This set is awesome! I was not expecting the drawing pads included so I was pleasantly surprised. It all came in a tough back canvas case( not plastic!), and it holds all of the pencils in elastic sleeves, so they are easy to take in and out, keep your desk tidy, and so easy to take away to workshops and classes. It also had a really handy colour wheel type ( which you normally have to pay extra for!) Also ideas and pages to colour in. I am extremely happy with my purchase!
