I got these last March as my first set outside of prismas and I hated them at first, but I recently gave them another go now that I have more experience. Now I love these pencils! Very different but I enjoy how they layer over the prismas. I also love how well they keep a point. I would recommend these for new colorists who want to try an oily based pencil.

In Europe they never have been budget friendly. I live in Spain and they cost currently 62€, a price I'm not willing to pay. I don't understand this big difference in price range. Thanks for the review, I was interested in your opinion.

These are unfortunately almost $80CAD on Canadian Amazon which is pretty high for a budget set. I do like the fact that they come with tri-blends already sorted, though I agree with you that the light to dark range on those is rather low, and I like more contrast in my shadows too.

I wish they’d come down in price here. They still cost much more than I’m willing to pay for a budget pencil. I like the idea of them, especially for times when I don’t want to have to choose a colour combo. Ah well, I’ll keep my eye on them

I have been wishing for that as well -- would love more pinks, lavenders, reds, oranges, & browns -- I feel like the blues and greens are well covered, but especially red feels like it could use 2-3 more pencils to help expand the ranges.

My first experience, I really did not like them. But I was used to oil leaning pencils to being harder and waxier pencils to being softer. Once I started using them more, I really like them and I agree about the greys and pinks. Though, I am always all about more purples too. LOL!

I have to admit, ive never exactly been interested in getting the star joy gold mainly because there are no open stock available (they do seem like an excellent budget set Though). However, I always watch your pencil reviews and comparisons- they really are incredible and without a doubt the best pencils reviews. You are possibly one of a very few who REALLY thoroughly tries the pencil for an extended time to get a good feel of them and do comprehensive on screen tests like this. Its really unbelievably helpful for so many people. And they are enjoyable to watch too. Thank you so incredibly much

Thank you. Yes, they aren’t open stock, but with a budget set that’s the trade off. You’re not getting artist quality here, so you aren’t going to have open stock opportunities or even lightfast testing, but you have a good little pencil to use here and there for sure.

I am getting my elementary-school aged granddaughter a nre set of colored pencils for her birthday (she is very much the little artist), and I was undecided about which set. She isn't responsible enough for something like my Prismas or Polys, but she is ready for something a little more than Crayolas. This set sounds perfect, especially with the way the colors are arranged.

My cat's loved the piece of foam in the top of the box -- they stole that week 1. I use the shades I consider skin tones in this box quite a bit for portraits -- I get blends I like for them. I also like using them for backgrounds -- if there is a big giant sky or some background I don't want to use Prisma or Black Widow for -- I find them super-useful and they work well with Prisma and Black Widow. I also get better results with them on heavier toothier cardstock papers. Also love that blues are less powdery and dense than some of the vibrant blues in the Prisma sets. I did completely reorder the pencils in the tin the first weekend tho to meet my needs. My eye needs them in color groups. I did the same with my Prisma box -- and the Black Widows -- although did not mix them between tins in BW -- but within the tins they're in color groups. And don't miss the white in SJG. I use either Prisma or white charcoal.
