Review: Surprisingly good colour pencils. - The set of 48 pencils comes in a attractive tin package with plastic trays. The trays keep the pencils in place while not in use or if your on the move needing to carry them. Pencils them selfs come in the tin but the trays do have a funny chemical smell when you first time open them and disappears after a day or two. Pencils are very nice to use and feel comfortable in the hand. They look great being black barrel and having the the colour of the pencil as the end tip to identify each pencil with a brief description along the barrel colour name and number. They are soft and buttery when using them on the paper. Very easy to blend together and can take a few layers to build colour up. So far I have had no duplicates or Brocken leads yet while using them. The colour palette of the pencils are good for this set and each pencil has a unique name for the colours I found useful and easy to remember. These are good pencils practice with if you are on a budget and need some premium pencils. Can be used for adults for actual art or children and adults colouring books. Review: Great product - Fantastic product delivered quickly, great quality colours, and coverage ## Features - OPEN STOCK PENCILS AVAILABLE: Replace your favourite pencils without needing to buy a new coloring pencils set.

Pencils colouring for adult colouring books and coloured pencil set is not for watercolour use - VIBRANT COLORS WITHOUT DUPLICATES: 48 vivid colors, shades and hues in this set. Colors like Cats Eye, Opal and Saphire and are pre-sharpened ready to pop off the page. Every color pencil is labelled with a clever name and number code on the barrel, and there's a convenient color chart on the bottom the tin packaging - RICH PIGMENTS THAT BLEND AND LAYER LIKE VELVET: These coloring pencils have a wax core which means they blend, shade and layer seamlessly without smudging or strain. The deep, rich pigments result in a creamy, velvet finish and blend beautifully even on black paper - PENCIL CORE DOESN'T BREAK WHEN SHARPENED: The soft wax core and tips of these art colored pencils don't crumble and break when sharpened or when pressing down to extract darker shades when blending. This means less sharpening is needed, so the tips of your colored pencils stay sharp longer - COMFORTABLE TO HOLD AND COOL TO DISPLAY: The sleek barrel of these colored pencils is Spider Black, which adds elegance and a touch of cool to your art supplies. The hexagon shape means the pencil is more comfortable in your hand for drawing, needs less pressure for the colors to lay down and they won't roll off your drawing table ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0868WZ4BQ | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 39,414 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 235 in Coloured Pencils for Adults | | Body Shape | Hexagonal | | Brand | Black Widow | | Brand Name | Black Widow | | Closure Type | tin | | Colour | Black | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,461 Reviews | | Drill Point | Fine | | Grip Type | Contoured | | Hardness | 3H or higher | | Included Components | Sharpener | | Ink Base | Pigment | | Ink Colour | Black | | Ink colour | Black | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | Ambidextrous | | Item Dimensions | 20 x 21 x 0.2 centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.54 Kilograms | | Line Size | 0_3mm | | Manufacturer | Medihealth 1 | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | Black Widow | | Model Number | MN 1DE | | Recommended Uses For Product | Colouring, Drawing, Sketching | | Special Features | Blendable, Lightweight, Non Toxic, Smooth Coloring | | Style | Contemporary | | Subject Character | Black Widow | | Theme | Artistic Expression | | UPC | 686557543742 | | Unit Count | 48.0 count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Colored Pencil | | Writing Technique | Pencil Lead | | Writing instrument form | Colored Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Black Widow - **Colour:** Black - **Ink colour:** Black - **Material:** Wood - **Model name:** Black Widow - **Point type:** Fine - **Special feature:** Blendable, Lightweight, Non Toxic, Smooth Coloring - **Unit count:** 48.0 Count - **Writing instrument form:** Colored Pencil ## Images ![Colouring Pencils 48 Coloured Pencil Set | Best For Sketching - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MGIjBuifL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly good colour pencils. *by J***N on 9 February 2024* The set of 48 pencils comes in a attractive tin package with plastic trays.

The Monarch's are mostly pastels anr are definitely my favourite. The Black Widow, Cobra and Scorpion have a different assortment of colours. The light and dark skin tone sets make colouring skin a lot easier! But buying all sets definitely create a comprehensive and unique set of colours (144 pencils in total) and are definitely worth the investment. They are my favourite budget pencils, they blend and layer fabulously and I also love the octagonal barrel which makes gripping the pencil easier. They are not as soft as Prismacolor Premier's but are nearly on par in terms of vibrancy and layering. One downside I have found is some of my pencils crumbled, 1 in particular is the shade 'Mud' that I lost 1/3 of the pencil. The Dahle 133 sharpener fixed the problem for me and have found they are more delicate on my pencils than my other sharpeners. Anyhow, I promptly contacted their Facebook page and they immediately sent out a replacement pencil for me all the way from Australia (took 8 weeks roughly to arrive). Their customer service is awesome and I really hope they do open stock one day! ## Frequently Bought Together - Black Widow Colouring Pencils, 48 pc Coloured Pencil Set.
