Caran dAche Luminance 6901 Clr Pncl Set 76 Artist Rng

They are freaking expensive. That being said, they are a dream. They color like butter across paper. I would say you don’t have to work as hard coloring because they lay down color so easily. I have to say you don’t have to get a whole set but I feel like this set is well balanced. It has a good row of warm and cool tones and neutrals. Good for portraits? Most likely. And considering the light fastness ratings and high end materials put into these bad girls. Yeah I think these will archive well. Ok I’m done. Go buy them when the price is lower. I’ve been waiting for the price to go down. It’s done this a few times. Also packaging is wonderful. They will be staying in their box when I’m done coloring my drawings. Lol

I am used to using Prismacolors and Derwent colors. These are a blend of the two, really. They have so much pigment and are soft. They are vibrant with little to no application. They are easy to blend. I got these on sale, so I can imagine trying to replace one that you use the most.

Love everything about these

Beautiful pencils. They are smooth and just going on so nice. Great colors. Im enjoying them alot. Not a fan of how they are labeled as it is hard to read but Ill get used to it or relabel them.

Great

I told myself that I would not buy these pricey, lightfast colored pencils since taking up color book coloring these past few months. However, I used to be an artist years prior and so I was intrigued by the Luminance portrait set of pencils, which are not duplicated in the full 76 count line by the way. I was so impressed with their layering and blending capabilities that I found myself using them on other types of pictures as well as portraits. I love using Caran dAche Neocolor I and II and found outstanding pigmentations in the Luminance colored pencils too. So now I own the full set of Lumies and I am so pleased with them. Is lightfastness necessary for a color book colorist, not as far as I am concerned. They are an investment for sure, but my creativity is important to me and so I enjoy using pleasing tools on extraordinary artists illustrations. These are beautifully constructed instruments meeting Caran dAche quality standards. The only complaint that I have would be some of the color names printed on the barrel are hard to read, but thats irrelevant, given the beautiful performance of the pencils.

They are very nice pencils smooth good for blending they are very professional the pencil is very nice it’s self lead doesn’t break if you drop it like prismacolor, they don’t break every five seconds too but the box came a little broken but very nice

Amazing pencils, worth the extra cost. I’ve been using them on Derwent Lightfast Paper and they put my Prismacolors to shame

Expensive yes. But if you’re serious about coloring/being a colorist, you have to have these. They’re amazing. sturdy, tips don’t break off, vibrant, smooth, blendable and layerable. Buy them!

Best coloring pencils ever - wish they made more colors!!! They blend well with other pencils. But, dont forget they are PERMANENT and they are permanent. Very little room for error.
