Castle Art Supplies 120 Colouring Pencils Zipper-Case Set | Quality Soft Core Coloured Leads for Adult Artists, Professionals and Colourists | in Neat, Strong Carry-Anywhere Zipper Case

They are wonderful colouring pencils . They are made in China like most of colouring pencils our days. What is not a bad thing to hold the price reasonable. This set has not the chemical stench like my first castle art supplies 120 set purchased nov.2018 which needed a week airing ! This new set scent is wood ! The soft case is very well made , not one split pencil and no breakage !!!! Of course you have to invest in a decent sharpener. Mine is a Helix desktop crank handle , a really useful buy . The colours are bright and beautiful. The palette is all’s and more what you ever need on variety. They are highly pigmented and not to soft or to hard . They can hold a fine point for detailed work . I owe also the full set of goldfaber(48) of faber-castell and some polychromos . I don’t understand the hype around them. They are just not for me , the polys I mean . Castle art are in my opinion much like goldfaber . But with a much larger colour range . Like with most colouring pencils the very light colours need a bit more work than the rest . I use them for Adult colouring books and they are just perfect. I was lucky, I got the 120 set middle of March As a special offer for £29.99. But I would pay the regular price for them . They blend and layer beautifully. There is nothing not likeable in this set , for less than £0.38 per pencil including a superb case with place for a few accessories like rubber and sharpener I can only advise to buy it before it is again sold out ! Like so many times the past months .

This set is excellent value for money - so much so it would make a lovely gift for an artistic older child as well as being suitable for adult use. I had been using a set of Karismacolor pencils, which are nearly all used up, and sadly are not longer made - this set seems like a decent replacement. They come in a useful zipped wallet, and each pencil is clearly numbered and named. I particularly liked the included colour testing sheet (a sheet of little numbered and named boxes for you to colour in with the actual pencils), which saved me from making my own. The pencils are nice to use, colour evenly, and the colour selection included is very good. Okay - they are probably not quite up to the quality of the best in the market, and I've no idea of how light-fast the pigments are, but they are nothing like the price of top quality pencils either! The only downside I can see is that the coloured pencils are not available to buy individually - so when a colour runs out that's it - you'd need to buy a whole new set - or replace the used-up pencil with a similar one of another brand.

Fantastic set!! I do animal portraits as a hobby and these are FANTASTIC! Soft enough and easy to blend yet still able to get those fine details in!100% worth it! Previously i was using a smaller set of the Arteza soft pencil which are lush! However, these are only JUST a tiny bit below the softness quality of the arteza but sooo worth the £45 for 120 colours/ shades when for £55 you can only get 60-70 (i cant remember exact pack size) of arteza pencils.HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A CHEAPER SUB. If i had more money than sence i would buy the Arteza 120 set for £130/£150 ish. However, i don't beleive they are worth the price tag when you can save £100ish on this set and still love them and get fantastic results. I've featured a photo of my latest comission using this pencil set and they were LOVELY to use!And they all have colours stated and a number and the pencil case is just so nice! No pencils bashing around breaking leads and easy to find colours!If you're an artist you need these in your life! Lol

Love these pencils! Are they the best pencils out there? No. But for the price, they are excellent value for money! Comes in a handy carry case which keeps them neat and tidy. Lovely quality and do what I need them to do.

If Castle Arts had 100 fans, I’m one of them, if they had 10 fans, I’m one of them, if they had one fan, it’s me, if they had 0, please kindly attend my funeral.I am in love, I was so close to purchasing a large set of prismacolour pencils until I came across this for almost half the price including a carry case. I’m in love with how smooth they are, the pigment and how the quality hasn’t been compromised despite a cheaper price point. It’s extremely easy to carry around if you like to doodle on the go.Some may say there are a few similar colours, and to that I say, you must have never been a woman in any of your lives. It’s like having a number of brown lip liners. They’re all brown, but some are warmer, cooler, more deep, more light etc . They all have their own function and use. I am entirely obsessed with these pencils.
