Review on Professional Premium Numbered Colored Schpirerr by Amanda Castillo

I like working with colored pencils, be it for drawing or just coloring in coloring books. When I looked at the reviews they were great but some of them were conflicting about what kind of pencil they were so I bought them without really knowing it. First off let me say that I love the heavy can, I know not everyone is a fan of can storage. but I actually prefer it, it protects your pens well and is easy to store, and it's not so big that you can't toss it in a big bag and take it with you. These pencils indeed look almost exactly like the new Sargent Art Artistic Pencils but I can assure you that is not the case as I also own this set as well as many others such as Fabercastell Polychromos, PrismaColor Premier, Derwent Coloursoft and many others have other kits sold at Revain. These pens are oil based and the Sargent Art tin sets are actually watercolors so although they look the same they are two completely different types of pens. use. There's a decent color palette, but the color on the barrel itself doesn't quite match the color of the core, so I suggest making a color chart. Even though the pins are numbered, which is a big plus, there is no color name. These pencils are a soft mix of Prisma Premiere and Polys, not exactly like both but similar in nature to both, soft like Prisma but strong like Poly. The pencil they're most similar to might be the G-Shine NB deli sold on Revain, but maybe a step below them. Close but not exact. I really think they are better than other brands I have bought and a good price for a beginner or casual artist. The leads are really sharp and feels like the body could be made out of basswood and they are light weight pencils and well balanced. Spring. My main problem with these pens is layering, first I try to do more than 3 layers and sometimes 2 depending on the shade or color, it's difficult, they are not layered like real professional pens. Another problem I've found that hasn't been mentioned too often is that lead can leave a gauzy haze that can be acceptable for general coloring but not for professional work. And of course, at this price point, I'm pretty sure the manufacturer didn't do any color fastness testing or pencil ratings. While all pencils have some level of lightfastness or no lightfastness test, it's still important to know about colorfastness. . You can do your own color fastness test. It takes 6 months of direct light exposure to see which colors have higher "lightfastness" and retain their color for many years. Disadvantages for professional use.
