For my drawing: this set is by far my favorite that I've used. Lol and I've used a lot of different products; in-fact, sometimes it feels like my actual hobby is collecting art supplies :p. Anyways; the stencils are made from a quality plastic (at least I think it's plastic) they are bendable and don't snap in two. The measurements are clearly marked, and hasn't started to fade; even after traveling in my backpack for a month and rubbing up against things. I honestly don't use stencils or French curves very often while drawing. But it's an important tool when I do need something to be proportionally "perfect". Although, the small stencil that comes with this set is actually one of my favorite drawing tools; because its small enough to survive as a bookmark in my sketch book. Personally I would buy this set again just for that little stencil.

The French Curves are okay for what I wanted. I'm not a big fan of the hard plastic; it will scratch and I'm sure it wouldn't be tough to accidentally break one while traveling or w/e. But I can't knock it for that, because it keeps the set affordable. However, one critique about the curves that I think is fair: I wish the edges of the curves were raised a bit more to help me keep the edge off the page while using these to ink. If you get ink on the edge of the curve, it's easy to make a mistake while lifting the curve off the page or setting it back down.

All in all I believe Mr. Pen makes the best stencil set for the money. I have to say that stencils can make drawing more difficult than it needs to be, because it's easy to become overwhelmed trying to choose exactly the right sized shape. But Mr. Pen has done a good job of simplifying their stencils into the shapes and sizes I need for those tough moments that call for some assistance.

Thick enough that I don't have to worry about my pencil slipping, compact enough that I can carry them in my satchel.

French Curve and Template Ruler Set, 6 Pieces sems decent, however I would've liked to have a storage bag of the sorts for protection.

This was needed for a special class and it met the need. Sturdy and useful.

Very nice templates. Edges are smooth and leave a clean line. The various sizes and curves are ideal for my needs. The French curves (green) are a thicker plastic than the circle and square forms (transparent), but both work well and are easy to use. The price point and the quality are excellent and I would recommend if you have a need for this product.
