June Gold 36 Assorted Colored 2.0 mm Mechanical Pencils, 36 Extra Refills, 2 Sharpeners, 36 Unique Colors, Bold Thickness, Built in Pencil Sharpeners

great product and does well with my koh-i noor mechanical pencil set

The leads have good colour and reasonably strong.

Thank you

There aren't any duplicate colours so far as I could tell, however the colours are very waxy, meaning this doesn't really errase that well, and inking any drawing over this isn't that great either. So depending on what you bought this for, it can be pretty usefull. But for use as a base drawing to then work into a full art piece, this isn't the best option.

Nice and handy very compact

I'm not a fine-artist, but I've tried many premium-grade and decent student-grade colored pencil sets. Yes, the ones that cost 2-3 dollars or more per pencil make a huge difference (hint, get a SMALLER set, plus some earth tones, then add only the ones you need as they come up, individually. Don't pay for a huge set with a dozen or more that you will never use...). But those, such a range of properties- wax, oil and water based, colorfastness, fixer-fastness... And yes, save your important works for those premium wood pencils and your best paper... many 'best of' lists can tell you which high-quality artist brands have which properties.But June Gold Mechanical are THE BEST go-to colored pencils of the many many I've tried. Sure, these are not even high end student-grade, they're 'budget grade' - but the waxy pencils DO have decent color saturation- I was surprised, they are not kiddie-grade, they really will address a full expressive range for decent sketching. But I have to defend such high praise for a budget-grade, so here goes:1- They are mechanical- so ALL your worries about grab-and-go sketch or doodle pencils- broken leads, frequent messy distracting sharpening, disappear.You can ALWAYS just grab any color and it's ready no matter what. You can use them anywhere- a bus, a subway, sketching in front of the tv- you don't break concentration to deal with points that crack and fly off, having to sharpen constantly, when you do, the lead inside is cracked- no worries about being careful, these can ride in your bag and take a beating getting bounce around... Always works, nice and compact.2-They are a more compact set, and more saturated and easier to use than the little sets of mechanical pencils you can put colored lead into. (I've tried a number of those. Heavy pencil, far more wax than pigment, small range, poor blending...)3- lightweight-- easy to hold, and the full set of 36 is light (the full set weighs less than most sets of 6-8 colored mechanical pencils...)4- Each pencil has a sharpener- you never HAVE to sharpen these, but if you want a really crisp tight point, because there's no wood, you can put a needle fine point on the lead in a second. AND, no searching in your kit for the sharpener, no messy wood peels to deal with- great if you're sketching on transportation, in a museum or coffee shop etc. And, just fast, get right back to drawing, no fussing with your sketch or drawing tools.5- Great range of colors- I was impressed at how many super vivid bright 'modern' colors there were, along with how full the earthtones and the skintones (diverse range- thankfully) there are. They are inepensive but the color choices in the set are remarkably well thought out especially for those tricky ombres, blending, etc. Really full range within each color family. Very close match to a really good oil paint set.- whatever your style- cartoon, graffiti, manga, earthtones, classical, florals, portraits, - for your practice, studies, sketches- don't burn out your expensive good set on that. The beauty of these is the range has no limit, so you can bash these around and still use them with no hassle, while you're sketching around composing the work you want to do with your 'good' pencils.6- The case is great. Sounds silly. But the crystal clear package they come in - so you can see EVERY color and just reach for it, but they don't spill out, or get all mashed and mixed up in the box (it actually has a clear plastic divider inside to easily keep them neat) is ALREADY all the 'carrying case' as well as laid out 'grab and go' work setup you'll need.- I carry my stuff around with me, and I like it laid out nice on my desk at home. Usually that means transferring them to a case or roll (large, fussy, you can't see all the colors at once without needing a large area to spread them out, etc.) These fit in any bag I have, and I can leave the case IN my bag, flip the top open, SEE all the colors and slide out the ones I need, no fuss. In a coffee shop, or at my desk the compact case shows all the colors in a small area, no pencils rolling around, no popping open a tin and spraying pencils all over, breaking all the leads.If you want super-high end colored pencils for your artwork or important grown up coloring book or mandala work at home at your desk or easle- and you know you want those- DO make the investment.But if you want a colored pencil set that is SUPER easy to transport, store, lay out for use, sharpen if you want to, with a full range of saturated colors and a really good set of colors- full range of blues, reds, ,,,, as well as range of neutrals, black and white- MINUS the fuss of broken points, broken lead all down the wood case, no heavy metal mechanical pencils, nice full range... great for blending?Then THESE are for you. I was absolutely shocked how VERY much value there was in this super-inexpensive set, AND how incredibly convenient and really smart and perfect even the package, it's perfect portable carrying case-was.95% of the time, my fancy wood colored pencils and even my better student grade, and my limited set of 8 mechancial colored-lead pencils--- ALL sit in their containers on their shelf. Unless I'm doing a nice finished work, for 'art' sake or to give to someone- but all the rest of the time, THESE are the ones I actually use.

Minas de excelente calidad con una tonalidad adecuada, las uso en sustitución de las que se incluyen en los Zebra sensations, quisiera adquirir un set más pero ya no las he visto con disponibilidad, lo cual es una lástima.

Was as advertised and more lead then I thought

Excellent

Me ha sorprendido que haya 36 colores en minas de colores. He comprado cinco lotes y creo que ya no necesitaré más mientras viva. Para trabajos de poca importancia, es un sistema muy cómodo. Además los lápices de marca que tengo, me durarán más tiempo. Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que utilice mucho los lápices de colores.
