Questions and answers

Are these pencils good for beginners?
They are labeled professional and the soft cores reward practice with blending. Beginners can use them, but a harder-core set is more forgiving for light sketching.
How do they compare with Prismacolor Premier?
Both are soft, blendable pencils aimed at artists. The artPOP! set offers 72 colors with 3.3 mm break-resistant cores; compare the live prices before choosing.
Do the leads really resist breaking?
The 3.3 mm cores are marketed as break resistant and owners report fewer snapped tips than with thinner cores. Dropping the tin can still crack them.
What comes in the box?
The set includes 72 colored pencils in a metal tin. No sharpener or eraser is listed.
Are they good for blending and shading?
Yes. The soft lead is designed for blending, layering and shading, and the fine points handle detail work.
When is the best time to buy?
Art supply sets usually drop during back-to-school and holiday sales. Check the price history on this page for the set's low points.
