A nice solid set for students and other artists
It's a nice little set with good range of sizes. I've used these for both charcoal and graphite and they work great. It's a simple product but you'd be amazed how other brands mange to make bad ones. These will be my go to ones unless I happen to try something else. These can be purchased confidently for students and more advanced artists.

Work Great!!
The product is great for shading and blending. It helps alot for my anime and manga. It also has many sizes too. It might look like a type of cardbord but works great.

Great product!
I not much when it comes to blending and all but I like how the price was and how many of them came I would say they are very worth it. It made it very easy for me to blend my drawings and these are very good to use when you want to blend in a certain part of the drawing more over parts that you can’t really blend with your finger because it will only mess it up. At first my package didn’t arrive saying the package got lost and all but they were able to replace it and I was totally fine with that as long as it came.

Blending tool
Perfect blending tool for water color pencil. Dip the stump in turpenoid & apply to the colored picture. Make sure the color has to be removed from the stump before using it on a different color If not the colors will mix. I was amazed how well this media worked. The pencil marks blended so smooth. I watched a video how to use stumps to smooth color. For those who don't know how to use theses, one should get a few instructions first. There is enough stumps & tortillions in this package to use on several colors. These are a good addition to add to a collection. Do not allow small children to play with these.

Good Quality & Many Sizes
My 11 year old spends a lot of his time drawing and was wanting to learn how to add more dimension to his art. I purchased this pack for him for Christmas and they've worked out perfectly. There are several different sizes so he has many to choose from depending on what he needs. They seem to be of good quality so I'm very happy with this purchase.

Confused on the product description
Maybe I read the description incorrectly, but I thought these were individual packages. I ordered 2 packs, but I got 8! They came in packages of 4. Great value for the price, but now I have far too many of these. It's not worth sending them back. I shared them with my husband and my daughter and I have several for myself. I would have gladly ordered just one package had I known that each order contained 4 separate packages of what is shown.

Decent tools for pencil sketching
I just bought it and only used it for a week now so I haven’t known about its durability yet, but I like it! It works really good with coal pencils, but with colored pencil, it’s not as effective. Genuinely it’s a good investment if you’re into pencil sketching.

I had a set like this before and there were amazing, but these just blew the others out of the water. I would strongly recommend these to any beginner, intermediate or eve expert artists as they are suited for all levels of skill.

The best tortilons ever...of course, these are best cause I waited for 1month for delivery and when I receive them I just think well.... it's worth my waiting. And also I recommend everyone. These are the best.

These work great. Made out of rolled up paper. The smaller ones are a bit soft but the larger points are nice & firm.
