THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED!! Derwent Lightfast Colored pencils Review!

I got this set of Derwent lightfast pencils in a wooden box from amazon for about one fourth of the original price. I didnt think twice and bought it instantly. I heard good reviews about it and i was curious to try them. So here is my short review of these pencils.

paper used : fabriano artistico hot pressed water color paper 100% cotton.

Turned out beautiful!! Also, you should try mixing them with the luminance- apparently they blend together incredibly well & the colour palette with the luminance makes an incredible range of colours… luminance is lacking some, and Derwent lacks some ( I hope that makes sense!). Also, maybe try different paper- they work differently. Thank you so much! I would love to hear when you do this!

I would get the Lightfast 100 set and compare, not just the set you have. That would be a more fair comparison to Luminance. Keep creating 💛💜💙

Bought a set of 48 last year just bought a set of 100 last month nice pencils use with Faber castell and Carand'Ache pencils.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I have been looking and looking at the 36 piece set and thinking that it might be a good wildlife set but not really useful for anything else because of the colour range. I have the 12 pc set of Lightfast and I really enjoy using them but I may just buy more Polychromos because there doesn't seem to be a great range of colours in Lightfast.

Did you mention how man pencils came in this set? I have the set of 100, with lots of blues (not sure if there's a primary). I'm very pleased with the color range ONLY because I wanted non-primary, more muted tones to augment the 120 set of Polychromos I have. So I agree, if this is going to be someone's only set of pencils, the Luminance or Polychromos have a better color range.

Appreciate this review, I've been lusting after them for awhile but realize its a "want" not a "need." I mostly color in books ☺️ Your portrait is beautiful! One question - you started your swatches on the right side. Is your language written right to left? I wish English was as I'm left handed 😁

Very interesting honest review about this set, very interesting! Edit: Luminance is indeed premium and lightfast, but Polychromos might be the overall better choice..

Thank you for this review. I have the set of 36 and was surprised, in a negative way, that there were no blues, apart from a light one. How could one draw or paint a landscape with that set! So it's the same problem as you have. Though, this set is actually a very good addition to my full 120 set of Polychromos. The Polychromos has all the vibrant blues, greens and oranges my Lightfast set lacks. At the same time, Polychromos doesn't have as vast a range of darks, or even lights. My absolute favorites of the Lightfast set of 36 are Arctic, Oyster and Midnight black - two almost whites, and the blackest black you could ever wish for!

I agree with you. I was looking at Derwent lightfast pencil sets today and some of their sets contain an odd combination of pencils. I have small sets of FC polychromos, CD luminance, CD Pablo, and prismacolor. I do not have complete sets of any of those brands and each set was well curated and could stand alone. Although I know colors can be mixed I do appreciate sets containing orange, purple and pink. However, due to your skills you made this set shine! The portrait was amazing!

Bro good work but 1/4th of the price? Like for 2000₹? It would be good for us if you call out the price than say 1/4th. According to price history which is really accurate with my experience the lowest ever for this set on Amazondotin was ₹4175 on July 13, 2023.

Thanks for this video; I canceled my order based on your review.

Prismacolors are lightfast? News to me, sorry.
