Woomer Colored Pencils 72 Colors, Smooth as Cream Core 3.8mm, Open Stock

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. K They 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!

I’m a colored pencil artist and have tried every budget pencil that you can imagine in the last 20 years. I have my favorite professional brand of pencils (FC Polychromos) but tend to “save” them for my important work. For every day art, that I’m not selling, I use budget pencils. I have favorites in wax based and oil based pencils, but up until now, I really hadn’t found a set of budget pencils that really made my heart sing. That is, until the Woomer brand was introduced. I think I have gone through 3or 4 boxes of 72 pencils - that alone says it all! My only complaint is that there are only 72 colors. Well, I’ve ordered the new colors and can hardly wait until they arrive! If you haven’t tried the Woomer brand yet, you are in for a wonderful treat! These pencils are the creamiest, budget pencils on the planet. They are pigment rich; and the colors are intense. Whether you are a colorist or a serious artist, you won’t regret purchasing these pencils. Within a few strokes of these wonderful pencils, you will quickly wonder how you ever lived without them! lol. I adore these pencils. Until the new colors were released, my only complaint was I wanted more colors. I guess I’ll have to think of something else to complain about; lol. Yes these pencils are that wonderful! Y’all have a blessed and very colorful day!

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.)

Very surprised with the quality, and color options these pencils offer. As an avid, very avid colorer with literally every brand you can think of. One of my favorite things is finding new, quality colored pencil brands. 75% of the time the pencils aren't worth even mentioning but these are fantastic. I've uploaded the color palette but it doesn't do the colors justice and the light pinks leave a lot to be desired. Some of the pasteltint colors are opaque, light, and creamy. While others (the light pinks) have a orange or brown tint to them. The colors would be perfect if they had a true, glowy Cream/Ivory, a creamy baby pink, and the colored pencil unicorn, similar to Woomer's Light Magenta but with a pastel purple tint to it (aka Prismacolor retired color Lilac). They are extremely soft, similar to Holbein's pastel colored pencils. They crumble easy, but are very pigmented and color smooth as butter. A little goes a long way. The tin box is cute, I love it came with it's own swatch chart, and bravo on the design and names on the pencils. I definitely recommend these pencils, just keep a putty eraser on hand and mini brush because there will be shavings but they come up clean and color beautifully see via the Kerby Rosanes fox image I colored using the Woomers.

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 pencils stack up to these! AND EVEN OUT PERFORM. For the price you should pick up a set, try them you won't regret this purchase even if you already have too many pencils!!!

UPDATE: the lightfastness results on these were pretty bad after just a few months. I've attached a photo. Great pencils to have fun with but not to display your art anywhere near a window. ..... These pencils are very smooshy similar to prismas. They layer very well. Solvents work great on them. The color range is fantastic. I highly recommend watching the review of them on Lana Gloschat's youtube channel she does the most gorgeous demo with them. I feel bad for liking these more than my polychromos but I'm pretty sure I do. They are very opaque and work well on colored paper as well. I plan on doing my own lightfastness test to see how they perform. Great job Woomer! (See update) My only complaint is that my set arrived missing a brown, #571. I received two #560s. I haven't missed it... but that might be because I have never seen it! Lol. Not really a complaint but the swatch sheet which is handy with all the info is kinda useless to me because the paper won't take the pencil pigment. All in all, I love them! Notes on the photos: The swatches pictured are done on white cotton hot press watercolor paper and canson mi teintes pastel paper. I am a fairly beginner colored pencil artist so my art is just an idea of what a beginner can do. The white paper is smooth bristol which was too smooth for any colored pencil in my opinion. The colored paper and the white flower were done on canson mi teintes.

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.

There are some good things about these pencils but...the leads keep breaking. Maybe it's just the set I got, but I have to review them based on what I received. I watched an unboxing of these on Youtube and saw that the person received them in a poly bag mailer which I thought was just a terrible way to mail and receive colored pencils. So, what did I do? I made sure to purchase these along with other items that I knew would come in a box as opposed to ordering just the pencils. As planned, I received them in a cardboard box and the box itself had no signs of visible of damage at all. The pencils also come inside their own box - another layer of protections. They come in a tin and the tin was in perfect shape. I can't blame the constant breaking of the pencils on shipping. I use a T'gaal sharpener (possibly they don't like hand sharpening). So far, the majority of the pencils I have used have had broken cores. One was broken about an inch down into the pencil. Very annoying. This has made the experience of using these pretty poor. That being said, here are some good things: The presentation is really good and the pencils are very well packaged, and the they have a quality look. the colors are vibrant and there is a pretty good assortment for a 72 set. They are soft and creamy, similar to Prismacolor, but not identical. They sharpen to a very sharp point and hold the point pretty well - no crumbling of the point. They blend easily and layer well. I would go as far as saying that these are my favorite "budget" set that I have owned so far. One of my other favorites is Markart. I mostly use Artist quality professional pencils like Caran D'ache, Faber Castell etc., but I still enjoy having some lesser expensive options. I will always have a soft spot in my heart, and a love for good quality pencils that aren't expensive - after all, these are the types of pencils I began with and have brought me so many years of joy. If not for the breaking cores, I would really love and recommend these pencils.

The pencils color so soft creamy easy to color and mix shades

These Woomer colored pencils are so incredible—I’m still amazed by how good they are! For as long as I’ve used Prismacolor colored pencils, they’ve always felt like crayons to me. Don’t get me wrong, their color layering is excellent, but that crayon-like feeling just doesn’t give me the painting experience I want. That’s why these Woomer pencils have become my new favorite.​ Sure, they can’t be layered infinitely, but I usually only need to layer about 5 times, and that’s more than enough for my work. Whether I’m drawing thin lines or coloring large areas, the feel in my hand is super smooth and enjoyable. Their customer service told me they’re currently selling these at a loss and might raise the price later. That makes me want to stock up on a couple more sets for sure—this price is unbeatable! I’m also really looking forward to their upcoming 90-color set, and I’m so excited about the new 61-color one too.​ Before I placed my order, I hesitated a lot. I saw some reviews saying the pencils break easily when sharpening, and others saying they didn’t meet their expectations. But then I thought, with such a low price, why not just try them out? And I’m so glad I did! When I got the pencils, I was shocked—they break much less often than other colored pencils, whether I’m sharpening them or using them to draw.​ Also, here’s a useful tip: if your colored pencils usually break easily, try using a different sharpener. Some electric sharpeners have vibration frequencies that can easily cause some pencil leads to break—that’s basic common sense! For this price, the hand feel and quality of these pencils are amazing. I’d give them a perfect 100 out of 100 without any hesitation.​ I really don’t understand why some people in the reviews are so hard on such an affordable and high-value set of colored pencils. I truly hope Woomer can keep running their business for a long time. After all, I don’t have a high budget to keep buying Prismacolor. I love painting, but when I use Prismacolor, I sometimes go through several pencils just for one painting, which ends up costing me tens of dollars. These Woomer pencils are exactly what I need to keep pursuing my hobby without spending too much money.​

These pencils lay down a large amount of pigment quickly, and blend nicely. If you love layering and slowly building colour, maybe these are not perfect for you. However, for quick result colouring they rock. Looking forward to the 150 set.

Son excelentes, bien pigmentados, si mina es resistente y gruesa. Solo que si estás acostumbrado a los lápices de colores de cera te costará acostumbraste a estos por qué son de aceite. Pero en una hoja de alto gramaje y lisa son excelentes

Muy buenos
