Castle Art Supplies40 Piece Sketching and Drawing Set for Adults Artists | Presented in Sturdy Zipper Case with pop-up feature | Quality range of sketch pencils and more

Was a gift to my Grand-daughter and she loves them. She said they are perfect for drawing,

I gave 4 stars for beginners because it’s great for amateurs who want to expand their horizons. Like me, I have never added pastel pencils into my graphite and charcoal mix, nor used graphite and charcoal sticks. Those specific items I will review their quality after I’ve used them a bit more. The one missing star is for beginners with little to no experience. For someone like this I would suggest the smaller pencil set that castle sells just to get used to the basics first before broadening your horizons.I am perfectly pleased with the quality of the pencils. The vinyl eraser is like any other eraser of its kind and it does what it’s supposed to. The smudging pencils are sturdy and can withstand the necessary amount of pressure to blend graphite and charcoal. The graphite sticks seem promising for shading in large areas, though I’ve only used them twice. Same with the charcoal sticks. One small criticism is the size of the kneading eraser, I do wish it was about 2-3 times larger so you can cover larger areas with it. I personally don’t like plastic sharpeners so I won’t be using it, but I tested it and it does it’s job, no bending or cracking of the plastic. The steel sharpener is a nice weight and size with 2 different sizes use. The sandpaper is where I think the big kicker is. Sandpaper isn’t a secret in art but usually we find ourselves buying a whole roll from the hardware store cause on its own in an art supplies shop they’re just over priced, let’s be honest. I’ve never seen a pencil set with a sandpaper pad included. The sandpaper holds so many uses, cleaning/sharpening your smudging pencils, sanding a dull pencil down to a fine point without needless sharpening, quick & easy way to clean your vinyl eraser, and I could go on. I’m sure there’s more that other people have done with it that I’ve never thought of myself.Overall opinion: I love it. I’ve had only one small complaint amongst the entire kit. Notably I can’t presently comment on the willow sticks and pastel pencils as I have not used them yet. I will update my review in the future to include how I feel about them as well!

Produits de bonne qualité, je recommande.
