WoomerPremium 72 Colored Pencils, Artists 3.8mm Creamy Soft Core with Lightfast Vibrant Color, Ideal Sketching Coloring Pencils for Kids Adults Beginners with Case Tin Box

These feel great to use, extremely close to Prismacolor pencils, very creamy, blends easily, vibrant colors. Beautiful color selection, I had a smile on my face while swatching. I almost took a star off because of the gold lettering, I had to use a headlamp magnifier to read the color names. I wish manufacturers would stop this practice, yes the gold looks pretty, but we like to be able to read the information on the pencil most of all. But, the quality of the pencils made me still give 5 stars. There is a rating system for lightfastness, but they don't state what system is used, so if that's important to you, be aware. They are rated up to 5 stars, and none of the colors are below a 3, even the pinks. Hmmmm. KThey sharpen easily in an electric sharpener, no splintering or point breakage. These pencils are a joy to use. The tin case is sturdy enough, the inner trays are flimsy. I find it easier to use when my pencils are in a case, more convenient. I hope they come out with bigger sets in a pencil case, not a tin, I would buy them immediately. I highly recommend trying these. Worth every penny!Been using these pencils for a couple of weeks now, love them more every day, hardly use my Prismas unless I need a certain color. I see that they went down a little in the price, plus a coupon, so I'm ordering another set today to make sure have enough. I wish they would come out with a bigger set, or have the option of no tin, I always use a pencil case. They must have figured out the Prisma formula, I can't get over how these seem identical. So creamy and easy to blend! Again, I highly recommend!

Great quality, yet on the budget. Pencils really feel very close to Prismacolor: vibrant colors, soft, easily blending, thicker pencil core. No problems with sharpening and breakage. The pencils keep the sharp point relatively long, Hopefully the manufacturer will expand the set size (perhaps a few skin tones would be great). There is not enough info regarding lightfastness. The inner plastic trays are flimsy and need improvement.

I was SO pleasantly surprised with these. Such good value for money. They feel nice, they work nice, they don't feel or look cheap. At all. They feel like a high-quality pencil in your hand. They work really well. I like them waaay better than the arrtx (I didn't like them). I think they're even better than Shpirrer Farben pencils.( Better than Arteza and Castle Arts, hands down.) I ENJOYED swatching these. And I paid 23 dollars for them!Most importantly, to me, they did a FABULOUS job of color selecting for a 72 set!! One of the best, if not THE best, I've seen. I love that there are NO metallics, and that they instead give us actual colors to use, i love that there aren't 15 yellows (or grays) in a 72 set. They managed to achieve such quality(even in the details) at such a more-than-reasonable price. I've had no breakages, and they keep their point much better than prismacolors. I love them. And I would happily buy these 72 AGAIN if they were to come out with a 120 count set. Also, they have color names and numbers. And the colors are super-vibrant/saturated! So glad I bought them.

I own all the top professional brands of colored pencils (Caran d’Ache Luminance, Derwent Lightfast, Faber-Castell Polychromos, Prismacolor, etc). A video review led me to these budget pencils I normally would have rejected them out of hand. Unbelievable! Fabulous pencils with good lightfast ratings, smooth laydown with hues that magically fall in between those of my other colors. How Woomer produces such quality pencils at such a low price is beyond me. Get them!

This is a very good budget pencil. When I purchased my set less than a year ago, I paid $24.99. A little more than the other budget pencils on the market. I received the pencils and was impressed with the quality. They were smooth, creamy, well pigmented and AFFORDABLE. Today, this same set is priced at $38.99. This is a big increase for a budget pencil and may place it out of reach for some potential budget buyers. My hope is Woomer will evaluate their pricing of these pencils and identify with the clientele who purchase them and place the pencils back into a price range for budget shoppers. It's awesome to find a budget pencil that is a good and affordable.

These are firm and hold their point like a mostly oil-based pencil, but they put down a lot of color very quickly (even with very little pressure) like a mostly-wax based pencil. They slide across the paper very easily; no drag or scratchiness. (And they actually are light fast. It's not just talk.)The only issue I had (and I seem to be the only one who has encountered this so far) is that about 25 of the pencils had either somewhat or badly off-centered leads. It was the most consistent in the blues and purples, but the problem was all through the set. Perhaps I just got a bad batch.Other than than, yes, I would buy them again. Not only that, I would love to see this in a larger set and sold as open stock. (Each pencils has it's own bar code, so perhaps that's a possibility in the future.)

Have been using awhile now and I love them.Well made, beautiful colors, creamy, blendable.. as good as Prisma..even better not one has breaking issues. Priced similar to Arteza BUT much much better! You won't be sorry.This is update to my review.using them for nearly a year now and am even more in love with them. The layout is smooth and creamy. The pencil is beautiful to look at and feels good in the hand. They sharpen perfect, never a problem. NO Breakage!!!The colors are bright and easy to blend well. This set is perfection!! Color choices are very balanced for a 72 set.I have had some of the best artist grade pencils, Polycromos, derwent, carandache, prisma, and Woomer pencilsstack up to these! AND EVEN OUT PERFORM. For the price you should pick up a set, try them you won't regretthis purchase even if you already have too many pencils!!!
