My daughter (12) got it for Christmas, it is great and used it at school. It has a wide range, so can meet many hues and the ink application is tired and easily. I myself have been so drawn / painted, and although not as crayons are my brush else, me the high-quality Faber pencils have yet very convincing. The price is completely justified by the quality because good agents contribute significantly to a good result - and of course you also have more fun while painting.
