cheap but not “cheap”
I’m usually a watercolorist or digital painter but I wanted to get back into colored pencils. I have used Arteza paints and sketchbooks and really like those so I went for these pencils.Pros- not waxy or dull. Vibrant colors that layer well.- responds well to the solvents I tried. Baby oil and Meltz. The latter was superior.- Works okay with a Prismcolor blender. Im not a huge fan of those in general as they can dull the colors being so waxy.- Soft but I didn’t have any issues with breakage. Sharpens fine in a basic manual sharpener.Neutrals- the tin they come in is nice but the plastic trays that hold the pencils in layers are flimsy. I tend to draw on my lap so this may not annoy someone who sits at a desk. I moved them into a bag instead- the paint on the barrel of the pencil doesn’t always quite match what’s inside.- they are rated for lightfastednessCons- The white pencil is not great. I replaced it with a Cretacolor Permanent White (available here on Amazon)- lacking in reds and orangesThis drawing was made with these pencils, Meltz colored pencil solvent applied with a q tip (available here on Amazon too), and Cretacolor Permanent White. On a slightly toothy canson mixed media pad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely worth the price!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2020
I am not a professional artist but do have enough art background and experience to recognize good quality products and tools. I have sets of very expensive professional level colored pencils, as well as kid level sets. I have sets made in Europe, Asia, USA...in other words, I have a LOT of colored pencils. I have been so disappointed with the quality of my most expensive set, breakage, unable to handle pressure, rough wood interior, cost per replacement pencil, etc. In a bit of desperation I decided to try these...and they are lovely!! The color line is gorgeous, they sharpen beautifully (small hand sharpener, not a regular pencil sharpener!!), the box they come in is well made (usually I recycle the box, but not for this set). The lead is nice and thick, so for fine lines I do need to sharpen them, but they layer and blend so well!! The color name is on each pencil, which helps with remembering which colors I use. They came pre-sharpened, so the first needed sharpening is very easy. The wood inside seems to be very smooth so it doesn’t catch on the sharpener blade. The lead is on the soft side, so very fine lines might benefit from a harder lead, but they sharpen so easily that it is not difficult to get a nice thin line.
I’m sold on these pencils and highly recommend them.

5.0 out of 5 stars very vivid blendable pencils - pretty good cost to performance ratio
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2018
i like to draw - it gives me a feeling of great satisfaction and pride as well as i really like getting into that "zone" drawing for 6-8 hours at a time - although i am not an artist by any means of the word. i do not have any real techniques and i use references quite a bit. so i just do it for fun and sometimes it comes out ok and sometimes not but the idea is to have fun.

in these 3 years or so i have come to own Sargent, Marco Raffine (72), FC Polychromos (120), and recently Arteza (72), Prismacolor premier (72) which i have yet to use.

the pencils came in a tin stacked with plastic 3 plastic trays - the tin is wrapped in a thin plastic bag. when i received my pencils some of the pencils came loose and the tin cover was slightly opened - nothing appeared to be broken.

the pencils have very vivid colors and sharpen very well - they do come to a very sharp point - however i have a habit of pressing too hard and the sharp point sometimes crumbles from my heavy handedness.

i was able to try out the pencils over the weekend and i broke them in with a picture of St Basils Cathedral in Moscow, Russia.

they blend fairly well - i am lazy so i do not use solvents but then again i do not have experience with solvents. i used the prismacolor premier colorless blender.

i have attached my drawing - i look forward to using these pencils again.

10-24-20 update. I am ramping up my production because I need to fill up my sketchbook of 100 sheets (canson universal) - this is my goal.

I find that arteza colored pencils are great to work with. I think the colors are fantastic- prismacolor premier is creamier than these but these are great to work with too.

Reviewed in France on September 1, 2022
Superbes crayons de couleur, je suis ravie. La boîte est jolie et ne prend pas trop de place. Les crayons sont beaux et c'est agréable de colorier avec. Ils glissent bien sur le papier et sont très pigmentés.
72 couleurs me suffisent, je passe déjà assez de temps à chercher la bonne couleur comme ça. ;-) En plus, ces crayons sont bien adaptés pour faire des dégradés et des mélanges.
J'ai payé 35€ et je trouve que ça les vaut, ce sont les meilleurs crayons de couleur que j'ai ! (Je précise que je suis débutante et je n'ai jamais testé les marques chères pour le moment)
