> 24 hourThese are my favorite pencils to use when rendering portraits. I actually already have several of each pencil but they are so nice to work with I couldnt pass up this buy at such a great price. It had every pencil I would normally buy but I saved a ton buying the set. The turquoise pencils are very smooth and blend amazingly together, whereas some other brands can get grainy or overly shiny. I definitely recommend this product to anyone that loves drawing in pencil. (Its a good idea, however, to have your own sharpener because the little one in the kit is a basic sharpener and is only really good for a backup plan...not comfortable to use at all, but it will come in handy if you cant find another sharpener.)

> 24 hourWhile Prismacolor isn’t known for its graphite pencils, this is a serviceable set in a nice tin that has almost everything you need, minus perhaps a tortillon or two. Not the greatest quality and the leads tend to be off center with the wood pencils, but the hardnesses seem accurate and the addition of the aquarelle pencils was a nice surprise. Overall a good set for on the go drawing and sketching.

> 24 hourI ordered 2 of these sets. The first one came with no issues. My daughter really liked them so I gave her mine and ordered a new set, which arrived with a broken pencil. After looking at other reviews, I do see that I’m not the only one that had this experience.

> 24 hourSo I sketch with these pencils and I go in with a charcoal at the end. I’m happy with the pencil quality and despite being graphite the drawing isn’t shiny! I’m sure these are on par with almost any graphite set. The erasers (a block and a kneadable) work great. The pencils sharpen well.

> 24 hourI bought for my daughter for art class at school. She really likes them and I could easily see the contrast in her work. Nice.

> 24 hourIf you or someone in your life is serious about drawing, but you dont want to go broke getting supplies this is the kit to get. It would make a wonderful gift. The quality of artwork is definitely effected by the quality of the art supplies. With this kit you can create professional quality artwork.

> 24 hourIm not joking when I say these are the best pencils I have used. I have tried Faber Castell pencils before, and I cant say Im a fan. However, the moment I tested these bad boys out, I was in love. The lead lays down so smoothly! I also love the different varieties of pencils you get in this set, including the water soluable graphite pencils. I didnt even know water soluable graphite pencils even existed! Awesome pencil set, and its not even too expensive!

> 24 hourGreat range of drawing pencils - a better range than most from 8B to 6H. And a variety of drawing tools. All came in the tin which is great, too.

> 24 hourThese pencils are back on track like they were years ago! This is my 3rd set in the past 2 years and I see zero flaws and have had zero issues! I love the way the woodless pencils so easily flow onto the paper...great for arthritic hands because you dont need to apply any pressure as there is enough weight in the pencils that they do the heavy lifting....you just need to be the guide ;) The turquoise pencils are back and great as they were from the beginning. Being a watercolorist, Im looking forward to trying the water soluble pencils. Ill update this review if I run into any issues. Ive been drawing graphite portraits for 40 years and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these awesome pencils!!!
