Faber-Castell Creative Studio Goldfaber Colour Pencil, Multicoloured Tin of 48 Pencils, for Art, Craft, Drawing, Sketching, Home, School, University, Colouring

I did a lot of research before I decided to purchase this box of 48 coloured pencils. I was torn between these, the Faber Castell Polychromo series and Derwent's Lightfast. For me, the Goldfaber was the right decision for a variety of reasons: .) The range of colours offers everything I need. I love the vibrancy of the colours. .) The pencils are neither too hard (they feel creamy and lush when colouring) nor too soft (they sharpen to a fine point, excellent for detail work) .) The price is mid-range for a high quality product and a lot more affordable than the other series mentioned. .) I love the smaller, two layered tin box. It's easier to store than the wider tins, and, with the easy lift out-tray, the pencils are easily accessible. .) As a hobby artist, this is perfect for me! If you are a professional artist, your needs might be different from mine. The one thing that concerned me before me was that the pencils don't have the colour name printed on them. They only have a number, and inside the tin there's a list where you can check their names. Strangely, now that I'm using the pencils, this is a non issue. You'll soon get used to the system and it is only a minor drawback. Highly recommended!

My first thought on receiving my order was Amazon really need to sort out their packaging as again these were delivered in just a cardboard Envelope.. But on opening said package all was well no pencils broken, tin not damaged ( still think a box would be better to send out pencils rather than a cardboard envelope), just my opinion. I have since got my colouring out to try out pencils, all worked very well.. colours are great and yet again I find Faber castell a very good make and no problems at all with sharpening .. my only suggestion would be that they do a larger tin of 72 if not more like they do with their other ones.. These are very good for getting into delicate corners or tiny spaces as they are a thinner lead and keep to a point as slightly harder lead than their polychromes , but both pencils work well together.. Overall very good buy not a bad or high price tag .. No regrets on these at all

Faber Castell produce excellent pencils and these are no exception. They layer and blend very well on a variety of papers. A great selection of 48 colours, but a shame that there is not a larger set available. Hopefully in the future, there will be. The pencils are numbered, but there is no colour name on the pencil. The tin is quite compact, with the top tray layer having handles, so it lifts out easily. Removing each pencil from the tray is easy.

These are wonderful pencils. Soft, full of pigment and a really great range of colours. They behave very similarly to Derwent Chromaflow and could easily be used alongside them. Terrific value. Love them!!!

As soon as i opened these goldfaber pencils i had to try them to see how they colour ..the pencils seem abit thinner than the polychromos..but they are really nice to use and nicely sharpened..just a pity they only do these in a tin of 48..

I bought these as I have Fabre castle poly chromos They are quite good for the money .lovely colours, They are not the same as polychromos as these are wax I believ,e but price wise I think they are a good addition for my colouring books As the colours match up wth polys Worth the money a nice set of pencils Very pleased

very impressed with the faber gold 48 set of colouring pencills. there equal to the faber castell polychomes. the gold is gold in this set. just would like more of them. there are some open stock at the moment which is great . the faber gold just has the number on the pencil its written in white which is easy to see on the grey blue barrol there also a barcode and the country too. in the tin there a booklet , the trays have lifting loops which i love ( think the lifting loops are just in 48 tin as this is the maximum size set) they colour beautifuly . for £33 it a lovely set.

Great quality colouring pencils as can be expected from Faber Castell! I was researching between more oily pencils and decided I did not been the smooth blend that pencils like polychromos gave. These are a bit harder and not as costly and I’m very happy with this purchase. Will purchase again when I need to top up my supplies.

I enjoy coloring and drawing in my free time and these pencils are a great choice. The quality is excellent and the colors are rich and vibrant, which makes a big difference when working on details or blending. They feel nice to use and perform consistently well. I’m very happy with them!

Je voulais des crayons de couleurs Faber-Castell non aquarelables. Et je suis ravie de mon achat. J'ai déjà les polychromos et des caran d'Ache luminance mais j'adore cette marque. Alors je me suis offerte cette boîte de 48 crayons non aquarelables, mines grasses, proche de la peinture à l'huile. Boîte métallique, envoi rapide et soigné. Pas de doublons, ni casse, se taillent bien. Le plus ce sont les deux crayons or et argent qui sont vraiment irisés. Très beau nuancier de couleurs. Absolument parfait. Je recommande vivement.

Kızımı çizim konusunda desteklemek ve motive etmek için aldım. Okulda bu boyalarla katıldığı ilk yarışmada birinci oldu. Set tam anlamıyla mükemmel. İnsanın çizim yapası geliyor durduk yere.

Love colouring pictures and already own Gold Faber colour pencils but 24 colours. Bought 48 colours for wider range

Pour tous les artistes en herbe , les grands comme moi qui adorent le dessin . J’adore le choix de couleurs ,la présentation dans cette boîte en métal ….. Ils sont dispendieux mais je ne regrette pas….. J’adore !
