DerwentChromaflow Pencils, Set of 150 in Tin, 3.5mm Round Core, Premium Core Strength, Blendable with Smooth Texture, Ideal for Drawing, Colouring & Layering, Professional Quality, 2306263

I am so in love with these pencils, I am thinking of running away with them. Hubby can keep the house and the dogs, I just want my Chromaflows and my colouring books. The guys who make prismas must be weeping over their coffee.Fabulous colours - check out the Mango - and lovely creamy texture that doesn't crumble, and virtually layers and blends itself. Nice finish on the barrel too. Not as fine as polychromos, but nicer than prismas, which always feel cheaper in the hand than they should. If I had to find fault it would be the lack of reds, which is a tad disappointing and the only areas where prismas win. However, there is a lovely choice of purply pinky shades. Can't leave them alone! I think I have found the perfect pencil at last.

Excellent pencils in beautiful case... They really good quality in good price... I Love the colour palette and how they perform...

I love these pencils for creamy texture,lay down and colours BUT...9 out of 24 leads aren't centred,one is cracked. The wood splinters easily too-not sure what wood is used. I would have given a 3 for these issues if it weren't for the fact they really do have good colours,even with 24 I'm able to get a lot done as they layer and mix well,although I think a 36 set would've been better. None are gritty either and they hold a good point too. The price is fair if it just happens I got a dodgy set!

I needed more pencils like a hole in the head but the Prime Day deal on these was too good to miss and I’m blown away by how good they are! They hold a point and layer like polychromos and yet blend like prismas - best of both worlds! The colour range is well balanced with a good mix of vibrant and muted tones, the leads are firm yet feel buttery, don’t break or wear down too quickly and they sharpen easily in my Dahl 133 sharpener. Probably not suitable for professional artists who sell their work as they don’t have a lightfast rating, but for colouring book enthusiasts and sketchbook artists, these are perfect!

I love these pencils, the colours stand out on cardstock, they are fairly hard-wearing, if your using a dark colour cardstock, you have to push down hard for the colour to show up. They are very smooth when colouring, sharpens to a small point even with a Derwent Pencil Sharpener. I did have to sharpen the pencils quite a bit, when using for a short time. The pencils come in a tin. Certainly recommend and will purchase again.

Brilliant, brilliant pencils, and amazing for uk market now you can buy the 150 set with open stock from Derwent website. Was considering buying Prismacolour, but getting this set at a great offer price on Amazon, has convinced me otherwise, and great performance from the pencils so far. They sharpen really well to a strong point, have sharpened and swatched the whole set with no breakages, and the colours are creamy and vibrant. My absolute go to pencils now....

I really wanted to love these pencils but I found the quality disappointing. Most of the pencil cores are not centered, the coating seems to have a tendency to chip off and some have an uneven roughness to them. One pencil even has a streak of the coating going right to the core. The colour indicator dips are great and I’ve had no problems with quality on them. They are quite a soft pencil and don’t hold a point as much as I would like but that is a me thing not a pencil problem. Great range of colours.

Just received this 72 set of coloured pencils. Thanks Amazon for such speedy service. Received in less than a week from the U.K. to Canada with standard delivery!These coloured pencils from Derwent are good quality. I had the 24 set and it’s definitely worth it to have expanded it to 72. Lots of lovely greys in the set. All the colours are rich and blend extremely well. Plus although not all are lightfast, they have been tested for lightfastness so artists can use them to sell their art.The only drawback I’ve had with the 24 set was some breakage. Make sure to use a very good quality sharpener with a sharp blade and sharpen gently. All in all though, I’m satisfied with their performance. They need to come out with singles so you don’t have to buy a whole set to replace a pencil.I do want to add that I bought these when there was a terrific markdown. Just lucky I guess. At the original price, I do think these are too expensive. Best to wait a bit for the price to come down.
