Great pencils for drawing, painting and art supplies

I actually didn't use it much because it doesn't have the colors I need. Lead is very soft. I haven't used it much as I mentioned and the leash starts to break when it touches the edge of the case (although it's plastic). I tried it on paper. It mixes very easily with water and is very bright. I just hope it doesn't break the wood when I start sharpening it. This is the most common complaint. That's why I bought a Prismacolor sharpener. I hope this will solve the problem.

Pros
  • In combination with a brush and a water-soluble lead, you can sketch flowing liquids and create shimmering effects
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.

Good for watercolor sketches

Good for overlaying a sketch over a drawing, which does not stand out like pencil marks. But I think you need to brush them a bit before the color really blends with the rest of the colors in the painting.

Pros
  • Includes: Goldenrod, Sunburst Yellow, Orange, Carmine Red, Crimson Red, Copenhagen Blue, True Blue, Spring Green, Grass Green, Dark Green, Dark Umbra and Black Colored Pencils
Cons
  • Good to know

A bit hard to draw on

I had another brand where the lead almost disintegrated when wet. They tend to leave a crayon-like feel no matter how much moisture I apply. That can be nice in some cases, but I'd like to be able to erase the pen feel entirely if needed. Maybe I have a solid batch or need better technique but they don't do what I've achieved with other brands in the past.

Pros
  • Can be used wet for effects or dry to match the Prism color palette
Cons
  • Crumpled

Good Bible Diary Kit

I had never used watercolor pencils before buying these pencils. I bought it at the recommendation of several Bible Magazine blogs that I follow. After using them in my own Bible Journal, I was hooked! This is a nice adult update of Crayola Colored Pencils. I'm by no means an artist, but I enjoy using them for doodling and journaling. The thing they come in is also very convenient. The only thing I would have wished for was to buy a bigger set with more colors!

Pros
  • Pigments have excellent solubility for smooth application
Cons
  • So far so good
