Review: Serious Pencils for the Professional. - Absolutely love these Pencils,l have bought several makes of Coloured pencil in the last year or so and the quality can be very uneven,not so with Faber Castell. The quality of these well established German Pencils is amazing. The colour,brightness,brilliance,texture and comfort of use is astounding,a beautiful pencil that does not come cheap but the result is worth it,not once did l find a "breaker" ( you have a broken lead,you sharpen and it breaks again and again until the pencil disappears! ) l found this often with the cheaper made pencils but with Faber...Never. A Superior pencil that comes in a gorgeous green box case and is a real pleasure to draw with, 5 stars.
Review: Beautiful pencils. Lovely quality item. - I've not used coloured pencils for many years so I'm no expert but I think I can recognise a quality item. They are very well made and finished, lovely to use and sharpen well. I bought the Faber Castell snap open triple sharpener which works perfectly with them. They sharpen to a good point and colour lays down well. I like that I can add to my set by buying single colours so that was a consideration when choosing this set. Really pleased with them. I suppose one thing that I do notice about them is that they have quite a strong pencil smell which is nostalgic but so strong. If you're sensitive to smells as I am, you might not like it. I'm hoping it will wear off with use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between these and their colored pencil sets that cost less?**
A: Here is why I use Polycromos colored pencils.  They are more vibrant.  This lady really breaks it down so go to her website.  Heatherfranzen.tumblr.com/72042398051/Fabre-castell- polychromos-vs-prismacolor-colored

**Q: What is the difference between the set that comes in a tin case and this one? Is it only the case or is there a difference in quality?**
A: The studio set has 2 different colors from the regular 36ct tin set.  And all the color pencils from the studio are rated *** color fast.  Hence the price difference between these two sets.

**Q: What colors are included?**
A: All colors are included from white , black reds, oranges ,blues, purples, yellows, and greens. Beautiful and intense they also sharpen well without the leads breaking..very nice product.

**Q: What's the material of the box?**
A: Scott VanDeman's response is right on the money.  He, more or less, nailed the description of the box.  I love these pencils and the box is a high quality construction (whatever the material).  The flip top flat that covers the pencils is a plus.  Well worth the money!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great pencil for both novices and professionals
*by L***U on 9 February 2016*

I bought these a few months ago as a present to myself. I have always enjoyed colouring in, and the new wave of colouring books for adults has bought back a passion in me. I was really uncertain due to the price, but with some research felt these pencils would be the best for me. I tend to colour in hard, and like a fine point on my pencil for most colouring. These hold up brilliantly, and although I get the occasional breakage on a point, they are generally long lasting. No real issue with different sharpeners so far. The gift box these come in is great. I can quickly pack the pencils away when I am finished colouring and the magnetic latch stops any accidental spills. I accidentally spilled some acetone on the box whilst doing my nails, and although I lost some green colouring off the faux leather, the box still works and it protected the pencils. As some of the pencils shorten, I imagine it may become more difficult to get certain pencils out. The pencils themselves are wonderful. They don't smudge whilst colouring, and blend brilliantly. If you are a novice like myself to artist quality pencils, these are a great start.
