Review on Polychromos 36 Pencil Studio Set by Amber Perez

My only complaint is that I couldn't afford a larger set! These Polychromos are awesome and more affordable than the Derwents which I really like. Polys colors are deep and rich; and cover every area much better than my big box pencils. If you're a color fanatic like me and looking for more intensity and coverage in your pens, buy these. Or add them to your wish list! (For non-electric pencil sharpeners) If your pencils break while sharpening, try the following: Hold a pencil in your non-dominant hand and a good sharpener in your other hand. Something in the angle of the pencil to the sharpener is doing its job. Twist a few turns at a time and you'll end up with sharp ends. I get used to sharp points and I love it! (Derwent's video on You-Tube taught me this method of pencil sharpening. You're gaining recognition, I have plenty of time without frustrating coloring.
