pastel . These erasable colored pencils are fun to work with, but their not like regular colored pencils. They are not very smooth when you draw with them, and they tend to skip. Some of the colors are a little more vibrant than others, but they produce pastel colors. They erase fairly well,but the black doesn't seem to come off as easily or completely as the other colors. If you're sketching and you want to erase the black go really light with your lines. The pencils are labeled by color and have their own erasers. There are enough colors in the 24 pack to cover the spectrum of skin tones. They come sharpened and have a nice long point.I use them to practice drawing skills. I bought them because they are erasable, and I wanted to experiment with them. I think they are good for adults and would be good for children.

Crayola 24ct Erasable Colored Pencils Reviews
More like crayons than pencils but they do erase . I am a teacher and bought them primarily so that I could grade papers in color and erase what I wrote if necessary. They produce color and erase cleanly on regular typing paper which is good. However, the feel and consistency of the tips is more like a crayon than a graphite pencil. They are wooden pencils that can be sharpened in a standard sharpener. The "lead" tends to crumble at the ends. When I try to print it is sometimes sticky and sometimes too light. They are pretty good for what they are, they are not intended to be high end artists pencils, and they do erase cleanly.

Crayola 24ct Erasable Colored Pencils Opinions
Invaluable Engineering Tool! . As a geotechnical engineer, I use these pencils to mark up plan sets, color cross sections, edit reports, you name it - they erase well and the many colors make editing plans and sections so much easier. If you're interested in these pencils for their artistic value, walk away, but if you just need colorful & erasable, these are for you.

erasable colored pencils . These pencils were harder to color with than typical colored pencils. They stick to the paper rather than glide across it smoothly - very frustrating for younger artists, which doesn't make sense because it seems as though the "erasables" are targeted at younglings. they do, however, erase well. I returned them.
just ok . My 8 yr old says the eraser part works better than the pencil part. The pencils are very faint and not bright. She has to push really hard to make the colors show but it does a great job of erasing (maybe b/c the pencil colors are faint.) I would not buy this again.
These colored pencils really erase! . My daughter scribbled with these and then expected the usual unsatisfactory erasing job. She was amazed that the erasers really lifted the color! Colors are standard; it is the erasers that make these pencils special!
Cons Review
In the ongoing war for colored pencil supremacy . In the ongoing war for colored pencil supremacy, Crayola is not about to let any competitor muscle in on its dominant position. The company already stocks regular colored pencils of the traditional hexagonal type, and in two lengths The seven inchers they call "long," but that's really the norm -- they now have shorties half the length, called "short," as well. Then there are slims. There are twistables. And now they have these new erasables, although they come off as about 20% crayon and 80% pencil.
On the pro side: They are not traditionally woodcased (hexagonal) in form; they have nice round but not overly large barrels and the names of colors are printed on a white background;
Eraser color is color-coordinated to the color of each pencil.
On the con side: Crayola was so literal with color-on-barrel that I couldn't read the name of the yellow one on the barrel (blame our yellow sun);
The eraser is competent but occasionally a tad crumbly;
Yellow is poorly represented, not even as strong as standard crayons or colored pencils I've used (that darn sun again!);
There's a bit of -- I won't call it tack, but drag -- compared to other colored pencils I've used, though that may be good for kids used to crayons making the transition to colored pencils (Then again, do we as a society need five successive types of color stick between kindergarten and semi-pro?);
-- and --
They cost more.
Now here's a dirty little secret. **Most good pencil erasers (non-latex, the type on a good mass-produced pencil like Dixon Ticonderoga, not the Big Box buck pack) will erase most colored pencil lines or shading most of the time.** These Erasables being special, they are a little more resistant to a regular pencil eraser, but even so let them sit (or is it "set?") overnight and they'll erase easily, too. Col-Erase and (Dixon) Ticonderoga both market "regular" woodcased (six-sided) colored pencils with ferrules and erasers attached if you don't have a no. 2 handy.
As for utility, I'll award Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils about a two, because several trim lines of colored pencils by Crayola (and a bunch of competitors out there) already fill a need for the kid who's bored with crayons and old enough not to poke people in the eye with a pencil.
I thought the sharpener on the back was kind of lame; I don't think there's any metal in it. I e-mailed Crayola's Customer Service Dept. to get a recommendation for a better hand sharpener with replaceable blades and not likely to become encumbered by whatever goes in these Erasables to make them slightly waxy (surely not paraffin wax?). Two days later a nice lady wrote back and recommended the Brass Bullet model by Alvin at around five bucks (replacement blades are available at this site). In fact, hand sharpeners are best for any colored pencils I've known; good electrics will eat that soft lead too quickly and hand-crank models are too rough. Another suggestion: if you wind up saving money after reading this, please invest some in an art-paper pad. Bright white coated twenty-pound 8.5 x 11" paper (i.e., standard office photocopier feed) has poor absorbency and is too thin to be fun. In fact, I use an art pad from Crayola when I want a smaller piece of paper than a standard art pad (Style #99-3404 -- but since it has skunks on the cover and I'm 55, I'm afraid to take it to the café). Crayola rates that pad for ages 3+, and Crayola lists these Erasable Colored Pencils as "off limits" (see ideogram on back of pencil package) for under 3 years -- that's a match.
Two and a half stars rounded up to three because of Crayola's legendary Customer Service Department and because I don't want to get Crayola mad at me.
