I wondered why my set of colored pencils that I bought in 2020 or even earlier isn't running out, and now I finally checked how many shades of different colors there are. There are 3 shades of brown, grey, red and orange, 4x yellow and pink, 5x purple, 9x blue and 9x green. Blue is ok, but WHY SO MUCH GREEN??? Even though that set is not specifically for artists, no, there are even more questions because of that. I understand that I don't really use green because I draw mostly portaits, and I need more shades of brown and gray, but what are even non-artists supposed to do with 9 shades of green, mostly bright?? I think that even if I drew nature more often, I'd barely use some of these pencils (there were some occasions when I needed some green, and none of those 9 matched, while I almost never have problems with other colours in this set). So I have a feeling that I'll never finish this set because of these green pencils...🥲
