Review: These have halved my drawing production time! - These have been amazing for me. I had been using conventional coloured pencils which I loved, but these CarbOthello pencils have at least halved my production time - the colour can be blocked in so quickly. Layers are built up in no time at all. The greatest timesaver is the ability to draw light over dark - no more slow, tedious negative drawing! I no longer need to use an eraser. Care needs to be taken in sharpening these pastel pencils, and personally, I’ve found the accompanying pencil sharpener effective, though pastel pencils do wear down the blade quite quickly. Pastel pencils can be sharpened to a fine point if done carefully, but the point can be very fragile and soon wears down - this is just the nature of pastel pencils! I’ve been using an emery board to achieve a finer point. In this large set of pencils, there is a good range of colour, though now, I do regret not having purchased a set of 72 pencils. However, I note that individual pencils can be bought. In comparison to other brands, these are very good value for money. I can definitely recommend them and expect to be purchasing more. I like that the pencil is not too thick, so comfortable for my small hands to hold. They are just a joy to use!
Review: I was honestly surprised at how good these are! - I bought this set as a treat for myself, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The pencils feel high quality right out of the tin - smooth to hold, with rich, vibrant pigments that layer beautifully on paper. They’re soft enough to blend easily (dry or with a damp brush) but not so crumbly that they break constantly like some pastels I’ve tried. The included sharpener works perfectly without wasting too much of the pencil, and the kneaded eraser and blending stump are such thoughtful extras. Even the tin feels sturdy and well organized, making it a pleasure to open up and choose colours. As someone who mainly works in watercolor, I didn’t expect to enjoy pastel pencils this much, but these have me completely hooked. I’ve already used them for adding fine details and soft backgrounds, and they play nicely with other mediums too. I would absolutely recommend this set to any artist, beginner or experienced.

**Q: Difference between stabilo carbothello - arty+ and stabilo carbothello**
A: I was surprised to get this question as an Amazon customer.
True I have been buying art supplies.
Having looked at Stabilo chalk pencils I believe this “Arti” is just a name Stabilo has added to the 60 pencil box, as they may presume you will do all your colouring with such an extensive array of colours and such a large box!
My experience has been very good using these pencils. You can cover a large area quickly and if you add a water brush to the dry chalk pencil marks it gives beautiful areas of colour. The choice of colours is also plentiful. I had a box with quite a bit fewer pencils.
Hope this info was of any help.😀

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect set! Lots of neutrals!
*by G***S on 8 June 2020*

These pencils are just what I was looking for. Got the advice to buy these from videos by wildlife artist Jason Morgan from YouTube - he’s always the best resource to go to for pastel art advice. They’re not without a couple teething issues - like sharpening is tricky if you like longer points you need to use a razor or sanding block since the sharpener supplied sharpens stubby points and the crank sharpeners I have break them easily. All workaround-able though. Colours are vibrant and the pastel is very easy to smudge and blend - I’d say these are the best I’ve tried and I’ve tried most popular brands. Plenty of browns and greys - fantastic as usually most sets give you very few leaving you struggling. Lots of warm and cool browns and greys - and black is very black. Comes with a stump and sharpener. Also has a kneaded eraser which feels a lot more like a conventional eraser to me - very hard, but does lift the pastel amazingly well. The tin is nice but I’m not a fan of the flimsy plastic layers as lifting them can cause them to bend and make the pencils fly all over the place (happened already to me lol). The set feels very weighty and well made, and the pencils are lovely to hold - being able to see the colour due to the lacquer on the outer of the pencil is a nice touch. One thing I SO wish there’d been is colour names on the pencils as I find colour names easier to remember than the seven digit numbers. Still worth every penny and so versatile. Love this set! I highly recommend!
