Caran dAche Luminance 6901 Clr Pncl Set 76 Artist Rng

They are very nice pencils smooth good for blending they are very professional the pencil is very nice it’s self lead doesn’t break if you drop it like prismacolor, they don’t break every five seconds too but the box came a little broken but very nice

Was very bummed when I opened to find one of my blenders broke into 3 pieces. These pencils are very expensive- and are absolutely packed very very well, so I was very surprised to see that it was broken- other than that- I am satisfied

I love it! Thank you!

Pricey but really nice boxed set of high-quality pencils

I thought prismacolors were super smooth, but these pencils go on like butter. They are expensive, and don’t have a huge assortment of colors, but these are the cream of the crop.

I expected these pencils to be wonderful and they surly are. Nice, smooth and beautiful pigments. I do however, have some issues. 1. Id like more colors. 2. Im color challenged and have difficulty telling the color of some pencils. While theyre named &a numbered, the writing is in silver and difficult to read. 3. I use a battery powered sharpener because it gives me the sharp points I like. These pencils wont fit in the hole. Because of this, I will not be using these as much or often as Id like. Ill stay with my Faber Castel and, Careb d asche Pablo, and lastly, the Prismacolor.

I told myself that I would not buy these pricey, lightfast colored pencils since taking up color book coloring these past few months. However, I used to be an artist years prior and so I was intrigued by the Luminance portrait set of pencils, which are not duplicated in the full 76 count line by the way. I was so impressed with their layering and blending capabilities that I found myself using them on other types of pictures as well as portraits. I love using Caran dAche Neocolor I and II and found outstanding pigmentations in the Luminance colored pencils too. So now I own the full set of Lumies and I am so pleased with them. Is lightfastness necessary for a color book colorist, not as far as I am concerned. They are an investment for sure, but my creativity is important to me and so I enjoy using pleasing tools on extraordinary artists illustrations. These are beautifully constructed instruments meeting Caran dAche quality standards. The only complaint that I have would be some of the color names printed on the barrel are hard to read, but thats irrelevant, given the beautiful performance of the pencils.

It took a month and a half before I received these. Upon opening the box, there was quite a few that werent even fully sharpened. Thats was odd to me. I ordered these because of a YouTuber card maker recommended them. She also recommended Chameleon pencils. $200 vs $ 30. Of course my curiosity killed me so I went for the $200s. HUGE mistake. Im not impressed with them at all. Theyre ok, just not the price they charge for them. Some pencils felt smooth when applying to paper and others felt harder and rougher when applying. The differences were very noticeable.Do yourself a favor, if youre interested like I was, order a few open stock ones to try first. Then make youre decision.

Buy these pencils, your life will change for the better. PERIODT!!!

The most pigmented pencils i have ever used
