Derwent Color Pencils hold their point and resist the tendency to crumble. Consequently, full color strength is quickly achieved and details are more readily realized. The relative dryness of Derwent Color Pencils enhances their blendability. The wood casing is in matte black with color-coded dipped ends, carefully matched to the actual strip of lead. The hexagonal wood casing makes for greater handling ease. Non-toxic.

I'am retired and decided to take up pencil drawing. I had some older color pencils but I decided to purshase the 72 Derwent color pencils. I find these pencils the best of all I tried. And they are easily sharpened to a point.

I purchased this set along with a theme coloring book for my 24 yr old daughter for Christmas. These pencils are beautifully packaged in a tin, and give a good range for a mature "colorer" who can add in shading and extra details to a black line drawing.

Derwent pencils are the very best, I've used them for many years and have never been disappointed.

Rated by: Larry H. in Minneapolis,, MN

These are terrific pencils. I've used them in my work for a number of years. Great for detail work and for drawing too. This company makes good, quality stuff.

I have used Dewent studio pencils for over 10 years. They are by far the best made ever! Their colors stay true for years, both in pencil form and on paper. They are hard yet easily blended. The color layers easily on any type of paper. They also blend well with "Verithin" colors as well. Hands down, my all time favorite colors to use!

I have many brands of colored pencils that are good for many different things, such as Bruynzeel and Prismacolor. Now I own a set of the Derwent studios and really love their qualities! The hexigonal shape I like better than their "Artist" series. And also the subtle quality of hue ability in shading I use these pencils when I want detail such as a portrait or even landscapes. They have just the right hardness. I just wish they would include more than one white pencil in these sets!

Ditto what the first reviewer said, and i also LOVE that the pencils are layed (laid?) out flat in their box...makes it very easy to find the color you want (unlike Prismacolor where a pencil,over time, becomes short and becomes hard to find in its box.)

By far the best colored pencils money can buy. The colors blend beautifully, and the pencils hold a point better than any other I have tried yet still glide smoothly onto the page. Highly recommended.
