Los colores se rompen fácil, su madera es de malísima calidad, no los recomiendo.

One of my favourite things to test is art supplies and that's because I love to draw and create. So, when I saw this set of 72 pencil crayons from Ccfoud, I couldn't resist. They come in an attractive box wrapped in cellophane. Inside the box, the pencil crayons are laid out in two plastic trays. Just be aware that the packaging will not be sufficient for storing these pencil crayons in since the box isn't very sturdy and will break down eventually. Also, this type of packaging is not optimal for keeping the leads in your pencil crayons from breaking on the inside of the barrels.My first impression was that, though this set has quite an array of colours in it, some hues were given much more representation than others. There seems to be a lot of yellows, oranges, greens and blues in this set and no really good flesh tones. This is a mix of muted pastels, jewel tones, with some greys and a few metallics added in. These pencil crayons have rounded barrels which I prefer over the squared ones because I find them more comfortable to hold onto, though round ones do have a habit of rolling down your drawing surface. I was very impressed by the information contained on the barrels, which you don't often see in more inexpensive pencil crayons. The top of each barrel bears the same hue as the lead in the pencil it represents and those colours match up pretty well. The barrels are not only printed with the names of their respective colours, they also give the colour's corresponding number. However, some of the colours have been given professional names, while most of them have not. Like the majority of inexpensive pencil crayons, these are oil-based. But that's not a dealbreaker for me as oil-based pencil crayons have their advantages over more expensive wax-based options. For instance, oil-based pencil crayons are harder than wax-based, so they tend not to break as easily. The big downside to oil-based pencil crayons is that they don't blend as easily as wax-based, but that can be remedied by using a different technique. Incredibly, these pencil crayons are lightfast, which you don't often see in non-professional pencil crayons. This means that the work you create with these pencil crayons will last through the ages. This is particularly important if you intend on selling the work you create with these. These pencil crayons come sharpened, but I always like to give my pencil crayons a fresh sharpening in order to remove any coating that may be on the tip. This will ensure the ends are smooth and will work with minimal scratching, which will give you a much better experience with your new pencil crayons. They do sharpen fairly well, though some tips did break with a couple breaking repeatedly. While the cores on these aren't super-fragile, you'll want to store these in a way that they don't suffer a lot of bang-ups in order to protect the cores from breakage.In swatching each of these pencil crayons onto white paper, one can see they don't have quite as rich and deep a pigment profile as professional pencil crayons, but, that said, they still do throw down a fair bit of pigment onto the page. When swatching each of these onto black paper, white has the greatest opacity with only the lightest shades of other colours showing a fairly weak opacity, while darker colours barely register at all. So, if you wanted to work with black or dark-coloured paper, these pencil crayons are not the best for that sort of thing. As for the metallics, don't expect a lot of shimmer from them or you will be disappointed. I will say that, for the most part, metallic pencil crayons are usually underwhelming, anyway. For my blending test, I blended yellow, orange, and red to see what sort of transition I could get out of each colour. As I suspected, these pencil crayons don't blend as well as the more expensive wax crayons...the more you blend, the muddier the colour, but that's okay because a solvent can be used to get the transitions you require. These do blend well using a solvent like mineral oil. Using mineral oil, I was able to blend a yellow and a blue together to make a lovely green. When layering, these pencil crayons build up well until about the 5th layer when they start throwing crumbs. When really putting the pressure on, the tips will also break. So, if you are doing any burnishing work with these, they will suit it fairly well, but be prepared to do some cleanup afterwards.At $18.99 regularly for a set of 72 pencil crayons, you are only paying $0.26/pencil crayon, which is almost unheard of. Unbelievably, this set is currently on sale for $17.09, which means each pencil crayon costs only $0.24. Sure, this set won't compare to a set from Prismacolor or even Arteza, but if you are just looking for decent pencil crayons at an affordable price for young amateur artists or for colouring, this set from Ccfoud will certainly do. To put it in perspective, a similar set of pencil crayons from Arteza will cost you twice the regular price of the Ccfoud set. I hope this review has helped you to make the purchasing decision that is right for you.
