Woomer Premium 72 Colored Pencils, 3.8mm Artists Soft Core, Superior Color Rendering Pencil with Metal Protective Case, Break-Resistant Color Pencils for Adults Coloring Books, Sketch Beginner Pro

Very good for the price point (when on sale or with a discount offered).Pigment excellent, very soft leads, similar to Prisma, not quite as crumbly though.No issues with sharpening them.Test was done on a standard coloring book page, since that is where most folks are using colored pencils these days. Considering the terrible quality of coloring book paper in most books out there, this test one included, the pencils performed amazingly well. Everything was done with only the colored pencils, except for the white spots on the feathers, which are white gel pen. I did test the use of three blending pencils (prisma, lyra and polycolor) as well as colorless blender alcohol marker - all worked very well with these pencils.On quality artist paper, these pencils are exquisite. I just swatch tested them, but performance was so good, I will be using these for sketching and artwork that is not going to be left out in the light. I doubt they are very lightfast, but that doesn't matter if you are doing art in sketch books or placing your finished pieces into a storage portfolio.Bottom line- the full cost without discount or sale is a little steep, but if you can snatch them up on sale, go for it. They are very nice and I ordered several sets at different times as sales came up since I do like them that much.

These feel great to use, extremely close to Prismacolor pencils, very creamy, blends easily, vibrant colors. Beautiful color selection, I had a smile on my face while swatching. I almost took a star off because of the gold lettering, I had to use a headlamp magnifier to read the color names. I wish manufacturers would stop this practice, yes the gold looks pretty, but we like to be able to read the information on the pencil most of all. But, the quality of the pencils made me still give 5 stars. There is a rating system for lightfastness, but they don't state what system is used, so if that's important to you, be aware. They are rated up to 5 stars, and none of the colors are below a 3, even the pinks. Hmmmm. KThey sharpen easily in an electric sharpener, no splintering or point breakage. These pencils are a joy to use. The tin case is sturdy enough, the inner trays are flimsy. I find it easier to use when my pencils are in a case, more convenient. I hope they come out with bigger sets in a pencil case, not a tin, I would buy them immediately. I highly recommend trying these. Worth every penny!Been using these pencils for a couple of weeks now, love them more every day, hardly use my Prismas unless I need a certain color. I see that they went down a little in the price, plus a coupon, so I'm ordering another set today to make sure have enough. I wish they would come out with a bigger set, or have the option of no tin, I always use a pencil case. They must have figured out the Prisma formula, I can't get over how these seem identical. So creamy and easy to blend! Again, I highly recommend!

Best budget pencils I have tried. Vivid colors, soft like prismacolors, blends well especially using kalour colorless blender.Comes in metal case with a color swatch chart. Each pencil is numbered, color named with a lightfast rating. Sharpens to a fine point with a hand held sharpener. While not a professional grade colored pencil, it's close. Great set for a beginning or experienced artist

Great quality, yet on the budget. Pencils really feel very close to Prismacolor: vibrant colors, soft, easily blending, thicker pencil core. No problems with sharpening and breakage. The pencils keep the sharp point relatively long, Hopefully the manufacturer will expand the set size (perhaps a few skin tones would be great). There is not enough info regarding lightfastness. The inner plastic trays are flimsy and need improvement.

This is a very good budget pencil. When I purchased my set less than a year ago, I paid $24.99. A little more than the other budget pencils on the market. I received the pencils and was impressed with the quality. They were smooth, creamy, well pigmented and AFFORDABLE. Today, this same set is priced at $38.99. This is a big increase for a budget pencil and may place it out of reach for some potential budget buyers. My hope is Woomer will evaluate their pricing of these pencils and identify with the clientele who purchase them and place the pencils back into a price range for budget shoppers. It's awesome to find a budget pencil that is a good and affordable.

These are firm and hold their point like a mostly oil-based pencil, but they put down a lot of color very quickly (even with very little pressure) like a mostly-wax based pencil. They slide across the paper very easily; no drag or scratchiness. (And they actually are light fast. It's not just talk.)The only issue I had (and I seem to be the only one who has encountered this so far) is that about 25 of the pencils had either somewhat or badly off-centered leads. It was the most consistent in the blues and purples, but the problem was all through the set. Perhaps I just got a bad batch.Other than than, yes, I would buy them again. Not only that, I would love to see this in a larger set and sold as open stock. (Each pencils has it's own bar code, so perhaps that's a possibility in the future.)
