Derwent Procolour Pencils Set Of 72 In Tin, 4mm Round Core, Premium Core Strength, Smooth Texture, Ideal For Fine Art Drawing & Colouring, Professional Quality, 2302508

Good mix of pencil colours Really good set of pencils - allows for some nice drawings. Would recommend to others

I am not a professional artist but spend many hours doing art and craft. I wanted a better set of coloured pencils and after reading reviews on lots of different makes decided on the Derwent Procolour, as I have used Derwent graphite pencils for many years. I wasn't disappointed, they can both put down lots of colour and blend very easily. I have had no breaking leads and they sharpen to an excellent point. They arrived on time and come in a nice sturdy tin. My only niggle would be that both the inner plastic trays are damaged at the same end. The tin is in perfect condition so I can only assume they were damaged when being packed. I wouldn't have expected this from a company like Derwent. However the pencils are excellent and deserve 5 stars.

Sooo colourful, soft and waxy texture, you can shade easily with them, and you can blend the colours to make new colours, maybe a little expensive but they are quality I would still definitely recommend though

Great new range of pencils from Derwent . Good range of colours though personally I would like more greys. However they are very versatile and sharpen to a needle point without breakage, they are not dusty and they keep that point for ages. These pencils are softer to use than Derwent Artist range but harder than the Coloursoft. They would be a good choice for anyone wanting to start out with colour pencil. You can layer them and blend easily. Also it is important when starting out with pencils that you can buy individual colours to replace the shades you use up. Because these are Derwent made in the UK and distributed throughout the world you can always find somewhere to buy spares. You can rely on the quality and that is important.

I got smaller sets of prismas and polys and have been adding to them open stock. I bit the bullet with the procolours and bought the 72 set as it's not a huge number of pencils. Immediately I bought them I got buyer's remorse but am now happy to have bought them. They sit between prismas and polys. They won't give you the intense creaminess of prismas but neither will you get the waxy buildup so quickly. They don't have the same brightness as polys but they do some useful muted shades. For instance spruce green is a dull, dark grey green which I don't have already. They deposit pigment well and blend well. I think they blend better than polys. Maybe not as well as prismas. I've given four stars instead of five because I'm mean like that. I can't think of a real minus really. If you want to try one out first, I think some of the more unique colours are mars violet, spruce green, racing green, distant green, kingfisher blue, plum, autumn leaf, nutmeg, grape, EDIT: I find that I don't reach for this very often, mainly for the aforementioned blues and the lovely blue-greens. The laydown is too pale.

i absolutly adore the derwent procolour set i have just received . i tried the accademy range thinking there be a step up from the kiddy pencils i had that were forever breaking. wrong i found the accdemy pencils were hard going. that put me off derwent products. i then tried the coloursoft dewent pencils as couldnt afford to keep buying fabercastell poly crhomos or prisma colours . so thought id try derwent again after watching lots of mixed reaction reviews , i decided to get the pro colour 36 set. ( thanks to the amazon refund on a set which never should up i could afford to get procolour 36 set) well they came today my partner tried them out, im lucky to get the proclours back off my partner as he loves them so much he was very impressed . i think there fantastic, and im very impressed with how they work for some reason some reveiwers think they squeek. they do not squeek. no snaping points , like the coloursoft , faber castell polymoas or the prisma colour. were very pleased with them 10 /10

good

I was excited to get these pencils as I adore my derwent sketch books (never use anything else) and my graphic pencils. The first thing which was really disappointing is that I took the top layer out and the plastic broke as shown in the photo. I would have preferred two separate tins if you couldn't provide durable plastic. I had a commission so had to use them and I found them to be really hard and not even in temperament. Certain colours were much more yielding. They do not compare in any shape or form with Faber Castell PolyChromos which are far more responsive - I only have 36 of them though. There is a lovely range of colours but I can't say they are a pleasure to work with - they are literally and metaphorically hard work. I would prefer something softer that doesn't leave distinct lines on first stroke. I am really sad as I was so excited but maybe I will get used to them. I am very glad I didn't pay full price for them!

Wer bereits andere Derwent-Stiftesets besitzt, kennt in etwa so ungefähr die Qualität und natürlich auch Optik, die er zu erwarten hat. Auch die ProColour-Stifte bilden hier keine Ausnahme. Vom Härtegrad her liegen sie zwischen den Derwent Artists (hart) und Derwent Coloursoft (weich). Der Farbabrieb ist gut und die Farben leuchtend. Für Künstler wäre allerdings evtl. noch gut zu wissen, dass nicht alle Stifte lichtecht sind. Ich habe gelesen, dass nur 39 von 72 Stiften eine höhere bis hohe Lichtechtheit haben. Auch gehören offenbar z. B. sämtliche Violett-Töne nicht dazu. Da ich nicht als Künstlerin arbeite und auch keine Werke verkaufe, spielt das für mich allerdings weniger bis überhaupt keine Rolle und fließt somit auch nicht in meine Bewertung ein. Bisher bin ich mehr als zufrieden mit den Stiften

Im Vergleich zu den Coloursoft sind diese Stifte in einer Top- Qualität! Ich bin sehr zufrieden.

I bought these because an oil based pencil?? Perfect , smooth, bright colours. Really excited to see how these mix with other materials and hold up on their own. I haven't bought a good set of pencils (beyond cheap crayola) for ages and I am again reminded of the quality. Shipped nice and fast too!

Excelente produto mas muito caro! Presenteei minha netinha e ela adorou ! Lindíssima embalagem! Valeu!

The tin lid doesnt latch onto the box and falls off easily. The pencils are capable enough to produce magical results in the right hands.(If you know how to use them) *Note* Each type of pencil behaves differently and that doesnt make them good or bad..choose what fits your needs. They are somewhere in between soft and hard..Well pigmented and waxy. Have to disagree with the reviews that say they dont blend well. Ive added 8 to 10 layers(even after using oil to blend) and they still hold up pretty well. I can keep on adding layers they still keep doing their job. Im a beginner-intermediate and they offer way more than my skill can handle. Go for it!
