Sehr gute Stifte, nur zur empfehlen!

Acheté pour faire un cadeau : très joli couleurs métallisées

Butterweiche Stifte mit einem wunderbaren Abrieb. Die Effekte auf schwarzem Papier sind zauberhaft. Sie lassen sich sogar bis zu einem gewissen Grad layern und verblenden.

Meine Erwartungen haben diese Stifte leider nicht erfüllt, die Qualität ist nur Durchschnitt und rechtfertigt keinesfalls den hohen Preis.Generell muss man zu dieser Art von Stiften sagen, dass diese nur auf dunklem Papier bzw. anderweitig vorcoloriertem Untergrund wirklich zur Geltung kommen, wer also eine effektvolle Wirkung auf normalen weißen Papier erwartet, wird ohnehin enttäuscht, dafür wären dies einfach nur ziemlich überteuerte Buntstifte. Doch auch beim Einsatz auf schwarzem Tonkarton überzeugen diese Stifte nicht, bzw. bieten keinerlei Vorteile gegenüber ähnlichen Stiftenvon Faber Castell, welche nur einen Bruchteil des hier aufgerufenen Preises kosten (10 Stifte für knapp 4 Euro, sehr ähnliches Farbspektrum). Nur einige wenige Farben der Spectrum Noir Stifte sind angenehm weich im Auftrag, überwiegend sind sie eher krümelig, was eine geschlossene Farbschicht erschwert. Teilweise unterscheiden sich die Farben auch nur so minimal, dass alles wie eine identische silbrige Schicht aussieht, aber nicht das eigentlich erwartete Farbspektrum abbildet.Natürlich sind die Stifte nicht völlig unbrauchbar, aber eben auch bei weitem nicht die "Offenbarung", die ich erhofft hatte - mir wären sie den Preis nicht wert gewesen, wenn ich sie zuvor hätte testen können. (Auch die oben erwähnte Variante von Faber Castell hat ihre Schwächen und ist in meinen Augen auch nur Durchschnitt, nur passt da der Preis deutlich besser zu!)

Nice pencils

Ich habe die Stifte zum kolorieren in einem Erwachsenenmalbuch benutzt, mit guten Resultaten. Die Stifte sind weich und satt im Auftrag, lassen sich gut vermischen. Negativ empfand ich jedoch, dass in einem Stift die Mine lose war, sie rutschte aus dem Stift heraus. Bei dem Preis hätte das nicht auftreten dürfen.

My mom loves these metallic pencils for her artwork projects. They are definitely 'metallic' as I've noticed many reviews siting the lack of metallic quality. They are well priced and a good choice for adding metallic dazzle to your art projects.

I purchased the Spectrum Noir Metallic Pencils because I wanted some mineral and metal shades for adult coloring books:1. Coloring gears and metal knickknacks in Daria Song's The Time Chamber (gorgeous and charming, buy it! or the similar The Time Garden -- both available on Amazon);2. Adding dimension to stellar objects in the NASA Earth & Space coloring book (buy it! it's beautiful, unique and gender neutral -- available on Amazon or Blick); and3. Creating a dew-like look to flora in books like Fantastic Planet (unique and fun) or Hokusai: Birds, Flowers and Nature (perfect if you love gradients) -- (both available on Amazon or Blick).The Spectrum Noir metallic pencils have been great for these purposes. The colors are saturated and they have a nice smooth laydown that is almost creamy for a metallic pencil.LABELING: The pencil barrels are colored to match the individual color names. The color name is stamped in silver at the ends and is easy to read.PACKAGING: The Spectrum Noir Metallic Pencils come in a metal tin with a convenient hinged lid. Inside is a plastic tray with individual pencil slots to keep the pencils from sliding around.COLORS: The Spectrum Noir metallic set is the only one I've found that contains a rose gold color. Note, there is no red, orange, or copper color (the Derwent metallics do have all of these).Here are the colors and tones:Silver: what you'd expect, about a middle-value grey.Nickel: warm dark grey.Gold: a warm orange-tinted gold, which is nicer than some of the yellow-green golds out there.Yellow: kind of a green-tinted antique gold.Rose Gold: more of a rosy-lavender tinted metallic.Mica: more true to the expectation of a rose gold color (when I hear "Mica" I think dark silver or dark grey).Pink: a warm dark pink.Violet: a purple-tinted magenta and surprisingly useful.Purple: a nice true purple color.Light Blue and Blue: there is a good distinction in value between the two.Green: a teal-tinted medium green.COMPARISON: I have 3 different brands of metallic pencils: Derwent, Spectrum Noir and Faber-Castell (in order of preference.) The Derwents are my favorite, for the reasons already mentioned.Like the Spectrum Noir, the Derwent metallic pencils have good pigment saturation and a pretty smooth laydown. I think the Spectrum Noir metallic line is useful if you want to do a lot of silver tones -- it includes 2 purples, 2 blues and 3 different silver hues (Silver, Mica, Nickel). However, I find the Derwent line offers an overall more balanced selection of metallics for typical use.The Faber-Castell metallic pencils are my least favorite. There is very little difference between the 2 pinks, 2 blues, or 2 greens offered. The Faber-Castell metallics are also the hardest of the 3 brands, which makes them less useful for blending and more useful for tiny spaces. The Faber-Castell metallic pencils are NOT labeled by color and there are NO color names on the box even, which I found infuriating. I had to first go online to find out the names of the colors and then mark them with a label maker to tell them apart. They come in a paper box with NO perforation that would have allowed you to fold it into an easel.SHINE: These are metallic TONED, not super glittery-shiny. Like all metallic pencils, they're metall-*ic* not metal; don't expect high-gloss. Personally, I find that the obvious shiny metallics have very limited use and am happy with the Spectrum Noirs. If I want something to actually look like shiny metal I'll achieve that with shading and blending. Instead, I use the shiny metallics (like Prismacolor Verithin or Premier Soft Core Metallic Gold) when I want a gold foil or stamped look to a design. However, it's worth noting that you can also layer the Spectrum Noir metallics on top of the Prismacolor metallics to add more shine to the Spectrum Noirs if needed, while still keeping the main Spectrum Noir metallic hue.BLENDING: Though they're really not made for this, I've found the Spectrum Noir metallics do blend well if using a light hand and building the values in layers. (I successfully did a 3-color gradient with them.) I've also been experimenting with using the Spectrum Noir metallics with the Derwent Blender & Burnisher set (available on Amazon). The Blender pencil does soften strokes and edges, and I haven't noticed and reduction in shimmer with it. I had hoped the Burnisher would add a high-shine quality to the metallics, but it really doesn't seem to make a difference with any of the brands. I think it is meant for use with traditional colored pencils, not metallics.

Es macht Spaß, mit diesen Stiften kreativ zu arbeiten. Ich muss mir noch mehr Farben besorgen.Ich würde sie jederzeit wieder bestellen. In dem Metallkasten sind sie sicher und übersichtlich aufbewahrt.

I bought these pencils this month to use with the pad I purchase at the same time .The pencils arrived in a tin as shown in the image but for preference, I moved them into this pencil case with my other coloured pencils The pencils go down in a lovely smooth way and have a creamy consistency. Some of the leads (the nickel in particular) were prone to snapping. I have far fewer problems once I had purchased a new helical sharpener.I was previously using the Spectrum Noir pencil sharpener that came with their colorblend pencils. I have included an image of how much I have left after finishing the Victorian Steampunk pad; you can see photos of all my completed work on the review I left for the pad. I am more than happy to recommend these pencils to anyone wanting to try out metallic ones, they are good value for the quality.
