Review on πŸ–οΈ Derwent Graphic Drawing Pencils: Medium Point, Metal Tin, Set of 12 (34214) by Ann Montana

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not to say they're the worst, but probably not the best.

This is my first set of professional drawing pens so I definitely get better drawing results with my medium range 12 point set than anything I've used before. In reality, however, Derwent can be a little prickly. As for the leads, most of them are fine and sharpen perfectly, however at least two pencils, 2B and 3B, have problems with leads breaking in the sharpener and some roughness on the wood body making it almost impossible to sharpening them and like a result almost impossible to use and I use a pretty good sharpener. This creates a pretty big price/performance disadvantage as you don't really get what you pay for if you can't use 2 out of 12 pens. However, they aren't that expensive to start with, so I'd say they aren't the worst pens in the world and there's no harm in trying them out.

Pros
  • Full Set
Cons
  • Can do damage
