The set is a great selection. In fact, by simply adding the sandpaper to a set of color pencils, Derwent did what other color pencil sets do not. Derwent then added the sticks of color to make filling in large areas of color easier. The set is designed simple enough. When you open the metal lid, you flip it over and take the first layer ink sticks and pencils and place it in the metal lid. Then you have two metal trays full of supplies using plastic trays to organize the supplies.

Hindsight is 20/20, I'm sure... and it's only my opinion that the color section in the Derwent Master High School Manga Drawing Set with the sandpaper and pencil sharpener in a much smaller tin would have been more convenient.

If you have a coffee table to yourself, you'll probably love this set. And since it is Derwent Inktense line, you can apply water to everything.

And as amazing as these pencils are, they have two simple annoyances. They are delicate to climate... too cold for long and they tend to split, including in shipping, at a warehouse, or in the trunk of a car. The second simple annoyance is that they are sized larger than an average no.2 pencil, so pencil sharpeners or an electric pencil sharpener can be a shopping item. Performance wise, I don't know of a better color pencil.

Update: Tombow Dual Brush Pen Colorless Blender, #N00, One Brush Pen, 56645 This product works with these Derwent Inktense pencils. This product allows you to do wet brushstrokes without going to find water.

These colors are exciting. I have not used them much yet, but intend to. I have great plans for these and fabric coloring and quilting.

Honest reviews on Derwent Inktense Selection Set

I bought the pencils to use on fabric hoping they are permanent on fabric. I plan on testing my work by ironing it, and then on one side using fabric medium over the top, and leave the other side bare. I think this will give me the best idea if it will be successful.
