- I've just got these Faber Castell Black Edition 100 pack pencils from Amazon Germany for use in my Adult Colouring. I thought I'd share my first thoughts about them, I haven't used them yet in a full colouring, so its by no means a really good try out with these yet, but this is my first impression and comparisons with something else I have. So far I think these are a great starter set to try, with a good colour range and they seem to be pretty sturdy pencil.
Do you have these? what are your thoughts?
Thanks so much for watching,
Best Wishes

![NEW Faber-Castell BLACK EDITION Colored Pencils [Unboxing & Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/58sXEmwyzDI/mqdefault.jpg)
Hi Wendy! I am from Brazil and here the name is Faber-Castell Supersoft. The box is the same and it seems that the color palette is the same too. The shape here is rounded and they are really soft (not as the Primas, but really soft) We don’t like this box as well and I put them in another case. In Brazil they exist for a while and 99% of the colorists here love those pencils 😊. As a success here I think they start to send to other countries with some small differences. But, in fact, it is necessary to learn how to deal with them and how to layer/blend them. They go very well with most types of paper and they are perfect in black paper too. Well, I am a little suspicious because I love them 😂. Thank you for your videos!
Thanks Carolina, I think I'd have preferred round bodies, I wonder why they changed it for other countries? I don't think mine are really soft, so perhaps they changed more than the shape, but they are nice for the money. I totally agree I think I need to play with these more to learn what works with them, but I was thinking layering was they way to go, and perhaps a more textured paper. Thanks for telling me more about them, really interesting, Thanks so much for giving it a watch, x👍❤️
@@wendyscolouring I am Brazilian too and here we have Tris Vibes and I think is more soft than SuperSoft, but is more expensive (24 colors = $10,63 while that of Supersoft is $8,83 for 24 colors) and is my fav pencil colors
Loved seeing this. I have the 50 set and wanted the larger set. They do layer really nicely and i really like them on amazon paper.
Thanks Pixie, x I need to play with them more, I'll definitely give them a try on Amazon paper, I was thinking perhaps something a bit more textured was they way to go👍
I forgot to say, I love them on Johanna Basford paper, and Amazon print as well. I guess I really like them lol
Perhaps better on something with a bit of texture then? I'll have to give it a try, x👍
Just got them too, can't wait to try them out ^^ I really liked the smaller set of 36
Yay! enjoy them, 👍 I need to get a case for them, the box is driving me nuts! 😁
@@wendyscolouring oh yeah... I dropped a bunch just as I opened it xDD
@@ryou63 Oh nooo! Ouch! 🫤
I bought the 50 for £16 on a deal and the 12 neon and pastel small set for £6.75 from Amazon UK yesterday and they arrived today. The 100 set is on there for £49 at the moment. I haven’t swatched them yet but they looked reasonably good for the price when I had a scribble. Couldn’t get a brilliant blend though.
Yes I see they have more stock again now, I think for the price they are great buy. No i've struggled with a blend, I think you can probably get a layered blend, but they won't blend like something softer would I don't think. 👍❤️
I’m going to buy the 100 set because they feel strong, no breakages at all and best of all they remind me of Mitsubishi Posca pencils, so they’ll fill my need for more Posca.
HIya, oh good I'm glad you like them, they are harder than the Posca pencils, but they are a good buy for the price. Posca don''t seem to be making a wider range of the posca pencil do they, I had hoped they would add to them. 👍🫶🏻
I use black edition they are really good. I really recommend try and you see how it works.
Yes I think they are good, I need to have a play a bit more with them I think, still think they are a good buy👍🫶🏻
Hi Wendy. On screen they look OK and with the name Faber Castell on them I would hope they would be OK as a starter set. Thank you for the show and tell.
They are pretty good I think for the money, Defo great as a starter set, 👍🫶🏻
The 100 set only ever got introduced here in Germany like a few months ago - the South Americas got them longer, though, if I remember right 😁
Yes, I bought mine from Germany, as they were out of stock at the time, 👍 They are made in Brazil, so I think thats why they have them first, x
I felt the same with my Faber Castell Eco: they layer, but they don't blend. You need like 20 super light layers in order to make them blend well.
Thanks for sharing, Wendy!
Thanks Luna, I don't mind layering sometimes, it just takes a bit longer doesn't it. They are good colours, Thanks for watching me, x 👍
Oil pencils don't blend period, they layer. Even the professional set Poly Chromos doesn't blend. I don't need 20 layers either. Blending and layering are two different techniques
They've got this set on Amazon UK now because colouring with K bought some and told me about them, so I've added them to my wishlist xxx
Yes, I've added the link for them, I filmed this over a week ago, (School is busy, exam season) and at the time they were out of stock on Uk, hence why I ordered from Germany) but I can see they have restocked, so I've added the link. They are a good cheaper buy, I need to try them on different surfaces, i'm thinking they will perhaps be better on something with a bit more texture, judging by other folks comments, x Hope you are good, x 👍💗🫶🏻
Yes £49 on Uk site now, just orered a set as had the little set ages ago and quite liked them. As a heads up did people know there is a new Kameliya Angelkova has a new one out 50 Mythical Miniatures out ❤❤
@@yvonnewest3132 Yes I did notice, I sadly haven't coloured in my last one, (woodland Miniatures) so I can't buy another one yet, I've also got Farmyard animals that I haven't coloured yet as well. I wish these were in the small book size, I think they would work well like that, and be a bit quicker to colour. The new one does look good though, I was very tempted, x 👍
If you want to know the names of the colors to match the numbers, Faber Castell has them on their website. Just pick the product, and look in the description and they list the names.
Ok, right I'll have to have a look, x Thanks, x👍
I love faber castell but not sure I would get them now I’ve watched you with them I have all the others and have 36 set of the blacks not use them much xx but will have a go xx
I'm in mixed minds with these yet, I think I need to try to use them some more, I'm curious whether they will be ok on Amazon paper, I think I need to try them more next month. I been busy playing with the Kalour's, and these have been left. They are cheap enough, (Here in the UK) but for £10 more Ive got the 300 Kalours, so I'm not sure whether these are a good buy really. More effort needed with them on my part I think. 👍
Thanks for your Review :) is the skin tone Set Part of the 100 Set?
Hiya, Glad it was useful. Apparently only half of the skin tone set is in this set, (which does seem a bit odd?) I've got the missing ones on order to add to these, as skin tones are quite important. xx👍
Omg I love the black edition pencils, I only have the 50 set ,I'm in USA, can't find the 100 set on Amazon us, I use mine with my chromaflow pencils! Can't wait to see all the other colors❤ I paid 25$ for 50
Oh how odd, Normally you get stuff like this before us here in the UK, You can order from the Uk site, but I'm guessing the postage cost will make it far too pricey. Hopefully they will pop up on the US site soon, 🤞💗
We have them on Amazon here in the US now, as long as you don’t mind paying $100 for the entire set. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@tiabeaniesemotionalsupportdmon I can't find them, I will look again , thanks for letting me know!
Hi Wendy, great video. I was wondering how you think they compare to the Black Widow pencils? I have neither, although I do have some prismas.
Hi, Overall I think the Black widows are a nicer pencil, but Black widows are much more expensive if you want them 100 of them, as you have to buy multiple tins. . So it depends how much you want to spend. I think the Black widows are also a little harder leads, than these, but they are smoother finish on the paper once down. Personally, I think I prefer the black widow, but I haven't used these a huge about other than small tests, so perhaps I'm being unfair to them.
@@wendyscolouring Thanks Wendy, I appreciate your thoughts on both pencils :)
I have a smaller set and love them, I have looked for the larger set but haven’t found it yet, I am In Australia. Have you got a buzzing fan going?
🤞Hopefully the larger set will pop up soon for you all In Australia, they have taken a while to arrive in the Uk, so clearly they are starting to expand where they are selling. No I don't have a fan going, I'm wondering if its some kind of feedback from my mic, as I do know what you mean, its only noticeable when its very quiet, but I do need to try and get to the bottom of it, or talk more!😆 Sorry if its annoying you, x
They seem really nice
Yes for the money, I think they are a good buy, x 👍
Finally got around to opening mine and putting them in a case, drove me potty looking for the numbers because there is no rhyme or reason to them😢😢😢 now need to use them. Are they real fc?? Not a clue but cheap and cheerful all the same.
HIya Kath, I'm still undecided on which case to put these in, Shall I put them with something else, ( which set?) or keep them in a case on there own. They are driving me nuts on my desk, I'm always knocking the daft packaging over. I'm thinking perhaps they should be in a case with my 100 Crayola, although I think they are better than those. One day they will find their home!🤣 I think they are real Faber, but they are a student grade type product, They great value for the money either way. 👍
Here in America on Amazon they are $99. I considered it but there are so many others I could get for that price! But someday if the price goes down a bit, thank you for sharing though😉😃
HIya, yes a few people have commented on the prices in the States, its odd isn't it, surely it would be easier and cheaper to ship from Brazil where they are made to you folks. I was thinking we would get them after you, I'm sure they will make there way to you all cheaper in the end. 🤞
I’m sure it will all work out! So hard to be patient sometimes!🤣🤣🤣 it’s not like I have nothing to color with I shouldn’t complain really. Kind of an addiction really, all the coloring stuff!
Bought a set of 100 black edition cost $80Ausy dollars still have to use them.
Wendy are they wax or oil pencils?
I would say they are more wax based as they are a bit softer, but most pencils have a bit of both. 👍
Have just ordered the 100 set in a tin from Cass Art for a bargain and they don't fall out constantly
I've just ordered the 100 in a tin from cass art too. They had the cardboard wallet for £31 at Amazon which would have arrived tomorrow, but seeing as I do like my tins, I went for the 100 tin at cass art for £39.95 in the end although it will take longer. I only ordered it yesterday so I can't wait for them to arrive.
Skintones and neon and pastel are available separately.
The Pastel and Neons are in this set, but only half of the skin tones, which seems a bit odd. I've just ordered this separately, x 👍
You sure there where only the half of the skin tones?? According to Dutch websites the whole skin tone set should be part of the 100 black edition set.
And you have really a lot of those brown shades.
I was wondering though, because i Am considering to buy this set. Are there any dark reds?? Like real bordeaux/wine reds??
I have a 72 set of a Dutch brand, and those are always the colors i miss the most.
Did you know the black edition was created for coloring on black paper? I want to know how it will do on grayscale.
Well I didn't know specifically, but I had heard they were supposed to be good on other coloured papers. Do you mean how well it will cover on a grey coloured paper? I would have thought most colours will be good, they will be a bit more muted than on a white paper, but you can see the colours, unlike a lot of other brand of pencils. 👍
@@wendyscolouring No…on grayscale coloring pages. Sometimes it’s difficult to find a good white shade to cover over the grey in greyscale.
The only color pencils I use and the only sketching pencils my husband use
I still need to use these more, I bought a case for them, and just haven't had time to organise them and play. I'm thinking they should be ok on amazon paper? 🫰
My 12 set comes in a tin and there are no numbers on the pencils.
Oh right, interesting, although no numbers is a bit annoying. 👍
I have been in contact with Faber-castell customer support services. They told me that there is not a 100 set Black Edition available. Anything you find is from a third party supplier and not guaranteed by Faber-castell. Sorry for the bad news. Please don't kill the messenger!
Hi Julia, Thanks for letting me know, I'm not too worried, they were a fairly cheap buy, so I wasn't expecting anything amazing. Mine seem in good condition, so I think I'll get my moneys worth from them. Funnily enough mine have come from Germany. They are made in Brazil though, so who knows. A nice lady from Brazil did tell me that the Black edition sold in Brazil have a different shaped barrel, and that these ones are made to shipped abroad. They certainly are a bit of a secretive pencil!👍🫶🏻
Faber-Castell Germany has the 100 Black Edition on their website for sale, €55.00. Are they selling a third party product on their website and don’t know about its existence? Strange.
You should try and sharpen first…..might have a coating that won’t let you blend.
I did sharpen them all before I swatched them, I'm thinking they perhaps need some paper that has more texture, curious to see how they are on Amazon paper. 👍 I'm used to something much softer, so I'm also thinking it's a learning curve with what will work with them technique wise.
I love these pencils they are just a little less pigmented and slightly harder than Prisma color but heck for the price you would expect crayons qaulity
Oh yes I totally agree, for the money they are a great buy!👍🫶🏻
They are fine for practicing, I like them for the price. Compared to more expensive and better pencils, the difference is the colour pigment. They look washed like any other cheap pencil, as it should
Yes, I agree, they are good buy, but they are a bit light. 👍
@@wendyscolouring ye i agree
