Review on Derwent Colored Drawing Pencils - 24 Count Metal Tin Set: Premium Quality and Vibrant Shades (0700672) by Morgan Gilmore

I recently bought these pencils and love them. I've used them on both pastel paper and bristol card and they worked great on both. White and black really are the best in this line. The black here is much darker than my black Prismacolor pencil. They are much softer than Prismacolor pencils. Imagine the combination of Prismacolor Premier pencils and oil pastels. I love how fuzzy they blend together. However, they are not for everyone. My Prismacolor holds the point better. It would be rubbish for detailed adult coloring pages because they don't hold the point very well. In the reviews, people wrote that they liked the portraits. I'm a portrait painter and did a portrait with them, but I didn't like them for that purpose. They were perfect for drawing furry animals. I like the coloring. It's really well thought out. Great shades of gray for shadows. I don't recommend them for working with a lot of fine detail, you'll spend like crazy sharpening them. I like them a lot, but I will be buying some Polychromes from Faber Castell for my most detailed work. Something important to know about it. They are incredibly lightfast, which is not typical of colored pencils. All but one have a top lightfastness rating of 8, and the one that doesn't has a 7. This is important to me because I sell my originals and don't want my work to fade with my buyers. They work great with my Prismacolor. Pencils, so I often use both in parts. The nose in the tiger drawing is the only part I used Prismacolor on because there is no pink in the Derwent pencil set.
