Title: I wish I could afford the big box😁
Review: I ordered the 36 count because I wanted quality pencils but the larger boxes were a bit beyond what I can afford right now. I love the texture and feel while drawing. They blend well and have wonderful color. I like that I can get fine details. They are beautiful and come in a sturdy box.!I highly recommend.

Title: The best pencil ever!
Review: First of all let me start out by saying that although I am not a professional artist, I have several family members who are and I know the difference between top quality, artist quality art supplies and the, lack for a better word, cheap art supplies. I have fallen into the adult coloring world that is so popular now, but I have colored all my life. The only difference is where I used to buy kids coloring books and a huge box of Crayola Crayons, now I buy adult coloring books and colored pencils. Like a lot of other people, I started with Crayola colored pencils. Crayola makes the best "crayons" I thought well, they must make decent colored pencils. Well ignorance is bliss, so they say. I had always heard of the Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and how amazing they were. So, after doing some research I broke down and bought the 48 pc set. Wow! I couldn't believe how buttery smooth they were! I thought nothing could get better than these babies! I was already familiar with several of the brand names, Prismacolor, Faber Castell, Derwent, but I never realized just how many brands of colored pencils were out there, all claiming to be soft, blendable, smooth color lay down, etc. So I began my research into all the different brands, read reviews on all the different brands, talked to my dad (the artist in the family) about all the different brands and learned a lot. I already had the Prismas, so I now I was dying to try the FC Polychromos. So I went to our local art supply stores which are either Michael's and Hobby Lobby. I didn't want to splurge on a huge set quite yet, so I found a 6pc set of the Polychromos, I didn't want to buy only one or two of the colors, so, after looking at the open stick, realized that I would save a couple of bucks if I bought the 6pc. When I got them home, and started to color with them, I fell instantly and utterly in love with them. Now I knew what all the ruckus about, these are absolutely and utterly, the best colored pencil ever! No breakage, no barrel cracks, even after sharpening them. So, I immediately ordered the 36 pc Studio Set in a box. I like the box instead of the tin, it seems sturdier somehow. I haven't picked up my Prismas in over a week, except to move the tin! I am now saving up for the 120 pc set, maybe my husband will get it for me for Christmas?! I will still use and love my Prismas along with my other less expensive but good quality brands. I love the Staedtler Triangular pencils (72 pc) and my Michael's brand (Artist Loft), but I will reach for my Poly's the most. You ask yourself, "can I justify paying that much for colored pencils"? YES! Start saving and when you can, SPLURGE! They are worth every penny, and what others are saying is 100% true. These are the best pencils ever! 5+ stars!!!UPDATE: I have since purchased the 120 pc set of Polychromos. I have found that I reach for these more than any other pencil. No breakage, no shrinkage from usage and the color lay down is amazing!

Title: Great Colored pencils!
Review: These are professional colored pencils (oil based). Work great! Smooth application of color. Different than wax based colored pencils. I like the box it comes in. The box does not take up a lot of room on my work area and the pencils are pre-sharpened. The box is thick and sturdy.

Title: Must buy if you like to draw or color
Review: These pencils are so smooth and beautiful. I’ve used coloring to help with the grief process so I spend an hour or more a day and my hand is never tired coloring.I’m so glad I splurged on this set. I’ve used other brands and there is such a big difference in quality.

Title: Lovely Pencils!
Review: In my lifetime I have found reviews to be exaggerated to one degree or another, so I rarely rely on them 100%, but I do read them and pay attention. I am n old woman with failing eyesight and had convinced myself that I really didn't need to pay premium price for colored pencils. I'm really glad that I ignored my own advice this time. The price of this set was so good for Prime days I just couldn't resist.The first time I felt and saw a huge difference, and if my health holds out I will add to my set without hesitation next time.

Title: Fabulous Pencils!
Review: I own literally every other brand of premium colored pencils available in the U.S. and these are hands-down the winner. Smooth, rich color goes on like butter. My only regret is that I only got the 36-pencil set!

Review: This is like using oil paints but better. The eyes and lips came out a glossy oil finish when pressing hard. Beautiful in the light. The rest of the face I sketched lightly and it gives a bit of dust that you can blow away extra and then rub with finger for subtle shading. Then I used regular oil paints for large areas like the hair and clothing. But so nice that I have control over the eye area and no mess! Game changer for me. My first portrait. Now I'm not scared to do eyes anymore. I'm doing tons of portraits now. Yay!

Review: De Polychromos no hay mucho que decir que no se haya dicho ya. La experiencia ha sido espectacular, colores vibrantes y fáciles de mezclar. Un producto digno del reconocimiento que posee.El vendedor por otra parte es sencillamente legendario. Un pequeño error en el set nos dejó con dos lápices 151, y sin el lápiz 120. Tan pronto como me comunique con el vendedor expresando este pequeño detalle ofreció disculpas y un par de soluciones a nuestra elección. El producto es tan bueno que solo queríamos tener el set completo. El vendedor ha enviado el lápiz 120 faltante y aún así ha insistido en que conservemos el duplicado del 151. Sencillamente uno de los departamentos de atención al cliente más eficientes que existe.Les dejo una foto de un proyecto realizado con este set.

Review: Llevo años usando los policromos de Faber Castell y me encantan para trabajar. Destacaría sobre todo que el tipo de caja en la que vienen es muy práctica para viajes. Me Los llevo a todas partes. La gama de colores es amplia. Caber Castell no defrauda.

Review: 缶入りの36色セットが値上がりしている中、据え置き価格でコンパクトに収納できるこちらのスタジオボックスセットを購入しました。このセットには132番ベージュレッド(旧名ライトフレッシュ)と137番ブルーバイオレットが入っているかわりに、125番ミドルパープルピンクと249番モーブが入って無いので、この２色が欲しい場合は単品で追加購入することになりますが、和名の『うすだいだい』132番が入っているだけでもお得感があるので、こちらのセットを買って良かったです。
