Perfectly usable pencils for the price.
These pencils are very competitively priced, I would have given them 5 stars, but they tend to wear down slightly quicker than the brands I am used to, which just means I have to sharpen them more. They are considerably cheaper than the brand I have been using before though.

Decent pencils for Beginner-Intermediate
I usually sketch on a pad and draw mechical/non organic things with sharp lines and easy to shade surfaces which includes ships, clockwork, zeppelins e.g.
The multiple grades of pencil help with shading and the lighter grades for discrete outlines.

A good set,
The range of pencils from 5H to 6B enabled a wide range of line strengths on paper. If the hardest pencil was a 6H instead of 5H for a fainter sketch, this set would have been perfect.

These sketching pencils are the best I’ve ever used
They are easy to sketch with and have a lot of pigment to them when sketching they glide softly on the paper making it easier which is also great for beginners highly recommended.

Great starter kit
Bought these for my daughter for art in her new school (secondary). The tin is sturdy but not too bulky and the pencils are just what she needed. Definitely recommend.

Great blending
It goes from a 5H to a 6B which is great for creating a variety of tones. It blends really well and you can also layer with them. Would definitely recommend.

I'm very pleased I purchased this, although I bought it separate from a pack. It is more than worth it.

Slightly rough finish
These draw ok but the outside of the pencils are a bit rough like they weren't finished properly.
