Faber-Castell Art & Graphic Polychromos Colour Pencil, (199), Black, for Art, Craft, Drawing, Sketching, Home, School, University, Colouring

Alright, let's talk about the Faber-Castell Art & Graphic Polychromos Colour Pencils. If you're looking for a serious upgrade in your art supplies, these are definitely worth considering. Being oil-based, they lay down incredibly smoothly, which makes blending and layering a really satisfying experience without that waxy buildup.The pigments are rich and vibrant, so your colours really pop on the page. They hold a sharp point well, which is great for detail work, and the leads feel pretty durable, not prone to snapping easily. While they might be a bit of an investment, the quality in application and colour payoff is consistently high. They're a solid choice for anyone wanting professional-grade performance from their coloured pencils.

I've been using this brand for a long time, and I'm really glad I can finally get my hands on single pencils. The pencils are pricey, so if you are like me and like keeping your pencils sharp when using, you might go through them quicker than expected.The colour is really good for doing base sketches to go over again with graphite, but also make for lovely drawings alone. I mostly just use these to draw up sketches, as the material is soft and I need to sharpen it often to get the level of detail I want. I'm pleased to say that I haven't had any material snap off while sharpening, too. You can't really go wrong with this brand. The only real downside is the price, but I think if you are an artist its probably the type of thing you've come to expect.

Excellent pencil, wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

The ease of lay down on the paper, this did its job but I feel it isn’t as good if you wanted to do a black dog for instance as it requires too much pressure and you wouldn’t get the required amount of layers down without it damaging the tooth of the paper. It’s okay for certain aspects

Excellent quality

Perfect

Soft and creamy pencil. Lays down colour very well. Wish I could by the full range but way too pricey

Pencil was loose, no bubble wrap or protective packaging, hope lead is not broken. These pencils are expensive, you would expect Amazon to protect them when they are posting them.
