Review: very impressed - Faber-Castell Polychromos: A True Masterpiece! Wow, just wow! Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils are an absolute dream for any artist. The colors are incredibly vibrant and rich, layering beautifully without any chalkiness. They blend like a dream, allowing for smooth transitions and stunning realism. The break-resistant lead is a huge plus, meaning you can apply firm pressure without worry. From subtle sketches to bold, detailed illustrations, these pencils deliver consistent, high-quality results every single time. They're worth every penny for the sheer joy and professional finish they bring to my artwork. If you're looking to elevate your colored pencil game, look no further. Absolutely essential!
Review: Best coloured pencils that I have used ... so far! - Some years ago, I was working on an art project and decided to use Faber-Castell Polychromos Colour Pencils. I bought them as they are generally believed to be among the finest oil-based coloured pencils available on the market. I like the fact that they have dense pigment for vivid colours and excellent colour balance. With a smooth texture, they are great for blending and layering, and can be used with solvents. Unlike some coloured pencils, there was no smudging. These pencils hold a sharper point than most of the other brands that I have used, and I have never experienced breakage. I have found that polychromos pencils work best on smooth textured drawing paper. This is particularly beneficial to people with arthritis in the hands and fingers. From my positive experience in using Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, I can see why they are considered a favourite with artists worldwide!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the case alone worth the extra £100?**
A: It is a lovely case and it does help keep and carry the pencils safely. I have taken them packed in my case on a plane and they were unharmed. Helps see the pencils easily.

**Q: So, what is the diference between this pack, and the normal 120 pack that cost's almost half?**
A: I bought this for my daughter because it comes in a beautiful wooden case, but I'm sure the tin of 120 pencils are watercolour, these are not. If you keep an eye out on Amazon you can get the wooden case one for a lot cheaper. Sorry this is a bit vague but it was a special present for my daughter and it's beautiful, you won't be disappointed. X

**Q: Does this box come with extra storage sections at the back of the lower tier, as shown in images of this product on other websites?**
A: It does. It's divided into three smaller sections, one ribbed to hold the pencils, and the other two are just empty trays.

**Q: I have the tin of 60 pencils. Is it worth buying the 120 set? Does anyone have a list of the colours not included in the 60 set so I could buy individ**
A: I like having the full set of colours although there are probably a few that I have not so far used. Its very useful to have a wide range for animal fur, flowers and plants. I had bought over 40 colours individually before purchasing the whole set. Any on-line supplier of individual pencils will have them listed individually.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Confidence Boost
*by T***S on 2 May 2017*

Now I have decided my new colouring hobby is here to stay it is time to splash out on some top quality pencils. After much research, I have narrowed my search down to 2 choices. I will try a small box of each. The first is this box of 12 Faber-Castell polychromes. Not sure if I can add anything to all the previous reviews, but they are really lovely pencils to use. It surprised me how much better my colouring looked in my practice book. I wasn't using one of the really beautiful books I have, but a book with simple pictures to practice techniques yet my efforts were so much better than I have previously managed, thanks to these great pencils. I was able to create so many colours from this small set, the pencils were beautifully smooth and easy to blend and layer. As a comparative beginner to colouring, I did wonder if I would bother with expensive pencils as I am no artistic expert, just someone who always really enjoyed colouring as a child: tried it again as a relaxing hobby and found I love it just as much as when I was little. Having read many colourists reviews, watched plenty of YouTube demos I thought i would see if better quality pencils would make much of a difference, and am amazed at the outcome. These 12 pencils have improved my results so much and have given me an enormous boost of confidence. I was worried my efforts would not do my beautiful books justice, but this is no longer the case. I have no problem in thoroughly recommending these pencils, and don't believe that for me at least, others will beat them, but will try another manufacturers small set just to see.
