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

The colors are very nice. I needed more shades of brown as Im looking to draw foxes and these are perfect shades! Though the pigment does look slightly scratchier than other color pencils I have if without blending. Overall fantastic.

These pecils are just Fabulous ❤️. Great value.

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.

Rich pigment

The best pencils I have come across. They are very creamy and blend very well. I really love these pencils.

i like everything about them and I seldom say that about anything

Pencils are good and at a good price.

I didnt like these pencils at first because they kept breaking when I sharpened them. I usually dont have that problem with Derwent. But I realized that I was using a Prismacolor pencil sharpener to sharpen them. When I happened to use a tiny Derwent sharpener that I had lying around, the pencils sharpened without breaking. The colors are rich, but subtle, and they blend beautifully.

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.

The Derwent product holds true to its reputation. However, the plastic case the pencils lie in came damaged without the metal case showing any damages. So it was damaged before inserting into case. Otherwise, the pencils are fine and undamaged.
