How To Sharpen Your Prismacolor Pencils - Without Breaking The Lead! (2018)

[@darkdragonprincesss]

Never thought about turning the sharpener instead of the pencil! I broke so many leads doing it the "normal" way :o

[@FarrellArtist]

Just a little trick that helps! Lol. I broke loads too 😢

[@cryptidiot8409]

Just bought my first set of prismacolors and wasted a third of the black one on an electric sharpener, thanks for the tip!

[@KarolinaBernolak]

thank you because i have a electric shapener and i dont like it i wasted my stadeler pencils this way

[@StellaLunaShine]

I use your method it helps me to make my Prisma color pencils last longer especially buying that exact pencil sharpener so thanks for the tips.

[@yellowscout2467]

Thanks for the tips. Deym... Sharpen colored pencils are a pain in the aft. And i got almost lost my yellow pencil of sharpen it to hard and the tip breaks a lot. It's kinda annoyed a lot. But with the help of the tutorial on how to sharpen colored pencils in a right way, i found a solution. The sharpener is the way of twisting, not the pencil. Now i know this a lot. Thanks for the tip, boy. Love this. (P.S. i use Deli Color Emotion Pencils as my colored pencil arts. I love this brand. Faber-Castell are the underdogs for sharpen colored pencils without breaking a lead.)

[@FarrellArtist]

[@jenniferdennison8315]

Wow !! Thank u so much .. I broke my yellow like 5 times and finally tryed to find a solution.. really appreciate it ..

[@sassit8064]

Thank you so much! I just tries this on a colored pencil i was braaking the lead on and it works like a charm!

[@mikouf9691]

Thank you. This was very helpful. I might have to invest in that desktop sharpener.

[@kevinhardy8997]

Bought Prismacolour sharpener $9. Works perfectly

[@legendarygary2744]

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

[@littlecari1]

Is there a different kind of prisma very thin colored pencils? Thank u

[@claudettesoden2909]

Thank you so very much. Will try

[@amberfranklin4499]

what is the best size set of prismacolor to start with as i am looking at purchasing a set

[@FarrellArtist]

I started with the 72 set and was happy with that for quite a while

[@Kimodua]

Very useful video. I been doing the first way where you twist the pencil itself. I am going to try twisting the sharpener itself. I use regular Crayola coloring pencils.

[@FarrellArtist]

It definitely helps with the breakage! I’m not sure about crayola pencils but prismacolors are very brittle

[@memekendall3197]

@@FarrellArtist I guess you didn't like the Prismacolor sharpener? Alot people say to use that with the pencils. Enjoying your videos.

[@anonymousartist593]

Wow! This method is AWSOME! I subbed👍🔥🔥🔥👍👍

[@FarrellArtist]

[@narutonamikaze5862]

Nice video as ever! keep it up.

[@FarrellArtist]

Thanks dude, will do!

[@malachihalbert2965]

Oh my god I wish I saw this before my black pencil became less than 3 inches long lol thank you it works!

[@artflair.n1]

Thank you for the tip👍

[@FarrellArtist]

no problem, enjoy

[@jaydencumberland8391]

I love your channel

[@FarrellArtist]

Thank you so much mate, really appreciate it. We all got to keep practicing and learning new things 😊

[@husainhajuri6625]

Very helpful ☺️

[@한잔-k1v]

Do you think using an electric sharpener will be even better? Not an electric with a regular blade but with a big rotating thing i don't know how its called sorry i think it may have the same blade as your mechanical sharpener

[@FarrellArtist]

I think it will work well too, give it a try and let me know!

[@uluthandomtambo2155]

lifechanging!!!!! thank you

[@FarrellArtist]

Happy to help!

[@KseniaGraft]

Thanks a lot!

[@sislertx]

Injustmbroke mine six times in a row..reminding me why i dont use them for the last 45 years

[@prorish1]

Thank you

[@TypeSly]

Brilliant! Thank you :)

[@FarrellArtist]

No problem, enjoy!

[@DesignInNature]

The best way not to break the leads and split the wood casings on prismacolors, is to buy Faber Castell polychromos instead. Other than that, there is nothing else that can be done about it.

[@pastel__pris2863]

Haha im 2 years late but are we not gonna talk about how the prismacolors in the US are just that bit cheaper than the UK. And I ain't happy.

[@FarrellArtist]

I haven't bought any in a while but yeah that does suck!

[@candyheartsart]

Thankyou :D I was actually going to ask you where you got your desktop sharpener because I heard it in the galaxy tutorial ^^; hahahaha (LittleCandyGamer from Instagram btw) :D :D you just saved me heaps of time woo ^_^

[@candyheartsart]

Actually too, do you need to replace the blades often and how would you go about doing that?

[@FarrellArtist]

Hey!!! thanks for checking out my channel! I haven't actually had to change the blades yet but i'm pretty sure there was instructions that came with it on how to do it. I honestly don't know how I went so long without a desktop sharpener. it's so much better!

[@candyheartsart]

@@FarrellArtist Sweet! Just ordered from ebay because I'm in australia and we don't have much on the Amazon xD It should arrive in the next couple of weeks

[@evetheleafeon3497]

I should've looked at this sooner because my Carmine Red is threatening to split down the middle because of my stupid sharpening

[@mysticdrawingstv7965]

Lol is it weird that my lead never breaks? 😂

[@FarrellArtist]

With prismacolors? Yes that is weird haha

[@_someoneonearth_]

Oddly enough I always turned the sharpener because it felt easier.

[@whatup20eleven]

LOL MY DUMBASS FORGOT THIS TRICK 19 YRS AGO..

[@FarrellArtist]

😂

[@greekveteran2715]

The reasons a tip break are: The pencil is of poor quality. The sharpener has dulled blades out of much usage.The pencil has a very soft core. It can be any of these reasons or all of them. KUM makes the best sharpeners and Faber Castell the best pencils. Use those,and you will reduce the chances of breakage,literally to 0%.

[@greekveteran2715]

KUM Masterpiece - KUM longpoint Automatic and m+r 602 , are the 3 must have sharpeners,for an artist. You can avoid KUM masterpiece,if you are a beginner. If not ,its not similar to the automatic longpoint as it might seem.That's why I mentioned both. Most versatile and highest quality and performance sharpeners,on the market today.

[@anchoryt5405]

Fake News!!! jk Really Helpful, Man!!

[@FarrellArtist]

Haha thanks mate 😊
