Caliart 176PCS Art Supplies Sketching Kit with 100 Sheets 3-Color Sketch Book, Graphite Colored Charcoal Watercolor & Metallic Pencils, School Supplies Gifts for Artists Adults Teens Girls Boys Kids

My thirteen year-old great-grandson is a budding artist. No one even knew he could draw until one day he sketched his grandma lying on the sofa watching television. The resemblance was uncanny. I bought him this art kit hoping to develop his talents. He is thrilled with it. Maybe we have a budding Rembrandt on our hands.

This sketching art supplies set exceeded my expectations! It came with a great variety of pencils, from hard to soft (H to B), along with charcoal sticks, erasers, a sharpener, and blending tools — everything you need to start drawing or refine your skills.The pencils have smooth, consistent lead and are easy to control, whether you’re shading or outlining. The sketchbook included (if yours came with one) has decent paper quality with minimal smudging or bleed-through.This set is perfect for beginners and hobbyists, and even advanced artists will appreciate the variety. Great value for the price — I would absolutely buy it again or gift it to an aspiring artist.

Good quality and nice assortment. Compact, which makes it a great travel set for long car rides.

Great item. It has all the colors you need and all the pencils you need to work with. Very fun to use, great price for everything you get.

I ordered this so i could keep my supplies in a nice closed container. I recieved it and opened it up on the large desk at work. My coworker thought they should get one for their child. So i zipped it up, handed it over and ordered another one.If you look at the review pictures and other reviews they mention one of the elastic holders not holding in the water color pencil. This was true in both of mine. However, if you swap the marker and that pencil. They hold very well. An easy swap for what is a design "flaw". In quotes because it is extremely useful for me.I always intended to swap out the watercolor pencils and the brushes to fit in some of my other supplies. I have a pen i like to ink my outlines. It is a bit fatter and wouldnt fit into the elastic without effort. The one larger spot that cant hold the pencils. It holds the pen snug. Flaw to Feature. Works for me.All in all. Going through the two kits, everything was the same. I did not check the marker in the first kit. The one in the second works fine. I saw some folks got them dried out and thought id mention it.The sketch book fits in nicely. It is a nice bit of space for it. My other sketch book fits in the spot even though it is quite abit thicker then this one. So there is alot of play with swaping and bringing extra supplies.Overall, each kit i got was very nice. Ill be trying water color pencils in the future since i got them. However, I always planned to swap them out so i didnt factor any of them into my score. While there are features i would like that are not present. This is a solid kit and will be traveling around with me for quite some time. I paid 23usd per kit, and im very pleased with the quality to price. I feel like i will be using the case after using up the suppies within.No Photo because i swapped out the watercolor pencil stuff for items not included and dont feel like shuffling everything back around.

It is a birthday gift for my granddaughter at the end of Aug. I think she will love it.

Perfect!!!! Great price for all that comes with it! Variety is perfect and quality is beyond expectations! Easy to use love the carrying case very thick !

It was a great kit for beginners
