These are great!

I was looking for new colored pencils but found everything was either sold out or VERY overpriced due to the "Adult Coloring Book" craze. These were actually put out by a coloring book artist - Johanna Basford - to be sold alongside her coloring books. Now that the coloring book aficionados have moved on to something else, I picked these up a decent price. I got the 36 piece set and the color range is pretty good. The lead is soft and blends easily. I also really appreciate that they have been protected with this white coating and it really does help to prevent breakage - which is one of my biggest peeves!
