Derwent Colored Drawing Pencils, Metal Tin, 24 Count (0700672)

LOVE, Best colours for animals and just the right shades. Just wish they were softer, they are closer to the Artist line but I like the Coloursoft line more. Very good pencils, I also have the inktense and watercolour lines, and the graphite, charocal, just the all the derwents!!! ALSO LOOOVE these and got the set for around $65, the DERWENT coloursoft colour pencils, also love the inktense

Love them for sketching.

These are excellent pencils, they dont wear down as fast as prismas and have more width so more comfortable to hold for extended periods. The lead isnt quite as durable as oil color pencils but close. They blend beautifully and you can get amazing depth by layering them on top of oil pencils. I use these for drawing animals and so the colors in this set are perfect. I used oil pencils for the base then used mostly these pencils for the fox.

I can see why these pencils are called fur and feather pencils. They very soft almost like pastel pencil. They are softer than Prismacolor Premier which I have and like very much. These seem to have less binder/wax than other color pencils. The color set covers most of the warm and cool colors of most animals coats. So if you are going to drawn animals this is a great set to have. To try them out I drew the head of the fox on the cover of the tin and was easily able to achieve the same look and I am not a professional artist by any means. There are not any bright colors like red or bright blue for certain birds however. They are mostly muted colors. I bought them to draw animals so I like these very much for that task. Be sure the check out the color bar or Derwents color chart on their website before buying these to make sure this is the color set you really want.

They blend really well and vibrant. Almost... almost... comparable to Caran Dache Luminance, I wish they came in a bigger set. These are way more superb than Derwent Coloursoft. They maybe more crumbly, but I can live with it.

Beautiful color selection for landscapes. The pigment is saturated, and blending is smooth.

very creamy and blend and burnish nicely. these are perfect working on animal fur

Super soft pencils, great for landscapes and natural type drawing and coloring. I enjoy ALL the Derwent pencils... they are the best by far

I just love the muted tones in this line and how all the colors seem to go together so nicely. I do mostly nature and botanical drawing and painting. These colors are fun to work with and just seem to give a more professional look. I initially bought the 12 pack and was so pleased I ordered this to have the complete set. The pencils feel really good too and sharpen nicely. They are a little soft to get/keep a really sharp point but I am using another pencil for very fine lines.

Derwent overall has wonderful products and so far I am really enjoying to use it.
