PrismacolorCol-Erase Erasable Colored Pencils, Adult Coloring, 12 Pack

I was looking for something in a colored pencil that would feel more like graphite. I'm not a huge fan of how colored pencils, even good ones, feel. Waxy. I read the reviews and thought these might work.I just got them today and have done a quick sketch and they are actually pretty cool. They feel very soft, not waxy at all but what is really different is how blendable they are. You can blend soft backgrounds with a tissue or q tip AND if you use a blending stump, you can actually move the color.I don't think they'd be good for coloring pet day but if you are looking to sketch? I think they are going to be great.I'm using them on Stillman and Burn Alpha paper and the combination is very good.

I was very hesitant that these would erase well or be not visible enough for sketching but was pleasantly suprised!! They're not 100 percent eraseable but honestly trust me it'll not matter once the piece is done and you make sure to draw lightly before darkening details for those like me who prefer clean line art or drawings.- One con would be however is that the eraser kind of bleeds a bit of color around but it's only up close.You don't need to put so much pressure to draw which I've had issues with from a different brand.-con is that you have to erase each individually as they're not sharpened.So if you want a bit of color to your sketchbook I'd Definitely recommend this! Its such a great deal for how many colors there are. They also have different colors in bulk you can buy online here.

Love the colors, durable and perfect size for what I need it for!

I'm a terrible artist with dreams of getting better. I LOVE my other Prisma pencils, which blend and flow like no other pencil. I got these specifically for writing, since I wanted to be able to erase. They are certainly nicer than any other erasable colored pencil, but they aren't quite as vibrant or as "flowy" as my regular Prismas. Best of class, but not best of Prismas, which I probably should have expected.

Excellent Product – No Bleed-Through. I used these pencils to mark up three different Bibles, and they worked perfectly—no bleed-through at all. Highly recommend.

Good quality color pencils.

In my opinion, they feel different than the normal Prismacolor colored pencils. I feel like a mix of graphite and colored pencils, and it's feel great! They're very soft, but not too soft than the PC colored pencils. They can erased and blend very easy, and they're very enjoyable to drawing! And I love that! What I can see is, some pencils are not pigmented, they're pale, but, they're very useful for sketch, and this is awesome! And that's why I buy these. So cool drawing pencils!Note: they're for Designers, Illustrators and Artist.

I think this brand has been far to criticized and to let you all know, Yes, they came unsharpened. I was glad they came this way. I know what sharpener to use & how to use it right & that makes all the difference!I got the 24 pack ( i think ) , I read up on these and ordered the 3 pack of KUM 104.03.01 & sharpened them all without a single problem! NO BREAKAFE, no loose leads. All centered cores & I like these BETTER than the newer Prisma colored premier pencils. The lead is stronger, and I got nice points and tried ALL out on a white piece of paper to color swatch and test all of them. If your steel blades ... the KUM sharpeners get dull.....of COURSE you can have issues. But no problems at all. I like the way they lay down color and I will be buying more to gift to family. Both the Prisma Col-Erase and will stick to the small but great KUM sharpeners. Go look up on you tube how to use these right & you will be happy with both. I agree the erasers they come with are sub- par for sure...but so what. The Suma erasers work well to erase the color if I need to do so. I have to wonder if competitors leave bad reviews as they are such a good deal! OR people do not know how to sharpen right or what sharpeners work best for this brand. Go slow and easy when sharpening and take time to care properly 4 storing and don't bang then around and drop alot...as then well..I don't know as I keep mine in a glass, so they don't roll off my table. AGAIN...NOT ONE PENCIL broke when I sharpened mine and I like them very much! ALSO. I got all of them...packed well and all the same length and no missing colors! So, if all those bad reviews were true...then the company heard toy all & are flying straight now! That was my experience.! These are what I would call student grade or hobby grade level....but I use to color-code my bibles and color and they work for that.
