My daughter loves using these colored pencils! They are so smooth and colors blend amazingly even without using blenders. She is making beautiful artwork with them! Thanks Castle!!

I love to color and belong to multiple Facebook, Instagram and YouTube adult coloring channels. I'm always up for trying new brands. These were a great price, I love that comes in a carry case. Great range of colors and they lay down and blend nicely.

Ad on my phone, was a little worried, but item came Fast and in Wonderful shape! Love the storage as you can put your pencils you select for a drawing, just stick them down instead of up and then you know the color you have chosen!! The pencils are good quality, I just LOVE them!!

perfect product for my crafting

I first experienced Castle products with a set of paints. I was so impressed that I have ordered colored pencils and sketch pads. I especially like this set of pencils because colors are easy to find, pencils slip in and out of the case and stay organized and safe from being lost. The case easily zips up to travel. The pencils are of excellent quality, the color being on the end of them is very helpful, and the tutorials offered by Castle are very helpful.

Great price. Good quality, well worth the product for the money charged.

Case smaller than expected. Pencils arrived in good condition in a timely manner. Pencils are smooth. Colors are vivid.

My daughter and I both love the pencils. I have friends and family that would love these also. My daughter asked me for some for Christmas

My biggest problem with the pencils is that they don't sharpen very well. Points tend to break off after sharpening. Very hard to use after the initial new point wears down.

I adore this set, the case, the colors - EVERYTHING about them. I am so tired of getting pencils and they are all broken inside. This case is durable and beautifully made to protect the colors.
Once I got a chance to use them, I fell in love. The texture is smooth and soft. The colors are bold and vibrant.
I would suggest this set to anyone who loves not waste money and wants to create the most amazing works of art.

I heard about Castle Arts by watching U Tube videos by colorists. Love that the pencils are harder than Prismacolor, sharpen to a point beautifully. No breakage issues. Colors are vibrant. One reviewer said they smelled bad upon opening. I did not find that to be true. Downside is that they are not available open stock. Case is awesome. Pencils travel well in this case. ******

The colors are fresh and you know what each one is because it’s on the pencil. They are so soft love them

I wanted some nice smooth pencils for my art and you guys had a sale on Facebook. So I snapped it up. It arrived 2 days later! And I couldn't be happier

I bought these off of the castle arts site,with their recent sale. I've been eyeing then here for awhile, was on the fence about if they'd top my *other brand* pencils.
Then I read a post a couple months ago about these,( I'll try to remember where so they can get credit) and the OP had met with a honcho over at the Castle Arts castle, and described the meeting as very informative. Said the values of the company were not just about cashing in, but about making a quality product. A product that is budget friendly, yet artists grade. He was suitably,albeit a bit surprisingly, impressed with not just the VIP, but the pencils themselves. And rightly so.
They have met this goal admirably. Awesomely. I absolutely love these. They are at least as good as the *other 2 top brands* I own, if not better than at least one. Seriously. You need these in your coloring life. Buy them. For real. You will not be disappointed.
The case they come in is perfect. Compact, yet they all fit in nicely. They are numbered, named, and look elegant. They lay down smoothly, very blendable, yet they keep a nice point. (*Ahem*)(something others have a hard time doing). The colors are beautiful, there is even a true red. A red that's not pink. Hallelujah. Amazing.
If you're not convinced by now, you need to go to a mirror,tell yourself sternly that you are an intelligent, artistic, & sensible person that should be open to new things. Now administer a resounding smack upside your cranium, thusly signaling your brain to get those fingers on the buy now button, and squash it but good.
You will be happy you did, and so will your future masterpieces.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go neglect my pile of work to be done on my site in favor of coloring a nice illustration by the lovely Jasmine. Ill toss up apic in a bit to show you what I mean.
Happy coloring!
*Poof*

I love it!!!!!

I use the pencils to color Christian bookmarks and they work beautifully. All of the pencils work well. I have bought some that you can only use a few out of the whole package. But love these!!
Terrence M.
Great selection of colors , total package !!!
Sherlene H.
I saw these pencil through a fellow colorist on multiple occasions, they blend nice, lay down well, and have an beautiful assortment of colors. I was very surprised at the cost of the pencils considering they are very budget friendly. (Nice).

I enjoy the many color options. It help expand my creative choices.

I love the pencils. Very smooth. Good coverage and they blend well. I❤️❤️❤️ That they are in the convenient zippered case...easy to access and to keep organized. Thank you for an amazing product. This is my first purchase but it will mot be my last.
Kathleen B.
Great storage case and colors blend well

I love them. They work great for my art needs. I do at least one piece a day, sometimes up to five. The only thing I don't like is the core has a habit of breaking, to the point it's sometimes hard to sharpen them even with a hand sharpener especially the black. My black is already a third of what it was when I got the set, maybe even less. I'm going to have to check into if you can buy colors individually.
Melissa C.
Wanted more color choices and a nice case instead of them laying all over my lap as usual. Quality is great, so many color choices and the case is really sturdy. I love it. Will be purchasing more items for myself and for gifts.

I am no an artist, I have R.A., lupus and Emphysema so this something that I can use to combat pain. I also bought gel pens and watercolor pencils. I’ve only used the colored pencils and they are wonderful. I’m going to watch a lot of YouTube videos before I tackle the rest.so far I have only good things to say.

This is what I'm giving this year for birthdays and Christmas , so I am ahead of the games ❤

There seems to be a good pigment load, which makes strong beautiful colors. The pencil cores make a creamy lay down that covers completely on good paper. There is a broad range of colors in each hue section. Excellent quality for the price. They may not have the highest lightfast rating, but I use products (which are more affordable when I save resource money buying Castle Arts pencils) to increase the lightfastness. I use a Caran D’Ache blender pencil, which increases lightfastness by 10%. I use Zest It liquid blender, which does not deteriorate the paper or colored pencil over time. I use an artist quality workable fixative if I need it. And I cover final pieces with UV protective spray. Castle Arts colored pencils make beautiful images without stress, and they can be made to last a lifetime. I love them.

Purchased as a gift for my 84 year old aunt. She loves them!

I enjoy using the pencils and pens . They leave no lines and easy to blend. Yes I would tell others to use your products.
