Almost perfect
These replaced the PRANG 6mm core years ago. Losing a little lead thickness was unfortunate but the trade off was better colors. When the 5.5mm core was introduced, there was a 24 color set available but it was discontinued after a while. I miss the 24 set but if it can't be re-released, perhaps PRANG would consider ditching the gold and silver colored pencils (useless)...

Disappointed in the 72 set
While I like the way your pencils perform I was disappointed in the 72 set that they did not have the colors written on the pencils like the smaller sets. I can't make a color chart. I wanted to contact the company and found no info to do so.

Prang so smooth
I love these pencils! I bought some individual pencils years ago and I really liked them. I would love to find some individual colors now. They are very smooth and I love coloring with them.

Great quality!
We use these all throughout our Primary school in Canada with over 100 students. They work exceptionaly well, the color is vibrant, they are easy to sharpen and the thick lead doesn't break. The students have an easy grip thanks to the soft triangular shape. Good product.

Exceptional!
Exemplary pencil crayons! The triangle shape assists students that are developing their fine motor skills and correct tripod pencil grasp. I was worried the colours would not be vibrant, but they are fantastic! Good saturation of colour on the page with moderate pressure. I would highly recommend...and no, I did not receive any endorsement for this review. Just pleasant...

Surprisingly good results
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I buy pencils like this to burn through. For artist quality, I need the top notch expensive ones, but I can’t use those all the time. My usual go to is crayola because of their ability to burnish. These pencils surprised me a lot because I could burnish with them! They didn’t take as well to solvent, but they did the j...

Always I Return
This is an adults perspective. My mother bought me a set at least 15-20 yrs ago. It has sketch pencils included. A very nice hard case that can expand to stand up on its own. About 110 pieces all together. I was 100% that kid who wouldn't allow anyone to use my art supplies. Even through high school I had a pouch of pencils and pens specifically to lend out. Because I d...

Excellent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great set of pencils for beginners. These seem to be very durable and excellent quality. The colors seem good though the red is more of a light almost pink color VS a bright vibrant red. Overall we like this and I would definitely recommend these. We have used these in the coloring books and on paper and in s...

Neat pencils
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They’re actually pretty neat. I love the way they work.
It allows you to draw with them with precision (not easy with regular water colors) and then water them down for the water color look. The outcome is very nice and consistent.
