The Colore 26 piece
Drawing Pencils Set is a nice set. Now, I have to say right off that
this is NOT a colored pencil set. I only say that because when I
ordered it, I thought it was a colored pencil set. I know, I need to
read better. May be it is my chemo brain. I just thought I would put
that here in case anyone else is not reading it right like I did.
Now, with that being said I will review this the best I can without
knowing too much about how these are used.
The pencils are of
different hardness. What I found in my experimenting is that the
harder the lead, the lighter it drew; and the softer the lead, the
darker it drew. The pencils are marked with the hardness. The
higher the “H” number the harder it is and the higher the “B”
number the darker it will draw. Now, to be honest I never knew that
there were different hardnesses except that when we took the
standardized tests at school we needed a number 2 pencil.
There are also 3 charcoal
and 3 graphite sticks. They are of different hardnesses. These made
some of the filling in and shading easier.
There are also erasers and
sharpeners for each kind of pencil, graphite and charcoal. They
worked well. One of the erasers is a putty and it worked well for
tiny erasers.
As I experimented with
these, the lead never broke. I would say that they are of really
good quality and will last a long time. The softer leads needed to
be sharpened more often but I think that is because they just use
more of the lead.
I would conclude that
these are very high quality. If you are an avid drawer, these would
be great for you.
I received this product at
a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
