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
