Faber-Castell Polychromos Artists' Single Pencil - Colour 247 Indanthrene Blue

It’s a Farber Castel do I need to say more? If your unfamiliar with this brand try the Farber Castel 9000 or monochrome then, you will understand.

I purchased a full tin of these polychromos colored pencils to start doing some drawings with. These are very nice pencils. I don't need to use any fixative and the color won't fade. They are easily blended and layered. In my most recent drawing I used a total of 35 colored pencils in it, and didn't have any trouble blending any of them. However my new puppy got one of them and chewed a portion of one end and split the pencil up about an inch and a half. It was my cadmium yellow light. It is a beautiful yellow, one that I absolutely do not want to be without, so I ordered two more to replace what she chewed up. I have no regrets on the purchase of this set of polychromos colored pencils.

Excelente calidad pinta bastante bien , se activa mejor con agua.

I have NEVER in my life seen paint rub off of a pencil! It came right off when I sanitized this with rubbing alcohol! NOTHING in America is made well these days... I have cracks all over my fingertips, so I sanitized it! But as for how well the pencil works - AMAZING! Just please use better paint on the dang thing in the future?????

I’ve been a longtime fan of Faber-Castell products and I use the brush pens almost every day. Then I came across these after watching another artist use them for the darkest shadows in their graphite drawings. Just wow, brought the drawing to life and almost in 3D. This black pencil is for those artists that can’t decide between graphite or pen and I am happy to say you can have both now! I haven’t done a project yet with these due to the upcoming holidays but I cannot wait. Right out of the packaging and just a few strokes I noticed the quality is top grade. I know what your thinking, it’s just a pencil right? No, just holding this pencil was magical and inspiring. Anyone that has used less expensive products and immediately disappointed with results can appreciate this. I did my usual swatching and gradient testing for values and it was super easy to achieve from light to dark. When using graphite I find myself having to do too many layers or using too many different pencil shadings (h to b). I’m not saying this will replace those but having graphite softness along with the ease of this pencil for shadows is an absolute game changer for me. I will try to post pictures later when I get a project completed.

They used to be five star pencils but in the last few years they have problems with the tips breaking easily and the pastel lead seems to be inconsistent and already broken inside the pencil. The quality of these wonderful pencils have dropped but not the price! There's nothing like the prismacolors white but the rest of the Faber Castel Polychromo colored pencils are as good or better now. And they give the color freely as do prizma's, except you're not wasting them by resharpening constantly! Maybe the company should be brought back to the USA? They give you the amount that it says in this order though, not just one pencil like other sellers!

I have used Faber Castle Polychromos pencils for years, they blend the best of other colored pencils I have tried. Yes they are expensive. I did order from the factory but my orders were wrong both times. Now I just order from Amazon if I need specific colors.

They arrived sooner than I thought. Love them so much.💖💖💖

Ich nutze den Faber-Castell Polychromos in Schwarz (Farbnummer 199) hauptsächlich für Detailzeichnungen, schattierte Konturen und dunkle Hintergründe in meinen Skizzenbüchern. Da der schwarze Stift in jedem Set naturgemäß am schnellsten verbraucht ist, habe ich mir diesen Einzelstift als Nachschub bestellt. In der Praxis überzeugt die gewohnt herausragende Qualität der Polychromos-Reihe vollkommen. Die Mine ist auf Ölbasis gefertigt, was für einen wunderbar weichen, geschmeidigen Abrieb sorgt, ohne dabei zu krümeln oder unerwünscht zu verschmieren. Das Schwarz ist extrem deckend, tief und schattierintensiv. Selbst bei etwas festerem Druck bleibt die Mine stabil und bricht beim Anspitzen nicht ab – die spezielle SV-Verleimung leistet hier ganze Arbeit. Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen ist der im Vergleich zu einfachen Buntstiften etwas höhere Einzelpreis, der durch die hohe Lichtbeständigkeit und Langlebigkeit jedoch absolut gerechtfertigt wird. Wer auf der Suche nach einem hochpigmentierten, verlässlichen Schwarz für professionelle Zeichnungen oder anspruchsvolle Hobby-Projekte ist, macht mit dem Polychromos 199 alles richtig. Eine klare Kaufempfehlung für alle Künstler und Vielzeichner!
