great product. really good to work with. thank you.

Easy to use. Very soft and creamy with lovely colors. Sharpens nicely. Good value and quality

I am quite happy with the pencils. ( I not only use them to draw, but also to mark on cross stitch patterns. And then if I want to reuse the pattern, I just erase the marks & reuse the pattern!

Here’s the thing about charcoal pencils. It really depends on the paper you use. I was very excited to use these because I had used Pandafly and Markart in the past. But because I was also excited to use Strathmore Toned Mix Media Blue paper. It was a bit of a struggle to blend. Now that I think about it. Strathmore blue paper is heavier and thicker than the toned tan paper that I use often. It says it’s a vellum surface. I found myself having to reapply and add layers upon layers to get a smooth look. And with the toned tan. I don’t have to add much. But overall these were wonderful and I believe had I drawn this on a Bristol smooth paper. Or the lighter toned tan paper, the colors would pop and apply very easily to the paper. But I will definitely say this is a very good buy and the colors seem richer in tone which I loved. They were more of a creamy charcoal feel too. Just wonderful!

Great colors and very bendable for skin tones, a little hard to sharpen bc the lead keeps breaking but I think having an electric sharpener would help

Good pencils nice color selection

I love them but let's call this what it is: A collection of eleven pastel pencils and one charcoal pencil. I'm not complaining though. The selection of colors is great. If you have experience working with pastel pencils and need these colors, buy them. If it's your first time with pastel pencils there's a slight learning curve (harder to sharpen and easier to break), so keep that in mind. I guess marketing them as "colored charcoal pencils" makes them stand out from the other products? It is misleading though.

Nice pencils but they break easily.

These charcoals are excellent for either high contrast colour design, simple portraits (rendered on the right paper and blended with Conte sticks) or backgrounds and dream-like settings. Excellent for figure drawing as well. So many uses and the different hues make the work so much more accessible than grey tones and washes.

Parfait pour moi comme artiste du dimanche. Moins salissant que la pastel sec que j'ai connu. 😉

Broke everytime kind of chalky I don't like it like that found some work for me

All the leads are broken into parts. Already nearly a quarter or half gone before actually have the opportunity to use. Extremely disappointed and frustrated. Expected better quality products from Amazon US. If you want 'Made in China' pencils, buy from Chinese website. Much cheaper. Did not see that coming....
