SUDEE STILE 120 Unique Colors Pack (No Duplicates) Art Drawing Colored Pencils Set

I really enjoyed using these pencils. The colors are brilliant and blend and layer easily. I must have over fifteen brands of colored pencils ranging from the more expensive brands including prismacolors, lyra, derwent, to the more economical brands like crayola. This set of 120 pencils is a great value at less than $21 and compare very well to the more expensive brands. The pencils arrived packaged in a clear plastic cylinder with a piece of foam at the top to protect the tips. The colors are as vibrant as the prismacolors but not quite as soft. I would buy these again over the prismacolors. The price for this pack of 120 quality, and they really are a quality colored pencils, make them an excellent choice. The Sudee Stile 120 pack gives you a great range of colors to chose from. The Sudee Stile pencils are available in 48, 96, and 120. The pencils do not have names but are numbered. I am including a picture of a coloring page I did using only the Sudee Stile pencils. The colors are so vivid when you see the coloring page in person the basket and the bow look like they were done with alcohol markers. I highly recommend these pencils. If you are unsure try the set of 48 they can be found on Amazon for under $10 but you will want the set of 120.

I purchased the 150 count set to color and draw with after owning the 120 count colored barrel set. These pencils are packaged really well, they come with an outer cardboard box that holds the main box of pencils inside. The box holding the pencils is heavy laminated style cardboard, the box is not hinged but merely has a lid on the bottom box. The pencils are stored in 3 plastic trays, the top tray also contains 2 plastic sharpeners with metal blades.While others complained of an odor being strong from the lacquered paint on the barrels I did not find this to be the case, there was a slight odor but it was not overly pungent.The pencils are all numbered from 1 - 150 and are in the same order of color as the previous 120 older tub set which is a different listing completely. The leads of this set is soft and are wax based but not as soft as Prisma or Colore' but they are softer and more rich than Marco Raffiene pencils.Before coloring in a book with them I created a swatch sheet for them on artists grade art paper with a slight tooth and these layed down quite well and were rich in color overall, they also layered fairly and blended decently and I did not have to apply a heavy amount of pressure to produce good color results. On smooth paper, such as smooth cardstock, the color isn't as vibrant but is still better than many other brands.So far I had no issues with lead breakage and only 2 pencils had a slight chip in the tip upon arrival.If you are comparing these to the older pencils you will find there are at least 5 colors are completely or significantly different in color in addition to getting another 30 new colors. The new colors are primarily oranges, purples and pinks, with fewer browns as well as greens. There are a few pencils that I found are nearly identical in hue to the next pencil, so close that it was hard to tell one pencil from the next.In general I do recommend these for coloring or artist grade art work and are of great value. While these will not replace PrismaColor pencils as they appear to be about 2 to 3 grades down, they are a budget friendly alternative.

If you enjoy freehand drawing (or even the adult coloring books), I think you'll find these to be some wonderful pencils! Here's what I really like about them:- 120 pencils, so you can easily find a color that matches your drawing / coloring needs.- Quality, rich pigments are used with these pencils, so you can get bright colors on the page.- They blend nicely together, so you can overlay color to create new hues.- They do erase nicely from the page without creating colored "smears" on the paper.- Comfortable to hold and use over a period of time.- The cores are a good balance between soft and hard. Soft enough that you can easily apply color, but hard enough that the pencil doesn't magically "disappear" before your eyes with just a small amount of drawing.What I wish was different:- The plastic container has a chemical smell to it. (Remove the pencils and that quickly disappears.)- There are so many pencils, you really do need a coloring pencil container to keep them organized.- They don't react well to blending chemicals (such as Gamsol or paint thinner), which allow for a polished, smoothing application of color.Overall, if you're looking for a great product that's going to give you many fun hours of creative drawing (or coloring), it's highly recommended!I have included a freehand drawing that I produced with these colored pencils, plus a color swatch too.

I had been searching for colored pencil to use on my coloring books but did not want to spend a lot of money for the Prisma brand . When I saw these I thought what a great price for the amount of pencils I was getting. So decided to give it a try. I am very happy that I did . My pencils came in a round cylinder with a foam topping under the lid. The only problems I encountered were 1- one tip was broken which isn't too bad considering2- duplicate pencils 3-missing a number and 4- one point kept breaking off when sharpening. All in all I love these pencils,they are smooth going on and the colors are very vivid. The one thing that did impressed me is that about 2 days ago they e-mailed me to ask about my experience with the pencils and/or any problems that I encountered with them. When I e-mailed them back they offered to rectify these problems. Seeing as they are new sellers to Amazon they really want to do better for their clients and want honest feed back with any problems their clients may have so they may correct them. I really loved this about them and would definitely buy from them again because of the great customer service I received and the quality of the pencils for the price.
