Royal Langnickel Essentials Pencil 12 Piece Review

These pencils are terrible for arts and crafts .The lead is too hard and breaks easily, making it difficult to achieve a smooth line. The colors are dull and lack vibrancy. The only pro is that it comes with a sharpener but that is not enough to save the product. Save your money and invest in something better..

I will never buy this brand again. I was hoping they would be good for shading and color blending. Very wrong. I wouldn't give it to a student. If I only paint with one color you can tell that the pen is blotchy as some parts are darker or lighter than others. For shading it is better to use the same colored pencil with a strength that is still difficult to say. Black color cannot be mixed. And with other colors they do not stain on another color, and also on untouched paper.
