I've included as many photos as possible because I am so impressed by this brand.
I am not an artist but I enjoy coloring.
This set is so well packaged for shipment, it was in three boxes.
First, I purchased the 120 color pencil set, the case itself is really sturdy, I won't need anything more durable however, I do wish there was a carrying handle on the side of the case.
When you open the case, you'll find a tutorial booklet, a color and product guide, a tester sheet, a help card, a booklet on care, color theory and techniques - this is wonderful for the beginner (like myself).
Some reviews mentioned cracked or broken tips, I only had one that was cracked in half, once I removed the broken piece, I was able to use that half without it breaking further.
If you're going to use the tester sheet, check each pencil to ensure it matches the number on the sheet, once I made it through the yellows and pinks, I assumed they were all in order, but some of my blues were not and I ended up coloring the wrong blocks on the sheet before I caught the mistake.
When applying the pencils to paper, the color goes down like butter, it is so smooth and so beautiful to use, I never thought about colored pencils in that way before but these are top quality, just absolutely wow!
Not one of them broke/splintered during coloring and I did use more pressure but the tips remained intact.
The blending is just superb and the pigmentation is stunning.
I haven't had to sharpen any pencils yet, so I can't write on this area to know how the tips will hold up, but Castle has provided sharpening techniques in their booklet (wish a sharpener was included).
I love these pencils and the quality Castle Arts has put into these products.
💯 recommend.
