feela152 Colored Pencils with Pencil Sharpener Premium Soft Core Colors Pencils Set for Adult Coloring Books

I color in coloring books. These work nicely. Smooth and even. Coverage is very easy. And they don’t break easily and sharpen well. The colors are a little off for me, peach is red! But they give you a DIY color chart so you learn the colors.

I enjoy adult coloring and drawing and use all types of colored pencils and mediums for artwork. I purchased these for every day general use.The pencils come boxed in a nice cardboard box which is great for storage when not using. The set comes with 152 colored pencils that are pre-sharpened. 142 of the pencils are standard colored pencils and 10 of the pencils are metallic colors. The pencils are all stored nicely in 4 individual trays that stack. The trays are a bit on the light weight side but do have an indention on each side so you can easily pick up one tray at a time. When the pencils arrive they are sorted primarily by hue and not color number and the chart is in the same order as well.The set also contains a really nice color chart that you color yourself, it has a small box for each color and the color name next to it. You may notice that there are 20 boxes per row but only 19 actual colors per row so you will see the numbers offset and have an extra square that you don't color. The sheet is rather large, the size of the box itself and then folded in half. This is one of the greatest assets of this set and I wish more colored pencils companies offered similar charts. Lastly this set also comes with 2 green plastic sharpeners, which are fairly sharp and do a decent job of sharpening, but I actually prefer to use higher end sharpeners to prevent the wood from chipping and tips from splitting when sharpening. Because you do have 2 free sharpeners you can replace one at a time once they become dull. Dull sharpeners are often the biggest issues with colored pencils and cause the most damage overall.The pencils have a round barrel and a lacquer paint finish to them that is fairly close to the actual color of the lead. This set also has numbers stamped on each pencil and you can use the color chart to identify the names of the pencils. A few of the names are a bit strange, but most overall make complete sense.The pencil leads are soft core standard sized leads, based on my experience with both oil pencils and wax based, I would say these lean more to the wax based style of pencil for a few reasons:- The lead is very soft like PrismaColor pencils unlike oils which are very hard. Some tips do crumble but not significantly.- The lead lay down is incredibly smooth and creamy with high pigmentation again, like Prisma's whereas oil based pencils are are not as smooth and tend to have a scratchy feel to them. Not one of the Feela colored pencils felt scratchy at any time.- These pencils do have a bloom to them after layer 3 or more colors, another clear indicator of a wax based pencil.Regardless of what the actual blend is, these are an amazing set of creamy pencils.- No Odor. I find that when opening a set of oil based pencils there tends to be a strange odor, these do not have that odor.I really love these pencils, while not quite a Prisma, they are very much on par with them and comparable to several other brands like Sudee Stille, Lelix and several other brands which are on the wax based end of colored pencils. They are not like Marco's at all or Colore' oil based pencils or any other oil based pencils I've come across over the years.Because the leads are soft I do not have to apply a great deal of pressure to obtain a rich hue or to to go from a light to dark shade with the same pencil. The pencils do layer really well and blend great with or without an alcohol blender or mineral oil or odorless mineral spirits. I tested all 3 blending tools on the lion image and each produced pretty much the same result when blending. On the flower image I blended only by using layering and different pressure on the pencils themselves and found it to be super easy to achieve the results I was looking for.The metallic pencils are incredibly impressive, I have 2 other sets of metallic pencils which are pale in comparison, these ones are incredibly soft and creamy while other brands are very dry and produce very little color at all.The 142 standard colors offers a wide array of hues and saturation of pigments. While it might appear some pencils are the same color, under a proper LED bright white light you will notice subtle differences in them such as a green pencil might be a bit more on the blue spectrum and another comparable or like color actually has more yellow in it. Also, unlike many other sets, this set offers quite a few yellows, pinks and purples where many other sets lack these colors and tend to bulk up on blues and greens instead of offering a balanced set of colors.I would highly recommend this set for those who do general coloring or art and are seeking a budget friendly set of pencils with lots of extras. I find I am using these on a daily basis instead of any other set I currently own.

I purchased these to do adult coloring books. The lead in them is super nice, soft and vibrant colors. Live that there are so many colors to choose from. They also sharpen nicely and do not have the tip break off after being sharpened. Great value and would recommend for coloring or drawing.

In this set you get 152 colored pencils, 2 pencil sharpeners, and a paper chart with numbers and names preprinted for the buyer to complete as a swatch chart. The swatch chart is great and necessary as the color on the body is not always accurate. If you really want to be positive what color you're going to get keep the swatch chart handy, or a scratch sheet of paper to test them on. The pencils lay down color very nicely, and blend fairly easily. Most are a dream to use, but a few are scratchy. The only thing I've found that is less than great about these pencils is sharpening them. While sharpening with a handheld manual sharpener the tips have a tendency to break off. Even before getting the pencils to a sharp point the entire exposed lead will often break off. Even sharpening the pencils using extreme care breaking occurs. This doesn't happen with every pencil but it happens with some of the oranges, the reds, and some of all the other colors. The breaking helps you go through the pencils at an accelerated rate. These are not available open stock either. It's a shame but that one issue is huge. A sharp point on a pencil is essential. Also, while not necessarily a negative the way the pencils are staged in the box trays is unusual and needs addressing at some point by the user. The reasoning behind their placement is beyond my comprehension. Each flat of pencils, there are four, has a range of colors. Most flats have a range of the same color families though not duplicate colors. Not sure why all the greens aren't together, all the yellows together, etc. If you rearrange the colors to group them into their color families in each tray you will find that there are some color issues. There is a limited range of real reds, a very nice selection of black and Grey's, nice selection of oranges/peaches, and greens. Many of the colors that are available to use are very close in shade/hue to the others in their group. Overall though these are a good set of pencils which I've really been enjoying using for the last two weeks. If they could resolve the issue of breaking while being sharpened these could be amazing. For the price these are hard to beat even with the breakage issue.

I'm not a professional at anything having to do with colored pencils by any means (as you can tell from the coloring book picture I colored). However, I wanted to leave a review because these pencil leads we're so easy to color with. I've had others that were hard lead and hard to get a deep hue but these we're really nicer than I expected. They're the best I've owned. I like that there are many shades of each color and while the color list took a bit of time to complete, it was very helpful when deciding on a color (e.g. shading the blue snow).The one thing I didn't think of when purchasing these was that there would be 4 trays of colors. The trays aren't real sturdy - kind of bendy - and if not careful would easily dump out. I haven't decided the best way to use the box and trays since I normally sit on the couch when I color. My interim solution has to take the colors I think I'll use out and put in a cup next to me and use the box as a 'table'. It's working so far.

great colored pencils---smooth writing--good for blending---good assortment of colors--- good value
