Generally I work with graphite but I wanted to branch out into colored pencil. I asked a group of artists what pencils they would suggest and almost all of them said Polychromos. I was surprised at the cost of them when I started looking, especially because for me, it was just something I wanted to dabble in. But finding a damaged tin gave me a good discount and I went ahead and got them. I was seriously impressed by their quality on paper. They blend better than other brands and the color quality is impressive. Also, if you use one pencil a lot, you can always purchase it separately and replace it to your set. If you want to try colored pencil, I highly suggest trying these. You won't be disappointed.
These pencils are the best! Highly pigmented, no way buildup and easy to layer colors. Though they're normally very expensive, I got my set at a great price and am very glad I bought them. As a professional artist, they will be used often!
Faber-Castell colored pencils are a quality product for artists. They lay down color extremely well. They are greater for blending, burnishing, coloring and giving your art work a realistic look.
