163-Piece Mega Wood Box Artist Kit with Easel vs MIKOUJOS 72-Piece Drawing Pencils Set

Buy the 163-piece Mega Wood Box kit if you want one box that covers watercolor, pastel, colored pencil and crayon work, with paper and a beechwood tabletop easel included. Buy the 72-piece MIKOUJOS set if graphite drawing is the goal: its 13 graded pencils, charcoal, pastel pencils, blending stumps and pencil extender suit tonal and photorealistic work better. The Mega Box has the higher rating but from only 20 ratings; the MIKOUJOS has 103 ratings at 4.5, so its score is more settled. Build favors the Mega Box for storage and the easel; media range favors the MIKOUJOS for dry drawing.

• Choose the 163-Piece Mega Wood Box kit if you want a broad mixed-media set with paper and an adjustable easel in one wooden case, and you paint or color as much as you draw.
• Choose the 72-piece MIKOUJOS set if you mainly sketch and draw, and want graded graphite, charcoal and pastel pencils with blending tools rather than paints and crayons.
