So I’m not sure if someone else has commented on this already. But I’m a colour pencil artist. And you should look at the Caran d’ache luminance colour pencils. They’re soft similar to prismas (Iv heard). I use them and love them. Iv never used prismas though.. (can’t get them here).

@threedogsinatrenchcoat6336 3 года назад

At work we call them brown tape machines. It looks like you only have half the machine? There is supposed to be a top part with a lever and you pull the lever and it will give you a cut piece of sticky tape. And there's a thing on the side with inch measurements that you can choose how long you need it. Edit: Oh and you're going to have to get blade/sponge replacements for when you need them.

@patriciahamel5674 3 года назад

Have you ever tried the Faber castell goldfaber colored pencils? Not the watercolor ones, the regular ones. They are supposed to be "student grade," but they are really good quality. That might be a close option to sub in for prismas if you can't get them to work with you.

@erinskilbrei 3 года назад

I use Faber Castell Polychromos, and I’ve heard so many people saying they’re better than the Prismacolors! At least one can draw full blown color portraits + obviously there are 120 colors 💪🏼 And also Caran D’Ache, however you spell it

@patriciahamel5674 3 года назад

@@erinskilbrei polychromos aren't necessarily better than prismacolor. They are oil based, whereas prismas are wax based, so the two are very different. I don't actually like to compare them at all because I enjoy both and feel like they both have their place. Caran d'ache are really good quality, and they offer both wax and oil based pencils as well (luminance and pablos), but I wouldn't really compare them with prismas or polychromos because the formulas are so different that it's not really an equal comparison. I suggested goldfaber because, to my knowledge, they are wax based. They also have a similar softness and density to them that compares well with prismas. They glide like butter and blend beautifully. I actually prefer them over prismas just slightly because they don't break as easily. Unfortunately, though, because they are a student grade product, they do have a limited color range. I think that there are only 48 colors total. But the good news is that they can be used interchangeably with prismas and blend well with them, so for personal coloring and drawing, they are great to have on hand.

@thissettlefashion 3 года назад

Hi, You may already do this with your emails, but something that could help cut down some stress or at least hopefully some of the time it takes might be to make a generic template you can use and apply to emails. Especially for an email that you may get often like “product gifts” where you can politely decline the request to send you something, etc. and simply add in the company’s name and product and then just a sign off to end the email. This isn’t revolutionary at all, but it’s something I know I didn’t realize you could do had I not seen it mentioned. It is less personable but it might be worth it if it helps. I know stress is sometimes inevitable too, so I hope this is helpful either way. 💛💛

@LeighEllexson 3 года назад

@OnlyDoniaUKnow 3 года назад

Re: colored pencils - I'm also a lifetime Prismacolor user. I recently acquired some Faber-Castell Polychromos and I like them a lot. They aren't as "waxy" and maybe don't have as large of a color library as Prisma has but maybe get some from the store and try them out. The quality is really good and maybe may be a decent alternative for your sketch box.
