Holbein Colored Pencils 36 Set Review - Sent by Discovery Japan!

Discovery Japan sent me a set of 36 Holbein Colored Pencils...yes, HOLBEIN Pencils, and I am going to review them in today's video! Holbein products are made in Japan, and up until very recently it was extremely difficult to get their range of coloured pencils in Australia. Now it is becoming a bit easier but they're still incredibly expensive to buy here.

Discovery Japan is an online marketplace which specializes in selling products from Japan to the rest of the world. It's worth checking them out for products like Holbein and they also seem to be a bit cheaper there too (at least from what I calculated).

I just looked now and the full 150 set is almost half the price of what I've seen in Australia!!

I got a bonus in December and treated myself to the 50 pastel set they are so creamy and smooth the pigment is crazy too . now.... want the 150 set oh I have a green dhal one, I do love it they sharpen great and kind to pencils xxxx thank you again for sharing

[MirandaWatsonArt]

Love that you were able to do more than one artwork with the pencils! They look like fun.

The kookaburra picture is lovely! The 36 pencil set is very nice and would be the minimum and maximum size set I’d be happy with. It has a very good range of workable colors right out of the tin. Some open stock pencils could fill in the missing colors and I’d be done. 😊

Just looked it up and the 36 set would be around $123 inc shipping to Australia. Much better pricing than other sites. thank you for sharing this Becky!

Thanks for sharing this video. Those pencils are really nice, but are more expensive and less lightfast than other premium brands. I can appreciate them from afar through your art and save some money. 😄 Your Kookaburra is lovely and the bright green and pink background make it pop. I will buy that pencil sharpener, though. Those points were awesome!

[lozantoninocreations]

Their pencils always look so pretty. I would love a set of their pastel range. Although I've got more than enough pencils now to keep me happy.

The Kookaburra came out really beautifully.

Hi Becky, Your kookaburra coloring came out really nice. But, i really loved the coloring picture of the girl. You did a fantastic job with her! I have a few Holbein colored pencils. Not enough to form an opinion. I want all the colored pencils, expensive and cheap! Lol.

[AlexisCassandraArt]

I’m so jealous ahh!! So exciting. The Holbein pencils really have a unique feel to me. Colored pencil pieces really do take the longest, sometimes I just don’t have patience for them! I think getting the entire set would definitely be way too expensive. I still have my eye on the pastel range👀 maybe one day

[TracieWho]

What a great "gift"! Loved both pieces. Exciting to find a new shopping site with lots of Japanese art supplies. I've never used Holbein pencils but I use their gouache quite regularly. And I use some type of art supplied made in Japan almost every day it seems. I love their art supplies. I'm checking out that website now! hopefully shipping won't be crazy high.

[jicolourist]

Both pictures were wonderful, thanks for the video. Hi from 🇨🇦👋🏻

[Elvraie]

Splendid pencils for splendid drawing and colouring. Have a great weekend, Becky.

[carrollwilson]

Both your kookaburra and the goth colouring in look stunning. Well done

[INCWorks]

I hadn't heard much at all about Holbein colored pencils, so I appreciate your thorough demonstration and review. The Kookaburra piece is a beauty. Cool pencil sharpener, too! BTW, make-up brushes are so useful, aren't they? Great for clearing away pencil dust, collectible figurine dust, and face powder dust!

[chaosinca]

Your kookaburra came out really great! Thank you for reviewing these, i don't really use colour pencils so when i do i follow reviews to skip ahead on the learning supplies curve 😅

[RamoArt]

I love your Kookaburra drawing. The bright pink and green background make it very interesting and the fact that you incorporated.those colors into the branch brought it all together.
Oh to own the 150 set... One can dream.... I own about 10 Holbein pencils and the only one I ever use is the soft white. It's basically an oil pastel, very unique.

[mulanlovesmilo]

I’ve never seen a kookaburra before! There’s that song about one sitting in an old gum tree? Being in the US, we just don’t have them. I splurged on the pastel set a couple years ago because they were the most unique colors in the range (and the cheaper dupe sets weren't yet available), but find the range lacking. Perhaps it’s time to supplement with the 36 set! Lovely drawing!

[carolcavallaro]

My favorites are the Holbein 100 only pastels…..great on black too!

[katarinaholik]

ah, the struggles of a low buy. I am on a low buy, saving for a ticket to Japan. But I did spend 120€ this month, actually on Hollbein 40 set of watercolors and 50 set of pastel pencils. Everything was almost half the price and the shipping I got for free since my friend will send the supplies via her parents. I can't wait, just hope that nothing will go wrong. Now I have to buy the normal range of lightfast pencils, since I only have Brutfuner.
