KALOUR Pro Colored Pencils,Set of 520 Colors,Artists Soft Core with Vibrant Color,Ideal for Drawing Sketching Shading,Coloring Pencils for Adults Artists Beginners

I’ve been a Crayola snob since I learned how to hold a colored pencil in my hand. For almost forty years, I’ve exclusively used Crayola. That’s changed now. This 520 pack gives you so many more variations of color that it’s unreal. I think the best Crayola does is 150? So, just in terms of variety, Kalour is winning. The pencils literally glide across the page. They’re beautifully pigmented. I tend to color with an absurdly light hand, and they still look amazing. Imagine how they’d look if I actually pressed hard! But it’s like dragging a stick of butter across a hot plate, it’s that smooth. It also came in a fairly functional box that didn’t result in me peeling the skin from around my fingernails to access the pencils, which is always a win. The trays are a bit flimsy, as they’re very light plastic, but they do the job. And the tin is actually kind of pretty with the sea turtle. The size of the pencils is about what is standard for a colored pencil, both in length and circumference. The tops are rounded off, so if you wind up hitting yourself in the face, you’ll just get a rounded, lacquered end, rather than a new crescent shaped red mark. Organization is also great for someone who likes to keep things in order—obsessively so. The pencils are numbered, and that’s a game changer for me. I don’t have to ask myself where the colors fit in with ROYGBIV, because Kalour has it organized according to their own method. But having things in numerical order just makes me happy. The price is a bit much for coloring supplies, but the price is there for a reason. These pencils are worth every cent. They’re such amazing quality that I can’t say enough good things about them. If you’re on the fence, go for it. Buy them. They’re amazing pencils, and I can’t believe my Crayola snobbishness prevented me from finding these ages ago.

Really nice for the price. Beautiful colors, good quality. So many colors! Some have weird names but that's OK.

Hands down a great set of pencils! Had to get this set as I previously purchased 2 smaller sets. Early in my art journey it was important to me to learn how to blend and make new colors, here it's already for you! I find this set to be well organized and thought out. I enjoy portraits landscapes, waterscapes etc and I can blend even more colors. Normally I don't swatch new sets of pencils, I typically will use a scratch paper but felt that I needed to do so with these since there's so many color variations and it was absolutely enjoyable, the colors really pop. The lay down is smooth and seamless, the colors are stunning and having metallics, florescents, pastels and primary colors, the possibilities are endless. These budget pencils will be used interchangeably with my artist grade pencils without a problem and the price means I can buy more when needed. I did get 2 Champagne Yellows and am missing a Tuscan Yellow so I'll need to get that one hopefully as a single. Bravo on a great set of pencils and I highly recommend them to others. Kalour if you're seeing this, how can I get a Tuscan Yellow pencil? 💛 Thank you so much!

The amount of variety of colors in this set is mind-blowing. The trays come mostly divided by color with a few out of place. Going through them all to color the chart was time consuming because they're not in numerical order. The colors are not in numerical order either. Nor are they in shading order. None of this is a complaint, just stating facts for other buyers to be prepared. I had put them in number order per color and wasn't happy with that because I then had dark mixed with light. I am now having a blast sorting and lining them up in hue order from light to dark. What I like mostly about them is the smoothness of use on paper and sanded plastic, the names for many are spot on, and the nice metal box. What I don't like is only the bottom two have convenient handles, they all should have handles because removal of trays are a little difficult without them. The finger dents are not enough. And I had one pencil without a tip. The tip was nowhere in the box, so it was packed that way. Despite the minor inconveniences, I'd recommend this for everyone. I'm beyond glad I made this purchase. I dropped two and they didn't break. I think it's a good value for your money.

I absolutely love all the colors! So many to choose from! My ADHD brain gets overwhelmed! They lay down like butter and they blend beautifully. While, the product is amazing! I wish you would come with a website, so if I find a picture I like the colors on, I can find the closest color in my 520 set! I would love to see that.

I love these colors pencils. I'm not an artist but I enjoy coloring books and these have such a wide selection of colors and they are so smooth and I don't get the pencil imprint on my finger trying to fully fill the area with rich color, they fill so wonderfully without pressure.

I love these pencils! They were a Christmas gift from my husband. They took me hours to organize and swatch, but they're very nice to draw and color with. They blend very well. I haven't had many problems sharpening the pencils. I've been making several things with this set, which comes in a beautiful tin. Heck, I don't even want to get rid of the box they came in! Lol

So worth the money, I’ve tried them out and really love them the value you get for money is worth it. They’re packed really well to prevent breaking and damage to the set. So many colors to choose plus Metallic colors are included as well. They work like prism pencils to degrees they blend really nice. I’m enjoying them and don’t regret the purchase and happy with them.

Before I bought this I read a review, and it said: "They asked me if you really need 520 colors?" YES, YOU DO!. These are very good quality and all were delivered intact. Great set to have.

Que são excelentes! Paletas belíssimas! Bem macios! Estou apaixonada!

Als Hobbymalerin hatte ich schon lange mit dem Riesenset geliebäugelt. 520 Buntstifte - da geht jedem Maler das Herz auf. Jetzt habe ich die Stifte ein paar Tage im Dauereinsatz - und ich bin sowas von begeistert! Bei 520 Buntstiften kann man sich vorstellen, wie groß die Auswahl der einzelnen Farbnuancen ist. Ich vermisse keine Nuance! Von der Qualität her konnten mich die Stifte sofort begeistern - und so etwas schreibe ich nicht allzu oft! Die Buntstifte sind sehr gut pigmentiert und streichen schonend übers Papier. Die Minen sind butterweich und kein bisschen kratzig. Ein paar habe ich bereits neu angespitzt - weggebrochen ist nichts! Hier kauft man tatsächlich Qualität! Zur Verpackung: Die Stifte befinden sich in einem Pappkarton. In diesem Pappkarton befindet sich eine Blechschachtel, in der mehrere Plastikplatten die Stifte tragen. Die Verpackung ist nicht gerade wertig, hab aber auch schon die viel schlimmere Lösungen erlebt. Die Aufbewahrung ist auf jeden Fall brauchbar. Was mich etwas ärgert ist, das der Händler derzeit keinen Nachkauf von einzelnen Stiften anbietet. Das ist, was zu einem guten Service noch fehlt. In der Malerei ist es nun mal so, dass bestimmte Farben viel häufiger zum Einsatz kommen. Zum Glück habe ich in der Stadt einen Laden entdeckt, wo einzelne Farben an Buntstiften verkauft werden. Wäre dann zwar eine andere Marke, aber besser als irgendwann eine Lücke in der Schachtel. Ansonsten bin ich echt begeistert von den Buntstiften. Geeignet ist das Set meines Erachtens für Künstler und auch Hobbymaler gleichermaßen. Ich hatte die Stifte gestern mal einer anderen Profikünstlerin gezeigt: Sie sagte auch, damit könne sie arbeiten. Der Preis hierfür ist auch mehr als fair. Mein Fazit: 5 Sterne

Tengo varias cajas de lápices de colores Kalour y he de decir que dudé mucho en comprarme el set de 520 por lo grande que és. No me arrepiento. Vienen todos los colores que puedas imaginar y más, y pimentan tan bién como la caja verde de 240 unidades. Alguno de los lápices viene con algún defecto de acabado/pintura, pero por lo que valen, no se puede pedir más. Las puntas se afilan muy bien, y a la hora de colorear éstas raramente se rompen. Sí es cierto que hay tonos muy parecidos, pero si te gustan mucho los lápices, vale la pena. El set de 520 viene dentro de una caja de cartón marron, con protecciones blancas en unos lados y dentro de ésta, otra caja azul conteniendo el set de metal. El envío llegó perfecto. Ningún golpe ni abolladura. Os recomiendo la compra de la marca Kalour. Para colorear, hacer degradados y capas funcionan bastante bien y hay diversos sets distintos. Happy colouring!!

Queste matite colorate sono tantissime, ma i pigmenti sono di una qualità accettabili i colori si sovrappongono in maniera omogenea e pulita! Lo consiglio ai disegnatori, intermedi, esperti.
