Holy Grail! - Pencils

I own several high end brands of colored pencils (Faber Castell, Derwent and Conte a'Paris) and this one. Wow, I feel stupid spending a fortune on the above. Seriously, these pens are amazing. The Holy Grail, and I'm not exaggerating! These pens are wonderfully chalky, but not too chalky to leave too much powdery residue with each stroke. They are rich and highly pigmented, so the colors remain even when rubbed with a finger. And it's so easy to layer when you want more brilliance. This set of 60 is really perfect, you won't regret it. I have had a large number of sets where I have had pens that were almost fake and for the first time I can say they are not. Each color is unique to me and I see myself using each of them be it landscape, still life, portrait etc absolutely happy with them. So glad they exist! The pens don't have color names, which isn't a problem for me, but it means the swatches I post won't have color names. I uh, that'll show how great they are. I smeared the right side a bit for reference.

Pros
  • Good thing
