Recommended for beginners

Colored pencils look very nice, packaging too. On paper it is very smooth and very colorfully drawn. It's also very comfortable to hold when I'm painting with it.

Pros
  • Keeping my fists
Cons
  • Not as thick as other sets

Near Prismacolor

It's pretty near Prismacolor. They are not as creamy but sharpen better than Prismacolor. I also prefer the hand feel over Prismacolor because they are matte. Unlike many cheaper pencils, each pencil has a color name. I bought the portrait set because I have a set of coloring books with people in scenes so I needed skin tones. The skin tones in this set are a bit too pink or orange, but I can usually mix a few colors to get something realistic. There are no shades of green in the portrait set…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • disappears

Not bad, but not the best choice in this price range

Tried them with the Arteza and Prismacolor alternatives. In general both Prisma and Arteza are better for coloring and blending, Prisma is the best and Arteza is the cheaper alternative. The Castle Arts were about the same price as the Arteza pencils but not nearly as good overall. Also, Castle Arts pencils tend to be "finer" and leave more powder on the page that needs to be brushed off when coloring. The packaging looks quite decent, but the metal box started falling apart on the hinges after

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Portrait/Botticelli Set

I bought the Portrait and Botticelli sets as both had a natural skin tone which I wanted. I wish the Revain description had stated what colors are included in each set, as the cover shows a thumbnail of the color, not the actual number and title. That's why I add duplicates of each in my review. You can also see what is included in each set in my photos on the inside of the lid of the jar. The cross colors are the ones I'll probably use a lot, so I'm not mad, but they are: 72 Titanium White 8…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Unfashionable
