## Description

From the manufacturer Polychromos Artists´ Colour Pencils For more than 100 years, Polychromos artists' colour pencils have been convincing artists all over the world with their excellent quality. The high-quality pigments ensure unsurpassed lightfastness and outstanding colour brilliance. The smudge-proof and waterproof 3.8mm thick colour lead is silky smooth to the and is particularly break-resistant. The Polychromos artists' colour pencil therefore lives up to its name in every respect. Features High-quality acid-free pigments in bright colours, unsurpassed lightfastness Soft, vibrant colour laydown Water-resistant and smudgeproof Thick 3.8 mm lead Available in 120 individual colours Hatching / Cross Hatching Held at a steep angle, the Polychromos artist’s colour pencil produces the finest lines. This pencil position is ideal for hatching, cross-hatching and precise line work, e.g. when sketching. Varying Pressure Different shades of colour can be created by varying the pressure on the pencil. The Polychromos artist’s colour pencil withstands even the most extreme pressure, which allows for intensive, closed colour areas. Colour transitions Colour transitions can be easily created by blending with a pencil or paper wiper. Embossed Paper Embossing paper is a charming technique. Random textures or exact contours can be embossed onto the paper surface with a suitable embossing pen or a blunt needle before you start drawing. Then, when you start drawing, the deeper lines in the paper are not touched by the drawing. Accessories Castell 9000 Art Set Artists´ graphite pencils for the highest demands. A range from 2H to 8B for maximum tonal value differences and breathtaking depth effects. Twin Sharpening Box Quality sharpener for easy and clean sharpening. For all common pencil shapes: Standard and Jumbo, Graphite and colour pencils. Art Eraser Dust Free Dust-free eraser for clean removal of pencil and colour pencil lines and for subsequent creation of white space or less intensive colour areas. Blending Stump Blending stump for smudging colour pigments. Faber-Castell Faber-Castell, founded in 1761, is one of the world’s leading companies for high-quality products for writing, drawing and creative design as well as decorative cosmetic products. It is one of the oldest industrial companies in the world and has been owned by the same family for nine generations. With more than two billion pencils and colour pencils per year and around 8,000 employees, Faber-Castell is the world’s leading manufacturer of wood-cased pencils, represented in over 120 countries, with production sites in nine countries and companies in 23 countries. Faber-Castell can draw a positive balance regarding climate protection. A scientific study by the German technical inspection association TÜV Rheinland has confirmed that Faber-Castell’s forests in Brazil absorb more than 900,000 tons of carbon. They retain considerably more CO2 than the company emits worldwide, so that Faber-Castell can consider itself to be carbon neutral.

Review: Confidence Boost - 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.
Review: Expensive but worth it - I bought these pencils for my daughter who was studying design for GCSE, which involved a lot of sketching and shading of drawings. I could see the difference when she started using these for shading - the colours are strong and clean, and they colour smoothly and evenly - and she said they were so much nicer to use than cheap pencils, and made it much easier to produce neat, evenly coloured designs. I don't know if this would make a difference to her grade in itself, but it did mean she was happier to spend time working on her designs, better motivated, and she felt more satisfied with the finished sketches. The pencils colour smoothly, can be blended but don't smudge as long as you're careful, and the leads can be sharpened easily without breaking too often. The tin is attractive and practical for school, protecting the pencils without taking up too much space. These pencils are expensive, but for an artist or older child who will look after them, well worth the extra money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb Quality
*by J***W on 13 January 2014*

These coloured pencils really are worth the extra money over cheaper options. This is my second set of these pencils and I couldn't be happier with the purchases. Presentation The Pencils just look premium as soon as you see them or pick them up. They come in a metal tin, giving beautiful presentation and a professional look. Quality The quality of the pencils is of a very high standard, when you move up from buying Caryola coloured pencils to these, you can really see why they cost that little bit extra. The pencils also sharpen very well, I haven't had any breaks in the lead. Usage The pencils are Polychromos - for those of you who aren't massively 'into' art and different types of pencils, this basically means they are blendable. They produce very vivid colours - even more so when colours are added on top of one another to produce layers making the colour stand out on the page. I would highly recommend these pencils to anyone looking for a more professional or quality set. The range of colours provided is sufficient for a beginner like me.
