Tip! If those leads are being all breaky, blast the pencil with are hair dryer for a bit... If you're super brave you can throw them in a low low low oven for a couple minutes too.

[@AtomicDreamz]

I’ve used this tip before and it’s great! I also use it on cheap coloured pencils to make them go down easier/better.

[@aspenyost40]

Prismacolor pencil leads aren’t actually supposed to break constantly like that, though they are fragile. If your pencils are kinda old or if the box of pencils (or individual pencils) have been dropped, the leads will already be broken inside the wood. I use prismacolors as my primary medium. I try to update my pencils every 2 years or so and keep them in a soft, cushioned case with individual slots for each pencil to keep them protected. It’s a lot of work, but I personally believe that the quality of the pencils makes it worth it 😊

[@charlottesmom]

My Prismacolor are eons old (15 or so years) and from when they were made in the united states as opposed to Mexico, the leads barely ever break. 👍🏻 Mine are also just jammed in 2 acrylic cups, my cats knock them over at least once a month...😆

[@conifercrow]

@@charlottesmom This is also my experience with them. I bought a new set a few years back and ended up getting rid of them and buying Polychromos instead, because the leads were so bad with these new ones. The owner of my local independent art store told me he dropped the brand entirely because their quality control has gone to the dogs. Like, to the point where he was replacing more sets/pencils than he was selling. Prismas used to be the standard, but these days, they're just frustrating, and easily the worst of the artist-grade options, it seems.

[@learnartwithme3766]

I've read that you can microwave them to get the wax to melt slightly to reform inside the pencil. Also, add thin foam to under the lid and under each tray.

[@chevgage6210]

Prisma also has super great customer service. A list of the broken pencils, proof of purchase within an appropriate time frame, and a quick message through their website is all it takes to have em replaced.

[@charlottesmom]

@@conifercrow , I love my Polychromes but don't use them much, I don't feel I'm a good enough artist yet...😑😆

[@MysticSparkleWings]

I just thought I'd pipe in as someone who's favorite colored pencils to use are Prismacolors; The soft cores are indeed superior for blending because the colors almost _melt_ together, but if you're prone to being heavy-handed or consistently use as much pressure as possible all the time, they _will_ break, frequently. Lots of people find this bothersome because they're used to pencils like Crayola (or pencils that _wish_ they were as nice as Crayola) where you _have_ to fight with the pencil to get significant color lay-down--They're _used_ to having to apply heavy pressure all the time. And it's not just cheap pencils that are prone to this. I have the Faber Castell Polychromos, and even though they're a high-end brand, they're a harder pencil, so they require more pressure. In the Polychromos' case, this is largely because they're an oil-based pencil (Prismacolors are wax-based) which _normally_ results in a harder pencil, but those pencils can usually build up layers of color for longer than most wax-based varieties. Similarly, with _any_ kind of pencil, you'll get more layers out of them if you don't apply a lot of pressure right away (lots of artists refer to that as "burnishing") because the more pressure you apply, the more you squash the texture of the paper, and in most cases that means the paper can't accept as much color: There's just not as much surface it can grab on to. Some artists prefer a smooth, less-textured surface for pencil work, but most paper you find that labels itself as being _for_ colored pencils will have a notable texture compared to something like marker- or even mixed-media paper largely because of this. Bottomline: Colored Pencils work best when you take a "slow and steady" approach with them and layer them up over time instead of going right for deep saturated color, and this goes doubly for pencils like Prismacolor that are super-soft to avoid constant breakage.

[@tabbylynn4130]

Came to say this exact same thing lol

[@Hi.Judeen]

Kasey, you already got a great sharpener for the Prismacolors, remember when you were talking about the t’gaal sharpener in your Japanese sharpeners video, and why some people would prefer different point sizes? 😂 Well, it works like a charm with the Prismacolors, you get really sharp points but not long ones (if that makes sense?), So the lead doesn’t break as often, also, it feels very smooth when you are sharpening them (talking from experience :3) PD: I completely adore your drawing 💖

[@nany____]

Yeeees! Prismacolors should be sharpened with a craft knife or with this kind of fancy sharpener that leave the wood more like a nub rather than a long tip

[@NovaVanBuren]

Liking this comment so that hopefully Kasey might see it!!

[@NighttimeBird]

Helical pencil sharpeners are the best. My Prismacolor pencils stopped breaking altogether

@@KaseyTheGolden yeap, you tried it, it’s a transparent one 😃 hope you find it 🤞🏻

[@kuhnuckles1]

Oof the Prismacolors breaking so often is definitely a buzzkill. I don’t use colored pencils a lot, but when I do, I typically use them for sketching and layering on top of alcohol markers. For that, I like using Crayola. I just has a nice texture, and it’s easier to gently layer, whereas Prismacolor is much more waxy and thick.

[@seizureiswierd]

Idk I have Prisma colors and they're almost never like that, I'd say it's because she's dropped her pencils alot or maybe her pencils are old

[@Rebecca_English]

Kasey is also using really heavy pressure on very long points, which is why she's getting the breakage and hand pain. Using very light pressure and shorter points really makes a difference with softer colored pencils!

[@dianethoroughman9541]

Your horses came out lovely. It is easier on the wrist and picture if you color multiple LIGHT layers of color rather than coloring one HARD layer of burnished color. Yes, prismacolor is known for its breakage, but there are tips to help deal with that problem.

[@RadishTheFool]

Totally agree with this. Yes, Prismacolor pencils break more easily because of their buttery softness. That is an honest annoyance (which to many artists is worth the hassle because the pencils lay down so beautifully on the paper). But if pencils break constantly instead of occasionally, it may be time to try a different approach. Especially if using them hurts so badly.

[@nataliaprokopowicz1335]

Have you thought of comparing Prismacolor to Polychromos and maybe other brands too? I love your comparison videos they're always so comprehensive and fun to watch too!

[@no-md2ub]

tip! if you press hard all the time, you'll take the texture off the paper, and the pencil won't stick, burnish at the end, it's best as a top layer

[@davef85]

6:59 Have you tried using the colorless blender pencil? It helps blend colors, but also burnishes the lead helps fill in the tooth of the paper with out having to press so hard.

If you notice that a lead is broken, go to the microwave and put the pencil to warm half a second. Or put the pencil near something that is warm enough to soften the lead inside. Then, let it cold down. I love your videos. Looking forward to the next one :)

[@nacoleacosta]

I don't get nearly as much breakage as you did. If you use multiple softer layers before your final burnished layer your pencils might last longer.

[@SocksAndPuppets]

I got a couple prismacolors to try them out and I was rather unimpressed with the quality of them. I got a lot of breakages and poor coverage, dustry, and not that smooth to colour with. I like Staedtler Ergosoft, Faber Castell Polychromos, Tombow Irotjen, and Caran D'Ache Museum Aquarelle.

[@joeblankenship377]

Do Primsacolor vs. Polychromos! I used to use nothing but Prismacolors but now I mainly use Faber-Castell Polychromos with a few Prismas thrown in. Definitely don't gotta worry about leads breaking with Polychromos, which is good since they're expensive.

[@alethealarrad-tye3299]

That prismacolour set was my first big splurge as an artist and fresh out the box they broke like that. I gave up on them super quick and switched to the Faber-Castell polychromos! It's great that prismas work for so many people, but if I have to go through hoops just so they don't break I'd rather buy a pencil I can rely on x Also, your point on wrist pain is very important; I specialised in colour pencils for years and hurt my wrist numerous times

[@angelocatani1800]

I just love your art!! It’s unusual, dynamic and full of life!!

[@paulwoodford1984]

I have both sets and i always end up using the Crayola. They feel nicer to use and prefer the less smudgy crayola. Crayola are amazing for the price. If they were not called Crayola they would be more respected

[@raninnitboozled2168]

That is so true. Literally Crayola makes decent pencils but people don't use them because it's a "cheap" and "childish" brand

[@lisagoetsch]

Tip when you sharpen prismas hold the pencils steady and turn the sharpener or use a good electric sharpener.

[@LeanneRaina]

Prismacolor pencils are waxed-based. If you find that they are breaking a lot, the core could be broken from being dropped or something. You can reheat them in the oven to rework the binding of them, actually! Without preheating the oven, bake on 250*F for 5 minutes. You can also use sunlight and a hairdryer, but there's less control with that and it can shorten the life of your pencil. Just make sure to let the pencils cool after because those crumbs can stick to the paper and be there forever, messing up any art you make in that spot. I totally loved your horse-donkey creatures! They're so whimsical and fun to look at. Thanks for the video Kasey and keep creating

[@veeva99]

As someone who has been using colored pencils for years now, the Prismacolor pencils breaking so much is really irking me. maybe it's because I have never used Prismacolor before (I live in the Netherlands and where I buy my art supplies they don't even sell Prismacolor), but I do know that they are a higher-end pencil. I have been using Faber-Castell for years myself, and I just assumed that Prismacolor would be in the same range as them. I have never had my pencils break like that, even with the softer pencils like the metallics

[@KatasaurusRexxed]

They are more fragile than some other pencils but they don't naturally break constantly. If yours do then somebody dropped them or they were thrown around in transit before you got them. You can fix the leads using heat - give it a Google if you want to try as there are a few options.

[@veeva99]

@@KatasaurusRexxed like I said, I dont use them myself Though reading the comments the pencils are 'notorious' for breaking. Having to fix them yourself doesn't sound like something good. But hey, that's just my opinion

Hand and wrist pain are one reason I paint rather than use pencils. We’re meant to draw from the shoulder cos it’s a bigger muscle, but it takes practise especially for details. I love the prisma dark pink to purple blend, and the ghost cats.

[@angiepen]

Less than nine minutes in and you've had five breaks with four different pencils, if I counted correctly. :/ Prismacolor Premiers are notorious for this, which is why I don't own any. When I decided to upgrade my cheap starter set of colored pencils, I got a set of Polycromos. They work very well, and I don't end up shaving dollars into the trash while sharpening and sharpening and sharpening because of lead breakeage.

[@julietteferrars3097]

Those ghost kitties are adorable! ♥️

[@randomguyontheinternet5030]

Ive used these pencils for the first time (albeit with a run down set from a highschool art 1 class) just this morning and the one big thing about using them was *apply lightly*. you do need to put in multiple layers but when you're blending you almost need to because you're switching between the colors trying to get the right mix, also did I mention BLENDING. these pencils are amazing at blending. you can over blend stuff and it turns out as one big transition of colors with zero detail, but if you know how to blend to a novice level, they look really cool. also you probably need to put another layer of pen/fine marker for a line art sometimes.

[@peachesyuson8989]

I love the horses and the cats. They all look magical 🤗

[@kantigua5544]

prisma is a softer lead. like a 2b or something. the Verithin series is closer to the hardness of crayola i think

[@AdventureBunnys]

I honestly like your art stile without line art better than with it

[@purpledirple3647]

A tip for the “chunky” fade with the prismacolors is to use the white pencil as a sort of colorless blender or using other colors for a gradient. Prismacolors are not very good for blending into the paper, but the colors themselves blend into eachother really well.

[@greenwolf2292]

she is such an inspiring artist! i want to learn character design now

[@PrinceBaraButterfly]

Omgggg, so I have recently been diagnosed with a very extreme tendinitis. I am more adept with traditional art, and primarily use.... prismacolor coloured pencils and Crayola coloured pencils. 💦 last year, I have started experimenting more with copic markers as a base and using prismacolor on top, and it has helped quite a bit, being an artist who likes a nice blend, but don't want to run out of coloured pencils so quickly pressing down on this. These pieces look great though! (Also, cries in broken prismacolor leads. I combat them by sticking them in the microwave for a few seconds)

[@0riananne0]

I love the end result, so cute! I think the front legs are bending the wrong way though. I mean they aren't normal horses so maybe it doesn't apply to them, but I think the front legs of horses bend the other direction.

[@Thatgirl_gabrielle]

I’d be careful with the oven 😳 maybe if you have a warming setting? I’ve tried the microwave for 4 to 5 seconds and had success! Also, for the prismacolor pencils.. for some reason they seem to break less when you rotate the pencil sharpener around the pencils, not turn the pencils themselves. I can’t tell you why but it works! 😅

[@novaknavekey]

Damn you matched them pretty freaking well!

[@oreganoh4094]

Another option is the prismacolor pencils but in their scholar line. They're still on the soft lead side of things but they are meant to be a little bit harder and more resistant to breakage. So if you're really rough on your pencils that might be a really good option. Also, you can get artist quality hard and soft lead pencils. A lot of people starting out don't realize just how much variety they're actually is in art supplies. I said this is somebody who took a lot of art classes in school but still wasn't introduced to artist grade pencils until way into my adult years. I had no idea that colored pencils could be blended so well and get such vibrant colors. I like to keep around a colorless blender or I plan how I'm going to layer multiple pencils when I want a lighter layer or a fade. You can also use some chemicals to break down the binder so you can blend a large area. My other suggestion is to buy some Bristol paper, doesn't matter what variety, doesn't have to be expensive. The coloring experience and what you can do gets way better when you also upgrade your paper even a tiny bit.

[@andreafranco1477]

You can put the prismacolors in the sun for a few hours, that way the wax gets soft and it fixes the breaks that are inside the wood. Where I live it gets pretty hot during summer (40ºC) so this worked for me but it wouldn't work in colder places. I heard about microwaving them a little but I would be pretty cautious about that and do some research about the times first.

Hey Kasey, as someone who uses prismacolor color pencils I can definitely say that the lead does break a lot more with heavy hands than light hands (I have light hands) and it does break for me too so try layering light layers to avoid breakage as much as possible.

[@KaseyTheGolden]

But it breaks when sharpening, it doesn’t really have to do with being heavy-handed as far as I can tell… am I wrong?

one thing that helps w colored pencil leads is to use a sharpener made specifically for colored pencils instead of the normal graphite pencil sharpeners

[@shing1239]

[@truantverreaux5483]

I have a suggestion as a person with a chronic wrist injury, you can add foam around the pencil to be able to grip it without much strain, preferrably a type of foam that can be removed easily afterwards since pencils often need sharpening

[@katalinelo8011]

Yes, if you are using coloured pencils like we used to in the kindergarten and press so hard, your wrist will hurt after a while. It works with your style perfectly but it's not the usual way. And also, pressing less hard can prevent some of the lead breaking.

What I definitely recommend for Prismacolor pencils até helical pencil sharpeners, they keep the lead from breaking and make really sharp points. Manual pencil sharpeners will eventually break the leads because the leads are that creamy and fragile.

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

[@BrightJuni]

Prismacolor pencils have a solid wax pencil that you can use for blending and gradients, that’s my favorite part of prismacolor, cause I can do light pencil lines and then use the wax to make a buttery smooth color outta not a lot of effort or pressing, If you don’t own the solid wax one the white pencil also works for blending, both for prismacolor and for crayola

[@christaburr4979]

I use exclusively Prismacolor pencils. The blending is much easier than other pencils in my opinion. They work best in layers with my experience. If you start off with a light hand and over lap with the others it will turn out much closer to the color you are looking for. I love them terribly, and I have some that are down to nubs. I saw some folks have said to use a different sharpener. I normally use the Prismacolor sharpener, but I also prefer sharpeners from Germany. Hope to see you do more colored pencils later!

[@TheNerdyKiwi]

I've been wondering to get a Prismacolor or T'Gaal sharpener for my Prismacolors, especially the ones in my set that feel a bit... scratchy? Sandpaper-y? On my paper (Canson Mixed Media sketchbook).

Another benefit of prismacolors is that you can buy each color by itself, just like copic markers. Also, yes the lead snapping is annoying but that’s kinda the price of a softer leaded pencil, they are more likely to break. I love my prismacolors.

[@PaintbucketLemonade]

I think Crayola is a pretty solid brand when it comes to cheap supplies to experiment with when coming to new supplies. I would say it's pretty on par with some higher end brands but then you get a consistency issue overall. Some crayola packs will be vibrant and lay down wonderfully, but others will be duller and fight certain paper types.

[@KaseyTheGolden]

Interesting! I guess I haven’t had enough of their products to see the consistency issue yet!

How are there comments from 18 hours ago what the hay

[@janesmith1917]

Yes Prisma colors do break very easy when sharpening so you have to be careful with your pencils because if you drop them it can crack the lead inside and it's soft enough to freaking break when sharpening so the best thing to do is twist the sharpener not the pencil when sharpening them so you have a better tip.
