    Great product!
    I not much when it comes to blending and all but I like how the price was and how many of them came I would say they are very worth it. It made it very easy for me to blend my drawings and these are very good to use when you want to blend in a certain part of the drawing more over parts that you can’t really blend with your finger because it will only mess it up. At first my package didn’t arrive saying the package got lost and all but they were able to replace it and I was totally fine with that as long as it came.

    It's a nice little set with good range of sizes. I've used these for both charcoal and graphite and they work great. It's a simple product but you'd be amazed how other brands mange to make bad ones. These will be my go to ones unless I happen to try something else. These can be purchased confidently for students and more advanced artists.

    I love these. I recently began drawing with charcoals, and I remembered using these in art class in high school, so I ordered them, and I was surprised how much better they worked now that I am an adult and understand what I am doing! lol
    I actually use the smallest one for cleaning my keyboard, because its gentle but can still get into the crevices too. I work in IT so I will likely order more just for that actually.

    Okay, used them for blending oil pastels. Found the stumps to be far more useful than the tortillions, that didn't last long.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Blending tool
    Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014

    Perfect blending tool for water color pencil. Dip the stump in turpenoid & apply to the colored picture. Make sure the color has to be removed from the stump before using it on a different color If not the colors will mix. I was amazed how well this media worked. The pencil marks blended so smooth. I watched a video how to use stumps to smooth color. For those who don't know how to use theses, one should get a few instructions first. There is enough stumps & tortillions in this package to use on several colors. These are a good addition to add to a collection. Do not allow small children to play with these.

    These were purchased as a stocking stuffing for my up and coming young artist. She is making her way through a self taught art course and requested these to give her aid. She was tired of getting the ol' gray artists finger when trying to shade her projects. With neat, pointed tortillions, the shading gets right where you want it. These are a great help and the assorted sizes are a real treat. I would suggest a kneadable eraser as well. Highly recommend.
    Silly artists, gray is for tortillions, not fingers. :-)

    Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2013

    Maybe I read the description incorrectly, but I thought these were individual packages. I ordered 2 packs, but I got 8! They came in packages of 4. Great value for the price, but now I have far too many of these. It's not worth sending them back. I shared them with my husband and my daughter and I have several for myself. I would have gladly ordered just one package had I known that each order contained 4 separate packages of what is shown.

    This little collection is great. I use them for pencils & charcoal. I've also been using one with crayon. LOVE the results! You can really get a different, more professional look from just plain old crayons! But once you use it with crayon, don't use it for pencil. It keeps the wax on it, doesn't really wipe off completely. But you get enough of them in this set to set one aside for crayon, one for charcoal, one for pencil, & STILL have another one for later!
