    I actually bought these before i watched this. I've colored with them and i got vibrant colors from them. I used a blender to get smooth blend and I'm pleased with how they colored. But trying to find a specific pencil is not easy! I think it's dumb to put number near the beginning of the pencil which will get sharpened away fairly quickly plus its nearly invisible so its almost pointless. I swatched mine and wrote ea color name instead of number and it took me days :) I hold mine in 2 cases that hold 260 pencils. Overall I'm glad i own them but i have to figure out how to get them more user friendly. Thinking about using them as 2 seperate sets rather than 1 giant and might take your idea and put permanent marker number at base. Great video! Thanks :)

    • @ColorfullyOptimistic
      @ColorfullyOptimistic  3 года назад +4

      Yeah the number stamped in the middle is rather silly. These do work well with the caran d'ache blender as I showed in my blend test, but with the Prismacolor one that color broke down way too fast. You could totally split them into two sets. With the colors soooo close, you wouldn't notice skips.

    • @sofiaw9571
      @sofiaw9571 2 года назад +4

      I have them too and i think they're better than the square ones. They're softer in my opinion, I get vibrant colors and they blend easy. But I bought them on AliExpress for about 80 $ I would not bought them if the price was so high as they are at Amazon.

      I have these and the square and the 120s, I prefer these as I always find they are smoother and blend better, the 120s would be my last choice of the 3, these would be first followed by the square. I only colour as a hobby so only do 3/4 pictures a week but I liked these so much I brought a second set from temu for less than half the price they are on amazon. Just annoyed I brought the shulanger 500 case and the ghastly thing fell apart within weeks so now have them split over two 300 cases.

    I bought these and I love them! I arranged mine in holders by colour family and swatched them all by colour. The only thing I hated was the almost invisible numbering o them. Took me forever to make my own swatch chart! I love how they colour and after making my own swatch it's less overwhelming to find my colour family and easier to find when I have each colour family in its own cup/holder. Nice vid!

Someone told me that these were the same pencil as Guang Hui, and that sold me as I love those. I'm hoping that this set will have all the colours of Prismacolor, so that I don't need to get a whole set of Prismas to join in the Prismacolor colour-alongs on RUclips.

    Wow what a large amount of pencils. My largest set are my 150 set of Prisma's. I have a lot of other brands in smaller sets. I agree that is impressive the pencils don't fall out of the box. Did you make those swatching sheets or did it come with the pencils. I don't think I would buy a big set, so I say right now.

      I personally do not use my 520s anymore. They are with my kids. I do, however, use my Black Widows frequently, but it is a preference really. 520 colors is just way too many colors, but they aren't awful pencils either.

      @shadowguard3578 3 года назад

      No not at this moment. I think hold off buying them. If 120 colors is enough for you, then 520 would be way too much. I watched one professional artist (I don’t remember their name) and she was saying many colors in a very large set of colored pencils aren’t going to be used and to stick to a smaller set of colored pencils. How many colors in your set of 120 have you used?

    I think it would only serve to add to my anxiety if I buy one of those haha.
    Too much choices, too much pencils, not enough time, not enough hours in a day, etc.
    It's like a lifetime supply of pencils!
    No thank you. I do have the round barrel 120 set because it was really cheap, but comparing the two you see very fast the the square set is really the best.
    So I'm kind of wishing I bought the square 120 set.
    But I think people meant that the 520 BRUT set numbers are identical to the 180 round barrel set, not the square set.
    Anyway thanks for the review!

      Hey Luna, actually I had people asking if they were the same as the 120 squares, which is why I had addressed it. Now, the original (not dipped ends) 180 set do line up, but that's because they all come from this set. However, a lot of people were confusing the squares and these as one in the same - thinking the squares were created from this set.
      It is an enormous amount of pencils - by far the most ridiculous thing I've ever bought lol.
