Faber-CastellBlack Edition Colour Pencils, Cardboard Wallet of 100

I love the colour you get from these pencils, blending is pretty much effortless. The Age range I would put them to are 15 years of age and up. Definitely value for money because Faber Castell’s pencils are expensive if you choice oils. The versatility makes them my number one choice. I’ve had some brilliant results using them

I already had the 36 set of these pencils, but when I saw the 100 set was out and HAD NUMBERS on them I decided to try them and I am so glad I did. I love everything about them. Soft, well pigmented and blending is effortless. It was so easy to sort them into blending tones in each colour. Ample greys for my needs (3 blending tones of both warm and cold greys), 6 pastel colours and 6 neon. You will need different storage cos the box provided is not really fit for purpose, but the pencils themselves are great. Sharpen well and no breakages. A really good buy.

I ordered these because of a you tube demo and the fact they are Faber Castel. Initially it’s almost impossible to open the packaging without testing the case. Once opened it’s hard to close securely again. The idea of having a case where all the pens are upright on four corners of a square is revolutionary but due to flimsy cardboard just doesn’t work. Also the pencils are not in any sort of order which took an age to sort. These are all negatives but the actual pencils are very good. They blend well, they burnish well, they lay down good strong colour. They don’t break easily and the colours are great. They are very cheap considering they are Faber Castell and comparable to expensive ones of the same brand. With the money you save just buy yourself a decent pencil tin. NB. These were on sale (presumablythrough several sellers) as there were different prices quoted which were quite a bit more for the same number of pencils.

Arrived well packed but in a paper bag , would have been better boxed , pencils I have only used once as yet but no broken ones and sharpened well ( the ones I have used) they are a bit like the Black Widow pencils but you get 100 pencils for your money so very good value ..mixture of colours .. The box stands up and is very good for seeing what colours you wish to use ( very good idea)Downfall is that Pencils are numbered but not colour named , for a budget pencil I would say good value for money and I have many different pencils to compare them with from expensive to budget so one of the better budget ones in my opinion.

Quality pencils that are a creamy texture and nice to use. No need to press hard to get them to look good. No snapping off or led dropping out. These pencils are noticeably different to main stream run of the mill ones. A little bit of luxury!

Good quality well worth buying the range of colours are amazing

Really nice pencils, both in quality and colour palette. As mentioned before, I would be careful when opening the container as it isn't the best in sturdiness. I would have preferred to pay a little bit more for a tin. They also sharpen OK, so definitely recommend.

I am using these as a foundation for my polychromos pencils and it works very well
