Woomer Premium 72 Colored Pencil, Artists 3.8mm Creamy Soft Core with Lightfast Vibrant Color, Ideal Sketching Coloring Pencils for Kids Adults Beginners with Case Tin Box

Very good for the price point (when on sale or with a discount offered).Pigment excellent, very soft leads, similar to Prisma, not quite as crumbly though.No issues with sharpening them.Test was done on a standard coloring book page, since that is where most folks are using colored pencils these days. Considering the terrible quality of coloring book paper in most books out there, this test one included, the pencils performed amazingly well. Everything was done with only the colored pencils, except for the white spots on the feathers, which are white gel pen. I did test the use of three blending pencils (prisma, lyra and polycolor) as well as colorless blender alcohol marker - all worked very well with these pencils.On quality artist paper, these pencils are exquisite. I just swatch tested them, but performance was so good, I will be using these for sketching and artwork that is not going to be left out in the light. I doubt they are very lightfast, but that doesn't matter if you are doing art in sketch books or placing your finished pieces into a storage portfolio.Bottom line- the full cost without discount or sale is a little steep, but if you can snatch them up on sale, go for it. They are very nice and I ordered several sets at different times as sales came up since I do like them that much.

Best budget pencils I have tried. Vivid colors, soft like prismacolors, blends well especially using kalour colorless blender.Comes in metal case with a color swatch chart. Each pencil is numbered, color named with a lightfast rating. Sharpens to a fine point with a hand held sharpener. While not a professional grade colored pencil, it's close. Great set for a beginning or experienced artist

These pencils are a good choice, so far. I haven't had any points break when sharpening. (My Prismacolor Premier pencils drive me crazy breaking just as I get a sharp point.) The colors are vibrant and layer well when shading.

These colored pencils are good quality for creating artwork.

Good colored pencils for the price? Yes. Lying about the lightfast ratings? Yes. Actually, I was in the midst of doing my own little test of these (without being scientific, just so you know) just for seeing which of the pencils not to use on the shrink plastic charms I was going to make with them. I was planning on checking the swatches every month for a total of a year. At the time of writing this review, these swatches had been soaking up the sun for a measly 61 days. I also just happened to watch Sarah Renae Clark's pretty darn scientific lightfast test on colored pencils that she uploaded on April 5th. As Sarah stated in her video, many companies are doing in-house lightfast tests that aren't regulated. You can head over to her video and go to the 22:00 mark to hear some about Woomer. The "sort of" Blue Wool test is important to note. Anyone who is interested in the lightfastness of colored pencils should watch Sarah's video. In my own little unscientific test I just exposed the swatches to sunlight and had taped off a portion of each swatch to protect it from the light. Because Woomer isn't transparent about the pigments used, you can only use guesswork and tests yourself to see if they suit your purposes. Woomer's claims of lightfast ratings go from - 0/ not lightfast all the way to +++++ 5/ extremely lightfast. As you know, pinks and purples tend to struggle a lot due to fugitive pigments and you can see that at play here with these pencils. Light Magenta (WP328 +++ 3) and Violet Pink (WP315 +++ 3) basically vanished in all but 2 months. Pale Violet (WP320 ++++ 4) and Manganese Violet (WP344 +++-+ 3-4) have faded from purple to blue. A +++ 3 rating is considered "lightfast" to Woomer. Violet (WP377 ++++ 4) is the most lightfast of the purples. Pink Madder (WP110 ++++ 4) and Seashell Pink (WP105 ++++ 4) are the most lightfast pinks. If you compare those ++++ 4 ratings to the ++++ 4 rating for Burnt Ochre (WP542) you can see it had significant fading in 2 months. Then take a look at Sienna Brown (WP530) which has a rating of ++++-+ 4-5. It has no noticeable fading with only a .5 increase in the rating. Different pigments can fade at different times but there is something to be said about the colors that claim to be lightfast having next to no staying power in a short amount of time. This is why it's best to test these pencils yourself and ignore the ratings Woomer gives. It's unknown what will happen to these swatches over the course of the next few months but just keep in mind that if your art is in storage away from light, these things shouldn't worry you too much. If you plan on using them on pieces that'll see significant light, think twice about which colors you'll use. If lightfastness isn't a concern for you, these pencils are still decent for the price. They can get a little scratchy though.

A perfectly pine assortment of colored pencils, but not what I expected. I enjoy bright colors, but this is just a weird collection of colors. They are soft, almost like a Prismacolors, which I like, but I don’t find that they blend particularly well. I have a lot of colored pencils, so I will use them to supplement my collection, but if I were buying Knesset, this one wouldn’t be it. If I hadn’t waited to give them a try until the return window had passed, I would have sent them back.

Great quality, yet on the budget. Pencils really feel very close to Prismacolor: vibrant colors, soft, easily blending, thicker pencil core. No problems with sharpening and breakage. The pencils keep the sharp point relatively long, Hopefully the manufacturer will expand the set size (perhaps a few skin tones would be great). There is not enough info regarding lightfastness. The inner plastic trays are flimsy and need improvement.

Espectaculares son mejores que los prismacolor premier, había visto opiniones en youtube y los compré para comprobarlo y definitivamente son como los premier pero MEJORES!
