Review on Soucolor 72-Color Colored Pencils: Soft Core Art Supplies for Adult Coloring Books, Sketching & Drawing - Perfect Gift for Beginners, Kids, and Adults by Susan King

A great choice for one of the first colored pencil sets I bought when I got into art recently. Pencils become buttery smooth, crisp and vibrant with minimal effort! (This was a Soucolor set - 60 pieces, supplied in a brown cardboard cylinder). However, I was very disappointed when I bought my second set of Soucolor crayons (well, they were advertised as 'Soucolor') in a pack of 160 (in a plastic stationery case) but didn't notice when I opened them only they had a different name (brand/manufacturer I guess) on the pens themselves, but they also look very different and don't have the same quality/feel/etc at all. like the first 60 pack Soucolor set I bought. When I ordered the 2nd set of 160 I was SO excited and looking forward to getting my job done with an even larger package of the 1st set in the mail that I expected to be given so many other great colors to choose from . Not sure what happened to the 2nd pack which was so different and to this day I am still very disappointed but as for the 60 pack in a round brown tin I don't have a better, more premium feeling and no better texture packaging found. The price is even on par with the more expensive brands I've tried so far.
