Review on Tombow 51626 Recycled Colored Pencils, 24-Pack - Assorted Colors by Hannah Curi

They are good for the price. The color is rich and vibrant and washes out easily. The base set has a good color palette. Not as oily as higher quality pens, but still nice to hold. They are well shaded and layered. Blending could be better, but colors of the same family blend well. Haven't tried the blender, only the white crayon to try and blend. Maybe a blender would work better. I've attached a test sheet where I played around with them to see how they work. I'm just an amateur user so judge the results for yourself. They come in a sturdy tin and there was no damage or breakage. The pencils I sharpened worked well with a manual sharpener. They have a thick core and the cores are well centered. The colors at the ends of the pencils match well with the colors of the lead, with the exception of yellow, white and magenta. Yellow and white mainly because the natural color of the wood comes from the paint. Magenta on the other hand comes out darker/greyer than the ink end, more burgundy or burgundy than magenta. Overall I like them a lot and they are a good addition to my painting tools.
