This collection of crayons is the cutest and most dreamed of thing for my bookshelf.
Going through this library the big surprises were "Sallow" and "Wax Yellow". Seriously? Yes! Woodlands is a special palette of stories, fables, mysteries, children's dreams. As always, I'll remind everyone Irojiten is may favorite color pencil for creating deeply sonorous colors from optically mixed layers. Write your dreams in a journal. Illustrate them with the Woodlands library.
The colors are beautiful but I havent done any drawing yet
I am a huge fan of Tombow's Irojiten colored pencils and the dictionary sets are a "Must Have" for me at all times! I love detail. Extreme detail. My drawing style consists of very fine lines, so I prefer pencils that hold a very sharp point when they are sharpened, and won't break under pressure. I'm pretty hard on my pencils, and have a heavy hand, and I love how strong the lead is, and how sharp the tips remain on these pencils. They never break in my electric pencil sharpener, and always sharpened to a very fine point. I found the sharpened tips remained sharp for long periods of time before I needed to re-sharpen them also. The colors are vibrant and laid down very easily on bristol board. And the pigments are deep and rich. The round shape and the smooth enamel finish sits very nicely in my hand. I draw for long periods of time and tend to squeeze my pencils tight, and they remain very comfortable over long stretches of drawing. The color blending of these pencils is extremely smooth, and layering and building up colors is easy to achieve. And I especially like how thoughtfully Tombow has given to the variety of colors and shades in each dictionary set. From deep dark tones to soft pastels, there is everything you need. These pencils are a "Must Have" in every artist collection!!Attached are some of my drawings created with Irojiten Colored Pencils Dictionary Sets
I have every color pencil under the sun, no joke...and these are my favorite! I love these pencils so much!! They feel fantastic in the hand, the finish on them feels great, the weight is great! The tip stays much sharper for longer periods than any other I own. The colors are wonderful, they are smooth to work with, I just can't say enough good things about them! I have not gotten two of my friends to try them, and they love them as well. I'm a big supporter of Tombow pencils, give them a shot you won't be sorry you did!
