120-Color Oil-Based Colored Pencil Set with Sketch & Coloring Books
Product description
Complete 120-color range: This collection contains 120 richly pigmented, oil-based colored pencils. Each pencil has a color-matching barrel so you can quickly find shades while keeping your workspace tidy. The set is intended for a wide range of uses — from adult coloring books to detailed sketches and layered illustrations.
Included accessories: The kit comes with ten printed coloring sheets to get you started immediately, plus a dedicated color-test sheet for trying blends and checking tones before applying them to your artwork. A compact sharpener is included and stored inside the pencil layout for convenience. All items are presented in a zippered carrying case that keeps supplies organized and portable.
Three types of paper: You’ll find a three-tone sketchbook for practicing highlights and shadows on graduated backgrounds, a classic blank sketchbook for freehand drawing and detailed work, and a coloring book filled with intricate designs for relaxation and practice. The paper choices support both colored-pencil layering and casual coloring.
Performance and build: These pencils use soft, oil-based cores designed for smooth application, easy blending, and gradual shading. The pigments are formulated to be long-lasting and lightfast. The cores are reinforced to resist breakage during sharpening and use, providing consistent color payoff across techniques like burnishing and layering.
Safety and packaging: Made from odorless, non-toxic materials and certified to ASTM D4236 standards, the set is suitable for artists and students. The zipper case and attractive box make storage and gifting straightforward, whether for a beginner learning technique or an experienced hobbyist expanding their palette.

Good for casual coloring
Decent pencils and durable enough for frequent use. Colors aren’t as vivid as I had hoped but overall they’re solid for basic coloring projects.

Wide color selection
Impressive palette with many distinct tones. Had to dig to find the pencil sharpener tucked at the back under a band.

Strong value and lovely color payoff
If you want a robust drawing and coloring collection, this set is a solid find. The pigments lay down smoothly and can feel almost painterly when blended. There are plenty of printed designs and blank pages, making it a relaxing creative pastime.

Nice assortment, though a few quirks
I received all 120 pencils; a couple of colors repeat, but the variety is useful. The sharpener is tucked under an elastic in the pencil tray and was hard to spot. The sketch pads are handy and the pencils are labeled and swatched. I’ll catalog samples in a separate notebook. The included case is serviceable but I may upgrade it later.

Smooth feel — test a few strokes first
They glide nicely, blend with little effort, sharpen easily, and are great for shading. Be careful with heavy pressure, though — colors can saturate quickly and push tones darker than expected.

Sharpener missing in my box
Everything arrived in good condition, but my package did not include the pencil sharpener that the listing showed. Otherwise the set looks great.

Excellent set — sturdy pencils and plenty of paper
This kit impressed me right away. It includes 120 true wooden pencils and two good pads of paper that stand up to repeated use. The cores are strong — I’ve used them nearly continuously for days without breaking a point while sharpening. There’s a huge range of hues to explore, and the pencils feel reliable for detailed work. Overall one of the best sets I’ve used since school.
