What people also should know that fabergold are wax base pencils like prisma colors and the polychromos are oilbase. I really like both sets of Faber. Thank you for the chart.
A colour pencil is NOT just oil based or wax based. Each colour pencils has AT LEAST have some wax, oil and other pigments. However, the thing that determines the lead hardness and base is how much of the ingredients has been used, if you're a coloured pencil pro like you know the most hard pencils are from wax, not oil. Also, Prismacolor Premier Soft Core is kinda bad compared to other brands like Caran d'Ache Luminance and Derwent Lightfast. But of course, every brand and line is different so you need multiple sets to achieve every feature.
Thank you for the review. I'm looking to purchase them because the distributors are putting the smaller sets on discount. They look very nice in your swatches.
Hi 👋 Are either of the Gold Fabers (normal and/or watercolour) a bit softer than the Polychromos? Also, the colours seem to look a bit more vibrant, especially on the Black paper. So yeah, are the Gold Fabers softer and a bit more vibrant in colour than the Polychromos?
They're a mix of wax and oil and other pigments, with wax being more preponderant, and a coherent hardness thats firm but creamy and not too soft. Probably something similar with Aqua. I have only tries their Aqua's for a decent set to check out water-soluble pencils after a long time and they're really good, close to professional I must say, after trying high end products like Albrecht Dürer, Museum Aquarelle and Inktense. For short: Theres not much difference of hardness between 'Polychromos and Albrecht Dürer' and 'Goldfaber and Goldfaber Aqua' expect for their textures, but Goldfaber's are a bit soft, and that difference is not much. The textures are more important than the leads hardness in coloured pencils.
I know that this is Faber-Castell and not Eberhard Faber, but I want to warn people anyway. I got a box of standard Eberhard Faber pencils. They are hexagon shaped. Many amazing colors. But they are very difficult to draw with. Feels like Crayola.
Eberhard Faber is officially a part of Faber-Castell's for today but I heard Faber-Castell doesn't control the products at all, and believe me, don't use them again. That brand is just for the name of the Faber-Castell family and it has been always a side-brand, both for Staedtler and Faber-Castell. (If you don't know, Faber-Castell bought the companies rights from Staedtler about 10 or 20 years ago after years of being apart.)
@@JayromsColorfulArts It's not sponsored, and I can't believe you have the audacity to say that they're not as good as Crayola. They're literally better than Crayola's High End Coloured Pencils. Crayola's lack the pigment and not as bright as it seems, plus they feel weird and waxy. Yes, I'm not American or near that region but I love Crayola's, everything expect their coloured pencils, sorry for apologizing.

It could be the paper I was using but I can check.
@@JennysCrayonCollection Thank you! I'd be very grateful for that!! 👍

That is so disappointing!

I signed up but not able to locate the swatch shart for the regular Goldfaber pencils.
I will look for you
Niceful
Thanks!
What an 'adorableful' word!
WHHHAAAAAAT???!!! 😦 I don’t like those Goldfabers. I never see them before.
They are super nice. :)
@@JennysCrayonCollection Wait for a second. They are less nicer than Crayola.
Why this video is including paid promotion? Is there a video that was sponsored by?
