Ok these are awesome!! I have been looking specifically for some oil based color pencils, these exceeded my expectations by far! The smoothness and quality were superb! They have sooo many colors! The pigment is sooo vibrant! You really have so many colors to choose from as well! This really makes me want to color none stop! I had sooo much fun using this! They have made me a happy mom today! I felt like a kid! This was an early Mother’s Day present and honestly I’m so happy I want to cry! Did I pick them out and buy them myself? You betcha lol but I’m glad I did! If you’re looking for a vibrant, fun, great quality color pencils- this is it! Here’s your sign! Also I’m attaching pics of the color pigmentation- each square is smooth light color and the other side is where I made darker colors from the same pencil applying a deeper but light touch. I hope this helps you.

After watching several online reviews, I chose these colored pencils—and they did not disappoint! They’re smooth, vibrant, and perfect for my 11-year-old daughter, who loves to draw. They’ve lasted well so far and are an excellent choice for a beginner artist. Great quality and value!

I have used both oil and wax colored pencils for years and I have to say that this set of Star Joy Gold oil pencils is absolutely amazing!Pros:Affordable! To find a set of pencils, at the level these are, for this price is truly incredible. I own some expensive oil pencil sets and these Star Joy Gold pencils have them beat.Long lasting! Properly sharpening these pencils gives one such pleasure for a very long time. I've been using them for consecutive coloring pages, testing them on different types of paper and my pencils still look like they are new. A couple quick twists with a M&R handheld sharpener and I have a sharp point that goes on and on. I've never had a pencil keep a good point for as long as these do!Richly pigmented! Oil pencils require a light hand and build up depth of color over multiple layers, it takes a little more time, but the results are worth it. I'm seeing a rich color after just a few layers. With oil pencils, there is no wax bloom, so I can get a beautiful effect quickly.Definitely a huge bang for the bucks. Star Joy Gold pencils are harder than the Faber Castell Poloychromos and the Delhi pencils, but smooth and not scratchy at all. I also own Schripperre Farbern oils and those are a bit scratchy.Works well, even on Amazon paper! Yes! I have used my Star Joy Gold pencils on Amazon paper, Johanna Brasford books, and cardstock so far. No matter which paper I have used to color, I am able to get very close to each other results!!!! This particular advantage is amazing for those who enjoy finding new blends that will work the same on different types of paper. Nothing can be more disappointing than to use a combination of pencils on one page and have it be a bit different on another.Clearly marked, named and numbered! No lacquer over the printing on the pencils helps see names and numbers clearly. I had one pencil with no printing, but I didn't take a point off due to being able to identify it easily. The pencils are arranged in color family, jewel tones, muted/pastel tones, skin tones, color corrector for skin tones and grey shades. There is no white, but using a Prismacolor white pencil is perfect for tint. The colors in this Star Joy Gold set compliments and completes every other set out there. The color possibilities are endless.Packaged well for shipping! With Amazon's new thin plastic bag shipping concerns have arisen for many but, the Star Joy Gold pencils are packaged in a manner to protect! The sharpened pencils have blunted tips for shipping protection. A blunt tip during shipping keeps the tips from breaking. A layer of padding helps to keep the pencils from moving around in the tin during shipping. The tin container is sturdy and protective. All is placed in a plastic bag and then a cardboard sleeve. My tin arrived in perfect condition.Comes with a color chart! I prefer to use a larger chart than what came with the Star Joy Gold pencils, as I have a binder containing color charts for all my coloring mediums, (no, you can not have too many!), and I like having all of them having the same size and look...yes I'm OCD with my coloring charts, supplies, etc. The chart that comes with the set is also a little harder for me to read, eyes are aging.Cons:The tray grabs are shallow and I have some difficulty getting a good hold. I keep my nails short, so someone who has longer nails may wish to transfer the pencils into a storage case immediately. As I have no more space for pencil cases, (I highly recommend BTSKY pencil cases!!!!), The tin is more than adequate protection and fits in my drawer on my cases of other pencils.One pencil lacked printing on the barrel. No deduction taken taken. Simple human error in this matter and I am able to identify it easily.Recommended highly for everyone who is beginning, intermediate and more advanced colorist.Recommended highly for price and quality.Excellent gift for others.Tutorials for using, sharpening and color combos available on YouTube@ ColorMyWorld

Just received these pencils today & immediately swatched them. They are oil based pencils (not like prismacolors which are wax based) but saying that...they are FABULOUS!!! I am NOT an artist. I just love to color. I am in my 70's & need things to keep me busy during the day & I just needed a break from knitting & crocheting. I had always loved coloring as a kid & a teenager so I got back into it (a hundred years later, but better late than never!). I watch alot of You Tube reviews on pencils, gel pens, etc. & Jennifer Stay from Coloring Bliss did a review on the top 12 (I think it was 12) budget pencils & she rated these high. She loved them (although most artists are snobs when it comes to their favorites (always prismacolor), but some of us just can't afford them. (Don't know why a PENCIL costs so much!!) (I should tell you I am waiting for my Prismacolor Scholars to be delivered (60 pencils in the set but ALOT less money than the professional set). Anyway, this set comes in a tin (which is so nice) & they will stay in it. First of all...the price...less than $30 for 120 pencils. The pencils have a matte finish, which I love (no glare) & they are numbered from 1-120 with the color name in bold black print (very easy to read) & with the color group letter next to the number (example: 1R Rose Red Pink, 35GB Pacific Blue (GB stands for green/blue), 40VB Blueberry Blue (violet/blue), etc. There are 18 groups of 3 analogous colors so it's a "no brainer" when you pick colors for blending. After those 18 comes the "J" group which are jewel tones, then the "MP" group which are muted pastels, then "S" for skin tones, then "CC" for color correctors, then finally the "GS" group which are all the grays & then a black (no white in this set, which is fine because most white pencils SUCK). I will buy a white pencil separately if the prismacolor set I'm getting doesn't have one or it's lousy. This set makes it sooo easy for a novice like me to color well. I'm thrilled with this set. You can get a real close-up look at this set on Youtube at "Colormyworld" with Lori. She had a hand in creating these pencils. For anyone on the fence...GO FOR IT!! You'll love them!
