BOSPA Colored Pencils,36 Pack Colored Pencils for Coloring Books,Drawing, Sketching, Adult Coloring, Soft Core Colored Pencils

I recommend these pencils completely because if I'm not completely satisfied they will refund me no questions asked. You can't beat that! But these are such good quality I won't be returning them because this company takes their product seriously. I bought these for the developmentally disabled people I work with. They are easy to use and to keep sharp. The 36 colored pencils are made with hexangular barrel so they don't roll away when you put them down . They don't break easily, the number of pencils you get for the price is very reasonable and the many colors are varied. Good colors for skin tones. For drawing they will be great, also for coloring. These look like great pencils to use for school supplies. A real artist will be able to use these for portraits, too.

I use colored pencils for several purposes: (1) coloring books; (2) crossword or other word games; and (3) shopping lists (different color for each store). During early use so far, these vibrantly-colored pencils permit for a smooth flow of color, without the “waxiness” present in other pencils. The colors are vivid, and provide for a equal distribution of various colors across the color spectrum. Finally, while contemplating this purchase, I learned the difference between “soft” and “hard core” colored pencils. In brief, I chose this product as it was touted as a “soft core” pencil. Upon first use, it appears to satisfy those criteria: highly-pigmented; touted as being break-resistant and more durable; designed for smooth coloring and blending, drawing, and sketching; and made from a higher-grade wood (basswood), which enables cleaner sharpening.
