## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do these compare to Caran d'ache Neopastels oil?**
A: The Caran d'Ache Neopastel is an oil/wax pastel and the Faber-Castel soft pastels are dry, soft, and powdery.  Beyond that very important difference (apples and oranges, really), there is a very large difference in quality and expectations here.  So, for instance, no one using the Faber-Castel soft pastels should expect the pigments they are using to be lightfast, whereas Neopastels are each rated for lightfastness and, the last time I checked, they were mostly good to excellent in this regard.  So, it's impossible to come up with a comparison here that makes sense.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Are these full or half stick size?**
A: Half stick - 1 1/8". I might add that mine came from England, shipped in a box much larger than the Faber-Castel box with no packing at all. I expected a disaster but the sticks were so well and tightly packed in the Faber -Castell box (which itself comes in a tightly fitted sleeve) that the pastels came through completely unscathed.

**Q: How did this set differ from the faber-castell creative studio soft pastel half sticks box of 48 sold at the same price?**
A: Not familiar with the 48 box set.  I have the 72 set which I think are great.  Might be a difference in pastel length, but really can't verify that.  Could also be a different range of color, but not certain of that either.

**Q: Are these oil?**
A: mine were mini and not oil....love them

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems like good soft pastels
*by J***S on June 24, 2024*

When this asks 'good for beginners', I'm not certain if that is the right question. I've been drawing awhile and have used soft pastels. The beginning pack I got previously was cheap and had good colors, but it gave off an odor which bothered my family. This pack seems like very good quality and no odor. That counts for something. The pigments seem rich. I'm having no trouble blending them together. I am laying down background colors with these, following with pastel pencils by Farber-Castel, then putting in the most detail with Prismacolor pencils. This seems to work well for me.
