Black Lead/Black Wood...Ya'll knew what I meant I'm sure
These are being delivered tomorrow. I, too, love the fact that they now have color numbers! They are just so gorgeous looking.
Oh I hope you enjoy them!
Wow I’m listening/watching while working, and every time I glance down to check progress I am totally wowed by the colors. I am trying to find a balanced pastel colored set and so glad I found your channel. ❤ definitely want these indra!
Oh these are super fun! I definitely recommend them
Ok, I think it’s time for the ‘battle of the pastels’!! Haha.
Dunno how much of a battle it would be. Most of the colors (and amongst some even the names lol) would be the same, but still a fun comparison in perhaps their feel and abilities.
That is a beautiful set of pencils will be nice to see you color a page with them ❤️
Yesss!
Yes, I definitely plan to. Maybe that's what I'll do for this week's stream...hmm
Beautiful!😊🌟💞 thank you for the indebth review! I love listening and watching it all. 😌 iv been on a search for every pastel colored pencil I can find .
Haha well you're in luck there are plenty nowadays!
They ARE gorgeous pencils just to look at. Thanks for the swatch and your review of them. I know you will Really know what you think once you color a page with them. Looking forward to seeing you do just that! ...👍🙋
Oh yes, already started a page and love em!
Ok, you sold me on them…ordered. I love these colors and I look forward to playing with them. Thanks for the review. 💜
Haha I hope you like them! 💜
purchased before you were done swatching LOL and I have a bunch of other sets as well 😁 thanks for sharing 🤨🤣 cant wait for the coloring video. Love all your videos.
There's something about collecting pastel colored pencils. I dunno, they're just so cute.
What stunning pencils!
They are just adorable.
Oh I'm so excited about this set of pencils! I trust your opinion on products and its definitely going on my list! Thanks for sharing as always with us! Your the best! Hope your daughter is all better now. I'm behind on yt videos 😞 and haven't been able to catch the lives. Thanks again for everything you do for us💞💞💞💞
Awe thank you. She is doing better! I def need to do a color and chat catch up
Mine will be here on Friday! I can’t wait! I love the colors so pretty! They really do look like candy!
Ooooh I hope you like them!
I am tempted by this set, my main pencils for my portrait art are Polychromos but these would be lovely for adding accents and touches of variation in skin tones.
Oooh yes they would!
Cant wait to see what you color with them. I've used my 36 set in an Eriy book and they do well.
Ooooh I'll have to try them on Eriy paper!
Beautiful colors. 👍💛
I agree! So lovely
These are just gorgeous!
They make me smile every time I open the tin. Soooo gorgeous
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I should be getting their regular pencils set today and now I need to order this set even tho I have the smaller set. I've been enabled! 😆
I have been wanting to purchase a set of pastel pencils but I have the full set of Holbien. Watching your review today I immediately ordered the Indra set. Looking forward to swatching and using them.
Ooooh I hope you enjoy these!
The greens and blues 😍😍😍
Right? There are soooo many.
Beautiful colors
They are! I really like them.
I just checked and it looks like all of the Indra creative pencils have a number ring system on them now. Very excited! Thanks for the video :) I'm already shopping lol
Oh I'm so happy they have added numbers to them all. My old sets were such a pain without numbers.
I’m sitting here waiting for the Amazon truck to bring mine, so glad to hear they’re good pencils and not just aesthetically appealing.
Ooooh I hope you like them! They are so lovely
@@ColorfullyOptimistic Swatching them was a wonderful experience! I think I said “Oooh” every single time I used a new color because they were all so smooth! Even Luminance has that scratchy cassel earth pencil.😂
Wow they look gorgeous
Right? That black wood makes them pop!
I’m also on a pastel kick and I love pink, it’s my favorite color. I wanted to get the Holbeins but I couldn’t fit them in my budget this month but these I can definitely manage. I’m heading over to Amazon right now to get them (I’ll use your affiliate link). Thank you and I can’t wait to see you color with them in your next video, I’ll be following along! God bless 🙏🏻
I would get a few open stock Holbein and make sure you even like how they perform. They are a different style of pencil for sure.
they do look absolutely beautiful! I haven't been able to find them over here, which is maybe for the best. I don't need more pastel pencils but if I could get these, I would
Interesting! They should be available out there.
I bought these pencils, mostly on impulse and because of the friendly price. I was pleasantly surprised and use them frequently.
They were super cheap, I have to agree with you there.
I am going to get this set
The way I am planning on using it is along with other non pastel only sets
That have complete color ranges . The fact is that no matter which set of pencils you use there are seldom enough choices of the really light, soft pastel shades . Thanks for this great video.
It's true. While a lot of sets have some pastel/light tints, they don't have as many as these pastel sets.
Thanks Kori!
Of course!
I want these! I like the smaller set, and I agree that they are softer and creamier than the Astra Lowes. I like the slight variation in the colors.
Yeah I Just didn't have a great experience with Astra, but I know others find them super smooth so sometimes I wonder if I got a crappy batch? I dunno
This set does look the most useful and well curated to find gradients and play with light
Yes, I really liked how they had the bolder colors mixed in so that it could be a single set you grabbed for.
These just arrived today. They're beautiful. The quality is what you'd expect from a low-cost item--so it's pretty much a case of "you get what you pay for." I do love the colors and totally love the square shape. So much nicer to use than a rounded pencil. I can see these as fill-ins when I need a color I don't have from another set. The overall experience in using them is so-so. They don't have the smooth, creamy feel of a high-grade pencil. Still, I'm happy with them and they were a pleasant surprise.
They are definitely a budget pencil, but one I think is worth it. I really enjoy them and the pastel colors against the black wood is just sooooo beautiful
I looked on Amazon UK for them but they are so expensive £85, think I need to put them on my wish list, lovely video xxx
Oh gosh yeah that's not worth it for out there.
Me too. They were in my cart in the 1st 5 mins & they will be here tomorrow between 4am-8am! That's before anyone gets up so I won't need an explanation lol! The black really does sell them tho! Thanks for your review.
LOL I really hope you enjoy them!
Oh gosh. I ordered them with your link at the start of the video. I get them tomorrow. 😊💕
Whoa fast shipping lol. I had to wait 3 days for mine
I’m jealous! Mine will come on Sunday and I ordered them an hour before you! lol. You must be closer to their shipping center!
@@anniemonroe9285 I may be close to a shipping center. I’m in Miami. They are actually coming between 8 and 11 am. I ordered white and black paint pens the other day and they came overnight too.
My favorites!!
They really are awesome!
I heard limited edition and I couldn’t resist.
I know, I'm tempted to buy a second set in case that limited means no more sometime soon ha
These are so pretty! 🥰✨💖
Btw, every single time I watch your videos I’m always trying to rack my brain with who your voice sounds like and it’s so familiar and yet I couldn’t put my finger on it until right now! Renee Zellweger!
Haha I've never heard that before! But, I'll definitely take it :)
I love the Marco pastel pencils. They are very soft. I think you have those too.🙂
I think so...but now I'm not sure...uh oh
Mine is on its way to australia, Cant wait for them to arrive.
Ooooh how long does it take to get there?
I too had to have the 72 set. I just received mine a couple of days ago. I had the 36 set and loved them. I watched your review on the 72 set and had to purchase them LOL. So thanks for forcing me to buy another set 😂 my husband appreciated it very much lmao. I totally blamed it all on you lol 😂 😂
I'm willing to take the blame haha
Same here...my husband said...go ahead so I did.
Just bought the Brutfuner set of 50 pastels also...these just look like a more vibrant pastel so I added them too.
Lol. I am just like that. Can't get enough of Pastel colored pencils. Have a whole lot of them. I don't have 72 but have 36 Indra and do not have. Kalour or Bruntfuner. But I will get them. Love all Pastel colors
I think I could say I'm definitely addicted to the sets - even when I know the colors won't change haha
Thanks for the wonderful review and swatching! I love coloring in my adult coloring books and have wanted lighter pastel colors, I think this set will be perfect. I’ve ordered a set through you link and will have them next week. I am wondering if they need a special sharpener due to their shape? What do you use? Take care and thanks again!
I use a Jarlink and Afmat and they fit in there just fine :)
That didn't take long, thank you!
Yes, I was very excited to play with these!
Just got them.
Ooooh I hope you enjoy!
Interesting video about pastel pencils...
These were really fun
Astra pencils are scratchy to me too…now i need another pencil set lol
Yeah see mine were scratchy.
Just got them!!
Awesome! What you think?
@@ColorfullyOptimistic well just ordered they will be delivered today.
Nice set, I put all my pastel sets into one big case. I’m finding that I don’t reach for it very much because it’s big and heavy. So I’m thinking this would be the perfect size set. I wish that there would be a few light browns included (I know, not a pastel color!) but I need browns to color trees😬.
Yeah I too have a big case, but now I need to upgrade to a bigger one to add these and those Kalours lol. I totally agree a few light browns should be mixed in, but I think these manufacturers are worried about the "look" on the palette even though we all want those pencils.
They could definitely tone down some browns and add them to these sets. I think they are just sticking to the "macaron" theme, which is more colorful, bright, bouncy
I’m watching this video on 7 Sep 23 and have just checked on Amazon and they’ve got them but only 3 sets left. Might soon just be 2 as I think I’ve got to get them! Don’t need them but they are such a nice looking set. With budget sets (although at £62 not that budget) you can’t replace with open stock so the more you have the longer each set will last because you are not using them as much. I think that makes some kind of sense!
They go out of stock but they come back. It's a popular set
I love mine also. Went to order another set and Amazon was sold out!
Oh no! Hope they weren't taking that "Limited Edition" to heart ha
Hi Kori, since I already have the full set of Holbein pencils, do I really need this 72 Indra set… Thank you so much for your review, excellent as always!
No. If you like the holbein then you're covered. These are just a fun budget set
@@ColorfullyOptimistic Thank you Kori, I thought so.
In some research that I did I found out that the macaron colors are not the same as a pastel color. You will get the pastel colors in that set but you will also get the light end of mid-range. Just an interesting tidbit that I found. Happy coloring!
It is probably best that way, since a true pastel-only set would not give you much.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic because of this video I bought the regular macaron set as well as the Morandi set and I felt so in love with them that my 72 set is arriving this evening lol. Thank you for this recommendation I am a professional artist and I really wish that these were artist grade because they have such a wonderful feel on every page I've put them on although I have not tried them in a Kerby
@@ArtandDiamondsWithEskies awe I'm so happy to hear that! I too wish they were artist grade but at least they're fun to use
This brand is likely to become the budget king soon. It's a nearshoring operation between China and Mexico, which means you get Chinese manufacture prices but also Mexican quality control filtering out most flukes.
Honestly, I don't mind this brand much.
Thank you for the review! Howuch did this set cost? Unfortunately, is not available on Amazon anymore!
They aren't out of stock. In fact, they are right here: amzn.to/4b4O5bD
Oooh! I was going to push the button on these until my price tracker app warned me that there was a sharp increase in the last 48 hours. (No doubt b/c of you.) I think that I'll wait and see if the come down.
LOL most likely. These did just come out, so there was a rush to buy them and that always drives it up, which sucks
These do look like nice pencils. In your opinion, which would be better, the Castle Arts or these Indra?
Well, to be honest, I really like the Castle Arts, BUT the price tag is not worth it. These lay down very smooth, and they are affordable.
What sharpener can you recommend for the square pencils?
I use the Dahle 133 and it has never let me down with square pencils. amzn.to/3PtJgAF
SOLD!!
LOL
Just wondering how do they compare with Black Widow pencils? There are a lot of pinks with those, lots of colours full stop. Before I run and buy these I would just like to know do you have Black Widows and are they comparable?
Yes, I have all of the BWs. So, you will have overlap in colors between this and the BWs if you have all of the BW sets. These are similar in hardness to the BWs as well to be honest. Although, they might be just a tiny bit softer.
A tin of delicious 😊😍😍😍😍
The best!
Hi Kori......tried listening while working remotely at home, but may have missed something here or there. Does this set seem to include the first 36 they had put out some time back? I'm thinking it must - for it would mean there'd be 108 diff pastel colors between the both sets, which is not likely. Can you let me know please.....
To me, it does look like the colors from the first set are in there, yes.
What do you think of their primary colored pencils set?
I haven't tried them to be honest, and not sure I'll buy them only because I have soooo many budget sets. If I get enough requests to review them, then I will.
I found this video, and saw they dont sell the Indra 72. Limited edition. I have Pastwlowe, Brutfuner and marco raffine, is there anywhwre that sells them? Or is there another brand similar thats as good?
They come in and out of stock. However, they did call them “limited edition” so they may not restock them. That said, I saw them there just the other week.
They've brought out a 36 morandi coloured set too....
I saw! I was tempted, but I have too many budget sets already lol
@@ColorfullyOptimistic tell me about it!! I'm trying to sit on my hands lol
Just got the morandi set today, and colored an Alphonse Mucha image. The color pallet was perfect for it. So I went looking for what others thought of them. Im loving the set even tho they dont layer too well. My luminance set is still my favorite.
Well, it took me t-minus 30 seconds to order these after watching this. Glad I saw this before they were gone!
Ooooh I hope you enjoy them!
Where can we get these in the UK? These look so nice!
Sadly, I don't think they have them in the UK :(.
🥺
The indra definitely had more true pastels than the Astra pastelowe at least. Decent for budget.
Oh yea for sure
I can't seem to find these :( im a total beginner and really love pastels. I own zero pencils but want to buy pastels as that's what I am most attracted to. I don't know where I can buy these if anyone knows please help.
It looks like they are currently out of stock/not available. They did call them limited edition, so maybe they were.
Arguably, though... Even the Holbein fifty set has a few that would make good midtones. Judging by swatches, anyway. I'm too poor for things like Holbein, Luminance, Lightfast. Lol
Haha very true on that. Though, I'm not the biggest Holbein fan. I know, I know...
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I tried a few open stock. Honestly, I I'm not impressed, especially for the price point.
Hello, are the colors the same tones than the 36 pastel pencil set?
Yes, there is overlap, only this set has more
@@ColorfullyOptimistic thanks 😁 i will buy the 72 set
they are pretty, i don"t own a pastel set.
I just love those black wooden barrels
Were these ‘oil’ pastel? Checked for them only found oil, Could be discontinued ?
Found my answer
Sorry. These are wax based
I just told myself last night, no more pencil sets! Ummmmm......maybe I just won't tell me when these show up. 😁
Just say starting....now after you open them lol
Did you swatch these in order of how it’s found in the box?
Just the order of the box
Are these still available to buy??Noticed your title says limited edition 😭💔
amzn.to/4b4O5bD yes they are right here
are you sure it is limited ?
LOL no clue. They put limited edition, but who knows if it really is. Manufacturers will use that word a lot.
Ugh, I didn’t want you to like these because I knew what that meant for me 😂😂
buahaha 💜
Why don't they have names😢?
These older ones dont, but the newer ones at least have numbers. Some companies, especially budget, don't' bother naming.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I can name at least 7 budget brands with names and only two have a pastel set only with 12 by Color pep's and 24 by Crayola.
