Yucanuva 120 Oil-Based Colouring Pencils Set for Adults (Zipper Case, Sharpener & Eraser)
Product description
If you’re picking up adult colouring pencils, it helps to know what kind of results you’re chasing. This Yucanuva set leans into oil-based colouring: the idea is bright, pigment-rich colour with smooth laying down, plus the ability to blend, shade and build layers without fighting the pencil.
That doesn’t mean it’s automatically the best choice for every style of drawing. It’s more “comfortable to work with and easy to get pleasing results” than “ultra-specialist for fine art techniques”. And if you’re expecting ultra-lightweight, super-specific professional behaviour, you might find it a bit limiting—especially if you’re used to higher-end pencil ranges. Still, for many adult colouring book sessions, sketches and starter-friendly projects, it looks like a practical, all-in-one kit.
What this set is for
This is a 120-piece coloured pencil set designed for adults who use colouring books, but it’s also presented as usable across different skill levels—so it’s aimed at beginners, students, teachers and more experienced artists who simply want lots of shades to hand.
The included zippered case matters more than it sounds. With 120 pencils, organisation is half the battle. Rather than leaving everything loose in a drawer, the elastic loops are meant to keep pencils together and reduce the “where did that colour go?” feeling.
A common micro-scenario: you’re sat with an adult colouring book, and you want to soften edges between two neighbouring tones. With oil-based colouring, the claim is that colours go down smoothly and blend easily, so you can focus on shading the same area over multiple passes instead of having to rework it from scratch.
Key points
You get 120 oil-based coloured pencils with bright, rich colours and a wide range of shades, alongside a sharpener and eraser.
Each pencil is said to have a unique number and colour name to help you pick the right tone quickly, which is handy if you’re working from reference pages or you like to keep a consistent palette from one drawing to the next.
It’s also positioned as lightfast pigment that won’t fade over time, with cores described as break-resistant—worth considering if you’ve had pencils snap mid-session before.
What to expect from the colouring experience
On paper, the practical goal of this set is smooth coverage, good hardness for consistent lines, and the ability to layer colours. Oil-based pencils are typically chosen when people want richer pigment laydown and softer blending compared with some harder, more dry-feeling alternatives.
The description also says the pencils are pre-sharpened, very easy to write with and erase. That combination can be genuinely helpful if you’re still learning or if you prefer to do lots of small adjustments—like sketching a light outline, erasing mistakes, then pushing the pigment gradually.
Where it may not fully satisfy everyone: “smoothness” and “coverage” can vary depending on paper. If you use very slick paper, you might find colouring behaves differently, if your paper is rough, the blend and layering feel could be less buttery than expected. It’s not a deal-breaker, just something to keep in mind when evaluating whether this set matches your setup.

What stands out in day-to-day use
The biggest everyday advantages here are the “kit completeness” and the shade variety.
You’re not just buying pencils, you’re also getting a sharpener and eraser, plus the zippered case with elastic loops. That tends to matter most for beginners and casual users, because it reduces friction: start creating sooner, keep things organised, and avoid scrambling for tools when you’re halfway through a page.
The numbered pencils with colour names are also a quiet quality-of-life feature. When you’re trying to recreate a particular look (for example, matching a skin tone or building a gradient in a sky section), being able to locate the same shade again quickly helps you stay consistent.
Who it suits (and who might want to look elsewhere)
It makes sense if you want a broad colour selection for adult colouring books, sketching, drawing and layering, and you’d benefit from a set that’s ready to use straight away with a sharpener and eraser.
It’s also worth considering if your priority is getting bright, pigment-rich results with blending-friendly handling, without having to source tools separately.
You may want to skip it if you already have a very specific pencil system you’re committed to (because different oil-based ranges can behave differently on your preferred paper), or if you’re chasing extremely fine, demanding techniques where pencil feel and pigment behaviour become very particular. In that case, this set may still be fun, but it might feel more mid-range than fully precision-focused.
Is it worth it?
Buy it if you want an easy-to-use, oil-based coloured pencil set with a large shade range (120), plus the practical extras to keep everything usable and organised. It should suit everyday adult colouring sessions, beginner-friendly sketching, and artists who like to experiment with layering and shading.
Don’t buy it if you know your work depends on very specific pencil behaviour (paper compatibility, stroke feel, and colour laydown) and you’re already dialled into a particular pencil range. In those cases, this kit can feel like a general-purpose supply rather than a precision upgrade.
If you’re undecided, the most sensible check is whether the type of oil-based colouring and the “smooth blending and layering” approach matches how you like to colour—because that’s the core promise this set is built around.
