    Great review Amy! I love General's charcoal.. it was the first set I ever got, and I've always gone back to General's when I need more. I love your rose, it turned out beautiful!

    That looks like a great set, Amy - thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. Loved the rose you created. I didn't really think you could do much layering over charcoal without fixative, so I definitely learned something, thank you! 🤗

    Hi Amy,
    great review. I've always thought that General's were a decent product and a great value. I do have some pencils I like more, but then they also cost a LOT more. :)
    By the way, your rose turned out really nice. I like the mottled background you created as it added a little variety and visual interest.

    these are extremely crappy pencils, i have bought multiple. these pencils break continuously. i dont recommend these at all. at first I thought I was me. i was told I probably dropped them. thats why the led is breaking every time I sharpen. i used multiple methods to sharpen. dosen't matter they break all the time. they'd do more good in the garbage. I wouldn't buy them is they cost five cents
