Derwent Chromaflow Colored Pencil Review (wax based)
Blick: https://shrsl.com/2vb8s
Amazon: https://amzn.to/3sg6Lje

Pros:
Vibrant
Soft 3.5mm Cores
Highly mixable for infinite colors
Good coverage with little pressure (good for weak or arthritic hands)
Sharpens well in a small hole sharpener (if you don't have a small hole sharpener use a shallow point sharpener)

Cons:
Skinny barrel
No open stock availability as of yet
Not lightfast ratings as of yet but the company says lightfastness is similar to other Derwent pencils
Only 24 colors

Bottom line:
I like these a lot as someone who prefers a softer pencil. These are similar to Coloursoft but these mix in fewer layers rather than bend and seems to have a bit less waxy bloom. It is a very small difference but with this limited color, range mixing is important. I hope they come out with more colors and I'd love for them to have a larger barrel like other Derwent pencils. they are a bit more budget-friendly than Coloursoft but not much. Given that and the fact there are no open stock colors I'd recommend Coloursoft https://shrsl.com/2vb96 over these but I would change my mind if open stock, lightfast ratings and a larger range were available. Still, this is a great versatile set and no a bad addition to any artist's pencils bag.
