Polychromos are considered by many to be some of the best colored pencils on the market. But are they all that they’re cracked up to be? They cost more than most colored pencils, so are they worth the money? Watch my in-depth and honest review of these colored pencils below.
Not only do I address how well they color, but I also test how well they blend using Gamsol, a white colored pencil, a colorless blender and more. I also test how well they show up on black. Let’s just say that by the end of my review you should have a really good idea whether or not these pencils are right for you.
In the second half of the video I do a real-world demonstration by coloring a cute little hen that I drew. This coloring page is available as a download to my Premium Members.

Jennifer….oh my. Do you realize how much time you have saved me with these swatches and the color wheel. TONS!!! I am new to this medium of art but realized early on that I needed more organization…help early into this journey. I knew I needed swatches and that packet you created with the color wheel was spot on! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this type of stuff and your willingness to share my dear.
