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 Steven Gray

I really wanted to learn how to draw. Of course, I started with an ordinary slate pencil, but then I still wanted to move on to color. You don’t always want to mess around with paints, and they aren’t always at hand, and you can take colored pencils with you to the park. I chose watercolor pencils because on the Internet they were all praised for their softness and for the fact that a light color can overlap a dark one, which cannot be done with ordinary children's pencils, only professional ones. Of course, the prices for professional pencils are sky-high, and suddenly in one online store I stumble upon a set watercolor pencils for 150 rubles for 12 colors. Yes, it's almost free. And the Kohinoor company has long been known for its consistent quality. On the same day, I tried them. Really very soft and you can easily achieve the desired color immediately by drawing a bold line or by making several layers. I work in layers, it's easier for me to perceive color. Of course, professional artists can work miracles even with such a box of 12 colors, I don’t have such talent, everything is pretty childish, but I hope this is due to lack of experience. On paper, they go very smoothly. The problem with watercolor pencils is that they run out quickly, the soft lead wears off quickly, and if you draw a lot, the pencils will run out quickly, so it’s better to buy regular pencils for children’s drawings, although on the other hand, these pencils are very interesting for children because they can be blurred with water like paint. These pencils are called watercolor because of their ability to completely dissolve in water. The effect may surprise you. But I haven’t done blur yet, I’m just learning to draw with them. Now there are several layers of pencils in the drawing, but it’s not finished, because when the work is finished, the apple will be bright like a real one. therefore, for children's kalyaks, it is better to buy ordinary pencils, although on the other hand, children are very interested in these pencils because they can be blurred with water like paint.

I show photos of unfinished works, because drawing is such a thing, today there is inspiration, but not tomorrow. But even here I think the difference with ordinary children's drawing pencils is visible. Of course, there are more expensive and popular pencils, but for beginners, I think you should start with these. While the first steps are being taken and a lot of mistakes are being made, it is not worth burning money into nowhere. Moreover, the quality of these pencils is not much inferior to other analogues. The colors are bright, the lead is soft, the pigment is stable, the pencils are safe. Producer Czech Republic. Pencils are sold in an ordinary cardboard box, of course, in beautiful pencil cases and other paraphernalia, pencils look more interesting, but they cost much more, I keep them in this box and nothing happened to them.
