Review on πŸ–οΈ Prismacolor Premier Soft Core Colored Pencil Set - 48 Assorted Colors (3598T) with Scholar Colored Pencil Sharpener (1774266) by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing purchase at Drawing Media

I have wanted these crayons for a long time and the only reason I held back was because of the price. Don't get me wrong, the price is far from super expensive. Thing is, where I live I can buy a set of 50 Crayola crayons for about $5. Crayola may be cheap, but when I use it over watercolor it doesn't look as pretty. What really convinced me to just do it was an Instagram artist using Prismacolors on brown paper. The colors looked so amazing and blended really well that I was dying to try them in my watercolors and I have to say. I LOVE IT. That's basically all I wanted. It's super pigmented. It blends so easily with another color and the gradients are easy to achieve. One quality I love is when I sharpen it. You'll achieve sharpness with minimal pointing and no breakage, which also means you don't waste as much pencil. I just really like it and will definitely buy it again if I ever wear my set. If, like me, you are hesitant to buy this product, I would simply say go for it. I don't think you will be disappointed. Photo examples: first drawing with colored pencils and second drawing with Prismacolor pencils (note: I drew both drawings on the same day)
