These are great for coloring vinyl for reborn doll making. I use the blues, purple and reds for veining, the whites for finger tips or low light shading, the brown and black for lashes or brows or creating darker creases, the orange for blushing and character crease detail (only 4 available of the orange...I believe they are going to discontinue this wonderful color).   They are more forgiving than the watercolor pencils.
