Great value for money and great pencils, I still have my derwents that I bought in 1988, and I will pass those onto my granddaughter. The best quality pencils for expert colouring and drawing.

Where's the lid for my tin of pencils? I want my lid! I paid for the lid, not just the pencils. Derwent, I hereby boycott you, who I used to like. I'd heard of other people not receiving their lid, and others with it badly dented and the pencils all broken. I think I'm lucky the pencils aren't broken. It is why I am not sending the package back.The pencils are superb, but there are other brands also superb, and they will get my patronage from now on. I am no longer your customer.

big appreciation for amazon offering a set of these with a damaged container/tin for a discount. i wouldn’t have purchased these otherwise – i already own a few sets of artists grade pencils. upon seeing the discount, i figured these would be great as a travel set, since the leads are more durable than prismacolor and i don’t want to carry around a set as expensive as my faber-castell polychromos. the price was right, so here i am. i stuck them in a more easily transportable case.now, every colored pencil type has its own characteristics. these are WAXY. depending on who you are and how you draw/color, this can either be a good or a bad thing. while the leads are hard, they’re still velvety smooth. the pigmentation is great. i can layer and layer with subtle layers, or i can go in hard for intense opaque coverage without concern over the leads breaking. i like that versatility. i feel like these pencils would pair well with dry pastel for mixed media work. good for detail work, with how well they sharpen to and maintain a point.as always, having the lightfastness information available through derwent is very helpful. this is one of the factors that sets these pencils apart from the cheaper stuff.i would not recommend these for beginners. novices, go for a set of prismacolor. they have an easier learning curve. professionals and students, however, will find aspects of these pencils to appreciate. they’re not bad at all – just not for everyone, with their texture.

I really enjoyed working with these pencils. Hard core, it does produce some dust if you're heavy handed with your pencils. Also I wasn't thrilled with the pallet of reds in the 120 count set. Having said that the pencils were a joy to work with.

I saw the reviews that the lead in these pencils was hard, but this is ridiculous. While most will work ok with moderate pressure, there were a few in the set that required pressing so hard that the paper was getting grooved. Sharpening to get past the hard section helped in some cases, but not always. Blending is nigh impossible, with muddy colors resulting when possible at all. There is little build up on the surface to facilitate blending.The finish of the pencils is poor. The wood used must be very open grained or wild grained. There were rough bumps on the surface of many pencils, making them unpleasant to hold over time. Splintering was common when sharpening.On the plus side, the color selections are classic and useful, though tending toward earth tones that led to the mentioned muddiness. Pencils are both numbered and named, making organization and remembering what was used easy. I wanted to like these, rather than resorting to a Chinese product, but... nope.

Pigment olarak oldukça başarılı. Derwent markasının Artists seri kuru boyası yapı olarak biraz sert. Bu nedenle geniş alanların boyanması ve renk geçişli çalışmalar yaparken kullanıcıyı biraz zorluyor. İllustrasyon tasarımında kullanılabilir.

I have the full set of Derwent Coloursofts, but wanted something a little harder as the coloursofts feel more like crayon than pencil. I had purchased 4 Derwent Studios open stock and hated them, they were too hard, dull and just NOT what I was hoping for. (I was feeling a little like Goldilocks) So, I started doing more research on the Artists. I found a great price here so purchased this 12 set. I LOVE them! I wish I had bought the Artists instead of the coloursofts, but they are a bit more pricey. If you are trying to choose, I would go with the Artists first. They are wonderful!

I really like this set of 72 Derwent Artist colored pencils.They have interesting colors I don't have in other sets, one of my favorite new blues in the Prussian blue in this set.I bought a 12 pack just to try them and based on that went ahead and bought the 72 set.Nice chuncky pencil, smooth color laydown...not as rich of a pigment as say a Polychromos...but sometimes you don't want that you want a more subtle color palate.They are a nice addition to my pencil collection that numbers around 15 different sets now...and I'm sure I will be adding more Derwent sets...the Studio and the Colorsoft sest in time.

It is really a shame all the bad reviews these pencils are getting are probably from coloring enthusiasts. I tried using these in my coloring books and they are terrible at fine details, especially the lighter colors. The smooth paper just doesn't compliment these pencils. They work great on larger areas and shading. I am by no means an artist, but I own a mixed media sketch book that has thick coarse paper and like to doodle when the urge strikes. These pencils really are amazing on that paper!! The light colors that were just blah on the coloring book paper really took definition when applied to the coarser paper. The reason for only 4 stars is they are a bit dusty and find myself blowing the dust away as I am drawing or coloring. Also worth noting, these are a thicker barrelled pencil, like the inktense and coloursoft lines this company produces. They are also a very hard lead pencil.

My new pencil set arrived yesterday and I am so delighted. The colors are fabulous and vibrant. I had a set of 72 4mm core from back in the 80's and the colors match these perfectly. I love the 48 new colors and think they are a perfect addition to the set. I do lots of portraits of people and animals and was so happy for the new addition of browns. I wish that Derwent still made their line of Studio Blocks colour sticks (they are like Prismacolors Art Stix), I bought 2 sets back years ago and still have all of the 2nd set, but I would love to have the 48 new colors in Colour Studio Blocks also. Anyway, I am so delighted with my new set and I am looking forward to bringing many animals and people to life in my drawings. And now that I am retired I made need to buy more sets in the future due to the fact that I will have many more hours to indulge in my favorite pass time. I also love that the colors are now written on each pencil. Thank you Derwent.

Ich habe mir bereits den Holzkoffer mit 120 Artists Stiften gekauft und dann noch dieses Set für unterwegs, da der Koffer doch etwas unhandlich ist. Die Qualität ist einfach super. Ich finde man kann sie gut mit den Polychromos von Faber-Castell vergleichen. Die Artists sind etwas dicker und liegen deshalb sehr gut in der Hand. Die Mine ist etwas härter als die der Polychromos, aber das ist perfekt für Zeichnungen mit vielen Details. Mir ist bisher auch keine Mine abgebrochen und ich finde, dass man super mehrere Farbschichten übereinander legen kann. Das einzige, was mir aufgefallen ist, dass die Stifte auf rauem Papier nicht so gut zeichnen. Auf beispielsweise Papier mit 220 g/m und einer raueren Struktur lassen sie sich nur schwer mischen. Als ich sie auf dem Hahnemühle Nostalgiepapier ausprobierte, kamen die Farben viel besser zur Geltung und sie verhalten sich ähnlich wie die Polychromos. Angenehmes Malverhalten und lassen sich einfach vermischen. Das Papier macht eben doch eine Menge aus. Ich bin jedenfalls begeistert von ihnen und kann sie bedenklos weiterempfehlen :)
