Love colouring with these, great colour range in the tin, pleasure to work with, I'm only learning and have managed, I colour first then blend with a cotton bud. I use a separate electric sharpener just for pastel pencils or a knife to sharpen .

Me gustó mucho este material, el pastel es ligeramente duro comparado con otras marcas pero creo que eso le ayuda para estar en lápiz. Los colores mezclan bien entre sí y son de colores vibrantes lo que permite hacer pintura con un buen grado de iluminación o combinarlos para bajar la intensidad del color. Muy versátiles.

Ce sont de très bons crayons pastels qui complètent à merveille les carbothellos et les pitt pastels. Il y a une large gamme de couleurs dans la boîte de 72. Ils sont épais et agréables à tenir. Il y a des couleurs que je ne trouve pas ailleurs (le pale spectrum blue, le dioxazine purple, le violet oxide et le forrest green que j'adore). J'aime assez la façon de numéroter les crayons, et le fait que la couleur soit écrite sur le crayon, on s'y retrouve bien. Ils ne sont pas trop poudreux.Ils se fondent bien. Je peux les tailler très pointus avec mon aiguiseur à manivelle. La boîte n'est pas super en revanche mais je ne m'en sers pas je mets tous mes crayons ensemble dans des boîtes par gamme de couleurs. Mais ça peut déranger ceux qui l'utilisent, les supports en plastique à l'intérieur sont trop mous et le couvercle n'est pas rattaché à la boîte.Mes proches disent que j'ai trop de crayons... ceux ci (comme les autres cités plus haut) ne sont vraiment pas en trop ! J'ai également 20 caran d'ache (j'adorerais avoir la collection mais...) , et le père Noël va m'apporter des gioconda pour des couleurs plus pétantes! Ils sont tous différents les crayons ;-)Cependant !!!! Amazon est nul avec les crayons pastels. Ils sont arrivés dans une simple boîte en carton (celle d'origine de derwent) tres fine et un emballage en plastique très fin!!! Incroyable!!! d'habitude le moindre colis est dans une enveloppe carton ou dans un carton. Il m'est même arrivé de recevoir des minis trucs pas fragiles dans de grands cartons disproportionnés mais bourrés de papier dedans! Là rien!!! Protection nulle. Pas de dommages apparents mais j'étais choquée par le manque de soin apporté à un produit si fragile. Ça c'est assez honteux et triste pour ceux qui comme moi adorent les crayons.

The Pastel Pencils just require a very light amount of strength for the color to show up. The variety of colors is great and it's very worth the price.

Muy buen regalo. Llego en buen tiempo y en buen estado.

Excelente vendedor y producto. Llegó súper rápido. La caja súper bien protegida y sellada. Los colores están de excelente calidad!!! Los recomiendo mucho.

El paquete llegó súper rápido. Los lápices tienen buena pigmentación aunque son más polvosos de lo esperado.

Lo recomiendo mucho

Todo llego como en la publicación. Muy bonito.

Excelentes lápices, aunque algunos se sienten como duros

I’ve had some mixed results using Derwent’s many artists products. Although I have not been too enamored with their Coloursoft, Studio, and Artists coloured pencils (the latter did take me a while to get accustomed to and I eventually ended up really liking them) I am absolutely in love with their Drawing coloured pencils, and enjoying their Graphitint, and Tinted Charcoal pencils. Now that I have used these Derwent pastel pencils, I gotta say, I am loving these as well. These are excellent for colouring, sketches, and fine art. They have an excellent, heavily pigmented lay-down, with rich colour saturation. This medium is fun to work with – the colours blend like a dream, making it easy to spread lots of colour across a broad background. The barrels are thick and are pretty robust. I find them thicker than the Stabilo Carbothello and the General’s pastel pencils, and the 4mm core easily allows for lots of pigment when applying colours, and the colours are beautiful, vibrant and layer and spread effortlessly. Their performance ranks high when compared to the General’s and Stabilo pencils, although the latter products may be easier to sharpen due to their much thinner barrels. The Derwent pencils do offer more colour selection, their biggest set being 72.Those who are not familiar with pastel pencils do need to keep in mind that sharpening these may be a bit of a challenge since the colour core is incredibly fragile. Just like charcoal and carbon pencils, care must be taken in sharpening pastel pencils or the leads will break. This is not the fault of the actual product, but the medium itself. All pastel pencils, across all brands, are challenging to sharpen. Some brands, like the Stabilo, have a sharpener specifically for their pastel pencils. I found that the smaller plastic sharpeners, like the Generals or even the ones offered by Derwent in some of their sets, are the best for sharpening these. Many artists don’t even use sharpeners, they use an X-Acto knife. With that said, I had no issues sharpening these and I always use my sharpest, newest sharpener.The majority of the colours are light-fast per the colour chart listed on the Derwent website with over half of the 72 piece set being rated 6-8 on the L/F Blue Wool Scale; I counted 51 colours (a couple are rated 5/6).The main criticism and this is typical of the Derwent pencils, is that the thicker barrel and lead, although great for larger areas and drawings, make it a bit of a challenge when doing detailed work. You can try to obtain a sharp point but due to their thickness and fragility, this may prove a bit difficult. The price is also on the high/premium side. I was able to get these at a pretty decent price here on Amazon and I do recommend to keep your eyes open as prices fluctuate. The prices offered here are much better than any of my local art stores. The criticisms are minor of an overall great product. I find these pencils a joy to work with. The easy transfer of colour, effortless blending and layering, and a good selection of 72 vibrant colours, makes this a great companion piece to my other pencils, and I look forward to creating more pieces with them. Highly recommended for artists, and colourists, of all levels.

excelente producto, y el tiempo de entrega es muy rápido

Very good
