Review on 🎨 Castle Art Supplies 120 Colored Coloring Pencils Set: Expert Layering, Blending & Shading for Adults & Artists by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You will not be disappointed

There is something to talk about. Although I will write about some of the cons, overall I think this is a 5 star product. The only downside I have about this product is the packaging design. First, I love the packaging design: black tin can and a set of three bowls inside. Everything is nice and tidy and very well packaged. Some downsides are that it's a tin box, which means you're likely to have dings in the box or dings in the box. My box had a dent on the bottom, but not so bad that the box itself had trouble laying flat or had trouble getting pencils in and out or opening and closing. I also like the little handles attached to each tray so you can easily pick it up and take it out of the box. The downside is that I've already broken two of the straps, or should I say the piece of metal that secures in the hole doesn't want to stay in place so inserting and removing the trays is a bit more difficult without tying it up can use the straps. The only other minus point is that the pens are in their own holder inside the bowl, but are clamped there too tightly. So if you take out a pin, there is a more than likely chance that other pins will fall out as well. Now about pluses. These are great pens. If you are just looking for colored pencils then I suggest these. I've been a Prismacolor user for most of my life and regularly attend art shows and paint. These crayons blend very well together and because there are so many colors you really have the ability to take a color a tone or two lighter or darker without even pressing hard. If you need to apply more pigment, it won't take long and they will be smooth. There's a lot of purple and pink in this set, more than I've seen. There is a good range of colors and I don't think you will be disappointed. The pencil itself is thick and durable, making it less likely to break when used or sharpened. I like the black color of the pencil with the matching color on top, it makes the eyes more relaxed while searching for the color. Additionally, all colors have numbers instead of names, making it easier to organize and remember when searching for colors. Now I will use these pens. They're professional, bright, inexpensive, and just amazing to use.

Pros

Cons
