These are great for small details
This is the swatch test I did on these pencils. They are harder than other pastel pencils they don’t go down very creamy but the pigment is great especially on the black . You do have to press a little hard with them . The blend is great on colors similar like red and orange but something like blue and red turns a little muddy rather than turning into a purple . I recommend using these along with another set just for fine details or outlining . I don’t see myself using these just on their own . I think it is a great value for its price . The biggest downside is the useless eraser . It only erases the grey I tried it on the blue and the color didn’t erase . I am happy with these . It also comes with a great sharpener that works quite well .

The sharpness and hardness of the chalk-like pastel pencils are ideal in drawing detail. They easily and magically blend colors and yet can be erased well with the erasers on the end of each pencil. They have opened up a whole new world of art to me! It's nice to hold the wood of a pencil, to keep fingers clear of pigment. I only wish the pencils came in a nicer holder. This one is plastic and one needs to pop out the pencil from the back of the plastic holder so as not to disturb the pencil point by digging it out from the front. (But I'm sure this keeps the cost down, and I can invent a better holder.) The little pencil sharpener worked wonderfully well, which surprised me! I'm going to try to send my pastel "painting" to show how I used these pencils. It is my eye, somewhat enhanced!
