🖌️ Cretacolor Art Chunky Charcoal Set: A Multi-purpose Drawing Kit Review

The quality of this drawing set is subpar compared to other brands. The pencils of the set broke easily during usage and smudged easily. Although it includes a few necessary items, it's cheaper to buy things individually elsewhere.

These are individually wrapped to protect them from color contamination, however this requires constant handling of these plastic boxes or the colors will interact. It's long and frustrating as the plastic cuts your fingers. The packaging of the whole box is made of the same plastic and I don't want to touch it. The colors are good, but the impression of using them is not.

This glow is amazing! The colors are fantastic and work well on their own or combine with Derwent XL Charcoal (with purple!) for a more complete set. They also go well with soft pastel colors. They blend easily and can be easily achieved in a variety of light and dark shades. I really like how they look on pastel paper and are a lot easier to work with than harder pastels like Rembrandt. As one reviewer said, they come packaged in individual plastic rectangles that are very difficult to open…
