I do like your review:) Just bought a set for my daughter, it's her dream to own a set. So hopefully a surprise when she comes to visit. Next I shall buy mine...

Just my half a cent: Because they are oil based, the won't be any wax bloom.
You found a very good price for the bullet sharpner. I've heard they are great (read on books LOL). Thank you for your patience in doing reviews
I got the 120, but that's just me, love all those colors, and I haven't a life either!
Thank you. Just subscribed!

Loved the review! I have a full set of 120 and 36, I have used FC pencils my whole life and can't imagine using anything else. As for the skin tones, well German made product, I cant imagine a black German. They all look extra white with pink suntan in the summer. I guess it is just one of those things.

Love the video, found you very easy to listen to and you seem honest about the positives and the negatives. Also been enjoying your walk through of different coloring books.

[missjoshemmett]

Very nicely done.  Understandable and you cover what a colorist really wants to know!  Thank you!

[EveBolt]

"Skin" color pencils were always a dumb way to name those, seriously. These pencils are awesome, I've been getting a few here and there from open stock and I love them a lot.

I just bought the 36 set I am so exited to play with them! Thank you for sharing this was very helpfull

[mmww]

im so happy to have found an art channel by a fellow black woman!! your content is awesome- it's an instant subscribe

I think the flesh color is that shade because they are made in germany, i think they have a differnt sensibility when it comes to race and skin color...obviously...lol...i just ordered the 120 set and im waiting for them to come in the mail. Even though i have the 36 set im still kind of excited about getting the 120...weird i know.

I have Prismacolors, polychromos and luminance colored pencils. I agree that the polychromos are wonderful. Just wanting people to know that the polychromos are oil based and others are waxed based. Some people that will matter to, I haven't had an issue. I use the blender pencil, the white and also Gamsol (odorless mineral spirits) to blend and you can mix these pencils with your Prismacolors if you already own them. This was a great and thorough review, thanks for sharing with all of us!

[joannapocock]

Omg look what you just made me do the 120 set, a bag to put them in, two pencil rubbers and a faber castell sharpener !! £147 now how to hide them from my hubby lol

[PumpkinPails]

Oh, no. You've just convinced me to splurge and get me this set of pencils. I've been on the fence about getting these pencils for years, but I'm gonna go ahead and just order them already. I really do like Prismacolors, but they're such a pain when you're trying to add fine details to drawings. Thank you for the review!

[jazztsax]

mine are coming this week, so excited!!

[lindak]

Thank you for the review. I am new at coloring but I made my mind up to buy this set. I am glad you turned the volume up a little:). I am older and probably losing my hearing lol. I only have the secret garden book and I am unsure what else to buy. Again thank you. You are easy to listen to.

[MimosaLockjaw]

Your reviews are getting better and better dear Karia :)

[tiffaniethornton]

I have the full 120 set of the poly fc. I found them on amazon for $155. I also have the Prismacolor full set and the Derwent full set.

[jyyyin]

wow loved your collection..still researching which set for my coloring is so many brands out there

[sadonofrio]

Thank you so much for this in depth and honest review. Very well done. They've been added to my Christmas list. Happy Holidays!

[bwandclsparks]

Great review! I thoroughly enjoyed your video and have a better understanding of how great the polychromos will be - I've asked for a set of 60 for my b'day and will most likely receive them, my husband is great in blessing me with what I would like to have. I like that you can get individual pencils to add to the set. Thank you for a very informative review and I look forward to more.
