This is my first set of Godfaber colored pencils. I always use Prismacolor Premier pencils. I bought the Goldfabrer set because the Prismacolor pencils are very soft, and they make it hard to do detail work. I'm glad I did. These pencils hold a point and are easy to sharpen. They are very smooth and they blend well with either mineral spirits or colorless blender. All the colors are vibrant, and I haven't noticed any wax bloom when coloring. The color choice is comparable to that of the Prismacolor 48 piece set. They make a great addition to my art supplies. If a larger set becomes available, I will buy it.

I love all my Faber Castell pencils but Goldfaber are, by far, my favorites. I only wish they came in more colors :) True to the description they sharpen easy, lay color easy & shade well. I have a light touch when I color & a friend presses hard to 'get all the color out' - whenever I bring my Goldfabers along, she reaches for those first. Goldfabers are my new go to!! I highly recommend to beginners or long time coloring enthusiasts!!!

Best color pencils for the price. Nice rich, creamy colors that lay down well. All the colors are numbered and match Faber-Castell Goldfaber Aqua as well as the Polychromos line.

Colors are brilliant and selection very good. I usually use Faber-Castell Polychromos which I love and are more expensive. I love trying different brands and thought I would give these a try, price being so reasonable. I feel the pencils are softer than Polychromos which lend a really rich color result on paper.

I’m a heavy duty colorist. I spend 10 hours or more coloring. I usually use prismacolor. I’m changing brands. Goldfaber are buttery low breakage pencils. The color lays even with little pressure. They are nonsmear which is important. Great pencils and now I need the 120 piece lol!
