Faber Castell Polychromos are on sale right now at Jacksons. They're soft and lightfast, which is super important for me. Prismacolor are not great on lightfastness unfortunately. Derwent drawing is quite a lovely pencil too. The colours you've bought are gorgeous Gemma x Nell. Gorgeous cactus! 💚
I have a small set and for they are all right, the def do blend nicely but I will stick with my polychromos or I might try the Derwent lightfast pencils if I ever get the cash lol
Pencils are often over inflated in price when they're first released, it takes a while for them to settle down to their actual true value. £2.10 pp for these pencils is insane!

Thanks for sharing, I am a huge fan of Polychromos! :) Thanks Nell!
gorgeous cactus, cant say I've ever used these derwents but you definitely convinced me to give them a shot ❤❤
Thank you 🥰 I hope you enjoy them!
I also enjoy those. The "just having fun" factor was up there.

The lightfast pencils are very nice, I bought some open stock and will add to them over time. They're pricey though!
Thank you for the review!
🥰 you're welcome
Bought a set of 72 at Christmas also bought a set of 100Inktense, lightfast pencils didn't get much change from a thousand dollars.
What is your no.1 Favourite pencils?
I love the Faber Castell Polychromos! What are your favourites?
The original prices of these as open stock were not far off the lightfast at £2.10 pp, so I wouldn't agree that these are student grade at all.

I just paid $60 usd on Amazon for 72! Great bargain
