Stunning colored pencils!
So I’ve used quite a few colored pencils. Prismacolor was my favorite because I thought it could not get any better than Prismacolor. Come to figure out, it’s no longer my favorite colored pencil anymore. Polychromos is expensive, but the investment is worth it as these are very high quality. I’ve not had a single breakage after 4 full color drawings and they hold a point for a LONG time, they are very pigmented and layer beautifully, no wax bloom, beautiful colors, nice thick core, easy to hold and color with, they sharpen well and not to mention the lovely shavings smell of cedar wood! Knowing that each color is lightfast with no fade for a lifetime is icing on the cake. Polychromos is the best colored artist pencil I’ve ever used. I highly recommend these colored pencils to anyone who has the patience to use these correctly with the right paper to just buy these! It is not a waste of money and I’m getting a larger set.

Great pencils that live up to the hype.
I bought this set to compare with my Prismacolor Premiers and Lyra Rembrandt Polycolors. After using these FC Polychromos I can say I will never purchase anything else. There are many pros to these pencils. In no particular order: 1) They look and feel great and have a nice finish that matches the color of the lead; 2) The barrels are slightly thicker than the Prismacolors and Lyras. Makes them easier to hold with less hand cramping; 3) They lay down a nice color immediately with little pressure. 4) Wonderful for blending and shading. 5) The tin is high quality and the pencils stay in place while being transported 6) Easy to sharpen with a hand held sharpener and they hold their points. So far no crumbling leads or breaking wood in the hand held sharpeners (unlike the Prismacolors and a couple of the Lyras) 7) Oil-based leads that are water resistant and 8) Each pencil has a rating of *, **, or *** denoting it's light-fastness. The only Con I can think of for these is the price. They are pricey pencels but you are getting a very high quality product. I would definitely recommend these to friends and suggest you buy the largest set your budget can afford. The 24 set is adequate but you will feel limited in your color selection. I feel the color range in the set of 24 is very nice in the yellows-reds, the blues are adequate, but I really would appreciate some more natural green shades. Browns and greys seem adequate for me.

Expensive but great
I loved them! Best quality ever!!! They’re so easy to blend and even when I don’t know how to color. They’re great even for untalented people like me lol

Really good. Not great like i was hoping.
I finally splurged on some colored pencils. And for the price they are better than average but I was expecting a little more out of them I guess. I thought these would WOW me and they didn't... I was hoping I would be impressed enough that I would want to use them all the time...I went back to using pens. so...

Smooth, vibrant, and durable!
I absolutely love the Faber-Castell Polychromos! Unlike the popular wax-based colored pencils, these are oil-based, and seem to be far more durable and less prone to breaking. They offer a smooth application, erase surprisingly well, and the white pencil performs beautifully for highlights, something many other brands struggle with. The pigmentation is rich and vibrant, and they sharpen cleanly without the need for a special sharpener. I used about five shades from the 24-pencil set to create this sketch. The tin case it comes in is sturdy and travel-friendly, making it easy to take the set on the go without worrying about damage.

Fantastic pencils :). Tin case needs improvement.
Packaging: Seller(MSGH)/Amazon needs to improve the packaging for such costly/fragile items. It came with just the Amazon bag without any additional cardboard, etc for support due to which it was bent at few places. Luckily the pencils were not damaged. Pros: (reference : Orange peel drawing) 1) Nice colors (24 set good price. @1690/- seller MSGH). Lays down very well on paper. 2) Blends nicely with Baby oil (Johnson's) 3) Layers very well if paper is good or we can use oils to blend in-between and layer over it repeatedly. 4) Works well over watercolour or other pencils like Derwent Coloursoft. 5) Set of 24, if mixed as combo of every 2 pencils can produce good range of colours as seen in the attached chart. Cons: (Attached pics for bent tin) 1) Tin is very flimsy as noted by lot of others which doesn't help during shipping. But build quality is good since surface is very smooth without sharp edges. 2) White color is not very pigmented (compared to Coloursoft) but works for blending or when used with another colour. Note: Though I own the Derwent Coloursofts (favourite) and Artists (less pigmented, difficult to work) , I wanted to try something different before trying out the "Costly in India" Prismacolors eventually and I wasn't disappointed with the Polychromos. Definitely recommended 👍

Crayons de couleur Faber-Castell d’une qualité exceptionnelle
Ce coffret de 24 crayons Polychromos Faber-Castell est tout simplement superbe. La pigmentation est riche et intense, les couleurs se mélangent facilement et glissent parfaitement sur le papier. Que ce soit pour le dessin artistique, les esquisses détaillées ou le coloriage de précision, ces crayons offrent un résultat professionnel. La coque métallique est très pratique pour transporter et organiser les crayons sans les abîmer. La sensation en main est agréable, les mines sont solides et résistent bien à la pression — même pour les techniques plus appuyées. J’utilise ces crayons au quotidien et je suis toujours impressionné par la consistance et la qualité des couleurs. Un excellent investissement pour artistes amateurs comme confirmés. Je recommande vivement ce coffret !

Fijn om mee te werken.
Mooie stevige doos en fijne kleurpotloden die goed mengen.Faber Castell is sowieso een goed Duits merk voor alle potloden. Het enige nadeel dat ik kan bedenken is dat ik misschien een grotere doos met meer kleuren had moeten bestellen ;-)
