The most recent box I got made me decide to renew my subscription. I may review individual products, but I feel that 3 box reviews are plenty :) Or, who knows, maybe I'll become a YouTuber who does those slo-mo unboxing videos.
The box had a few items, but the star was a tin of 12 Derwent Inktense pencils. I've tried watercolor pencils a few times and they've always made me feel inept. These 'ink pencils' work how I always wished 'watercolor pencils' would.

My overall review of Sketchbox is this:
The boxes seem to contain a few awesome things and a few things to pad out the box. Using their products has solved a ton of things holding me back. I was impressed by them providing translations for the packaging on Japanese pens in a previous box. The product demo videos they've started doing are also a nice touch.
I've checked prices for the box items on Amazon. The boxes are a chunk of change, but they do give good value and the items are very well chosen. A lot of the money I've spent on art supplies before was pretty much wasted. On a ROI basis, this has been money very well spent.
