[@hxbridsg709]

I'm an artist who has never really had much money, so I've mostly only ever used types of pencils like Crayola and arteza, and just lately on my bday, my grandma surprised me with two packs of prisma pencils, and I swear I almost cried, it was one of the happiest days of my life. And I just want to let you know temi, and I've really loved your videos alot and I just want to say your an amazing artist, keep drawing, stay well 💜

Just as a heads-up the Arteza seem to have a protective coating that you need to sharpen out before use. They aren't prisma buttery, but they're a decent dupe for much less. (Outside of the US, I think Prismas are much cheaper in their homeland).

[@ZombieOwl12]

You are proof that tools don't make the artist(but the tools can make the artist happy!)

I definitely think that Arteza will be the winner as I have a pack and they are really great colours and amazing vibrancy and a great wax/butter feel when applied on most papers (This is before watching the video)

Prismas are relatively cheap in the US, in any other country they are way overpriced. It is best to go with your local artist brand. I'm in Germany and here Prismas are often as expensive as Polychromos. So I buy the Polychromos.

@@rauchschwalbelp7693 i got my prisma 150 set about a month ago for 86 dollars. They were just climbing down, but today I looked and they were 114 dollars, just something interesting.

[@fnjf2901]

Prsima colors are cheap in the art world, polychromos are mor expensive but oil based and harder to layer and blend but everything else it better (especially for realism!) caran dache luminance are the most expansive and are waxed based like prisma color, but has a higher percentage of oil and it harder. I have all 3 brands (120 polychromos, 72 prismas, 12+20 luminance) i find prsimas are the worst quality (not on paper) and break super easily and are hard to sharpen and have ultra smooth finishes (sometimes too smooth in realism) and superior layering and blending, luminance it is easy to sharpen, they blend extremely well and is able to have fine details unlike polychromos. Polychromous are harder to blend (if not used right), has not the best white pencil but is superior for holding its point and fine details, and sharpens super easily, polychromos are very ideal for ultra realism In ranking i would put a close 1. Polychromos 2.luminance 3. Prisma

[@huricanekat5706]

The Arteza cores are just a harder led. Not all wax colored pencils are the same. There is a range between softness and hardness. A harder core allows for more small details because it doesn't break or crumble. These two sets are good companions, Prismacolor for the base layers and Arteza for the details.

You can get Prismacolors for less on Amazon. I got the 150 set for around 100 along with a set of graphite pencils. I like them myself.

[@dollladie]

This is a great video - thanks for the information. I have both of these sets, and yes, I like them a lot. But, I'm always on the fence about them. I don't trust the lightfastness of Arteza (based on reviews and my own experience with them) ... To be honest, Prismacolor has never given any evidence of their lightfastness - or how they derived at this conclusion. For some people, this is not important at all; especially if you're just starting out. I'm a professional folk artist, and I sell my work, so it's key for me. But, on another note, the colors in both sets are glorious, and I think they're great for work that you plan to sell prints of (and save your originals). That being said, I'm sticking with my Polychromos, which I had to buy open stock to build up my set lol ... All in all, I've watched you make magic happen with the best and the worst of colored pencils. Thank You so much for sharing.

I think when it comes to selecting brands it's down to personal preference because i love Arteza pencils on smooth paper and i can achieve nice effects with it . i think it is a really good mid-range brand of pencil. if you are a person that dislikes wax blooms and tacky textures i would not recommend - however if you a hobbyist or a broke artist (like me) these pencils are leaps and bounds better than your crayolas, castle arts and marco raffines. you can see that they can achieve beautiful gradients and are pigmented and lightfast. They will always be near and dear to my heart as the first colouring pencil set of mine that the white pencil actually had an impact on my art !! 😂😂

[@shinerbryn3209]

when i first saw this video i was really confused as i always felt like arteza & prismacolor were in the same price bracket but i guess it’s a UK/US thing. i double checked on amazon and while prismacolor set is listed at around $240 as you said it’s on “sale” for $79 and idk why but target always sells them for cheap: the 12 ct for $9.99 and the 24 ct for $20 still a little more but not wildly different idk just thought I’d share for any other viewers in the US keep up the good work though !! i’ve never really been into realism but with every video of yours i watch the more i’m tempted to try
