Review on Conté Paris Sketching Crayons Sanguine by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The size of a large match

Not a quality, I was shocked when I opened the box to find that they were almost were the size of a matchstick. They almost look like children's dollhouse props! There is no description of the actual size of the pencil on the website (just the dimensions of the box). I attached Prismacolor's nuPastel shots next to these Conte. I have since learned that there is no standard size for soft pastels. Each Prismacolor nuPastel should be 2.5 times the size of a Conte pencil.

Pros
  • The Conte a Paris drawing pencils come in a variety of tried and tested colors Sanguine, Gray and Bistre, 3 varieties White and Black complete the range
Cons
  • Unreliable
