🖍️ Artist Grade Colored Pencil Set - US Art Supply 50 Piece with Bonus Zippered Carry Case - Ideal for Adult Coloring Books Review

I haven't used barrel pencils in 40 years. At that time the leads were very rigid and the colors limited, totally unsatisfactory in general. BUT THESE PENCILS ARE GREAT! The soft tips make coloring easy and blending and shading is a breeze!

Bought as a gift for my nephew who loves to draw. Everything is nice and neat in it. The elastic that holds the pins in place is quite tight so the pins don't fall out, but it can be a bit difficult for my little nephew to get them in or out (he's 6 years old). But it's not that difficult and he wasn't discouraged at all, so I'm happy.

Includes a black storage case to keep pens from lying around. I have found that the intensity of the colors depends on the type of paper used. The colors are bright and I had to play around with things to get the intensity I wanted. I only use them to color my drawings of things I'm designing to knit to see what colors I want to use for each one.

I bought a set of crayons in a black zip case for our granddaughter for Christmas as she loves to draw. It was perfect and helped her keep all her pens neatly in one place and take them with her when she goes somewhere. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone who enjoys drawing and using colored pencils. Good quality pencils, don't hold or drag when sharpened.

There are many beautiful colors and they seem to hold up well - don't crack when sharpened. But there seems to be a waxy substance on the fretboard that makes it impossible to produce very light or dark colors. I've tried several different colors and they all seem to be there which is very disappointing. I was hoping for a good set of colored pencils and am not quite sure if this is the right set. But like I said, very nice colors, lots of colors, and the case is pretty cool too, especially…
