Square Colored Pencils?!? These might be the BEST cheap pencils I've ever used!

Let's check out the Brutfuner square colored pencils! I bought the 120 sets a couple of months ago and they are really awesome! They just released a set of 72 as well. Hopefully, Amazon can keep these in stock because they are a great price and awesome quality. Find them here:
*make sure to ger the square Brutfuners, they also have round ones but I can't vouch for those

Pros:
Price
unique square shape
smooth lead
blends well
layers well
works well with mineral spirits
beautiful color selection

Cons:
no lightfast info
no open stock
may require a larger pencil sharpener or knife to sharpen. *I use the pencil sharpener that I sharpen my Derwent pencils with.

Bottom Line: these are the best budget-friendly pencils I have ever used. I hope they stick around!

Do I need more art supplies? No. Do I wanna buy more after watching reviews? yessss! 🤣🤣 Thanks for the thorough review 💗💗

[JanetBuol]

When I am contemplating buying something, I always go to your channel first and do a search. If you've reviewed it, I can always, always count on an honest, down-to-earth review. Pretty sure you've saved me some dollars over the years because you point out the pros and cons as you see them. Really do appreciate your

[conniedoiron]

Lindsay I don't know what I would do without your honest reviews and I am in the market for coloring pencils. Thank you, you have made my decision easy.

[SarahRenaeClark]

I just finished filming a review of these for my channel next week! Great minds think alike ❤️

I was pleasantly surprised too. Glad I gave in to all the recommendations!

I received these pencils today per you recommend. Oh my gosh!!! They are like butter and they effortlessly blend. I like them better than Prismacolor and Poloychromos! The lay down is sweet! Thank you for reviewing them. What a great buy!

[nannyval]

I ordered these from Amazon this past week. They arrived quickly even without Prime. I LOVE them! Totally worth the $25!

[FranNyan]

Small note with this brand: They have a bunch of different sets with similar packaging and names with little to differentiate one from another. That same designed box used to have regular round pencils of mediocre quality most of a year ago. Don't just go by the brand or the title, make sure you're getting the square ones!

[lindseywarren]

Oh great! These look very nice! I need another set of pencils like I need a hole in my head! But... I have had these in my cart for awhile now and I am so pleased to have the Lindsay Stamp of Approval 😁 Thank you, Lovely! 💗

I bought these after hearing Pamela’s review and seeing that many people who follow her also liked them. I wanted a decent but inexpensive set for practice. These have been great for me! It is nice to be able to practice with pencils that can easily be replaced as they wear down. I can then use something better on a drawing after I have worked on a new technique. Budget pencils can serve a useful purpose and I have enjoyed these. No odor on mine and minimal breakage so yay! As always, thanks for your review.

The round Brutfuners with the coloured barrels are lovely, soft & creamy. Same quality as the squares. The Brutfuners with the black barrel are the same as all the other black barrel Chinese pencils. Litchi (the distributor/manufacturer?) seems to use various factories for many types of Art (and other) materials, a few are branded Brutfuner.

what a super fun haul! overwheming yes but spectacular and delightful! if you ever don't find the shade you want in another set, --- you know right where to look! thanks for sharing - super fun!

After my last debacle I finally received a set of 72 today and they are indeed a beautiful pencil! So glad I ordered them again!

SMH @ some comments. You’re one of my favorite Reviewers and I have always been pleasantly impressed with supplies I bought based on your reviews. Beautiful floral picture and so is the gem! Thank you Lindsay, you’re amazing!

[DeniseBrooks]

I’m in my summer camper and only brought watercolors with me because I didn’t want to lug a lot from NY to MA, so these are perfect to leave in the camper over the winter. Thanks for the review Lindsay.

[colleenpoutre]

I have had mine for a few months, love them! Thank you for the review.

[gerryannbrown]

I haven't got those pencils but I like that they won't roll off the table with that square shape. Thanks for the review

[FindYourDivineDesign]

I have this set too and use it to get more practice for my adult coloring technique before I jump into my Polychromos. Also if you’re interested in the Chinese color name translations, Pamela’s Passion for Pencils has a link for them in her channel, I believe. 😉

[flychk]

Done. With the 15% off currently offered! I mean, who could resist that?!?! Am anxious to try them as I do like a softer pencil. Thanks Lindsay!

[janinawiegratz]

I managed not to buy them for 3 month since I've seen them on Pamela's channel. When I saw her color combos last week I had to buy them. I love them sooo much!

[catsandbats]

These look so nice. I love the way they blend. I have a lot of coloring books, several with more textured paper, so I bet these would work well.
