ARTEZAColored Pencils, 48 Soft Color Pencils, Highly-Pigmented, Wax-Based Coloring Pencils for Artists, and Beginners

I got my color pencils today and the first impression that I got from them when I open then was that the colors were very vibrant I like the way that they are sharpened. They have a triangular shape and he feels comfortable when I hold them in my hand however when I lay them on my bed to count them because I felt as they were not 48 pencils. They were all there none missing, anyways when I started counting them there were two or three pencils the had weird looking piece of something dry stuck to them I'm not sure what it is I cannot even describe it but I got the impression as if whoever put them on the little tube didn't have their hands clean or maybe these were used not sure.However when it comes to the quality I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they are so creamy and rich and you don't have to press down hard to come up with a nice layer of color they blend very well. The black is very pigmented the white is not as pigmented as prismacolor but hey these pencils are worth the money, I would definitely recommend this pencils to anyone that is starting to draw and color or Someone that loves to color using coloring books. I draw and color as my hobby and I'm planning on doing a YouTube channel and I will definitely be buying Arteza in the future.Please don't send me dirty pencils 👍❤️.

Beautiful pencils in a good variety of colors. Very rich and smooth.

Beautiful colors and easy to use on the pattern.

Pencils are lightweight and colors are nice. I was hoping it to be a bit more pigmented. I am using this to practice blending and do have to go back and forth quite a bit to get some bold and intense colors. The pencils are soft and have not broken on me - which I do appreciate.

I am new to adult coloring. I am not an artist, just color for stress relief. I originally bought the budget pencils from Shuttle art. The set had 174 colors. I used those for awhile. Then I started running out of frequently used colors. (Sky blue, ocean blue, red) Shuttle art doesn have open stock. None of the common budget brands have open stock. I looked up Prismacolors and they were way out of my budget! This brand is for "serious artists." I looked up Arteza and they had open stock. In all the colors I needed. I bought a few pencils, (which have 3 in a pack!!) And fell in love with them. They were soooo much better than shuttle art! They blended a lot better and sharpened better . The colors are much more vibrant than other budget brands. Also Arteza didn't leave "pencil shavings" and the points didn't break as easily as Shuttle art. In my opinion, Arteza is perfect for adult coloring. Both the watercolors and regular pencils are amazing. I bought the 48 set for both. I will buy the 120 sets when these run out.

Quite comparable to that other brand! Smooth on the page, the right weight, all good!

These are THE pencils. I'm a hobbyist artist. I bought them for $15 and I'm so happy I did, as I've gotten endless use out of them. They're butter soft, layer well, and are WAY more pigmented and blendable than the Amazon brand colored pencils I bought in the tin. I've already almost worn some of these out and it hasn't even been a year, but I color a lot and sharpen constantly. They don't take too much work to layer and burnish, and look especially lovely over alcohol markers. It's a good range of color and they aren't waxy at all, even after many layers. I feel like this is as close as it gets to budget Prismacolor, but without the fragility. Buy them. Worth a shot.

They're a great colored pencil if you want something better than the brands you can normally find at supermarkets, but they're not as cost prohibitive as other brands. They're smoother than the cheapies, and have lovely colors. They sharpen easier too. And the lead breaks less than other brands
