Lovely box of excellent pencils
If you're going to get a set of Inktense pencils this is the one to get. Lovely, well made wooden box which holds the 48 pencils securely in plastic grooves on the bottom and top lid, with an extra wooden holder across the whole of the upper lid, held in place with magnets to prevent any pencils from shifting around. The pencils themselves are gorgeous, lovely rich colour which goes on smoothly, especially on cold pressed paper or Bristol board, and which turn into beautiful rich shades when water is applied. You can get a great depth of colour by layering the same shades, or different ones, and can work wet over dry or vice versa, as well as taking colour directly from the pencil tip with a wet brush. The 48 colours includede are a good range for each colour, with plenty of greens especially. A versatile, exciting product only enchanced by the lovely packaging, this would be an ideal gift for an artist (or just treat yourself).

Great pencils, not such great customer service
The pencils are awesome, really versatile and do all they promise to with a great colour range HOWEVER 1) I am a prime customer yet my parcel took just as long to arrive as if I wasn't, which is annoying as what's the point in having Prime if it's no guarantee? And amazon only let me know it would be delayed after waiting in all day for it to arrive 2) there was a colour missing (replaced with a duplicate) and amazon wanted me to send the whole set back (despite them selling the individual pencils) which after the initial delay I really didn't want to have to do LUCKILY I emailed Derwent first and they sent me a replacement pencil with absolutely no fuss at all which arrived very quickly so should anyone else have this problem I suggest you try contacting them first

Love these inktense pencils.
They are very versatile. You can use them as normal coloured pencils, layer them or use them with water and a brush. The results are stunning. They look professional, they come in a wooden box with a bar across them which has magnets so that it can't fall down. They can go on paper or material, wood and concrete and many other surfaces. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Unique and awesome
These pencils are amazing. I have managed to use them for illustrative and fine art work. They dont' have so many 'natural' subtleties for portraiture etc but for stunning artwork they are brilliant. Unlike other water solubel pencils that mix/blend when re-wet, these do not. For this reason they are excellent for layerin and glazing techniques. This makes it easy to mix in a way that creates wonderful luminosity. A little tricky to get used to at first but well worth the trial and error to perfect.

These are a delight
Arrived on time and packing was good, the wooden case is perfect!!! Beautifully made, the pencils are a delight, vibrant. I use a model knife to sharpen, keep pencils away from water. Water should be applied to the drawing/paper.

Intensivste Farben im netten Holzkoffer :)
Ich nutze mittlerweile seit über zwanzig Jahren die Derwent Stifte für Porträtmalerei und bin mehr wie zu Frieden damit. Habe mir nach gut einem Jahrzehnt mal wieder ganze Stiftekästen (72er Chromaflow sowie die 72 Inktense im Holzkoffer) gegönnt, da ich ansonsten die Stifte bisher einzeln nachgekauft habe. Beide Stiftearten haben richtig angewandt ihre Vorteile und lassen sich insbesondere kombiniert sehr gut verwenden. Das Portrait von Herrn Hetfield (Bild1) wurde auf strukturstarkem Acrylpapier zur Probe der Stifte gezeichnet. (Habe hierfür auch nur diese beiden Stiftsorten verwendet) Durch die Maserung bei dickem Papiers entstehen i.d.R. viele weiße Stellen, die durch anfeuchten des Auftrages mit den Inktense sehr eben und deckend wurden. Gerade an dem schwarzen T-Shirt lässt sich gut erkennen, wie sauber und eben die Flächen werden. Natürlich ist ein möglichst flächendeckendes "ausmalen" auch Voraussetzung. Da diese Stifte aber auch sehr, sehr cremig sind, sind filigrane Details ehr schwierig. Dafür eignen sich wiederum hier die ebenfalls pigmentstarken Chromaflow, da diese ein wenig härter sind und hervorragend über den Inktense sich auftragen lassen. Der Auftrag erfolgt ebenfalls sehr flächendeckend und es lassen sich selbst z.T. helle Details auf dunklem Grund nachzeichnen. Beide Stiftearten lassen sich auch super mischen und kombinieren. Mit glatterem Papier und ein paar anderen Arbeitsmaterialien ergänzen die Derwent Stifte super das Profisortiment und es lassen sich realistische Darstellungen zeichnen. (Siehe Bild 2 ). Ebenfalls ein dickes plus ist das unschlagbare Preis-Leistung Verhältnis. Im Gegensatz zu anderen "Marken" ist der Preis sehr fair und man bekommt sehr pigmentstarke und robuste Stifte dafür. :) Ein ebenfalls nettes Gimmick ist der Holzkoffer. Die Stifte liegen fest und sicher darin, während die Mienen durch weichem Schaumstoff am Rande vor Bruch geschützt werden. Die Beiden Holzstreben, die mittig die Stifte stützen sind mit Magneten sicher in einer kleinen Schienenführung angebracht, damit auch nichts woanders hinrutscht. Dennoch lassen diese sich gut entfernen und die Stifte einfach entnehmen. Bezüglich Brüche oder Transportschäden kann ich auch nicht klagen, da alles gut verpackt und heil ankam.

A great gift for art lovers!
My husband got these for me as a mother's day gift about a year ago and even with heavy use I still have not needed to replace any of pencils! Not only do they work amazingly well dry but they also work well when wet and have great durability! There is a great color variety and I have only needed to supplement 3 colors from the additional 28 colors that have come out! I think these pencils are a great value and I absolutely adore them! This is one of the best gifts I have ever gotten!

É a coisa mais linda que eu já comprei. Pode comprar de olhos fechados.
É a coisa mais linda que eu tenho hoje. Um sonho. Acabamento empecável. Fora a qualidade dos lápis que é indescritível! É perfeito como presente.

Satisfaite.
Reçu en avance. Bonne qualité de crayons. Je n’ai fait que le nuancier pour l’instant car je viens de les recevoir, mais je sais que je vais en profiter comme il se doit! Belle boîte en bois avec baguettes aimantées pour retenir les crayons. J’aime l’odeur, le touché de la boîte, et les fermoirs dorés! Très joli !
