I have had a lot
I have had a lot of requeststo review this set of colored pencils since I posted my review o the Brutfuner Square pencils last month, you can see my review of those here Square Colored Pencils?!? These might...
Shortly after that the Anstal stationary shop reached out to me to see if I would like the complete 520 Brutfuner set to review, here is a link to the set in their shop (differnt sized sets are available) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050...
Also now on Amazon USA: https://amzn.to/3RsTArZ
If you want to see how they were packaged you can view my unboxing here: How Many Pencils are in Here?!? Have ...
And here is a tutoril on how I made the pencil rack I showed in this video: Awkwardly Making an EPIC Colored Penc...
This set is humoungous! It might be right for you but it might not. Let's break it down and see!
Pros:
*Great variety of colors including pastels, neon and metallics
*Centered cores, straight barrel, nice build construction (3.3mm lead in 7.5mm body)
*Sharpens well to a fine point (lead is harder than Prismacolor, it is similar to Arteza and Deli/Markart pencils)
*Layers well
*Holds a point well
*blends with water or OMS
*Set came well packaged to protect from breakage and package is reusable for storage
Cons:
*Lots or near-identical colors
*The color numbers are difficult to read on the barrel
*Pencils are inconsistent in laydown, some are rich and pigmented and some are weaker and streaky
*Price
*Diffucult to blend
What would be the best use of this set:
*Classroom-the harder leads will be more resistant to breaks from droppage and the many similar colors mean several people could share this set and not want for a color or have to wait for one.
*rubber stampers or adult coloring book enthusists who need a sharp point and variety of colors for fine details.
*Studio decor, it is a pretty set of pencils to disply in jars or a rack
*As a design tool for color picking (the colored barrels can be used as color swatches)
*photo props
*as a cllectors item as it is the largest set I have ever heard of.
Bottom Line: I can't say if this set is for you. It's a lot of money to spend for a budget quality pencil and for that money you can buy a profesional quality set that meets your exact specifications that would have replacement colors availabe. What do you think?
