🎨 Faber Castell Limited Edition 111th Anniversary: Explore the Tin of 12 Polychromos Artists' Pencils Review

I've heard so much about Polychromos pencils. When I heard they were releasing a limited edition pencil for the anniversary, I had to buy a few. I like the hardness of the pencils because sometimes my hands are heavy and my Prismacolor pencils tend to break at the tips when I paint. The color sets very well and these are great colors. I have nothing bad to say about it and would love to get the current pencils. I'm so glad I ordered them. It was a great purchase.
