KALOUR 180 Colored Pencil Set for Adults Artists - Rich Pigment Soft Core -12 Metallic Pencil - Ideal for Coloring Drawing Sketching Shading Blending - Vibrant Color（Tin Case）

She’s tried several Kalour products and found them to be very good quality, so she wanted to try these as well. She said they go down every bit as well as her expensive pencils do, with little effort. The colors are vivid, they go down smoothly and they have a good amount of pigment. There were very few crumbs and no chipping. The metallic pencils have a very good amount of sparkle to them, which didn’t show up as well in the pictures as she was hoping for. The colors blend well and she was pleased with their opacity. There’s a good variety of colors, in the regular pencils as well as in the metallics. The names and numbers are marked clearly on the barrels in silver and they can all be read very easily. She did say that the plastic trays were a bit flimsy, but that was literally the only thing she found less than optimal about the set.They were packaged very securely, shrink-wrapped and placed in a thick plastic bag, then placed in a snug fitting box. The exposed leads were protected with foam sheeting. Every one arrived in perfect condition. She’s planning on color sorting these in with the rest of her soft core pencils. She said that she “really, REALLY likes this set” and that they are “pretty awesome!” She also said she was surprised at how reasonable the price was.

I really like these pencils, the colors are vibrant, the color is stamped into the side so its easy to find the desired color. my only issue is they are pretty soft and the pencil ends up a stub pretty fast. I have no place to buy replacements. but I still like the colors and these pencils are my go to pencils for a lot of projects. I wish there was somewhere to buy the pencils I've used up.

Nice soft useable colored pencil assortment. Hate the metal box for storage so invested in another colored pencil zippered storage bag and that makes them a winner. I’ve bought some before that as soon as you sharpen, the lead breaks! This DOES NOT happen with this brand. Also wish the color chart came already filled in as it was a lot of work doing that. As an elderly person with vision issues, I find the metallic names imprinted difficult to read. But the PENCIL ITSELF IS GREAT! Nice color assortment.

I love this set. The colors are vibrant and the pencils seem to have a soft but not too soft lead so they can be really vibrant to soft pastel. I'm a beginner just messing around and I think this set is great and good enough for more advanced

I was pleasantly surprised with these pencils. They were smooth, not as buttery as Prismacolor colored pencils, but hey there is a reason for the price of those pencils. These I would say are student grade colored pencils, and by student I mean art student, not elementary kid. They are GOOD pencils, they lay color down smoothly and can be blended and they appear vibrant, but look like they lack the pigment that more expensive artist grade colored pencils have. There is a good variety of colors without too much of a similarity between them. My package arrived perfectly without a pencil out of place or even a tip broken. They include a swatch card and you should color that in so you can see what the colors look like on paper because the pencil paint is not going to exactly match. It's great that each pencil is named and has a number so you can look at your swatch card to choose you color and then just grab the matching pencil. I also love the price, an excellent value for what you get!

I’ve bought and repurchased a few times. Only issue is the tips break easily and don’t sharpen that great

I love these pencils! There is a wide variety of color gradations, and excellent quality at a good price. Some have complained about the tips breaking, but I have not had any problem, even though I've already sharpened a few with my electric sharpener. It's nice that there is a color chart, but I found that did not work for me at all - it made no sense to arrange the chart by number instead of by color layers. So, being as neurotic as I am, I created a new color chart from an Excel spreadsheet, listed the colors by layer so I can see the subtle differences, and it works perfectly for me. Highly recommend this set!

I like to draw and color and this helps a lot with all the different colors I can use
