Nhewyt –
These are by far – IMO – the easiest to work with colored pencils so far as smooth lay down, blending and burnishing using only the pencils themselves and no other tool such as a colorless blending pencil. I pretty much knew this when I started out on a campaign to test some of the “new” brands hitting the market and compare them to my old favorites. I have attached a comparison picture so you can see for yourself how the Polychromos perform next to two other top brands and three off brands. Interestingly enough, although they do – again IMO – look somewhat better, over all the differences in the brands of pencils are not so much in the results as in how difficult it is to get them. I used a similar quick eye sketch for each type and did my best to match the color quality from brand to brand. For the Polychromos the effort to get quality and intensity was very minimal, with varying degrees of difficulty getting the other pencils to perform in a similar fashion.
I also wish to highlight the fact that although my previous Polychromos were purchased well over 10 years ago, the quality of this new set is unchanged. Not always something that you see in this day and age where every company is trying to implement cost savings which ultimately result in a lower quality product. Kudos to Faber-Castel for holding their production standards high!
