Dare I say I love my 120 Brutfuner pencils more than my Prismacolor...? I do, I do, I do!! 😃 Sooo pigmented! You can sharpen them to a fine point and not have to worry about them breaking. Plus I don't have to apply layer after layer after layer to achieve my desired degree of situation. And the price, A-MAZ-ZING!!!! One of the best coloring purchases I've made in quite some time! 😍😍
I agree. I really enjoy these square pencils. I don’t have the black barrel set, although 180 pencils is attractive. I wonder what happened to the Brutfuner 580 set?
So nice to see a comparison between their 180 round and the 120 squared. Crazy the differences between the two. I seriously appreciate and applaud the effort you put out to put things in color order and do these detailed reviews. I can only imagine how long it takes!
They are definitely different. Yes it does take a very long time but I love doing it as long as everyone wants to see it. Thank you so much for your kind words. I’ve been watching your channel and your coloring is beautiful. Happy Coloring!
@@PamelasPassionforPencils awe ty very much. I did giggle at the heavy handed colorist mention. I am heavier handed and def admit it. I've been slowly tweaking my pressure over time though. I love that you take the time. I just never have the time myself to do these things. Let me know if you ever put the 192 ohuhu brush sets in order (120 reg. 36 skin, and pastels). I'm dying to find one
The pencils look beautiful I want to get some but right now I have other priorities trying to get my cochlear implant surgery setup and get everything I need for that. But hopefully I can get the pencils in August for my birthday because I love love love colored pencils so much and I’m so happy that you did a review on them thank you so much ❤️
Oh interesting! Your set of round brutfuners look like Soucolour, CreativePeak etc with the black barrels and coloured tip. My round Brutfuners are single colour barrels and are smooooooth. Will carry on watching to see how the black barrels compare
Thanks for doing the comparison video. I'm glad the square 120's do well in WOF. I've been having trouble finding oil pencils that work well in Johanna Basford's books. I would like to have options other than Prisma for her books. I've colored several pictures in WOF with Arteza colored pencils and they worked beautifully. Also the Staedtler Ergosoft work well in WOF, but they work best when well sharpened. I'm just starting with the square 120 Brutufners and I didn't get off to a good start coloring a leaf in Nightfall. I will have to try again. That book has more tooth than any other paper I've colored on, it's not easy to get it burnished with any pencil I've used so far including Prismas. I'm glad the 180's work well in that book, I have them too but haven't used them yet. Daydreams, Hanna Karlzon, has paper that I've found to be most receptive to every pencils I've tried in it so far. Thanks again, great video!
I used your link just now to order the 120 set. They are still prime & still 15% off! Thank you for this video, it really helped me decide what pencil set I wanted to go with. Now I’m going to join your Facebook group!
Thank you so much for using my links. It really helps me to be able to continue to bring great content to all of you. I hope you enjoy your pencils. They are really wonderful. Happy Coloring!
Thank you for another great video! I have the 180 set and wondered about the way they are performing in the Romantic Country (Eriy)book paper so I printed out your 180 swatch chart on Neenah card stock 67lb bristol and find I like them much better. I have the Luna book by Maria Trolle so I'll try them. Love your videos etc...! Have learned alot not only about techniques but also products. 🥰
The Brutfuner Squares are awesome. The pigments are great and they lay down smoothly. These pencils were easy to sharpen in my hand held KUM sharpener. I have an Afmat sharpener but hate wasting any pencil cores from electric sharpening. Keep up the great work Pamela.
Is there a video in your playing where you demonstrate which pencils work best in a particular book? If so, could you link the video for us? Thanks for bringing such value to us. 🙂🤗💛
Thank you for sharing, I’ve just ordered the 180 set I have the 120 round also had the square but gave them away as couldn’t get used to them love from the UK xx
You are L O V E L Y to do this !!!!! Thank you so much, Pamela !!!! I have the collection of 160 and I’m like : Is it me or are these pencils really good ? 😳 🙂😃😉🦋
dont buy the round ones they arent that good, if your gonnna buy some get the square if anything....theres another set of brutfuners as well that are 3totally different than what she showed they are also round but with open barrell at the end
I love the square brutfuner and carnt believe how cheap they are . I wasn't expecting much but I love them and doing a video on them soon , they say they are a premium pencil but in my opinion I like them more then castle art
I have a set of Kalour 180 (red tin with the stag head) they look just like these round brutfuners. As I watch her color it looks like they color the same as well. Kalour is wax based so i am wondering if the round bruts are wax as well.
Hi love your videos they are so educational. I have learnt so much from you. Does the 180 set have all the same colours as the 120 set. Thanks for your a.l you videos. X
Have you ever tried out and compared the Brutfuner watercolors 180 set? I do have those to try out and wonder if I would need to also the the oily ones...
Hi! I was hoping you would do a comparison between the 120 & 180 set. To be fair shouldn't the exact colors from each set be tested against each other? There are pencils within the same set that feel differently. I had originally ordered the 120 set but when I saw the 180 set for only $6. dollars more, I returned the lesser set because it just made sense financially.
I was wondering that too... are there exact matches in the set and are they the same number? I guess I'm just curious because I have the square 120 set and I'm pretty happy with it.
Hi there. Curious are you going to purchase or have you the 520 set that people have been talking about and compare those for us? I’m curious how the pencils from that set will compare to the ones you are showing us from the 180 rounds. I have heard people say that the pencils from the 520 mega set are not as good as the squares but I don’t know about the rounds or if it’s the same pencils as the rounds but just more of them. Would love if you could test those out since I trust your judgment. Thanks so much.
I much pefer the square the round are fine but love the square especially for the price. You certainly begin to wonder if the fabulous polychromous are worth the x9 price. Would love to see comparison. Perhaps i shoukd just try myself lol.
Pretty examples of colors and blending. But hmm, is there a lack of consistency of color for same colors between the two sets? Maybe I'm spoiled by another brand of oil based pencils. The other brand is consistent in colors between their oil based pencils and their watercolor pencils.
I have been using Soucolor 180 pencils and they are identical to the 180 set...numbers correlate I love this pencils and am wondering if I need (haha) the 120 set.
I checked with that brand and the Soucolor is WAX not oil, so they are two different types of pencil. I see people continually claiming sets are the same, including reviewers and it's a bit upsetting seeing them repeat that the sets are the same. If s pencil set does not clearly say OIL then I'd say it's wax and I'd at least contact to be sure. That'd be a major mistake. I'm kind of blown away with videos with folks not knowing that all these various companies look the same because they come our of the same factories that are black label. They work just like cosmetics such as eyeshadow. They go through a catalog and choose packaging options, choose a basic stock pencil and then there are some basic formula options. They look the same because they literally have one basic look then you just choose color, pencil type, fonts and then they slap a logo on them. All these Chinese companies including Castle Arts, which actually is not any more superior than all these others, they just market and brand better seemingly to compete with Arteza (they can't, in my opinion), are using the same manufacturers and thsrs why they look and act similarly. Its mostly in packaging, but it doesn't guarantee its the same exact set, and wax/oil is a meaningful difference, esepecialy for artists who need and prefer oil over wax for what they want to achieve. I almost bought one of these so called "same sets" to save myself ten bucks but I needed to be sure. Nothing on the package saying oil, unlike the actual oil thst says so. Sure enough! I would've been really angry and had to return and reorder, as I have no need for wax pencils. Everyone needs to stop assuming, stop telling people they are the same and buyer beware! Always check with the company first!
@@edeneverly2573 I saw a video of Brutus 120, the names and numbers were identical, that was my reasoning. It really doesn’t matter to me, all I look for is a pencil that gives me good result and makes me happy. This is a hobby, not a profession…I do it for relaxation and stress relief. By the way I do have many sets, some say oil, it perform just like wax…go figure.
Look for a pattern with the performance with both sets with the papers you use and let's see how well they work with and the comparison,that way you'll know better about their quality in the leads and how to take advantage of them
Does the sound matter? I have the 180 set and love them, but I’ve also ordered the square ones because like many I’ve an addiction. I got the Derwent 72 set of pro colours for Christmas and they make “ that sound” denoting it’s nothing to do with price etc... just a wee side note , the deli 72 set is fab for budget pencils
I have the 120 square set, the 160 colour round barrels and the black barrel 180 round set and my favourites are the coloured round barrels. They do them in 120 or 160 yet I never hear anyone revealing them or talking about them in groups.
Shelley, and what can you tell about difference between 120 square and 160 colored pencils? I have the last ones and havily consider buying square set. Help me make a decision.
Just discovered your channel, I am very impressed with what I have seen so far. I subbed and gave you a like. This 180 set looks very close to a set of Shuttle Art 174, which in fact I do not like the quality of. I am considering buying the Brutfuner 120 set after I watched your review. I am curious as to how that 120 set would behave alongside a good quality wax brand like Prismacolor or Derwent Colorsoft.
Hi Dave! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my channel. The 120 square set work very well with the Polychromos. I actually have a video review of them if you’re search my channel. I did a blend test with the Polychromos in that video. If you’re so purchase them I also have a video where I put them all in color family order for everyone too! Happy Coloring!
I enjoyed the video thanks. What I would like to see are the colours of both sets side by side as I'd like to know if the colours are the same. I have the 180 set and thinking about getting the square 120 set but not if the colours are the same.
I got out the Brutfuner pencils again this morning to use in the the Seasons by Karlzon. Again, I was disappointed with how they lay down and blend. When they are burnished they have a shiny surface with lines showing. I keep trying but I have not been successful with these.
I picked up a bigger set of the brutfuner & even within the set the quality of the leads can be different. I really noticed it in the purples. Thought maybe it was me lol
The best thing I saw finally answered my question what was number 55 in the square set that was the one I did not get in my set I got 2 110 purple pencils nice color 💜 but now I do want my teal one that I did not get some set out there has 2 55. Pencils and no 110 that is curious there all there in number of pencils but how many out there are not messed up by 1
I got 2 duplicate pencils and was missing one so I contacted the seller through Amazon. Through a series of emails the seller said he’d send me the pencil I’m missing. It’s been 2 and a half weeks and nothing. So far I’m disappointed in the seller.
@@lindam.6782 So I actually contacted the seller after posting that comment about the pencil I was missing. They replied with "it seems the parcel got lost in the carrier's warehouse." Which I personally thought it sounded like a BS excuse. But they also did offer me to re-send the pencil or a $2 refund. I decided to go with the refund. Considering each pencil averages out to like 25 cents I thought the $2 was quite generous of them.
Honestly both sets are really good & the blending difference between them is small, they both blend well. It really depends on what you want to use them for. I would say that the 120 square set are a better all round pencil because they work better on smoother paper whilst still performing well on paper with more tooth. So if you are a colourist who colours on lots of different types of paper, get the square ones. If however you always print out your coloring pages on a specific paper which has tooth, or you're more an artist than a colourist and again use art papers with a surface, then the 180 set is better because they perform slightly better on rougher paper & they have a larger range of colours. Hope that helps.
They both look so wonderful but I think I like the square one more... too bad its square format because its unconfortable isnt it? Thank you so much for the video, Pamela!
idk if anyone has said this yet, but the 180 is actually wax based. They are the exact same pencils as the Soucolor 180. Made by the same manufacturer, just different companies slapping their label on them. That happens a lot with Chinese pencils. Different people trying to capitalize on the exact same pencil. Just like how the Costco Kirkland diapers are made by the same manufacturer as Huggies. People just pay more for the brand.
No, they are NOT. They are oil and say so! The 180 is OIL the SOU is WAX. They are not the same. They only look the same because all those companies use the same black label manufacturer. They choose options from a catalog and slap their logo. That's why they look the same, not because they are the same pencil. The Brutfuner 180 goes to lengths describing the pencil and clearly describe and label them as OIL. Gosh. Getting ridic. If the description and box especially don't say oil then assume wax, but contract and confirm before you buy. Do not rely on folks who make assumptions. You'll likely cause yourselves stress.
Those are identical to my Soulcolor. Even the numbers and names, from what I can tell in your video. Would love to see a side by side comparison of the two.
I have both and LOVE the squares but haven’t used the round ones much yet. Im hoping to do so finally tomorrow with a piece I have laid down the framework in watercolor pencil and want to compare each of these by doing each separate half of a sliced strawberry using 1 set for each side with matching colors from each set
I’m sure there may be some that are close matches just as with any other colored pencil set. But, these are two completely different sets and the 120 set has some beautiful colors I’ve not seen in any other set.
Think of us here in Australia. Even with Prime it’s a three to five week wait. My square pencils have been shipped after a two week wait. Another couple of weeks to wait. Sigh.
I'm in Australia and I bought the square brutfuner from aliexpress....$51 and super fast shipping. Had them within 1.5 weeks. Have just bought the rounds..waiting for them to arrive
The 180 set are fake, the real Brutfuners according to their site goes up to 160, also after people have done tests on the 180 pencils have found they are actually wax based and often have misspelling on pencils.
Hi Maria, They are not "fake". There is no such thing as a fake set of budget friendly pencils. They're just a different set of pencils all together with the same brand name. Thank you for watching. Happy Coloring!
@@PamelasPassionforPencils Try their website and why then are they advertised as oil based but are wax based and not actually from brand labeled? Fake was a term for fraudulent.
So they aren’t the same pencils? This just goes to show how poor quality they are- the product should be the same. Not totally different pencils between two sets. Anything from China can’t be trusted. Look up white labeling- a factory will make colored pencils (or another product) for multiple Companies. All those weirdly names color pencils come from the same company just different labels and brands- SAME pencil. When you buy a quality brand made in Europe like Caran D’Ache, Derwent, Faber Castel or even Holbein in Japan, you will get quality and consistency. If it’s made in China don’t trust it
Hi Sarah, I completely understand your point, but I have many subscribers that love budget-friendly colored pencils from China. I understand white-labeling and how that works very well. Not everyone can afford to go out and purchase something like Caran d'Ache, Derwent, or Faber Castel. For that reason, I do many videos on budget-friendly sets as well as artist-grade sets of colored pencils. I have quite a large amount of subscribers that are beginners. When you're first discovering this hobby, and not sure if you're going to stick with it, these budget-friendly choices are wonderful to have. These pencils are not the same at all. They are two completely different sets and that's okay. It gives us colorists variety whether it comes from China, Germany, or Japan. I have many different colored pencil sets and use my budget friendly sets from China just as much as I use my Prismacolors, or Caran d'Ache Luminance or Pablos. Happy Coloring using whatever colored pencil set you're enjoying at the moment.
Wich are you recommending? The square 120 or the round 180? I really want soft pencils for my disney books but they are all so expensive and than I saw these and I thought I need these!
Dare I say I love my 120 Brutfuner pencils more than my Prismacolor...?
I do, I do, I do!! 😃
Sooo pigmented! You can sharpen them to a fine point and not have to worry about them breaking. Plus I don't have to apply layer after layer after layer to achieve my desired degree of situation. And the price, A-MAZ-ZING!!!!
One of the best coloring purchases I've made in quite some time! 😍😍
I agree. I really enjoy these square pencils. I don’t have the black barrel set, although 180 pencils is attractive. I wonder what happened to the Brutfuner 580 set?

Yes please a video for the heavy handed colored pencil user. Like me. Thanks for your great videos.
Filming this one right now! Look for it soon!
Yes please. I'm heavy handed and I do my best to hold the pencils further up the barrels, but the struggle is real 😄
This was a great comparison!! 👏👏 It's great that the set with more colors surprised you. 😍 Signed a color addict!! 🌈
Oh interesting! Your set of round brutfuners look like Soucolour, CreativePeak etc with the black barrels and coloured tip. My round Brutfuners are single colour barrels and are smooooooth. Will carry on watching to see how the black barrels compare
Same company makes them then they put their own logo on it
Because of you, I love Stickles too. They just elevate any artwork 🧡
I love my Stickles!! 💕
@@PamelasPassionforPencils they are the best! Great video btw, thank you!
Thanks for doing the comparison video. I'm glad the square 120's do well in WOF. I've been having trouble finding oil pencils that work well in Johanna Basford's books. I would like to have options other than Prisma for her books. I've colored several pictures in WOF with Arteza colored pencils and they worked beautifully.

I was lucky and got the 120 square set for 20 Euros from amazon germany when they were on sale 😃
Just discovered your channel, I am very impressed with what I have seen so far. I subbed and gave you a like. This 180 set looks very close to a set of Shuttle Art 174, which in fact I do not like the quality of. I am considering buying the Brutfuner 120 set after I watched your review. I am curious as to how that 120 set would behave alongside a good quality wax brand like Prismacolor or Derwent Colorsoft.
Hi Dave! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my channel. The 120 square set work very well with the Polychromos. I actually have a video review of them if you’re search my channel. I did a blend test with the Polychromos in that video. If you’re so purchase them I also have a video where I put them all in color family order for everyone too! Happy Coloring!
I enjoyed the video thanks. What I would like to see are the colours of both sets side by side as I'd like to know if the colours are the same. I have the 180 set and thinking about getting the square 120 set but not if the colours are the same.
The 120 square Brutfuner have some very beautiful unique colors that you wouldn’t find in the 180 set.
I got out the Brutfuner pencils again this morning to use in the the Seasons by Karlzon. Again, I was disappointed with how they lay down and blend. When they are burnished they have a shiny
surface with lines showing. I keep trying but I have not been successful with these.
I picked up a bigger set of the brutfuner & even within the set the quality of the leads can be different. I really noticed it in the purples. Thought maybe it was me lol
I love it when you say y’all, I am in Texas & of course we all say y’all here! 😊
Yay! Thank you! I just can't help it. I love my "y'all"! I have been told this twice already today! haha!
@@PamelasPassionforPencils well y’all must be doing something right! 😜
The best thing I saw finally answered my question what was number 55 in the square set that was the one I did not get in my set I got 2 110 purple pencils nice color 💜 but now I do want my teal one that I did not get some set out there has 2 55. Pencils and no 110 that is curious there all there in number of pencils but how many out there are not messed up by 1
I would contact Amazon.
I got 2 duplicate pencils and was missing one so I contacted the seller through Amazon. Through a series of emails the seller said he’d send me the pencil I’m missing. It’s been 2 and a half weeks and nothing. So far I’m disappointed in the seller.
@@lindam.6782 So I actually contacted the seller after posting that comment about the pencil I was missing.
They replied with "it seems the parcel got lost in the carrier's warehouse."
Which I personally thought it sounded like a BS excuse.
But they also did offer me to re-send the pencil or a $2 refund. I decided to go with the refund. Considering each pencil averages out to like 25 cents I thought the $2 was quite generous of them.
they are 520 colours too right?
The 180 set just looks like my Castle Art 120 set. Are they the same pencils? Although the Castle Art are wax based.
They are two completely different pencil sets. One is oil based and the other is wax based.
@@PamelasPassionforPencils ah, thanks. Now I know that I like oil based pencils. That's good to know.
which are softer?
So in the end which one should I buy I'm focusing on blending more please which one should I buy
Honestly both sets are really good & the blending difference between them is small, they both blend well. It really depends on what you want to use them for. I would say that the 120 square set are a better all round pencil because they work better on smoother paper whilst still performing well on paper with more tooth. So if you are a colourist who colours on lots of different types of paper, get the square ones. If however you always print out your coloring pages on a specific paper which has tooth, or you're more an artist than a colourist and again use art papers with a surface, then the 180 set is better because they perform slightly better on rougher paper & they have a larger range of colours. Hope that helps.
What is 160 like ?
They both look so wonderful but I think I like the square one more... too bad its square format because its unconfortable isnt it? Thank you so much for the video, Pamela!
The square Brutfuners are actually really comfortable in the hand. I love them.
@@PamelasPassionforPencils Thanks Pamela!!
Hi Pamela... which sharpner do you use to sharpen square shaped brutfuners?
This sharpener is wonderful and works on most pencils amzn.to/3WKKkkJ
@@PamelasPassionforPencils thanks dear👍🏾
idk if anyone has said this yet, but the 180 is actually wax based. They are the exact same pencils as the Soucolor 180. Made by the same manufacturer, just different companies slapping their label on them. That happens a lot with Chinese pencils. Different people trying to capitalize on the exact same pencil. Just like how the Costco Kirkland diapers are made by the same manufacturer as Huggies. People just pay more for the brand.
No, they are NOT. They are oil and say so! The 180 is OIL the SOU is WAX. They are not the same. They only look the same because all those companies use the same black label manufacturer. They choose options from a catalog and slap their logo. That's why they look the same, not because they are the same pencil. The Brutfuner 180 goes to lengths describing the pencil and clearly describe and label them as OIL. Gosh. Getting ridic.
If the description and box especially don't say oil then assume wax, but contract and confirm before you buy. Do not rely on folks who make assumptions. You'll likely cause yourselves stress.
What kind of sharpener do you use for the square pencils? mine don’t fit my sharpener 😅
This one works wonderfully on most all pencils! amzn.to/3ZYoMEf
@@PamelasPassionforPencils thanks 😊
Ok now I have to buy the 180 set just because it has "Dodger blue" 😁
Those are identical to my Soulcolor. Even the numbers and names, from what I can tell in your video. Would love to see a side by side comparison of the two.
Yes they are the same exact pencil sets.
Please make a review for Colleen pencils from Japan! 😊😊😊
💛💛💛
There are 12 metallic pencils in the 180 set. I'm liking this set a lot. Don't have the squares.
That is what I thought! Thank you so much!
I have both and LOVE the squares but haven’t used the round ones much yet. Im hoping to do so finally tomorrow with a piece I have laid down the framework in watercolor pencil and want to compare each of these by doing each separate half of a sliced strawberry using 1 set for each side with matching colors from each set
Do they colors match between the sets?
I’m sure there may be some that are close matches just as with any other colored pencil set. But, these are two completely different sets and the 120 set has some beautiful colors I’ve not seen in any other set.
Good afternoon ❤️
Do you have a video for left handed people who are heavy handed😑🤔
theres also another set of pencils that are brutfuner& look totally different then these two sets so the ones you have arent the only brutfuners
There are actually several different Brutfuner or sets. They even have another pet still set available now as well.
Maybe there is a difference because the 280’s are water soluble?
These are not water soluble. There is another set that are watercolors I believe.
Right. It’s the 180 set. Sorry.
Think of us here in Australia. Even with Prime it’s a three to five week wait. My square pencils have been shipped after a two week wait. Another couple of weeks to wait. Sigh.
Try Ali express
@@tcormio1359 even longer here.
I'm in Australia and I bought the square brutfuner from aliexpress....$51 and super fast shipping. Had them within 1.5 weeks. Have just bought the rounds..waiting for them to arrive
Please create that how to color if you're a heavy handed
I got my 120 set for 26$ today on Amazon
Great video 🤲🌸🤩
Thank you
É exatamrnte isso, alguns lapis funcionam melhor em determinadas folhas!
The 180 set is just shuttle art
Yes i need to not be so heavy handed thanks
It's such a hard skill to learn. Take your time. I have a video coming soon on heavy-handed coloring. Have a great day.
My brutfurners have been butchered by my pencil sharpener because they are square... I'm gutted 😢
Oh no. What sharpener did you use? As my sharpener has worked no problems with them x
@@Shelleyweaver84 it's just a faber castel sharpener but it's proper buggered them up iv ordered the dahl that Pamela uses in the hopes it will work x
Yes the dhal 133 is what I also use and works perfectly on them x
My brutfuner dont look diffrent from these.
The 180 set are fake, the real Brutfuners according to their site goes up to 160, also after people have done tests on the 180 pencils have found they are actually wax based and often have misspelling on pencils.
Hi Maria, They are not "fake". There is no such thing as a fake set of budget friendly pencils. They're just a different set of pencils all together with the same brand name. Thank you for watching. Happy Coloring!
@@PamelasPassionforPencils Try their website and why then are they advertised as oil based but are wax based and not actually from brand labeled? Fake was a term for fraudulent.
So they aren’t the same pencils? This just goes to show how poor quality they are- the product should be the same. Not totally different pencils between two sets. Anything from China can’t be trusted. Look up white labeling- a factory will make colored pencils (or another product) for multiple
Companies. All those weirdly names color pencils come from the same company just different labels and brands- SAME pencil.
When you buy a quality brand made in Europe like Caran D’Ache, Derwent, Faber Castel or even Holbein in Japan, you will get quality and consistency. If it’s made in China don’t trust it
Hi Sarah, I completely understand your point, but I have many subscribers that love budget-friendly colored pencils from China. I understand white-labeling and how that works very well. Not everyone can afford to go out and purchase something like Caran d'Ache, Derwent, or Faber Castel. For that reason, I do many videos on budget-friendly sets as well as artist-grade sets of colored pencils. I have quite a large amount of subscribers that are beginners. When you're first discovering this hobby, and not sure if you're going to stick with it, these budget-friendly choices are wonderful to have. These pencils are not the same at all. They are two completely different sets and that's okay. It gives us colorists variety whether it comes from China, Germany, or Japan. I have many different colored pencil sets and use my budget friendly sets from China just as much as I use my Prismacolors, or Caran d'Ache Luminance or Pablos. Happy Coloring using whatever colored pencil set you're enjoying at the moment.
Wich are you recommending? The square 120 or the round 180? I really want soft pencils for my disney books but they are all so expensive and than I saw these and I thought I need these!
