Review on 🖍️ Koh-I-Noor Tri-Tone Multi-Colored Pencil Set: 24 Assorted Colors in Tin and Blister-Carded - A Vibrant Artistic Tool by Kim Sanchez

A lot of what I like about them I've already mentioned in the review of the set of 12. My previous uses for it: coloring books for stress relief and drawing. Maybe in time I'll try to use them for more serious work. I'd like to see how they work with lightfastness before I do too many serious things with them. If you're after a multicolored effect, you might find it beautiful or disappointing. My staining method seems to produce a more even color with peaks and midtones from three separate colors. I am not against it. Previously I would have had to use a lot of the things I painted as separate colors to get the same effect. Layers: You can get layers with this, but they are more transparent than Prismacolors. They are also somewhat more waxy. Pressing harder will cause the lead to flake off and create a mess. I did that with Prismacolors too, but the latter can give a nice color effect. These don't seem to do either. They can be wonderfully combined with the supplied mixer and Prismacolor. I assume they work well with a marker mixer too, although I haven't tested it yet. I generally find them handy for adding a base layer. They also work quite well with Prismacolors. Another nice thing: I thought they cleaned up pretty decently with an eraser. They don't rub off like graphite pencils, but flakes and streaks can be erased with a good eraser. (I prefer the white smudge-proof vinyl types) just enough for you to switch to a different color or use a different medium over it. They are very handy for removing stains on coloring books. The erasability of course depends on how light the color was applied. Lighter = easier to wash. It also works well for adding soft highlights. This set contains 11 colors from this set, a colorless mixing pen and 12 additional colors. Some of my favorites: Earth Tones: Very useful for coloring knots, earth, darker woods. (The 3 colors used would require 3 separate pens if I was using my normal set. Prismacolors and Design.) All 3 are green. (also in sentence 12). rainforest for darkness. Forest and meadow for midtones and highlights. I prefer more yellow highlights on the leaves. Tropical also produces a beautiful bluish-green color depending on application, Spanish Night – produces a beautiful burgundy color. It was the perfect color for a butterfly mourning robe with beautiful tones of red, purple and black. Poppy: A beautiful red with some orange tips. Violet and Twilight: The "violet" or "violets" of the set. The latter is rather dark blue. Blush: Standard pink with a slight purple hue. Yellow: My little joke about this set is that they don't have much variety in the colors they choose. They blend together to look pretty solid. Desert Yellow has some nice light to medium gradients. Maddigold (as it is written in pencil) - light yellow. The daffodil appears light or "lemon yellow". This one doesn't show a lot of peaks or mid-tones. As far as I can tell, it's pretty even in color. Tiger: Not my favorite of either set, but I see it as a sort of brown with an orange-black tint as useful. It was fun drawing with them. When used correctly, Volcano produces a beautiful red with some orange highlights and an earthy tone with gray. Amber: I thought it was neat when I could manipulate it and get either red with black or charcoal with orange. What color does the pencil throw at me? This way I can take advantage of the shadows and highlights that appear. They sharpen fairly well (darker sharpeners can get in the way of the wood). As the pen gets darker, the multicolor effect becomes more visible and you can press for more intense colors. This can also be helpful. -------- Update: I hit the sweet spot with these pens on smooth paper. (I tested them on a Colorama coloring book). I love how I can tint and press light to get a more intense color and darken it/add layers without building up too much wax. (which sometimes annoys me with Prismacolors) I also pay attention to my dashed lines when using them. Done right, the subtle gradients and streaks of color really add contour and create a beautiful effect. Done wrong and it might be a bit distracting. This forces me to practice my shots and avoid the tendency to fill up and down straight lines to get the most out of them. puts. There aren't really dark shades in any set.
