Just some random thoughts in no particular order.I haven't sharpened any of them yet, but so far the one I've used works fine. I'm using a white-paper sketchbook and yellow doesn't really show up in low light. Though the flow of the colors is very smooth. Also the package is way thinner than I thought it would be. It is paper.Also, at the bottom of the box holding the pencils is a pencil sharpener. Like one of those small ones. Be careful! It's not covered or anything, the blade on mine was facing down (towards the opening of the bottom) so be aware of that!!The one I got came with plenty of pencils. :) They are actually much thinner than I thought they would be. They are also easy to hold. The pencils themselves are *not* branded. They are visually stunning. Also, not a lot of pressure needed to draw with them. They are really pretty to look at. :DI got them without free shipping (but they came fast!!!!), so hopefully they weren't dropped at any point. It's gonna take a while to get through all of them (hopefully!!!!) so I won't know until I use them for longer. (Protip: if you drop pencils, the led inside is fragile and can break, which is why when you sharpen them led falls out.)I saw another review on here where someone was struggling with sharpening theirs, and that might mean that the pencils are meant to be knife-sharpened. But I'm gonna take the easy route and just use a hand sharpener. Also!!! I don't recommend using an electric sharpener on pencils like at all. Unless you are taking a scantron test, -- bc that can break pencil led as well, oddly enough (at least in my experience and practical knowledge🥴).Anyway, these are lovely and I love them and was pretty excited to get them. :) Also, since I needed a little (((safe)))) randomness in my life, this is the perfect childhood throwback to get that controlled *ChAoS* from.Btw, I got the black ones bc they are super cool looking. I grew up with the thick chonky ones of these (but with normal wood with colors on them, maybe) and I thought they would be like that but these ones are super sleek and fancy. (Not that that's a bad thing.)I would reccommend them for like fancy middle schooler artists and older. But I think I can see high school kids using these and feeling super fancy and cool in art class/ in the lunchroom (actually, idk if people should be in those anymore 🥴). Flex on them kids man, -- social distance, wear a mask, and stunt on those gamers, or whatever u do these days. Also, I think it would be fun to see YouTubers use these and have a fun time!! :DAlso the pencils feel and look like charcoal sticks. That's nice. :3 Also hand sharpening works fine.Btw, this was the lowest price I could find for these pencils on Amazon and Etsy. Altogether it was like 15$.Uh,,, thank you for reading this random review, hope this helped you out. :)

Gave to our 12 year old granddaughter and 8 year old grandson for Valentine's Day, along with appropriate aged coloring books. They loved them. Like coloring with a rainbow!

These are really fun. I wish the colors overall were a little darker, it's hard to see the lightest colors. One came not sharpened, and when I went to sharpen it I realized it was defective and missing the color stick until a couple inches down. For the price that was frustrating. Had another one break quickly and had to sharpen it down quite a bit until it worked again.Overall, no regrets. They aren't perfect, but they're fun and unique and a big hit with my homeschooled kids.

Got these for my 8 year old and he loves themDraw great , sharpen easily and do not break.Only complaint colors aren’t as vibrant.But great value for the cost

I bought these for my daughter who loves to draw. She fell in love with them after the first use. They are durable and make beautiful colors.

Lots of options for drawing a nd coloring

Bought these as a Valentine’s Day extra to hand out to my kids’ class. Loved a few things about these:- the package came quickly which is ultimately how these won out bc I totally forgot to do it sooner- love that the pencils are black on the outside. The color on the inside seem to pop more.- quality is nice. Feels good holding and using it.- came sharpened! Yay!As they were being handed out, the kids were shocked they got to keep them at the end of the party. They all loved them. And if a bunch of second graders can agree on that, then you know it’s good.
