## Description

Faber Castel-Polychromous Colored Pencil Set In Metal Tin. Color pencils can be laid down with delicate or strong strokes to unfold their vibrant colors. The leads are bonded to prevent breakage. They can be perfectly combined with graphite pencils. This package contains sixty 3.8mm colored pencils in a wide range of colors within one 7-1/4x12-5/8x7/8 inch tin case. Conforms to ASTM D 4236. Acid free. Imported.

Review: Expensive, but worth it! - I love these oil-based professional colored pencils. They glide on easily, have vibrant colors, and are easy to blend. The leads are long lasting. The applied color has good light-fastness. The set of sixty pencils gives you a good selection of colors, and with its superior blending capability, the color palette you can create is endless. Another bonus I find with the Faber Castel pencil line is that the colors are consistent across products. This means that the color names and pigments for the Polychromos oil pencils are the same as those for their Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils. The set, packaged in a metal tin, arrived in perfect shape. For those who are considering purchasing the wax-based Prismacolor Premier colored pencils, which cost less than the Polychromos, I'll provide a little comparison here, since I own both. There have been many complaints about product control with the Mexico-manufactured Prismacolors. Lead breakage is a problem, especially if you drop a pencil. This is because the lead is not glued to the wood. The barrels may be chipped or warped. The lead cores are sometimes off-center too. But in the German-manufactured Polychromos, quality control is excellent, the lead is attached firmly to the wood, and I have experienced no lead breakage or other anomalies. The Prismacolor pencils have softer leads than the Polychromos and wear down far faster. That being said, I enjoy using both brands of pencil. They both have bright colors, and they even blend together well. If I have to give any negative comment, it's that the Polychromos pencils (and the Prismacolors as well) have round barrels, so they roll around on a table easily. A hexagonal shape would have been better not only to control the roll but also to hold them more firmly. But that's such a minor complaint that it doesn't detract from my five-star rating.
Review: Premium Quality Color Pencils That Elevate Your Art - I’ve always believed in quality over quantity, and the Faber-Castell Polychromos Artists' color pencils truly live up to that standard. These pencils are oil-based rather than wax-based, which means the points stay sharper for longer and require less frequent sharpening. The barrel design is sleek and aesthetically pleasing, and the overall feel is distinctly premium. While I don’t have extensive experience with colored pencils, I’ve noticed that blending isn’t quite as smooth as with my wax-based artist-grade pencils — not a flaw, just a difference in how they handle. Once you get used to their texture and layering, they perform beautifully. The included metal/tin case is sturdy and keeps the pencils well organized, though its length makes it a bit inconvenient for travel. If portability matters to you, I’d recommend investing in a zip-up pencil case with individual slots. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced artist, it’s worth investing in high-quality materials from the start and the Polychromos are a great example of why quality really does matter.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would these pencils work well for adult coloring?  Adult coloring books?**
A: The Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils are a good choice for adult coloring books. They have soft leads with very intense color that lays down easily onto the page.

**Q: For a newbie adult coloring book colorist, is it advisable to buy the 120 set?**
A: If you have the extra dollars for the 120 set, go for it... I have the 60 set and it's great, but sometimes I wish I got the 120 set when I'm on my coloring book

**Q: what tools would i use to blend?**
A: I blend these with a paintbrush dipped in baby oil.  Dab off the excess oil from your brush before blending.  I love the results

**Q: Do these have a strong smell?**
A: I have not noticed a strong smell of any kind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything an oil based colored pencil should be
*by R***S on March 9, 2016*

After owning a 48 set of PrismaColor Premier Colored Pencils for over 4 years, I was sick of having the soft leads break all the time. I spent so much money replacing pencils that I had whittled down to stubs in just a few sharpening. I had been aware of Faber-Castell Polychromos for a while, but did not consider them until I became fed up with my PrismaColors. Enough about PrismaColors, and more about the Polychromos. I know. (I think comparing them to PrismaColors is useful because most people looking to buy colored pencils are having trouble choosing between these two in particular) Pros: -Great selection of grays -Perfect variety in a 60 set--do not need the 120 -Tips NEVER break. In all my time using these, not one tip has broken, and I can always sharpen it to a perfect point -Best price you will find for artist quality oil-based colored pencils Cons (very minor): -Not as "full" as some wax-based colored pencils. The colors don't stick to the page the same way, but it's something to get used to -The initial arrangement of the colors in the box is not ideal, so I made my own color chart and rearranged. -As with many colored pencils, some of the lead colors do not match the paint on the wood -The white is somewhat of a disappointment. Not nearly as bold as the PrismaColor white I would definitely recommend them, but I am yet to decide if I'm completely in favor of these over the PrismaColors. They are a little bit different to work with, so it may just be that I need to develop my technique more, but I do think that the PrismaColors were easier to work with FOR ME. That being said, I understand that PrismaColor is having some quality control issues (the wooden casings snap very easily when being sharpened, the lead is not centered in the casing, and the leads are more prone to breaking due to the lacking quality). If you have not already found a brand that you are comfortable with, definitely buy these. If you are still comfortable with your PrismaColors, it could be tough letting go despite the imperfections that are completely non-existent in Faber-Castell colored pencils..
