Review on ✏️ Derwent Procolour Pencils, 72 Count Metal Tin, for Drawing and Art (2302508) by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

-1 for durability in pencils

As a crayon fanatic, I was excited to try these crayons and they did not disappoint. The color choices are very balanced to my taste, although perhaps the green could have been left out for a deeper red like Alizarin Crimson. In application they are similar to Luminance or Polychromos, smooth and creamy. Not sure how many coats they can take, but so far I've applied 5 to a test pattern on cheap paper with great results. I would give them 5* but only about half have above average lightfastness. And why is every can of Derwent I order dented? Regardless of what brand I use, I place a small lamp directly over it and warm it up a bit. This minimizes breakage on even my infamously fickle Prismacolors.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
