100 color paper box-set Holbein colored pencil (japan import)

I have many sets, different brands, of professional level colored pencils. A friend recommended Holbein but they are very hard to get in the US. When I saw these were available through Amazon UK I bit the $bullet and bought them. It took a month to get here from Japan due to extra time in customs. I love these, they are soft, creamy, layer beautifully and there are so many beautiful colors. They sharpen to a fine point very well; however, since they are on the soft side they dull faster. I especially like their white for blending and burnishing. They are worth the money if you already have the basics like Polychromos and Prismacolors. I do a lot of floral drawing and use mostly Pastelmat. These do very well with that paper, and do take OMS well for blending. Highly recommend these beautiful pencils.

These are incredible quality colored pencils. I'm obsessed!!! So glad I got them, seriously the only pencils I need. Outstanding colour selection. Wonderful soft buttery texture. Blend well. The package arrived before the estimated time and arrived intact, wrapped tightly enough to keep all these precious beauties safe and sound.

Beautiful set of Holbein pencils ......excellent service from the seller and mega fast delivery from Japan....would highly reccomend this seller...i just bought the 100 set and it has every colour you could wish for plus the soft white,pastels,matalics and florecents also a good collection of bright colours .......absolute bargain......happy shopping..Ann

My pencils arrived earlier than stated which is a bonus they are beautiful I love the pastel colours I have various sets of pencils and don't have any of those pastel coloursI have knocked of 1 star as the cherry blossom pencils was broke and everytime I've sharpened it its just broke so I can't use that one so I have 99 pencils instead of 100the colour lay down is nice

Lovely range of colours. Not used them yet

These are top notch. Blend beautifully, sharpen no problem. No breaks experienced. Great range of vibrant colours that lay down good colour without pressure. Myhand and arm no longer ache after using them for a while. Only slight downside is a limited choice of browns. However that colour of s easy to create. They are light fast. I love them.

Yes, these are beautiful and outstanding in every sense - apart from the price of course. I daren't use them - special occasions only, so I've always got a beautiful and achievable experience to look forward to!

Perfect

Die Bleistifte sind klasse. Tolle Farbe, viele Pastellfarben. Ich bin zehr zufrieden.

Je ne regrette pas du tout cet achat, au contraire, pour les 100, vous avez un rack de couleurs plutôt classiques et un rack entier de couleurs plutôt pastels, de vraies pépites, le nuancier est magnifique. Ces crayons sont de très bonne qualité, ils sont bien crémeux mais ne s'écrasent pas ou ne s'effritent pas. Les dégradés sont très faciles à obtenir. Je les adore.

Son un sueño de colores, los tonos pastel son sencillamente maravillosos, vienen dos bandejas que son de cartón duro con dos asideros de tela para sacar las bandejas cómodamente.Son tan suaves cuando pintas con ellos, un simple trazo deja muchísimo pigmento pero no sueltan polvillo al pintar, de verdad son los colores mas suaves que he probado.Cada bandeja va protegida con una lamina fina como se aprecia en las fotos, como no había ninguna reseña de esta caja de 100 colores y estoy segura que antes de gastar tanto dinero la gente quiere ver los colores he puesto mas de una foto y una hoja probando los colores "color chart".Han sido un regalo de cumpleaños y el envio llegó justo un dia antes de mi cumpleaños.La caja viene dentro de otra caja de plastico duro.

Arrived early and no damage.Expensive pencils for beginners. But the quality is good.Soft and creamy with high pigment pay off.Layers like a dream.

Très beaux crayons , qualité irréprochable, la mine est solide, les pigments sont beaux ne saturent pas le papier, le couche par couche est nécessaire pour obtenir de jolis dégradés ! Dommage qu’ils ne se vendent pas à l’unité !
