These are great pencils for the price! Also, for those that don’t understand what this thing is that comes with it. It is called a pencil extender. After much use and you sharpen your pencil down to a tiny stump, you use this item. Slide the ring down, insert stub pencil, slide ring back up, and you’ve got yourself what feels like a full size pencil in your hand!

Good quality, easy to sharpen and writing comes out clean. Will buy again!

Very good pencils! Colors are right on point ha.

I have a lot of colored pencils that I use for different things. After spending a lot of money on Prismacolor pencils, I grew frustrated with split wood casings and endless broken leads. It makes no sense to pay for a professional, artist-grade pencil to only be able to use 1/4 of it due to breakage.I like to try no-name pencils because they are often good for practice sketches and student exercises where lightfastness and pigment details are irrelevant. So, on to the review of these pencils.PROS:* Vibrant colors* Has cool primary and warm primary colors* When sharpened to a point, the point holds and doesn't break under pressure (see CONS)* Nice array of blues and reds (see CONS)* Cushioned lid protects sharpened pencil tips* Provided sharpener works surprisingly well* Coverage is fairly even with no pigment streaks, even when applying more pressureCONS:* Pencils have numbers, but no color names* The number sequence does not correspond with the progression of the colors - it seems haphazard* One pencil had so much broken lead, by the time it was usable, it was done to 1/4 of the original length* A couple less blues and more yellows would be better* LOTS of pencil core dust resulting in pigment smearing on the page - FRUSTRATING* No open stock (which is expected for these types of pencil sets)I need to use them a bit more and see if I can work around the pencil core dust issue. For now, it's a significant issue. I either have to remember to keep blowing / dusting it off the page, which interrupts my creative process, or I end up smearing my work.

Hello Everybody.This is just a perfect little set of colored pencils. Now, I was not a big pencil user. I was a marker gal. I have seen the light. (:-D)This set comes in a very nice round, sturdy container with a lid. It's compact making it ideal as a take-along set. This set has "oil-based" lead in their color pencils. I purchased this set, because I was looking for a softer, oil-based pencil set. I can't say it any plainer, "This set is wonderful to use". The lead is very pigmented, and wonderfully soft, making it just incredibly easy to put color onto paper.So, most of you are probably thinking that this set is too small to worry about. Please, look at what I've been able to achieve with them. I am not an artist, I just love colors, and coloring. This particular set has made me love colored pencils. The vibrancy is so bright that when I was coloring my first page, I was getting a lot of color while just barely touching the paper with the pencil. Normally I color with gusto, very heavy-handed, but I wanted to be able to show everyone how well they worked with the lightest pressure, and how intense the color got when I burnished. So, I've got a couple photos for you to look at. The first page is a little mermaid taking in a bit of sun. She has a stained glass styled background and she's holding her "trident" and sports a crown. (This page is from "Whimsical World" by Molly Blakemore.) I was using as little pressure as I could, and I was getting a LOT of color. I put 3 light layers into the "ocean" area, starting with the light green. Dark green, and the teal went on next, and I aded some light brown to the bottom. The mermaid herself got all of the blues and purples for her tail, her hair got 2 shades of brown. The rock she's sitting on is not black and white. This set has a beautiful darkest brown, and it worked perfectly for coloring and highlighting the rock that she is sitting on. The stained glass styled background got all of the colors that I did not use on the bottom of the page. I used every colored pencil on this page, all 24.My next page is in considerable contrast to the mermaid page. This page is from "Yoga Lounge" by Vision Street, LLC. It is the first page in the book, so it was also the first page that I colored in the book as well. As you can see, I put my muscles to work. I started with the vase on the left, and I used that "color grouping" for the entire page. The set has a very nice flesh color, and the best blonde I've used so far. You see the blues, purples, reds are so VERY vibrant. When I felt I needed an additional color, I simply "stacked" my colors. Using this technique, I was able to make 14 additional shades to choose from. The background was done using only slight pressure. I overlapped the colors, making new ones. Quite the psychedelic trip, I must say.I have also made a color chart where each color is burnished so that I can see the full intensity of the colors. I have also included on my color chart, the "recipes" for making the 14 additional shades.My last page is the 2nd page in the "Yoga Lounge" book. You see 2 hands with a flower in the center, and a mandala, some stripes, and some dots. This page was done according to a challenge in one of my coloring groups. We were granted 9 colors, which we were given 1 day at a time, and we didn't know what the colors were to be. We were just to guess and jump in. The colors could have been markers, pens, colored pencils or watercolors, whatever we wanted. I used pens, water and alcohol markers, and 4 colored pencils. All of the pencils came from this set. (light gray, light peach, true green, and pumpkin orange.) You can see that the pencils blended in with the other media beautifully. The background was once again done using overlapping light layers of colors.Okay, so what I have to say about these pencils...................... I say get a set. The vibrancy is so bright, and the lead is so soft that this set is very easy to color with.The only thing I might mention, is that like all other softer leads, they can break while sharpening. Don't get frustrated. Just use a sharpener that is stationary, like a school sharpenpener, and the breakages are more infrequent. (This does not deter me from using them.)As always, let me know if you found what I've said here helpful. If not, I want to know that to, always room to improve.Thanx,Mindy

I had low expectations due to the how cheap they are. But I am extremely impressed. Great quality and vibrant colors. I love the holder for the pencils. And the added sharpening tool is a great bonus.

Great colors help me do my adult coloring books as a way to relax each day.

The colors are vibrant as advertised 3 stars, which is why I bought them. Negatives- see images -My project needed Yellow Green. Found on chart #29- Ginger Yellow, DOES NOT MATCH* My preferences; print actual color name on the pencil body as I have discovered the bottom color sample does not match the color lead. I had to take screenshot of chart just to get an idea,and chart isn't accurate. No burs is accurate, pencil lead still breaks once sharpened, good sharpener. I have experienced lead breaks from every brand in my possession.
