Tombow3-Pack Irojiten Color Dictionary Wooden Pencil Bundle Set , Series 1 ( CI-RTA-30C ) & 2 ( CI-RTB-30C ) & 3 ( CI-RTC-30C ) 30 Colors x 3 ( Total 90 ) (D-SET)

These pencils are highly pigmented and surprisingly easy to use considering their hard cores. I needed pencils that were thin and would keep a strong point in order to color small details on my coloring pages. They perform very nicely.

The colors are beautiful and the packaging is breath taking. Would 100% recommend it to anyone.

I love these pencils. They remind me a bit of Prismacolor ones but not quite as creamy and hold a better point on the lead when sharpened. My only complaint and ther only reason they are getting a 4 star instead of 5 star rating is because of the color selection. The set lacks greys which I use a lot and has only one true red. There are a lot of greens and blues with a fair amount of yellows. I don't think there is a white pencil either and again I use a white one for blending all the time.The boxes they come in are very attractive and unique. As I take mine out of the boxes and put in a case, the fact the containers were cardboard instead of metal didn't matter. I like the color story idea although I am not sure why you would want only one of the three to get a full palate of colors. You need them all for that. There are a handful of fluresount ones which are interesting and vivid but not something I think I will have much use for.

They a nice but the expected pigmentation is not there. These type of artist tools can be quite personal so others may like them. I prefer Prismacolor, Faber, or Caran.

I love the fact they are divided into different sections - Woodland, Rainforest and Seascape. Lovely to use and don't leave any residue behind. I read somewhere that they are "wax" but to me, they aren't anything like prismacolor premiers.

I like the color pencils very much.

I got these on a whim and glad I did. They are really nice pencils in very nice packaging.

bought all 9 volumes and I just love them. Smooth laydown, great for layering and blending. Totally recommend these pencils. Another review states to sharpen before use, and I would agree with that. Will no doubt by another set.
