Review on 🎨 Vivid & Professional: Derwent ColourSoft Colored Pencils - 72 Count Metal Tin (0701029) by Jessica Lewis

Just in time. I was very hesitant after buying the studios with all their problems. #1 These are big pencils so you need a sharpener with a big hole and they have a round barrel. #2 They have # and names on the pens and colored tip, but there is rubbish, very rough wooden sides, rough paint, a lot of chips, not a good feeling. #3 is too big for the details and the paper eats them up. #4 They don't sharpen evenly and some of them have bits of wood when sharpened. #5 Wires are crumbly and very dusty, my acid yellow keeps coming out in big chunks. Because of this, I lost an inch and a half. #6 Some pins have resistance. Very limited in each color and the colors are nothing special. #7 Comes in a nice wooden box with a latch, not like studios. You will have a hard time getting the end pins out from under the magnet bars. The pencils are too big and the magnets keep falling out. Not as soft as Prisma, thank goodness, but they are soft. I still don't know if it's oil or wax. So far I've only colored the chart and tried some shading. Not bad, needs updating. Unfortunately. You buy a more expensive brand and it has so many flaws. I have cheap brands that I bought in the beginning and they don't have all these problems.
