## Description

desertcart.com : Castle Art Supplies 120 Colored Pencils with Zipper | Quality Soft Coloured Leads for Adult Artists, Professionals and Colorists | In Zipper Pouch : Office Products

Review: My Favorite Colored Pencils EVER!!!! - Let me just say that I am a repeat customer of Castle Art’s colored pencils. I originally bought a much smaller collection of their pencils when it was on a super clearance sale, and I was SO pleasantly surprised by the performance. I will say, I’m not someone who has a ton of experience with colored pencils; I’ve used the ones everyone has (crayola, crazy art, etc) and Prismacolor, but besides that I’ve never tried any other “professional” colored pencils. I’ve got to be honest, I personally prefer these to the Prismacolor pencils. I just feel like you get better value for your money with these. The coloring itself is super smooth (one of the main things that attracted me to the color) and I have an easy time blending colors. My only negative is that not all of the pencils arrive super sharpened. It’s like, 1 out of every 20 or so are a bit duller sharpened than the others, but as long as you have a sharpener you’ll be fine! I also find that they are decently bold, but not as bold as Prismacolor CAN be. This doesn’t affect me too much since I’m not trying to have super bold pallets, but if you are someone who wants that, you might want to do a bit more research before committing to these. Overall, a great set of pencils especially for the price! If you are a more casual artist or wanting to start to experiment with more “professional” supplies, these are a great alternative to pricy colored pencil collections. I think these would make a great gift to an artist in your life, and the color variety is pretty good, so they’ll be able to hold you over for a while. Definitely worth checking out if you have been eyeing them for a while.
Review: Nice pigment - UPDATE 17 APRIL 2023...since posting I received communication from Carlos at Castle Art Supplies! Even though Castle Art Supplies is not responsible for the packaging used at the desertcart warehouse or how the carriers handled the shipment, they have offered me a set of 120 pencils in the tin box! What FANTASTIC customer service! I would like to thank Castle Art Supplies, Carlos especially, for taking my disappointment in shipping breakage as their opportunity to make me happy. I truly enjoy the results of my coloring pages using the Castle Art Supplies Soft Touch colored pencils. They have dedicated customer for sure! I received my order last November and saved them for myself for Christmas, which is why my review comes later than normal for me. When I received my Castle Art Soft Touch wax pencils, I was a bit concerned about the packaging. The case holding the pencils was inside an unprotected, thin sheath of plastic. I know how things are tossed around during shipping, having witnessed it first hand on many occasions. My concern has been proven correct. Without proper packaging, I have had many difficulties with the leads being broken. For me, it is extremely frustrating to have to repeatedly sharpen new pencils because the cores are in pieces. Greens are the worst offenders, at times being more crumbs than core! It's not the way I sharpen my pencils as I have been coloring for years and know how to sharpen pencils correctly. This is a problem that I am sure others will have experienced. Now for the wonderful things! Absolutely beautiful layering of pigment, blends nicely. Fantastic for the smoother and slightly glossed paper of high end books such as Klara Markova and Hannah Karlzon. I am able to put a dozen or more layers of my combos on the paper to create pages I am very happy to share with friends and family. The Castle Art pencils also work pretty well with cheaper papers, as long as light layers are used! Press too firmly and the tooth of the paper gives out too soon. My suggestion...request protective packing before ordering. I would have been giving more stars, had the cores not been damaged. For a budget priced pencil, a good depth of color can be achieved.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do these compare with Prismacolor pencils?**
A: The pencils are much less expensive and maybe just a tad bit better in some ways.  Castle pencils keep the points better thus they are not as soft or buttery but still lay down beautifully.  With the 120 set of Castle, I had one pencil come with a broken tip (002) and one core broke when I sharpened it. Castle pencils blend beautifully with the blender pen and the Prismacolor blender pencil.  The other nice thing about Castle is their guarantee if you are not happy with your pencil set.  Let them know and they will refund and let you keep the pencils.  This guarantee was instrumental in my purchasing Castle.  I, also, own the 150 set of Prismacolor colored pencils and love them except they break often when I sharpen them so I often use the sand paper board to get a nice point and to save the length of my pencil.   When I get a nice sharp point on the Prisma, the very tip will crumble but this doesn't happen with the Castle so far.  The Castle core seems to be a bit harder.  There are advantage to both but the Castle price is much better.

**Q: are these pencils the same as the 120 set that comes in the tin?**
A: Yes the exact same! I bought  a case because the trays in the tin are a tad flimsy

**Q: I have the 120 watercolor pencil set. Is there any reason I would need this set also?**
A: Hello Diane9596,

Thanks for taking the time to submit your question.

Regarding your inquiry, it depends if you want to use wax-colored pencils in your collection. While our watercolor pencils can be used dry, we can assure you that our soft-touch wax pencils will really amaze you with how buttery and smooth they are.

Not only that, they're vibrant and have excellent layering properties--giving you tons of color combinations! At the end of the day, it's up to you if you also want to use other mediums when it comes to your beautiful creations.

For more questions, please don't hesitate to send us a direct message and we'd be happy to help you in any way we can.

Kind regards,
The Castle Arts team

**Q: How many metallic pencils are included in the set ?**
A: Hello Bonnie! There are no metallic pencils included in this set. The Metallic set is a special set that introduces 48 NEW colors. I hope this helps and I hope you can try them out soon! ☻

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality for inexpensive price
*by C***. on May 1, 2025*

Near-Prismacolor quality in my opinion, though this set lacks some of the lighter tones needed for fair skin complexions (I've been using a combination of alcohol inks for skin base tones and these pencils for subsurface scattering). These pencils, despite being soft, do hold up fairly well to burnishing, so you can get some pretty very deep and saturated coloration with some work. Doing a light color fill in an area, layering on any other tones you want, and then doing multiple passes between the two with increasingly more pressure up to the final burnishing works quite well to blend them, similar to Prismacolor pencils. Suggestions for owners: -Highly recommend the usual approach of wearing an artist's glove and/or resting your drawing hand on another sheet of paper as you render to prevent from smearing pigment around. These won't smudge like charcoal or graphite, but they will lift and smear on prolonged hand contact. -Some other reviewers have mentioned that the pencil tips break easily - I wouldn't say "easily", but these are soft core after all and will crumble a bit if you put much force on them. If you live in a warmer climate and lack air conditioning, you seriously may want to store them in the refrigerator before use - the wax medium will soften when it gets hot and that can lead to crumbling. That is true for all soft-core pencils, though, not just from this brand. -Try to avoid using automatic pencil sharpeners that don't have depth stops. Automatic pencil sharpeners are a great way to obliterate a large section of the pencil just because you need a sharp point for a small section. A hobby knife and some 300gt sandpaper also help form the tip how you need without a ton of waste. -I did end up purchasing additional singles at a local hobby store to make up gaps in the included color selection; it's a lot of pencils, but most of that arrangement is in the RGB space and not so much the lighter pigments. Overall - very happy with these, and for the few colors you may be missing, you can buy singles at most hobby stores for a few dollars. Seems really nice as a set to get your artist-grade pencil collection started.
