I have used Prisma Premier pencils for 5 yrs, not one of them have broken, even when dropped, I know I have been lucky, but at the same time I have never never broken one of my Polychromos , Luminance, or any other brand I may have, and I have many brands. Basically I just take care of my pencils.

If you can find them in single stock, buy the Caran D'ache luminance white. It sticks really well on top of pencil layers and it's a fairly opaque white.

Warning: don't get upset, this is called an opinion. The prismacolors had a bit more negativity in the beginning compared to the other brands and I can understand that, but Prismacolors aren't all bad...They are very rich and blend well, and to me it makes no difference that the wood is shown at the end. Of course everyone has their own opinions, but Prismacolor isn't awful like dollar store pencils. I might sound like a defensive piece of crap, but to be honest there are worse brands than Prismacolors. For anyone who longed to hear this sentence, here it is. "Prismacolors are way lower quality." Then again, even if they aren't lightfast and aren't as high quality, they still are worth buying. Just don't sell art made with them! But who is to say they are useless?! Not me, because Prismacolors are worth something and do have great results. As a conclusion: to each their own, but try everything.

It’s the wax bloom also. After 2 years there was a horrible cast on my artwork, similar to a cataract on an eye, like a misty cast. It was wax bloom that had developed over a time period. I literally had to scrape it off and buff it back up. Also, sharpening them is a nightmare. I have several sharpeners and they crumble every single time.

Three Tips using Prismacolor: 1. Turning the Sharpener (instead of the Pencil) has helped me a lot I have a both a Staedler and Prismacolor sharpener. 2. Wax Bloom can be removed by using a soft soft to gently buff it away. I did this 2 or 3 times after a drawing was done and never saw wax bloom on the drawing again after that. You can also use a Spray Fixative after a drawing is done. Be warned, some fixative Will intensify some colors. Do a color swatch then spray it with your chosen fixative to see for yourself if it makes enough of a noticeable change. 3. Dropped a Prismacolor? Lead breaking much? You can actually heat a Prismacolor colored pencil in the microwave, try 5-10 seconds. You really can't overdue it or you will literally melt the pencil lead! Heating just until the breaks join is the odjective.

Remember you don’t need to stick to one pencil brand in a piece, you can mix brands, use softer pencils for blending, then use harder leads for details in the piece, also use ones with more transparency for certain techniques, and more opaque ones for other effects you want to achieve, also if you need a piece to be lightfast, only use the colors that do have good lightfast ratings, for instance I wouldn’t use any prismas in a piece needed to be sold I would use the lightfast ones if it’s a color I want in that piece. It’s not all are nothing, every brand has a place.

I realize this was video was posted a long time ago but I feel compelled to comment because I can absolutely say the Prismacolor quality is far different than it once was. I still have some Prismacolors from a set I bought years ago when they were still owned by Berol and the pencils were manufactured in the United States. Those pencils are much more more highly pigmented and much less likely to break. The new open stock Prismacolors are completely different. I still use Prismacolor for practice and for certain applications, but they are NOT the same pencils they once were. This is an excellent comparison video!

Grey Arctic do you draw with them a lot? Because all the art channels I’ve watched said the whole pencil sometimes splits, the led might fall out and the tip breaks A LOT. Lightfastness doesn’t matter if you don’t sell your art, but prismacolour has quite a few pencils that change colour within a shortish time. Primas are a cheap and nice alternative if you don’t use them lots, because you get lots of colours for not that much money. But they are used up a lot faster than a polychromo (look at superreadizzles video on how many pages you can colour with Prismas vs. Polychromos. The F.C. pencil lasts 7 times as long and that’s without the chance of the whole pencil breaking just because you drop it on the floor) So if you plan on using your pencils up quicker polychromos are a much cheaper choice while also being better quality.

I have had prismacolor pencils for about two years now and I use them quite a lot. They broke on me literally twice throughout that time. I dont know it might be the sharpener that I use. It's called t'gaal and it has got a dial to change the size you want the pencil to be sharpened. I put mine on the lowest so that I dont use too much of the pencil. I can honestly recommend that sharpener If you want to get something for your prismacolors.

If a person that buys a piece of art doesnt mount it and frame it properly even an oil painting will fade and crack and an acrylic with peel...there is no such thing as beginner or advanced colored pencil sets...Just because the Caran D'ache are the most expensive that doesnt make them the best and just because Crayolas are the cheapest doesnt make them the worst...I think there was way too much emphasis on the fade years amd months after a piece is sold...got news for you if you buy a black toaster from Walmart you cant wait years and months to go back to Walmart and complain that the toaster is now grey...is the same concept to me

And US-products are really expensive in Germany too, a Prismacolor is the same price as a Polychromo here.

The reason Prismalcolor pencils brake more often, is not because they are thinner. Faber Castel and Caran d'Ache use a different method to glue the pigment stick into the wood. They glue the whole thing, so there is no part of the pigment that isnt glued to the wood. Prismacolor reduces costs by not doing that and just glueing part of the pigment. So if you sharpen your pencil and the pigment broke its going to fall out.

I have a small set of the Caran D'ache, but colored pencil isn't really my media of choice so I don't know much about it. What do you mean when you say you "glaze the colors over the top"?

I am using polychromos currently. Switched to these from Prismacolor. I completely agree that these are way better than prisma. I struggle to get that really smooth skin tone with it. These dont blend so smoothly. Applying too much pressure damages the paper sometimes. I think I will be switching to caran dache for portraits. The eyes and hair strokes would be better with Polychromos , but the skin would be better with caran d ache

I have compositions that are 25 years old that I did with Prismacolors that look just as good as the day I made the piece. I've never had a Prismacolor pencil break from falling neither... maybe the tip but not the whole pencil. You don't have to just use the layering of pencil colors to blend. You can use turpentine. I wonder how many people Caran D'ache sponsors?

Hi Kirsty I’ve just came across your Chanel . It’s brilliant and full of helpful information! Would the Faber castle water colour pencils be ok to use over watercolour paint ? Instead of the Faber-Castell Polychromos ? I already have a wide range of the watercolour pencils Thank you 😊

Forgive me if Im wrong but you're not supposed to use a lot of pressure when using oil based pencils because that destroys the paper. You're supposed to use a lot of light layers to build it up.

I think the prismacolor is the best. You make the review for the prismacolor like they are bad. I use them and they are very good.

I saw another video by another artist who said the Caran d'Ache had the better blending and white pencils, but the Polychromos had the better black, seems like it is best to buy both sets and apparently they work really well together. I have Prismacolour and dislike them so much! I hate the heavy wax bloom, as well as the fact that the pencil leads shatter and the sharpening of them makes them crumble. Other than that, I love their buttery colour, but it comes at a huge price! Better to spend more and get better pencils.

I have purchased 3 full sets of Prismas, in the last 5 years, I have never had one broken pencil,. Also the same for when I purchased the Polys, Lumi’s, and Holbein, not to mention various budget pencils. Have I just been lucky? Who knows.

I just shouted myself the full set of Prismacolor. Here in New Zealand they're $500.00, but it was on sale for $400. Next is the full set of F-C. The Luminance ones look interesting ... not sure if we can get them here.

i disagree you can't say poly and luminance are better may be quality wise i agree ...but the performance wise no pencil in the world is creamier than prismacolor...also the color variety blendabiliry opaquenes etc...its all depends on artists ...tons of artists achieve realism using prismacolor....even carandache and polychromos...it's all individual preference.... i won't agree that poly and luminance are better ,but they are great in certain type of applications...if you want detailed translucent work then choose poly if you want smooth and bright with more lightfastness then go for luminance,if you want animal drawing choose derwent drawing set,if you want floral ,portraits and vibrant images then choose prisma and so on...

Hi Kristy! I use prismacolor colored pencils, but I frequently run out of the white pencil. Which would you say is better (better for blending and more opaque), Caran D'ache Luminance or Prismacolor white pencil?

I have all prisma sets...12, 24, 42, 72, 132, 150...and not one pencil broke on me. And I use a cheap sharpener.😁 I also have polychromos 36 set. But I think I prefer Prismas. I havent tried Luminance.
