Review on Derwent Pastel Pencils Metal 32996 by Shantel Griffin

UPDATE: I still love these pastel pencils from Derwent for their ease of use, color vibrancy and overall quality. BUT some of them seem to crumble and break pretty easily when I try (be careful!) to sharpen them. This seems to happen more often with the Dervents than with the Stabilos. Maybe the carrier dropped the box? I do not know. Oh, these are really good pastels. I also have a full set of Stabilo pastel pencils and they are the best. Great coverage, best color selection (72!), blends well and as an added bonus (for me) each pen is printed with the color name instead of just a number. Much easier to remember and find.
