About this deal

The price per pencil is comfortably in the mid-price range. And considering all of the above, this is a very reasonable asking price. We have an exclusive behind the scenes glimpse at this amazing new pencil set, but before we get to that, what do we already know about these mysterious pencils? But as it's one of the features boasted, that they don't break easily, I was disappointed to lose the 2 I did (for reference, dragon light rust and dungeon were the worst offenders although castle and sable has broken a lot too.) That brings down a fair amount of the value for money, if I find other pencils I haven't had chance to use as much are also broken down the barrel. The durability and ease of use of these pencils are also quite nice. They should hold up to typical wear and tear. We didn’t find any glaring issues with using them either in detailed pieces or more broad pieces where spreading large amounts of color is necessary. SAFE&NON-TOXIC- These coloring pencils are Original Wooden Pencils. Made of pollution-free material, which is safe for your health. Color pencils for adult coloring Not only for adults but also for children Color pencils with Bright colors and smooth to use.

The next set is called the Scorpion Edition set. Almost as if they heard our complaint about the first set, the second set focuses more on “earthy” colors. Also available in 24 pencils, the Scorpion set expands on the greens by adding multiple new shades including “Grub Green”, “Irish Green”, and “Olive Green”, to name a few. It also adds to the already relatively large repertoire of yellows from the first set and expands on a few more browns and skin tones. I'm a fine artist with a degree and experience with a wide range of art materials and brands. Avoided colouring pencils because I find them too hard for my arthritic hands, usually. Dabbled with a few brands, but generally too hard for me. I wanted better quality than kids pencils but wasn't up for the price tag of polychromos... so I bought these. Given all that, it's understandable that the price isn't as high as professional brands. If there's just the couple that are broken, I would still say they're good value. They're better than cheap stationary brands, but don't have the lightfast guarantee you get with pricier options. Wether there are better quality pencils out there at this price, I don't know, depends how many others are broken I guess. But those are my two big hang ups. The barrel is hexagonal instead of round. This is a personal preference, but we tend to like hexagonal barrels more than round as they are easier for us to hold.

Available Sets

Now on to durability. These pencils were about average when trying to sharpen. The wax core is relatively hard to it may want to chip when you are sharpening it to a fine point. So if you are someone that likes to have an extremely fine point, we recommend using a manual sharpener that is designed for colored pencils and taking your time while sharpening. The classic Spider set contains a full colour spectrum, while the Scorpion and Cobra editions contain a curated selection of colours for the more experienced colourist.

The performance of these pencils is quite capable for their target audience. The color output is good and the blending between various colors is serviceable as well. We didn’t experience much wax bloom until you start heavily layering. The pencils are not water-soluble but you can use water to soften the pencil strokes. They do not blend though like true watercolor pencils My company Medihealth 1 was predominantly set up to sell feminine personal care products. You might well ask, “How did a healthcare company get involved with coloured pencils?” it may work out cheaper (depending on sales and specials) to buy a complete set of another brand rather than by set by set The wax that is used is of nice quality. When you push the pencil down, the application is quite smooth. We didn’t experience any of the “chunks” that you may have in some of the lower-end pencils on the market. That being said, this isn’t the buttery feel you will see with premium wax pencils or many of the oil pencils on the market.

We couldn’t find any information related to lightfastness. Some long-term testing would need to be conducted to get a better idea of this. The color that we saw seemed to be pretty intense and we wouldn’t be surprised if it lasted for many years but until testing was performed, we wouldn’t be able to guarantee that with absolute certainty. Usability and Durability – 4/5 The Skin range features a set of Light Skin and Dark Skin pencils to give you a limitless range of skin tone options. depending on what you like to color, you may find that the pencils do not offer the variety of colors in the tones that you prefer when compared to artist brands Delivery was fast and for all that, the price is excellent and far cheaper than professional brands. After umpteen attempts at creating the color wheel and sorting the colors to my liking, I finally found a prototype of the color wheel that I was satisfied with.
