This is an excellent set of coloring pencils from Shuttle Art featuring 136 unique colors. It's a good package to get started with, offering a big array of graduated colors to choose from, including 8 metallic colors.
The quality of the leads is very good. They sharpen well, are silky smooth to apply on a range of papers, and are hardened to resist cracking of the cores. The pencils come sharpened and hold a point well. You can layer the colors, but they don't blend very well.
The pencils are not numbered or named in any way. That's not normally a big deal, but you might occasionally have difficulty matching a color you have already used with the same pencil from the box.
The fitted case is a very nice feature. Some suppliers send out their pencils loosely packed or even in a bag! With this set, each pencil fits securely into it's own slot. This goes a long way toward protecting the points as well as the cores from breaking. A minor design flaw is that the snaps of the case are positioned so as to risk damaging the points of a couple of the pencils. (You can avoid breaking those tips by putting your finger behind the snaps as you close the box.)
Overall a great set - good quality at a very reasonable price. Their creamy texture comes from a hard core oil base, letting you apply color smoothly without a lot of pressure. (For comparison, they are not as soft as Prismacolor pencils.) There are a wealth of colors from vibrant to subtle you can chose from. It makes a good starter set, but can also help you fill in ranges of color that you might currently lack.
I’ve got this set – really like it
