Questions & Answers
There is no comparison in price between the two pencils, and the pencils are a little better in some aspects. It's because castle pencils hold their points better, so they are a little bit more firm, but they still lay perfectly. One of the pencils from the 120 set of Castle had a broken tip (002) and one core broke when it was sharpened. Blender pens and blender pencils from Prismacolor work beautifully with castle pencils. One of the nice things about Castle is that you can return it if you are not satisfied. Please notify them of this and they will refund your money and let you keep your My decision to buy Castle was driven in part by this guarantee. Prismacolor colored pencils come in the 150 set, which I own and love. They break very easily when sharpened, so I use the sand paper board almost all the time to get a nice point and to cut down the length of the With the Prisma, after a nice point is achieved, the very tip will crumble but so far, the Castle is not effected. I think the core of the castle is harder than the rest. In both cases, there are advantages, though Castle is much cheaper.
I agree with you 100%! The trays in the tin are so thin they are flimsy that I bought a case
You can purchase them in various sizes, such as 9-inch-x-12-inch with 24 pages and 48 views (93130) that is a great example.
Sadly, there is no blender included in the package.

There is a can. Since I own so many brands, I've had to buy a case for each. The set I purchased already had these, but came with a name on it and with only one zipper on the case, I am a fan of it. Since I'm now more aware of the colors I was not before, I use them more often. In addition, these pencils are great for cheaper papers since they'll color just about any quality paper where other pencils will not. I love them for details on small line art in coloring books because they sharpen nicely, hold a point well, and don't dull if you don't press them down too hard. The colors blend well together If you want a more intense color, you should use lots of pigment, whereas if you want a softer pastel color, you should use a feather touch. You can also use them to smooth out Prismacolor. Their compatibility with Polychromos is very good. You have chosen some nice colors. I love how the blues and greens contrast so well. It's also nice to see the purple progress to violet and then to lavender. You can tell I'm happy, can't you? As far as I am concerned, this is the best budget wax pencil on the market. While I have only one set of Holbein Artist pencils, I find I love coloring with these as well and find that they help protect my Holbein pencils from wear and tear. Please accept this as a helpful reply.
It is true that I own Berol Primsacolors, have had them since the mid 70s, and still use them. I find these to be comparable and even You can blend them easily, and you will get a much smoother coverage than with Besides layering well, these speakers are also very loud. Considering the case makes it so easy for choosing the right color, you simply flip the holding page to the desired range, and the pencils are held together with an elastic band, eliminating movement or the possibility of the inner cores breaking and fracturing like those found in traditional pencil boxes. The only negative aspect would be that they do not include any metallic colors like gold or silver. I am extremely happy with the purchase. I even bought a set for my adult daughter who is also an artist. The colors I have in my primsacolors don't matter since I have them in my favorites. This product would be recommended to anyone who wants a set of pencils with a variety of colors at a cheaper price, but cannot afford the higher priced ones.
There's nothing I love more than Added to a layer or blended, they have a creamy look and feel. It allows me to create a deeper level of detail. It is soft core and they have that feel, but they are also really well defined. In addition, they don't need to be sharpened every few strokes, so it's a huge advantage for me. A case as well! The numbered pencils are housed in a case that I love. There are so many colors I love. It also has a handy color guide, which comes in handy when I need specific information. Due to the courseness or porousness of the 184# vellum I am using, I cannot speak to more coarse They are on par with my Prismacolor, which I love. However, I think they are superior.
Most of them are nature scenes that I use for adult coloring books. So far, I have only colored one page with these pencils so once I have completed my first page, maybe I will add another one. In the past, I bought a few Prismacolor pencils, which I liked, but I did not want to spend so much on a set of good quality pencils that had a wide range of colors. My experience with the set has been very positive. There is a lot of vibrance in the colors. It's smooth to layer and blend them As far as the pencils themselves go, they are well-made My knives are well-made and I've never had any breakage since I sharpened It's easy to sort them because the bottoms match the pencil colors very well. I'm happy with the variety of greens and it's good to see a number of tans and browns for the tree leaves and grass. There are only a few colors that seem to be short in supply, which is red and light pastels, so I'll need to add some other color My observation is that most of the sets, at least those I've seen, do not have a lot of pale tones. It's a great product, and I love using it. In fact, I even purchased a second set so I won't run out too fast.
As for the case, it's nice, but I have little need for it since I intend to use the colors only. The pencils are too difficult to replace into the individual elastic straps as they are in use, so I've tied them together with rubber bands according to color groups and placed them in a round plastic tub to keep them upright, along with a cup for the pencil group I am It appears I have accumulated quite a few stray pens and mechanical pencils over the years, so I will use the first case to store Until I need to replace every pencil in my "working set" as it gets used up, the other case will be fine for holding my second set of pencils.
The only reason I bought this set was the great price. I had no previous experience with colored pencils. I've been experimenting with these for four months now and learned that artist-grade oil-based paints tend to have a more refined finish Colour pencils with a wax base vs. ones without These pencils are based on graphite. There are wax figures in this set from Castle Art As a result. White or pale yellow colors may be used for burnishing, which goes on top of multiple layers of color and really brings out the colors and makes them look both vibrant and almost photorealistic. Keeping it real. I like the pencils very much because they're well made Even though the paint was a bit on the light side and flew out of my hands occasionally, I have no complaints since the pigments and color combination far exceeded It's still worth the extra money even at a high price. If you're planning to get the big set, I recommend the zip-style version. Replace the tin-can with the up package The metal box has pencils with names/numbers, so it makes it easy to organize. However, it would be nice if there were more blacks and Prussian blues such as there are not enough of them.
