Just came across your channel, and I’m subscribed! I was interested in picking these up, but I think I will pass now. To answer your question, I think you should try out the Arrtx colored pencils. I have the 126 set, and I enjoy them. They aren’t as soft as a Prismacolor, but they blend & layer similar to them. ❤

Glad they work good for some. Everyone’s different. Shuttle Art were a much better budget pencil for me. Highly pigmented without all the crumbling

I am trying to decide whether or not to keep the 72 colored pencil set you are reviewing here. They crumble a lot on smooth paper which then smears and stains if not wiped away immediately with a very soft brush. A harder brush will smear them, and I haven't been able to get the smears to erase very well. If well sharpened, the tips will break on many if burnishing pressure is used. My swatch sheet colors are not coming out the same as the ones shown in the enclosed booklet's colors on its swatch sheet at all. I only had a smooth surface picture to try some pencils on. When reaching 3rd laydown they seemed to push some of the color aside instead of laying over it. I'm glad you showed us a second demo on paper with some tooth to it. They looked a lot better.

Thank you so much for your own detailed review and experience! This is why I do this, hoping to help someone else and possibly save an unwanted purchase. I returned these for all the reasons you mentioned, in the end and I’m so glad to see I wasn’t the only one with this experience. Thank you for your support!!

I bought those pencils too. I don't like the way the blend on any paper! I keep trying them in hopes I'm wrong but so far I haven't found any paper I like using them on.

At least it’s not just me. I have never returned pencils before but these were just awful to use.

@@d_themessyperfectionist I've returned Uni Colored Pencils . I just couldn't get a good color from them no matter what I tried. I even had someone else test them out for me and they felt they same way. The inexpensive pencils that I don't care for usually go to my granddaughter or friends.
