Review on πŸ–οΈ KOHINOOR 3828 144 Set of Artists' Colored Pencils by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exquisite palette for portraits!

WOW what a nice surprise! I ordered these pens at the end of October and they weren't supposed to arrive until the end of December. They arrived today about a week after ordering. Thanks for the quick and punctual delivery! There were no broken pencils and they were wrapped in plenty of bubble wrap. This is how pencils should be packed! Bravo! I checked out all these beauties this afternoon and am still amazed. I've had the Competition Box (Faber Castell Polychromos) for about 5 years now. I just never really enjoyed them because I think they're on the hard side. My hands hurt after using harder pencils. I think they are softer than other brands. Hooray! The color palette for this new large box is exquisite! Do you like to draw or paint portraits? When you do this, turn this box of pencils upside down. There are 7 high or skin tone pens. At first glance, they may seem quite light, but when you mix them with other shades of brown, you'll be amazed! The ability to create or color skin tones is amazing. I don't think there is a brand that can even come close in this regard. When it comes to portraits (my favorite thing to do), this pencil case is my new go-to. I hope this helps you decide whether or not to buy these pens. I have pretty much every brand of pencil imaginable except for portraits. It certainly doesn't get any better! I hope you are having a really good day. As always, please be careful and color in!
