At first, I was afraid I would have a difficult time using these pencils, since coloring a drawing with pencils is not the easiest thing. Indeed, you can’t layer colors as many times as with pastel for instance. Or neither with as much freedom as you can only overlay a dark color on top of a darker one, but the reverse is not possible (except to blend or fade the colors together).

However, these pencils immediately hooked me. First, their grip is very pleasant; they glide in hand, not to mention their aesthetic aspect (even if it’s not the most important thing). I really like their feel on the paper, quite soft and very smooth. You can sense that the pencils are of good quality.

In my opinion, the colors blend rather well together, the result is great. You can see it on the drawing of this zebra that I made, a few hours after my purchase. The whole process really showed me how comfortable they are to handle and use! I really appreciate the depth effect on the nose in particular.

Moreover, the white colored pencil allowed me to blend the colors together when I wanted to, which gave me a really realistic and deep outcome, although there is always room for improvement, of course! It shows quite well on the drawing of my cat that I made as a gift for my father, particularly in the nose and the eyes.
