My First Time Trying ✨Prismacolor✨ Colored Pencils |  

Agreed

My eyes colour is brown😊

Me too❤my eyes are brown

I recomend ya all pastel pencils more smooth and easy to wrk with

my eyes are.... rainbow lol

Ohhh, I didn’t know that - thanks for the advice!

What?! Why wdym

The 48 count, Prismacolor Premier, soft core colored pencils

I used a white Posca paint marker :)

Thank you!! I’m glad this could help with your decision on whether to get them or not 😁

I used a white Posca Paint Marker :) I also use white gel pens a lot for highlight and know exactly what you mean

I didn’t know you could buy them individually- that’s awesome! Also haven’t tried Polychromos before, but maybe I’ll have to get a set :)

@@LizBohon You can buy the Polychromos open stock as well! I got the set of Polychromos and I wish I had just bought the Faber Castell Albrecht Durer pencils instead because it's all the same colors as the Polychromos but the Albrecht Durer pencils are water soluble and you can use them wet or dry. So it comes down to personal preference. If you don't think you would use the water soluble ones then the Polychromos would be the best choice because they are slightly cheaper. I'd love to get the full set of Holbein pencils but they're just so expensive, even more expensive than the Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils!

Same. I've had the 72 set for more than 3 yrs now and it's good. I like how some of them if your press it harder into the paper, is brings out a bold result

@@gorile6944 I have what people in the adult coloring community like to call "full set syndrome" 😂 so I always buy the biggest set! My OCD would drive me crazy thinking about the colors that I was missing out on if I didn't buy the full set! 😆

Also, if you like to seal in your work with mod podge or a fixative spray, some colors in the Prismas will run, especially the blue colors. But my Polychromos don't do that no matter what colors I use. Only thing is, Polychromos are oil based pencils so in order to blend you need to work in light layers, while Prismas just smoosh together for easy blending. But I still love them both!

Thanks!

Awesome!

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have to try them out!

True, they’re an investment for sure

Glad you’re getting new ones!

I haven’t personally had an issue with them breaking yet (I also don’t sharpen them to a super fine point, so that might help), but I feel like they do wear down quicker than I originally expected - so when I’m using a color for a good portion of a drawing, I’m sharpening it frequently.

@@LizBohon do they crake too?

I used a white Posca Paint Marker :)

But it’s really good especially the blue one

They’re great!

That’s an awesome gift! Glad you like them so much :) & eyes are probably one of my favorite things to doodle 😀

@@LizBohon same! They are soo easy and challenging at the same time. Especially the iris, we can experiment with it✨

Thank you!! & you definitely saw this for a reason haha! It can be so frustrating imagining a certain result but being unable to achieve that because of your supplies on hand - that’s also how I used to feel about normal markers when I was wanting the results of Copics.

The set had a lot of good colors!

Thanks!

I don’t think I’ve ever tried prisma markers - are they good?

@@LizBohon yeah they have two endes some are like brushes
