Faber-Castell Polychromos Color Pencils are the best colored pencils on the market. Each pencil features the highest quality pigments for unprecedented lightfastness (resistance to fatigue). Faber-Castell colored pencils feature a break-resistant lead that is produced through SV (secure-all) bonding that glues the lead the entire length of the barrel. The lead is water-resistant and smudge proof to ensure a smooth, rich laydown. The set includes 120 vibrant colors in a pristine wooden case that can easily blend for layered effects, highlights and transitions. Since 1761, Faber-Castell has been providing premium art supplies so watch your art work be elevated by Faber-Castell Polychromos Color Pencils.
