Chromaflow Colour Pencils Tin|3.5Mm Core|Premium Core Strength|Professional Quality|Vibrant&Blendable|Ideal for Drawing&Sketching (Tin of 72)|Blue

I am just a notch above a beginner and wanted something that was easy to use and produced great results for me. I ordered a 24 pencil set of Derwent Chromaflow and I can say that these pencils are excellent - smooth layover, bright colours and very easy to blend. Look no further!

The pencils are blendable and vibrant and easy to use even though thinner than usual Derwent artist grade pencils. A 24 pencil set is sufficient though ideally the strawberry shade should have been a true to name shade (pink toned red) instead of a brown tone red as that is missing in the set. Also close and easily achievable shades like lilac and violet, light blue and blue, strawberry and raisin could have been better varied by having shades like Mars violet, Ultramarine, a cool toned Red. Also, it's essential to have information on lightfastness as this is being marketed as professional pencils. Nevertheless, it's still a very good set. Now on the retailer and delivery. The box was completely dented and one nib was broken. I just feviquicked it to avoid going through the hassle of changing but this retailer will just not bubble wrap these delicate art materials though this is not the first time they have sent dented boxes and damaged products. It's extremely frustrating to see them waste these expensive products by not wrapping with either bubble wrap or extra cardboard, leading to damage that most consumers won't accept.

Very good alternative to prismacolor.. really smooth and gives vibrant finish.. love it

Fine Colour pencil but lagging in Colour depth .e. low Vibrant and Rich Colors. This may be due to low concentration of pigment. The blending capability is good and does not break easily having fine wood casings. The pencils may be cosidered as medium hard and can retain sharpness well. Good for Drawing but may not be the best for colouring. Also pretty paper sensitive and can work best only on top quality papers.

I loved these colored pencils! They are sooo creamy and are really good for layering, these are easily comparable to prismacolor pencils, though I would recommend to expand this set to a 100 or 150 pencil set.

Derwent Chromaflow are excellent pencils which are waxed based and so highly suited for blending. However seller has sent the box without the metal cover lid – this is not the first time I have had the same issue. These pencils are an expensive set from a reputed company, Derwent, and they are intended to arrive complete with metal box to keep pencils organised (box has a back and front cover as per picture) However sellers are not sending the box of pencils as intended by manufacturer Derwent.... why? I don't know.... but for sure the fault does not lie with Derwent but with the seller.... Without the cover, the pencils cannot be kept in the box unless always sitting on a desk.... no taking your pencils for outdorr sketching or on a travel or to college ....unless you purchase a pencil case to keep them in! Sellers pls don't sell part-product. Unfortunately, I was not aware of the missing cover until after the return window had closed (I was away) ...only 6 days return window, so I am left with a useless box, but with great pencils - So this low star rating is not due to the pencil quality but due to seller fault

Chromaflow ✏️✏️🌺🌺Review - Excellent pigment quality - impress me Blending and layering quality is superb ,cant expect this level. While you apply over paper (i have use @strathmoreart grey toner paper 📜),u feel like smooth butter top of the bread , like your morning breakfast . Actually chromaflow is blowout of my mind. One small problem is that point Strength is not hurdy, but it's doesn't big deal, its upon to you. My Ranking Lightfast 5/5 Blending 5/5 Layering 4.5/5 Point Strength 4/5 Intensity 4.5/5 Overall 4.8/5.

Pros - firm grip , beautiful selection of colours , smooth and soft , layerdown easily ,eraseble ,bright and blends well Cons - lead is not that strong, White colour is not that good for blending but you will still get Good results All over it's a really beautiful product and you can purchase it for professional use or as a beginner
