Review: Everyone wants to own this brand - This was my first time using polychromos, I ordered a couple to see if my desperation for them was warranted 😂 I was really surprised because they weren’t as soft as I’d thought there’d be compared to another wax brand I own, nevertheless they really are lovely to use. Will I be ordering a full set?? Yes but first I need to drop some major hints as there expensive. You really do get what you pay for and to me Faber-Castell are the cream of the crop. All serious colouring artists albeit not professionals but those who’s made a hobby out of colouring in all want/desire these pencils. They layer beautifully and the two colours I bought you can definitely tell the pigment is concentrated. I can’t afford to buy these all in one go but I plan on purchasing these colours that I use the most being vivid pinks, turquoise and yellows. I’ve never seen Faber-Castell for sale in any high street shop and to be honest I would avoid buying them there. I feel totally satisfied that desertcart sell the real make of this pencil, I know some of my social media friends that haven’t been so lucky purchasing them elsewhere I can’t wait till I can afford a smaller tin so I plan on building these lovely pencils from there on. 🖍️✏️🖍️📕📒🖌️✂️📌🖇️📄
Review: exceeds expectations - Alright, let's talk about the Faber-Castell Art & Graphic Polychromos Colour Pencils. If you're looking for a serious upgrade in your art supplies, these are definitely worth considering. Being oil-based, they lay down incredibly smoothly, which makes blending and layering a really satisfying experience without that waxy buildup. The pigments are rich and vibrant, so your colours really pop on the page. They hold a sharp point well, which is great for detail work, and the leads feel pretty durable, not prone to snapping easily. While they might be a bit of an investment, the quality in application and colour payoff is consistently high. They're a solid choice for anyone wanting professional-grade performance from their coloured pencils.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it good for pigment and lightning for you drawings**
A: Yes, they are excellent with high quality pigment and light fastness.

**Q: When used on papper dose it have Shiney look to it or is it a good dark  black**
A: The black polychromos pencil has a deep black colour to it but you can also use it gently on the paper to achieve a much lighted effect. It is definitely not shiny.

**Q: Can it be erased**
A: I guess it depends on the paper and the colour. I frequently use it in strathmore toned grey and it is fully erasable in it.

**Q: Would it write well on slate?**
A: Probably, as the roughness of the slate would give it what's termed 'tooth' for the pigment to grip onto. I expect Bazman's problem (see below) was likely causes by his paper not having a rough enough surface to provide that tooth. I'll be using this pencil on a heavy textured watercolour paper so my pencils get that necessary tooth to work well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pricey, but so satisfying to use
*by S***A on 9 June 2025*

I've been using this brand for a long time, and I'm really glad I can finally get my hands on single pencils. The pencils are pricey, so if you are like me and like keeping your pencils sharp when using, you might go through them quicker than expected. The colour is really good for doing base sketches to go over again with graphite, but also make for lovely drawings alone. I mostly just use these to draw up sketches, as the material is soft and I need to sharpen it often to get the level of detail I want. I'm pleased to say that I haven't had any material snap off while sharpening, too. You can't really go wrong with this brand. The only real downside is the price, but I think if you are an artist its probably the type of thing you've come to expect.
