Watch my honest review of the Tombow Irojiten colored pencils. I thoroughly test these pencils to see how well they color, blend, sharpen and more. I even test how they show up on black. So compared to the Tombow Recycled colored pencils, are the Irojitens worth the money? Come find out!
3:35 CORRECTION: Oops, these are NOT new colors.

I have the complete 90 set (the 3 box sets which are cool looking but not exactly practical when using the pencils) and they are so precious to me. I use them only with the Kum Blackwing long point sharpener. However, you cannot use these like soft-colored pencils and expect similar results. Irojiten pencils are for layering and layering and layering and fine detail - you shouldn't be trying to burnish the paper after just 2 layers. I get annoyed at how many people complain about Irojiten after using only soft-core pencils. I don't like the neons much, but honestly they are still the best neon colored pencils I've ever seen. It's just really difficult to manufacture pencils with those kinds of pigments. I really like the picture you colored

+Heather Leisure, glad to hear you enjoy the Irojeten pencils so much. You are right...they really do love to layer! You may be right about needing more layers before burnishing, but the purpose of the worksheet is to perform a consistent set of tests to every brand of pencils so that consistent/measurable results can be achieved. It is a lofty goal when we are talking about comparing pencils with such vastly different qualities. But...most people need a place to begin their journey in learning about these awesome art tools and that is what I am attempting to provide. Thanks for watching.

I like the way these are put into color palette sets. The color on the pencils are close enough to the true color of the pencil. I find that this helps my club members choose the colors for their pictures. Even though you were limited with the colors you had to work with; I liked how you showed us to "Think outside the box". This set did not come with an orange you made do with what you had. I can't wait to share this pencil set with our coloring club. Thanks for your review!

When you pencil's axis is slanted to that of the sharpener, you may want to turn the pencil and and not the sharpener.

I really, really need the tranquil set. I love the lighter colors and always seem to have a hard time when coloring with wishing a color was just a bit lighter in the areas I want a lighter tone. I really like the way you color the cute little bird and it is really helpful watching you pick colors for particular parts of a drawing. I've been trying to work on color selection lately. Thank you for the wonderful review and coloring.

Faber castell has a sanded eraser in sharpened pencil format with a brush on the end. Very good for watercolour splash removal and edge crisping cleanup for paint, ink or crayons. I find my long point vertical electric eraser works super well on good quality wide core pencils with no stress on the core and it never breaks cores…and i don’t have breakage issues..during colouring…also a very large catcher for all the sharpening mess. Great fire starter if you are interested..in using the sharpenings again…

Hi, Jennifer! Thank you so much for the time you put into these reviews. They're really helpful to people like me on a limited budget to know what are quality products for the money. I was wondering if you've done a full page with the vivid set? I have a couple Lisa Frank books that I'm looking for really good quality, bright, vivid or fluorescent colors and that vivid set looks perfect.

I actually got 100 (sale price too) ....I got the 3 boxes of 30 and there was a little pack of a bonus 10 pencils. I haven't heard anyone else getting this it's always been 90 so not sure how I snagged that little bonus (just purchased them from Amazon) but super happy I did! I found the fluorescents quite scratchy and harder to get a good amount of pigment out of (just in relation to your blending test) but layering is amazing. Love this video btw very interesting and helpful so tyfs. I'm going to see if you have others now lol

Like Heather Leisure, I bought the 90 set in the little encyclopedia type books. Everything she said was exactly what I was going to say, so I won't repeat it. I will say that in 2017, on Amazon, I found at the 90 set was more expensive per pencil than ordering the three separate 30 pencil sets individually. I got all 90 by ordering them separately this way for about $72. I thought it was a great bargain, and I absolutely love these pencils. And there is no other black in the 90 set.

Hi: If I understand you correctly, you are saying the 12 colours in each set are new and not in the original 90 in the dictionary sets. I went and checked... they are all in the original 90 set (or to be precise, in the 3 sets of 30.) So, these are NOT new colours. I just about went and purchased them on amazon thinking they were new, but luckily I checked the colours listed and checked with the official colour lists.

I love your videos Jennifer. I have one suggestion. When you sharpen your pencils, it looks so awkward. I hold my pencil in my nondominant hand and the sharpener in my dominant hand and turn the sharpener. It goes quicker and does a great job. So I'm right handed....I put the pencil in my left hand and turn the sharpener with my right hand. Just a suggestion.
