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!

I absolutely love these pencils and would definitely recommend them to anyone who has been using colored pencils for a while and wants to try something different. They have a harder lead than prismacolors and can be harder to blend since it takes more layers however they apply very smooth and beautifully. While prismacolors feel easier to use these polychromos look much better on paper in my opinion, than prismacolor. As someone whos been using prismacolor for years I really like and enjoy using the polychromos as well . I don’t know if I would say prisma is better or worse but the polychromos feel more professional, and they seem to produce smoother looking blends.

Chegou rápido e bem embalado, sem danos à latinha e aos lápis. Estes são um dos melhores lápis de cor do mercado, muito bem feitos, com cores vivas, macios e bem resistentes à pressão e à queda. Comprarei novamente.

Excelente calidad de los lápices de colores. Imposible comparar con los de base cera. Lo único malo es el precio tan elevado. Pero vale mucho la pena la inversión.

Order received on time, carefully packaged with extra protection to preserve this superb product in pristine condition. I am a big fan of FC Polychromos pencils, which are by far the best oil-based colored pencils out there. I was delighted to see that the metal tin containing this set of 60 pencils arrived without a dent, with all pencils in excellent condition. Kudos to the Seller!
