This is a Giveaway for a 24 set of Derwent's new ProColour. To enter leave a comment below and be a subscriber of the channel. The winner will be selected in August. To be in with an even better chance of winning these awesome pencils, head over to COLORED PENCIL Magazine where even more giveaways are taking place.
The written review for the ProColour will be in COLORED PENCIL Magazines August edition so make sure you get yourself a copy of that for an in depth review.
Here at The Art Gear Guide and COLORED PENCIL Magazine, where reviews are concerned my main aim is to deliver truthful, honest and the best reviews I can. I also am always looking for new products or products not yet reviewed. I was incredibly fortunate to be sent a full set of Derwent's new ProColour by Derwent quite a while ago. Originally I was asked not to release the review until after the official launch of the ProColour at Patchings Festival, which I of course was keeping to. Because of popularity, things changed and the review was allowed to be brought forward until the 1st of July. However, I have seen already reviews online and so I've decided to release my review now in the interest of my viewers, subscribers of COLORED PENCIL Magazine and Derwent. Derwent have released an outstanding pencil and one I think you are all going to love.

Donations
I am not comfortable adding this to my site or CZcams channel. I receive many emails and messages asking me how people can help support The Art Gear Guide, mainly I think due to the fact that I purchase all of the supplies myself, except those sent directly from companies kind enough to do so. I have decided to add a donations button to my site, however, I feel the best way to add such a campaign is as follows, all donations made will be used to purchase art products for review, however, all products purchased using donated funds, after they have been reviewed, will be used as giveaways to subscribers of the CZcams Channel, the web site or any of the above social media platforms. This way I personally will not benefit from financial donations. I have set this channel and site up for my own enjoyment and not profitable gain. I feel with this support method, everyone wins but not in a financial.

My Own Personal Art
I would not exactly call myself an artist in the true sense of the word, however I absolutely love art as it has helped me immensely dealing with clinical depression due to my battle with constant chronic pain and disability. Follow the link to check out my own projects bit.ly/2qAa7BN
Thank You
Finally, thank you so much for all of your support, without all of you, this channel and The Art Gear Guide would simply not be the same. Thank you so much.
Three years on and this review still gave me all the information I needed. I want something softer than my Lyra poly colour but harder than the prismacolor. I want an all rounder for colouring, and to get back into drawing. Thanks.
Oh my, these look fantastic...can't wait to buy some!
Thank you so much for your wonderful, honest review The Art Gear Guide!
I just found you not too long ago but love your videos and your art work, you're very talented!!
Such a beautiful line of coloring pencils. One of my favorite things when buying color pencils, is the presentation, because it contributes to the delicate handling of the tools we use to create art. I love it that they are in a tin package, and that you describe the pencils themselves as well. Thank you for that, and for demonstrating your experience by showing us some of your art pieces. This was a very informative review. I enjoyed seeing the demonstration of the product.
I love your reviews especially because they are very thorough. Again thank you for your reviews and patience.
Such a detailed and thorough review. You answered all my questions re:open stock, lightfastness, etc. I think your comment about having the lightfast rating on the pencil is a well though out addition!
So glad you did this youtube. Thank you because I am a Copic colorist and wanting to get into pencils and appreciate watching how they are to be used...
Thanks for all your reviews! I'm also interested on how they compare to the Polychromos. I was excited to see and hear about these pencils first in your channel! Keep up the good work!
These look like really cool pencils! I like the ease with which you were able to blend the colors and how vibrant they appeared on the black surface. Can't wait to try them for myself!
Thank you so much for this review. I have been waiting some time to see someone do a review. I can't wait until they are available.
A great review, thank you. They certainly look like wonderful pencils to work with - the blending looks impressive.
Again your very informative and honest reviews are what I look for before I purchase any coloring pencils. Thanks for your honesty .
Great review as usual. I never get tired of watching reviews about products I don't know about and that I'm too poor to buy haha. Would love to get my hands on some of these.
fabulous pencil review! Bravo Harry! I'm not really a fan of Derwent due to the hardness of the leads & the squeaky sound on the paper, but these seem to be great especially with the light fast rating included. I really appreciate that u included the sharpener u used on these. I was like "wow what a point" & wondered which sharpener u used. I look forward to seeing the review in the magazine! I will share this video w/my audience! thanx a bunch
Awesome review, thank you so much! Would have to wait until they are available here in South Africa. Derwent is my go to for almost every medium as they are affordable and like you said the open stock availability is a plus point. Did not know that they launched these new colour pencils and am happy to hear about it
Thank you for the very thorough review. I've never tried Derwent before. I've only had a dinky 12-color set from when I was a child, and now as an adult, I just bought the budget Marco Raffine set to use in my coloring books and other crafts. Wow, these look great on the Strathmore paper (and it's waaayyy better than anything i could do at this point!)
Thanks Harry, so glad to see this review. Have been waiting to hear about this new pencil. Love Derwent products, sounds like another pencil to add to the collection!
I love the brightness of these colours, it stands out even just watching your video! In love with them, I hope some days I will be able to buy a full set
Thanks for your review!I found really helpful that you tried them in different papers, specially in the black one, which I found very inspiring.The colors really work well on that one .I definitely have to try those pencils.
I am a big fan of everything Derwent so was interested to watch your review of the new Procolour pencils. Money is always tight when you rescue animals so it is nice to find out as much as possible before buying new art products. I am glad you discussed light fastness and explained the Derwent system.
Thank you for this review. I am new to colored pencils. I am really excited about this set. Thank you for telling about the light fast rating. The light fast is very important to me. Thank you for showing your flower and for showing how they shade.
Another wonderful in-depth review Harry! First time I have seen these, I knew they were being released and I'm glad you got sent a set to demonstrate for us, they look super nice, I'm going to give these a try, thanks again for another top review! take care my friend:)
Glad to see Derwent has finally come up with a blendable pencil that competes with the farber- castel and carandache. Thanks for the review!
Hi Harry, another great review. Man oh man the colored pencil world has been on the edge of their seat waiting for these pencils, they were so cloaked in secrecy. Derwent has "teased" us all with these pencils. i'm happy to hear that you like them, sounds like they were worth waiting for. Derwent Artist's and Coloursoft are some of my favorite pencils, so i'm glad these Procolour are the middle. Boy the point you got on those were great, and love the fact that they don't just crumble when put to task. So glad that there is some sort of timeline when we can get our grubby little paws on these pencils!!!!! Thanks again and take care. Peace
Hi Harry, I'm a new subscriber but have watched many of your lovely videos for awhile now and I'm really new to doing art. I have become somewhat addicted to coloured pencils and have a lot of the Derwent sets. I know that this is a review of the Procolour but just let me mention something about the Artist set as you mentioned towards the end of your review. I'm glad to find an artist who also loves the Artist set. It was your review some months back that made me buy the full set of The Artist pencils. Really! To me they are totally unique in the way they lay down and I love the subtlety of their effect. So I'm looking forward to getting the procolour and comparing the two sets but alas I will then be so poor I will have to beg on the streets. Lol. Cheers to you and best wishes. Thank you for all that you do to inspire people like me!
I received a small 6 pencils set and fell in love with them! Beautiful color, nice feel and good layering with the ProColour. I can't wait to get my hands on a bigger set!!
Another great review. The detail you give and the time you put into your reviews really pays off. Looking forward to future reviews.
I watched this review a short while ago. Glad I watched it again as it reminded me to put the pencils of my gift wish list! Thanks for a great review :)
These look really very interesting. It's very generous of you to do a giveaway with them - would be fantastic to try them! Great review as always :)
Thank you for this fabulous review. You certainly have sold me on these pencils. I think I will love these pencils.. As soon as I hear they are waxed based, my ears pick up. By the by, I love your artwork.
My cousin gave me his 12 pc. Derwent watercolor pencils a few years ago and it was my first time using a Derwent product. The colors are really lovely. I hope ProColour comes here in our country soon. I want this as my second use of Derwent! Definitely on top of my wishlist. Thank you for this review!
Thanks for the review! It really helps to hear an opinion of a reputable guide prior to spending money.
It's great having a video about a new product. Great information and was curious if these Derwent pencils match the other Derwent products.
Wow! Great review as always, thanks Harry! Yet another "must" art supply for me LOL.
I love my Derwent Artist and Coloursoft pencils and can't wait to get this new set! Thank you for showing them to us, hope they get here to USA fast! I want them now!
jannek123 if you love the Artists and Coloursoft, you are going to just love these. The ProColour are like combining the Artists and Coloursoft into one pencil, honestly they are gorgeous. Thank you so much for stopping by the channel and supporting me.
Thank you for doing this review!! I knew that Derwent was coming out with a new pencil but couldn't find much information. I'm looking forward to them being made available to the public.
I had no idea these were in the pipeline! They look lovely. I like to support Derwent and I like the Artist range on proper paper, so these will definitely have to be living in my house at some point. Christmas is a likely candidate I think.
Thanks for the great review. I love your flower. It is so vibrant.
I'm very excited to try these pencils. I would love to see a comparison video in the future. Thank you for your great review!
Thank you Harry for another great review. I always look forward to colored pencil reviews and yours in particular. These pencils would be a great set to have but I'm not rich either and can only hope to win them or receive them as a gift. Keep up the great reviews!
Thank you kindly for this preview review. I am keen to try these because Derwent avoids latex and soy, which I am allergic to, and I hope they blend nicely, especially without solvents or burnishing really hard.
You do the best reviews! I always get the colored pencil magazine as well, I can't wait to buy these. Thanks for the great review as always!
Lynn L thank you so much Lynn for such a lovely comment.
Thank you so much for your review! I am waiting for the Procolour to become available via the retailers in the US that I buy from so I can purchase them. They look lovely.
I've been trying to find my favorite colored pencil lately (in the form of buying one from literally every brand/line I can find) to pick one main kind to invest in a full set of, so I definitely need to try these out! They look great from what you've shown - a few different colored pencil lines from Derwent have made it into my top 10 so far, and these look like they'll end up there too!
I've heard a lot of good things about these pencils and am anxious to try them for myself. Looks like a great selection of colors. I like that they will be open stock, too.
Thx, Harry! Great review. I finally got my Artists set, but now I want these as well! Well, maybe I'll win a set. My hubby would love that! He says I have more art supplies than he has tools, and that's saying something! Of course, he's right, but you never know which way the spirits will guide you. I may feel like using oil pencils one day and Inktense the next!! Thanks again for the great info!
Great review! I love the layering capabilities and vivid colors of these pencils! My only concerns is that I've seen in other reviews that there's a good range of these pencils that aren't lightfast smh. For someone who plans on selling original art this is not good and limits the usability of these pencils sigh. That being said I may still go ahead and get some of the more lightfast ones of this set to combine with some of my other pencils. Once again great review!
These look great - I've been a fan of Derwent pencils since I was a kid. Can't wait to try these out!
Thank You for this excellent review, i already love Derwent colored Pencils and i have both and after i've watch your review can't wait to have these one on my hands because Derwent is an Awesome Brand and love lots of their Fantastic Products!
Thank you for this review, I tend to stick with gel pens and markers, but I am looking for more diversity in colors and this is a great place to start. Again thanks for the review.
Thank you for this video. It was very informative.
Adding to your explanation about Blue Wool lightfastness. I remember reading somewhere that 6-8 is supposed to be ASTM I and II, which is lightfast. 4 and 5 being the rather mediocre ASTM III. And anything lower is considered not lightfast.
However, 4 years ago I drew a horse with Derwent Artists using a lot of LF3 brown. It's hanging behind perspex in my parents' living room and there has been no visible change in colour so far.
I have used Derwent products for years and have never found anything I did not like, some are more chalenging than others but this provides an oppertunity for artistic growth by learning how to adapt, great review thanks
Thank you so much for the review, these look wonderful and definately are added to my wishlist. It'll take a lot of saving but after seeing how beautiful they colour and seeing your review, I'm sure they're worth it. Thank you for your awesome reviews, and for giving us a chance to win some. I too battle with chronic pain, depression and anxiety and colouring has helped me with it as well. It's amazing to see a man open up about that as many don't like to openly state so. Kudos to you Harry and thank you. You're reviews are very helpful and you might not call yourself an artist but believe me you are *hugs*
These look so interesting, they have some beautiful looking shades and tones in the set. Nice to see that they have gone for a different palette than the other brands that they do. I would love to have a try of these.
Well it looks like Derwent has once again produced an amazing product. Love they way they blend so well and put down some beautiful color. This may be my next set.
Thank you for the review on the colour pencils. I would love to own a full set of Derwent Pencils, always wanted a full set ever since I was at High School. Love Derwent and these sound amazing. Di.
Hi Harry, thanks for another great review. I'm always interested to see the performance on various papers. I have more or less decided I like the Koh-i-Noor Polycolor best, but apart from the Coloursoft line, I do love Derwent products, so I can't wait to see these Procolours here in Western Canada. We are afflicted by Too Much Choice, aren't we! Maybe I'll go back to drawing with a carpenter's pencil on recycled brown wrapping paper ...
Excellent selection of colors. Great review, especially the lightfastness info. Thanks!!!!
Very interesting. Great review. Will look for them when they are available in the US. Would really like a full set to use. Thank you for the review.
Great review! I appreciate all the information on these new pencils. Wow! In addition, I am thrilled about the possibility of actually winning a set of these awesome pencils. Thank you for the review, and for this opportunity!!
Not sure if I commented before, but just to let you know I really like the sound of these pencils and glad to see a few more subtle colours from the Derwent Artists range amongst them
I really like the way you can work with these pencils. I have always worked in oil paints but it is effecting my asthma so I can only paint outside. I think the the Procolour pencils could be just what I need to be able to get back to the comforts of indoors.
These are going to be my next set of pencils. I love your reviews and the information you share with all of us. Keep on teaching us !!
Beth Hovey thank you so much Beth for your very kind comment and support. Thank you
These look awesome. Great review! I'll have to save up for these. Would love to try a few before I jump into the 72 Ct set.
Thank you for the review. They really seem to layer well without wax bloom for a wax based pencil. Looking forward to trying them.
Love seeing these demoed! I always learn so much watching a video like this!
Thank you so much for this review. I recently fell in love with the Derwent Coloursoft pencils, so I am quite curious about these:)
Excellent and thorough review. I usually work with polychromos and I've debated on incorporating other types in my work. I'm definitely going to invest and use these pencils. I can't wait to get my hands on them! Thank you for your review :)
These are beautiful. Thank you for your generous heart. I can't wait to try one when they become available. Thanks for all your efforts.
Thank you for doing this demo. I can see the color and texture very well. Good unbiased opinion.
I love the fact these were shown on black paper as well. I'm glad I found this contest to enter through Colored Pencil Magazine because the video was definitely worth watching!
Thanks for the information and review! I love the Derwent Coloursofts. Can't wait to try these.
Love Derwent. Can't believe they have brought out another wonderful set of pencils. They look amazing.
How exciting! Thanks for the review - was keen to find out about these. Also, thanks for the opportunity to win these!
Thanks for the review, really interesting.I'm hoping to get to see these at Patchings in a couple of weeks.
another great review Harry...love Derwent Artist and Colorsoft ,would be good to test these out too.
Colours look fantastic! I like the way it holds a point and the smoothness of the colour being laid down on paper Hope to get a set.
Wow! When I saw a brand new post for new products of Derwent, I was very curious to find out about these. They are a very interesting product!
I received two of these in my July sketchbox, and I do love them, even though I am very much in love with my oil-based. Thanks for a great review on the set, tells me to start the christmas hinting myself hehe. :)
And as a note, I've tried my two on some Yupo paper, and it actually still lays down decent colour. And Yupo is the smoothest I've ever touched, being as they are plastic.
awesome... thanks for your review on those pencils... I was not sure about buying these procolor pencils till I watched your review that makes me wanting to buy me a set ....
Angela Brown If you have ever used Derwents Coloursoft or Artists I would say go for it and get the largest set you can afford. If you have never used any Derwent pencils then I would certainly suggest buying a few open stock pencils first. That way you get to use them before investing a lot of money. Thank you so much for you comment and for stopping by. Thank you so much.
I have derwent color soft and inktense pencils. It sounds like I might start saving for these pencils also. Thanks for the great review.
Love the vibrancy of the colours in the Procolor sets! Beautiful!
Thanks for the precise review once again👌
Got the 120 set of derwent artists myself and im quite satisfied with them 😉
I love Derwent products and have their Watercolour, Coloursoft and Inktense ranges. Looking forward to buying (or maybe winning??) some of the Procolour range. :) Great review, thank you!
I already have the full set of artists, some coloursoft, studio and inktense. But these look amazing. Thanks for the review. Yhey are on my wishlist
Thank you! I've been waiting to hear about these - looking forward to trying them!
I love the art, and the way the colored pencil looks. I would love to get a set of these. Your videos are great, and information. I am glad to know that it works with Bristol. I have so much.
I really enjoyed the information on the new Derwent Procolour. I'm so tempted to buy them to try. They seem to be really superior except the ones that aren't light fast.
The temptation is stroooong ;-; I already have the full prismacolor, luminance, and polychromos sets and soon the 24 derwent drawing set so more pencils just seems unnecessary, but I love collecting. Great review :)
Thank you for the review! It's always great to learn about new pencil crayons.
Looks like a great set. I find seeing example artworks so useful for deciding whether or not to purchase a product, and your piece on the Strathmore bristol smooth paper was mindblowing. Looks like a great pencil, and hopefully they will become available internationally for a reasonable price :) Thanks for the review.
fantastic review Harry I have just received a 72 set of these haven't used them yet though and like you I love my Artist's set also.
These pencils look incredible! I can't wait for the release! Thank you for the awesome review and giveaway!
Thank you so much for this video. :D I've been useing Derwent for a long time now. So I've been so exited for the Procolor. So thank you so much for this great review :D
i'm just starting in colored pencils and these look like the best of both worlds. I can't wait to try these.
I am a beginner on colored pencils, so a review like this is big help in choosing pencils to buy. Love how detailed and clear your review is. will follow.
Thanks so much for this review. These look fantastic and I'd love a set!
I love my Derwents, I have Inktense, Artist and Coloursoft collections, so can see where the Procolour will fit in the range. I think my only problem will be that lightfastness is still such an issue, I downloaded the colour range sheet and the lightfastness didn't appear to be as good as the Coloursoft. Luckily, I'm on an amateur and draw and colour for my own pleasure so not a big issue. Thank you for the great and very comprehensive review. :)
I’ve been doing so much research on which pencils to buy and this was on my list, you’ve answered all my questions, THANK YOU! It sounds perfect for me and they’re made in Britain, which keeps some of our jobs safe. X
Hi Carol. Thank you so much for your kind comments. If you don’t mind me asking, what are you wanting to do with your pencils, what type of art do you prefer drawing? Portraiture, Botanical, wild life etc or do you prefer adult colouring book art which is so popular at the minute.
@@TheArtGearGuide I’m just getting back into art again after many years, I’m paint generally in watercolour and have Caran d’Ache Supercolour soft which are water soluble. I was wanting a crayon that wasn’t watercolour soluble mainly to draw wildlife, botanical and still life, not too soft but not too hard either but able to blend. Thank you for your interest and advice. X
Great information that will help me decide what pencils to purchase next. You have guided me to the right place at the right time. Thanks
Thank you for the review. This video is very informative. These pencils are going onto my wish list for when I have some extra money.
Thanks for the video reviews you offer! It's crazy helpful to those of us who don't live in a place close to big art stores to try supplies...just a bonus youre offering a give away as well ;) these pencils look AMAZING! Fingers crossed....!!!
