FABER CASTELL POLYCHROMOS COLORED PENCILS REVIEW | THE SHORT VERSION

Last month, I posted a review video for the Faber Castell 9000 Graphite Set and I figured I should do a Polychromos Colored Pencil review next! This is definitely a short / condensed review, but I plan to do a more in depth review at some point in the future.

I hope this video is helpful for you!

Extra video this week since I missed last week:) if you’d like me to do more reviews, let me know!

I love Polychromos; they're pricey but definitely worth the money. I have the whole 120 set, and a bonus pencil that strangely isn't in the set, which is Light Violet 139. It's a really delicate and pretty colour which is worth adding to your collection if you can get your hands on one. Great video! 😆

[AmyLouiseArt]

I really enjoyed this video Alexis! Review videos are definitely a great type of video to do and I definitely think you should do more of them 😊

[Bassbarbie]

Fabulous succinct summary, thank you. I think I need a few of these to supplement my Lightfast pencils.... just have to decide which colours... hmmm... I want all of them... except the yellows 😆

Great review, Alexis; thank you for taking the time to make this helpful video! It's not hard to see that you're very passionate about art :)

Polychromos is my favorite colored pencil brand (alongside the Luminance). but i agree with the lack of skin tones. i mostly do portraits and i like using them. but it's very hard to get midtones for lighter to mid skin tones. the available pencils are either too yellow or too pink. they can work with layering and desaturating the brighter colors but it's a lot of work.
i really wish they'd come out with new colors kinda like the Luminance Portrait Assortment set.

Great pencils been using them for the last 30 years.

All them colors 😍😍!! Haha you calling out caran d’ache 😆😂!! Wow wow wow $200 😱! Why do art supplies have to be expensive 😫! But the lead does look better quality. Less likely to break 🙌🏻!! Ooooo that swatch sheet looks so satisfying! Yay for recognizable colors!! Lots of yellow, brown and grays, that’s nice! Oh dang I’d need a real pasty pencil I was coloring in me 😂! Awe that’s a bumper that the white color pencil can’t be blended well 😕. But yay that it lighten ups areas. YES how it works with light is so so so so important! Ooooo those details 😍😍!! Seems like these are worth the price to me. Thanks for the honest review 💕

Thanks Alexis! I just got the big F-C PC set of 120 and it's feeling good. Your review was very helpful. I agree CdA is not worth the price. At my Ottawa store the Luminance is triple the Polychromos price. Boo Geneva.

This video was really helpful, i have bought some of them but I don’t have the full color set. Thanks for sharing.

Love my Polychromos! I bought 57 open stock and it's the perfect amount of colors.

[batanghardinero]

the black in the polychromos are astounding as she said it, i swatched it myself

[ciannacoleman]

I just got the FC PCs full set on discount and really like the feel, haven't really used them a bunch yet though

[miwi]

In Germany the whole set costs around 150€.

[terrydockery]

I have the 120 castle art and I have to sharpen then alot was going to get that brand but talked my self out of them thanks for the share. Oh well I know next tile

[zainabmunawar]

hello, im wanting to purchase these pencils im not much of a beginner and i have been using my prismacolor sets for about 5 years, but i am having trouble picking which set to purcahse. either betweeen the 24 or 36 set and would want to know if its worth to buy a set with 12 more pencils.

[dlda]

What type of paper do you recommend? Is strathmore toned grey good enough for the polychromos?

[shawnstephens]

Do you think these would work good in a bible journal...the paper is smooth...would that be a problem???

[eliyahyasai]

Cute and knowing how too draw prefect thats just me

[fuzzydragons]

I love polys, except the white pencil lol I don't use it that much it's not opaque enough for me so usually grab another one from somewhere 😛
