These are the best budget pencils I have ever used. They are a medium hard leaded pencil, lay down really smoothly, good pigment layout and blend well.A balanced color palette with just the right amount of pastel and grey colors included. True value for the price. ***** Five Stars

Good item

great pencil for beginners and those who want to supplement their more expensive brands,

I really enjoyed using these MARKART 120 soft core. Colored pencils to color in my Women’s adult makeup coloring book. I found it enjoyable because I was able to blend colors easily, say for the hair by using several different colors of brown and then in spots blending them together. You don’t get any doubles, each pencil has its own distinct color. When I did need to erase in a spot I was able to completely erase the color without having any issue. When I am in need of Colored Pencils again I will definitely choose these. The price was very reasonable for the amount I received and the quality of the pencils themselves.

These pencils are exactly as described. Pigmented and vivid colors. Easy to layer with. Smooth lay down. If you can't afford prismacolor pencils, these are near the experience of prismacolor. They aren't prismacolor, but it gives you a close or near experience with the vivid colors. Great budget pencils. Can't go wrong with these. But I will add, these pencils do have a lot of crumbs as you color. I feel it's not that important since the crumbs don't stick to the paper so easy. Just use a nail or makeup brush and dust them off.

Love these pencils! I’m a beginning colorist, but the quality is there at an affordable price. Recommend trying these out to see if the coloring hobby is for you. Then when you advance, invest in the expensive stuff. Blends nicely. Nice color selection.

I usually buy prisma colors pencils. It gets to be quite expensive when you color a lot. I do. My form of relieving stress. I included some pictures I colored by a new artist I tried which I really like. (Kerby Rosanes). As you can see the colors are nice and vivid, I love the choice of colors included. They color almost as well as prisma colors. Actually, I’m liking them better right now. They are softer but not quite as soft as prisma colors. They sharpen great. There has not been one pencil that I had to keep sharpening away which was a nice change. The price was great. Comes in a nice little medal box. I also took a picture of my sharpener. It is a “red” cover girl eye brow pencil sharpener. Not sure if they still make them but this little sharpener, if you can find it, is the best sharpener for any types of pencils I’ve tried. If you come across one somewhere pick yourself one up. It has to be the red one though because I’ve tried others and they aren’t as good as this little red sucker. Just a little secret I wanted to pass along. I’m usually a Johanna Besford kind of girl as far as coloring but I wanted to get a book to use the new pencils on. Really recommend this artist. Very different and great imagination. Really can’t say enough good things about these pencils. I am going to order more. Give my wallet a break from the prisma colors. Highly recommend you give them a try. Judge by the pictures, you can see how rich and creamy the colors are. Hope this helps in your choice.
