I have bough these pencils for using in adult colouring books.
They have several drawbacks, but in spite of that I think they are great pencils!
First about the cons:
- They are not 60 colours as advertised! There are 2 black and 2 white pencils, making 58 colours in total.
- The case is not so good. While it do stores pencils safely when closed, it is difficult to make it stand upright on the desk and it easily toppels (however, this may be just only my item's fault). Also when some pencils get shorter with use, it becomes difficult to get them out of the case.
- Colour selection lacks really dark green and really dark brown.
Pros:
- Blending! These pencils blend like a dream! I am still learning how to blend and layer, but even with my lower-than-average skills I can get some good results. I feel like the pencils are doing half of my job for me! They are good with blender, of course, but in most cases I even don't have to use blender.
- They share the colour name with Prismacolor Premier pencils, so when I use up one colour of Scholar, I can replace it with individually bought Premier. Thus in a couple of years I hope to have a set of Prisma Premier without any major investment.
- Nice overall quality, soft core, creamy laydown, vibrant colours.
Would definitely recommend these pencils for adult coloring!
