coloured pencils
I’ve been looking at coloured pencils. Will 60 set of polychromos be enough in general? Or should I look at a cheaper range with more colors? There are so many different brands to choose from too.
Or maybe I should buy a small set / single pencil from each brand and see if the price is worth it?I currently have Marco Raffine which is considered very good value for the price according to various reviews. But it’s probably still a lot worse than the mid / high range ones?

My two cents @cheryl , you should look for oil based or wax based ones if you want to be able to layer, mixing, blending etc….Myself tried cheap ones but was very disappointed. So I went for Polychromos 36 set. So far so good. I’m doing the avocado 🥑 tutorial drawing and have enough of them to complete it.

@pacific8118 Thanks. This is also my concern with cheap pencils. I might just be wasting money. And I can always expand my collections in future as I can buy single polychromos. But then I’m also looking at similar like prismacolor, derwent chromaflow etc

Great question, Cheryl! 😊 A set of 60 Polychromos pencils is more than enough for almost every project. I always recommend investing in better quality over a larger number of lower quality pencils. You can always add individual colors later as your collection grows. Your Marco Raffine pencils are a great place to start, so there’s no rush to upgrade.

@alihaiderrehman Thanks for your feedback. I’ve actually just ordered the polychromos since its Amazon Prime day here and it was 30% off!
