Faber-Castell Colored Pencils, Supersoft EcoPencil, 1207100SOFT, 100 Colors

I bought this set back in April 2022. I swatched the set out and am impressed by the smooth feeling of the pencils, fairly hard leads, and glorious colors. They feel similar to an oil based pencil to me. I have every big name brand made from Holbeins to Caran d'Ache to Tombow Irojiten and more bit many of the rich blues, purples, and greens I found in this set I haven't seen in other makers.I have been trying to buy another box since April but they sell out with a day of listing. So, I feel lucky tonight during browsing to find them listed . and bought them even though shipping isn't until mid December 2022.Worth every penny for beautiful colors and smooth laydown. Very pleased!

I came across these while looking for something else and purchased them as I am a fan of Faber Castell.The pencils come in a cardboard box that has an outer sleeve over it. The box opens like a book and has 4 sections of pencils with a spot marked for each pencil by number, nifty for organizing.The pencils are a black lightweight wood with a lacquer finish and the ends indicate the color and there is a number stamped on them but no names.These are a budget line of pencils but they are surprisingly nice. The set has both neon and pastel colors as well as standard colors. The core is durable and firm but not hard. The colors are vibrant and lay down easily. These layer ok, you can get a few layers down at least and are a better quality than their other Eco pencils and are great for coloring.

I own many sets of pencils, and nearly all of the professional sets that cost 3x as much and are lightfast. I am a multi-media colorist. But I honestly have to say that these are one of the best entry level pencils I have ever bought. They are hands down better than ANY other budget set and rival Prisma. My ONLY complaint is they are not more widely available and I wish they had names on the pencils (though the set of 100 DOES have numbers and that is good). PLEASE produce more of these pencils for the world. Keep them affordable for your people in Brazil, but I am more than willing to buy these at a competitive price with Prisma, they are so much better. Please maintain the quality and sustainability. This is am impressive pencil!

these are very nice pencils. Vibrant and soft cored lead. Easy to use.

Loved them worth every penny

I bought these when they were once again available (at $100) because I had heard a lot of hype for them. DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE. These are BUDGET pencils, they behave as BUDGET pencils. They are not worth $100. You can get other budget pencils that are just as good for a lot less.

So I order this because I have the black edition but the us version only has 50. This set is 100 but they are very dry. Many of colors leave a film when you burnish in order to get a better pigment pay off. I expect a creamier pencil since is supposed to color on black paper but a lot of the color barely show up un the black paper. Not as opaque. For almost $90 I expected better quality from Faber CastellDon’t recommend to buy them.
