I just bought my first set of Derwent colored pencils and I'm, shall we say... underwhelmed. For the price ($70 for 24 pencils, though I got them on sale half off) and based on what I've heard about Derwent, I expected more from these pencils. They're not *terrible*, they just aren't as vibrant in color and don't seem to layer as well as I expected. I haven't tried blending them with solvent yet, so that might be the technique they require, but I feel like I shouldn't have to go that far to get good use out of them.
So what do ya'll think? Have you tried Derwent products before, and what are your opinions on the brand? I've wanted their Lightfast series but they're *very* expensive, and if they're anything like the Procolour series, they're just not worth it.
