Waste of money. Frustrating.
Most were broken inside, so impossible to sharpen. Will not buy again.

On the pricey side but worth it if your A artist a
High quality quality artiest grade set that is best suited for teens and adults who enjoy drawing seriously. Bright rich pigments, great for shading, soft tips can break easily if used roughly. Packaging is durable for the most part if your a fanatic at heart about drawing the price is good for what you get but their is cheaper.

They are overall great colored pencils!
I absolutely love these pencils! Very nice quality. The way they're assorted is a nice appearance. They sharpen really nicely. They don't break easy like the cheap colored pencils for kids. I love these and use them to draw on my canvases.

The best out there. Period.
Hands down the best colored pencils on the market. I used them as a teenager and now by them for my teen daughter. Wouldn’t buy any other brand. The way they shade and blend is second to none.

I like the colors
I really like how the color shows up on paper unlike other brands. The flow of the pencil is smooth and the pigment is very colorful. The pencil also lasts me very long and they don't break easily.

Top 1 pencils from artist to toddlers
I love this set. It has all the rich, creamy colors you could ever want in one place. Whether I’m blending soft gradients or layering bold, vibrant shades, these pencils always feel smooth and buttery on the page. The pigments are super rich, so even a light touch gives great color payoff.

Beautiful color range & durable
These are my favorite colored pencils I have ever used. The color range, ease of use and blendability are top of mind. They are easy to layer and build on color as well. I’ve used these for years and still have them!

Worth investing in such wide collections
Color shades are vibrant and blend beautifully. Making the ideal grading, shading and detail artwork. Smooth performance, bold colors and premium color experience worth the investment.

Good to gift someone who likes/loves drawing
Prismacolors are the "performance cars" of the art world—they are capable of stunning results and offer a tactile experience that is second to none, but they require a bit of maintenance and a gentle hand. They are arguably the best choice for anyone focused on realism, portraiture, or bold illustrations.

Amazing
These pencils are perfect for any artist. I’m an art teacher and I use these in my classroom and for my personal work. This pack has a great variety of extremely high quality pencils. I would recommend getting a separate case to store them however for the sake of convenience.

Buttery smooth payout
Favorite colored pencils, I use these constantly. Blends like a dream, very pigmented and great variety of shades. The lead is soft so they are prone to break easily if you’re not careful with them. But ! They are easy to melt and fix if that happens luckily.
