Colored Pencils, 100

Crayola 100-Count Colored Pencils are a great value for the price. While there are higher-end pencils out there, they also come with much higher price tags — and these perform exactly how you’d expect for what you’re paying. The colors are bright, smooth enough for everyday use, and reliable for school projects, coloring, and creative work. The variety of colors is excellent, the pencils are durable, and they sharpen well without constant breakage. The quality matches the price perfectly, making this set a smart choice for students, kids, and anyone who wants a large color selection without overspending. A solid, dependable option.

I own most of the pencils produced, from Holbein and Lumenence to Colleen, Sudee Stile and Deli (Polychromos look-a-likes) and most of those in between. These pencils are by far the best budget pencil out there, not just because of the low price, but because of the way they perform. The pack I received didn't have any duplicate colors. The down side of this purchase was the shipping. I purchased directly from Amazon and they shipped by putting it in an oversized bubble mailer. The package is not taped closed so all the pencils had exited the box by the time they got to me. None were damaged but dang, no one wants that. If the flaps on the box had been taped or the mailer folded over more snugly that wouldn't have happened. I suggest buying these at a store if this is a huge problem for you. I highly recommend these for anyone just getting into coloring books and even the more seasoned colorist too. They would complement Polychromos, Lyra Polycolor, and Marco Renoir pencils nicely. Pro: Hard pencil that holds a point extremely well, but doesn't require a lot of pressure to get color on the paper. They allow for a few layers and will blend well enough (key to blending is light layers, no hard edge). Beautiful colors. Con: You cannot get as many layers as the more expensive pencils like Lyra, Prismacolor, Polychromos.... There aren't enough dark versions of colors and not many greys at all. One pencil was not marked with a name. I believe that was just a fluke though and figuring it out wasn't much of a chore. I chose this illustration, from Zemlja Snova, to test these pencils. For the record, some areas have 6-7 layers, and I never did experience any bloom. Also, the black really does a nice job of darkening colors without making them dull or muddy. I haven't been getting good light lately and so my photo doesn't do the finished work justice- some color loss and gradient isn't as strong. However, I think you can see the shading and blending fairly well.

Before buying this product I read so many reviews where people wrote that pencils were broken, missing, used, falling out of the box or otherwise in bad shape. This is why I find it very important to write a review myself after my package has now arrived and I had a chance to look at and try out my new pencils. I have bought the 100 different colors box. This box does not contain any metallics, like gold or silver. It is clearly stated however, I feel like saying it again as some people still seem to expect these colors to be present. I received a perfectly fine box with all pencils present and intact. To me it does not seem as if the box was opened or used before. The box was sealed with a stripe of tape, so no pencils would fall out either. I have started coloring with the pencils and they perform as expected, i.e. they put color on a paper. Of course, these are not 'high end' pencils, but you are not paying for that, so this should be obvious. I am a happy customer with a big box of pencils.

The Crayola 100 Different Color Pencil Package is a great buy for a beginning adult colorist who doesn’t want to spend big money seeing if she really likes coloring or not. These pencils offer very good color choices in pencils with a good feel in the hand. They lay down color well according to the paper they are being used on like any other pencil does. They blend fairly well. No, they aren't the very expensive top-of-line pencils, but they are more than adequate and may become your pencil of choice. Please use a good sharpener on any pencil and sharpen gently. Hand-held sharpeners generally work best. They travel compactly in the box they come in. Pencil choices are very personal, so I recommend starting with these pencils unless you can afford to determine your liking of coloring with the big brands. These were packaged well with no breakage.

Ideal for adult coloring. Easy to use. Size is like a pencil. Very durable

Crayola una garanzia. Prodotto ottimo, molto gradito. Bellissimo colori, punta e mina abbastanza resistente.

Hälften av pennorna är för hårda och dåligt pigmenterade. Dock är de inte vaxiga, och tål jobbas med i lager. Blandar ganska bra, men svårt att få ut full pigmentering.

Just revcieved them Box will not last and colours differ from back of box displayed

Llegó bien la caja

Esses lápis são exatamente como eu tinha ouvido falar deles, maravilhosos, super pigmentados, macios sem ser manteigas. Super recomendo.
