- Reviewed in Canada on February 13, 2018Verified PurchaseFaber-Castell Polychromos is a beautiful artist quality coloured pencil set. The down-side, they are a expensive; a full set of these is costly which is why I had to settle with a 60-pc set for now (but plan on upgrading again in the near future). This set has a wonderful range of colours, and these pencils are delightful to work with.
I am currently in the search for the perfect coloured pencils and I have purchased the main brands along with their water soluble counter-part. All have their pros and cons; as expected, the pricier ones - usually artist grade pencils, are the better products with some exceptions, and the Polychromos are becoming my favourite. Although I still like the Prismacolor due to the range of colours available, its smooth application, and much lower price point (in Canada), the Polychromos are just as dynamic, smooth, with beautiful, vibrant pigments. Another plus and this sets it apart from the Prismacolors: these are durable due to a slightly thicker pencil. Their rich pigments blend and layer well, mixes well with other brands, leaves no wax bloom, and you are able to get a sharp edge with very minimal breakage- actually I've had ZERO lead breakages while sharpening these, unlike Prismacolor, and the Derwent Coloursoft's. The lightfastness of the pigments is outstanding and surpasses Prismacolor; 102 are rated *** (Excellent) , 16 are rated ** (Very Good) with only 2 out of the 120 are rated * (Good). If you are not on a budget and can afford these sets (I recommend the larger sets), these are highly recommended for artists of all ages and skillsets.
The only colours where other brands gave the Polychromos a run for their money is the black and White. This is where I found the Prismacolor edged out the Polychromos slightly (although all take a back seat to the exquisitely Black and White Stabilo ALL). Still the Faber-Castell Polychromos is a high quality coloured pencil set; smooth laydown/application, vibrant, professional output, great durability, and a dynamic colour selection of 120 colours. These will enhance all of your coloured pencil art pieces. This handsome 60-pc set contains the pencils within 2 trays- stacked, inside a durable tin, and a small booklet is included. Love it. If price is not an issue fellow artists- get the 120-pc set. Do it!

- Reviewed in Canada on August 2, 2016Verified PurchaseLayering well these vibrant pencil crayons have very high light fastness according to my research online. They can be put on top of other media and mixed with other types of pencil crayons. Several colours are different from similar prismacolours and so if you want to be more serious about pencil crayons I recommend both. The white however is very translucent and is best used as a brightening under layer or as a blender that pales the colours below as it burnishes. The leads do not break easily and are not frustrating. They look and feel beautiful and smooth in the hand and have a nice level of softness to the lead but are not super soft. they sharpen well to a fine point but always keep a sharpener near at hand to refresh the tip as needed. This tin closes well and travels easily. Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 27, 2019Verified PurchaseThey are so nice to work with! I’m no artist, but I just love how you can blend with these. There seems to be no limit to the layers you can add, which is exactly what I was looking for. I also love how they never break! Not even when sharpening! I haven’t had a led break yet! & they keep the point on the pencil we’ll, & don’t need to be sharpened very often! I’m loving them so much, I will be buying a few more colors to round out my set.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 8, 2020Verified PurchaseThe only negative is that I wish I bought a bigger set!
These are very nice to work with. A bit thicker so they feel nicer and last longer.
Sharpens beautifully and the colours are rich. It's nice to know that you can buy them individually if you wear one out. Worth the money!
- Reviewed in Canada on January 11, 2025Verified PurchaseNice tin Can and well organized. Like that the pencil have the name and number on the pencil. Would have liked to get the 120 package but too much money for me

- Reviewed in Canada on May 16, 2021Verified PurchaseFantastic quality pencil crayons, since they are oil based have been experimenting using them with oil paints (thin layers on illustration board). They also don’t break as easily as other brands. Great colour range.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 6, 2024Verified PurchaseI usually paint but recently wanted to explore using high pigmented pencils. These are oil based and very richly pigmented. I love using them in layers to build a painting. Using these on Panpastel paper, Strathmore hot press, and watercolor paper give beautiful results.
