Recently come across your channel and have been binge watching them! I'm saving up to buy these beautiful pencils so thank you for the lovely swatching. Must also compliment your lovely husband...buys you these gorgeous pencils and cooks the dinner...what a keeper! XX

They are quickly becoming my favorite (though polys still do detail better). I do commission pet portraits and they are very wonderful on fur. They blend so easily. Not many skin tones, but I've got Luminance for that. Love the book you are swatching in. Great review. I love to do coloring books to relax and hone my blend and shade skills.

Each tip made me twitch! You won't ever get more pinks I'm afraid. The reason they are not there already is that the pigments for pink are fugitive and can not be made lightfast. You will have to use pinks from other sets. It's the same with paints, pink fades. Enjoy your exploration of them. I'm loving this book. It's a great way of getting everything together.

I ordered a handful of these open stock back in February and I have received about 8 of them so far, the rest are on backorder at Blick Art here in the states. Blick told me due to Covid and the UK shutting down Derwent is behind on manufacturing, so I am still waiting on about 12 more pencils. I still have Nightshade, Mars Violet, Green Earth etc on the way. I look forward to getting these colors, they are very unique. This helps so much in choosing more colors as the color swatches on Blick's website are not very accurate. I was adding colors to my cart as you were swatching them. My birthday is in June, so I am getting my cart ready! Haha.. I wish I could get the entire set, but open stock will have to do for now. I do love them, and dare I say, I might like them better than the Luminance, which they do remind me of. Thank you for doing this video!

Thank you, Lucy, for sharing your swatching. I’ve been waiting over a month for my 100 box set of Lightfast from dickblick and contemplated canceling when it added ANOTHER month onto my back order wait 😭 but, the price also went up from what I paid so....seeing the colors has convinced me to hold on a bit longer...as painful as it feels. And hearing the tips snapping was oddly satisfying 😅 I like long points on my pencils so mine will likely snap as well.

The coloursoft are lovely, but having 100 colours did it for me 💖

I have a question: I do botanical art - mostly flowers which colored pencil set is better for such kind of art? The derwent lightfast set of 100 or the caran'dache PABLO set of 120? At first I thought the lightfasts, cause of their creamy buttery consistance, but they are also able to hold their point (I heard) - but then I saw their COLOUR RANGE! And even they are 100 colored pencils , there are so few LIGHT and BRIGHT colours, the most colours are muted and in the darker range...thats also VERY BEAUTIFUL , but is it the RIGHT choise for a botanical and flower artist? The Pablos -I dont know much about them, only that they are firmer then the lightfasts, near to the polychromos. And there colour range is MUCH brighter. What DO YOU personally think? There is a big sale at the moment, so the time to decide is running of 🙈 You would be a Real help!!

Hi Lucy, this video is now 2 years old, have you done a colour match to the polychromes? I'm new to the Derwent pencils, they seem to be very interesting colours a lot or mostly all natural nature colours.

Although you've only swatched them and aside from colors differing - do you find them better than FC Polys? I would like to one day get the both sets, but undecided as to which one first.
