When I first started with colored pencils the instructor suggested that you buy the best pencils you can afford, that you'll never regret it. So my husband bought me the Faber Castell Polychromos 120 set, the Faber Castell Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils 60 set, and the Inktense 72 set. What a blessing that gift of pencils have been!

So glad to see this....after using only Prismacolor (since I was a teenager....now I'm 60 lol) I recently switched over to a set of Polychromos pencils. I got tired of my Prisma's constantly breaking on me. I truly LOVE these pencils. They are so amazing and made so well! Thanks for making others aware.. God Bless!! (Just noticed the Global Arts case...I love these cases...I have them in different colors for different types of pencils and markers. Fantastic cases)

I discovered your channel not long ago, but I have watch many MANY of the videos. Thanks again!

Despite being what is usually considered a "beginner" with coloured pencils, I bought the 120 polychromos set because there was a discount so I got them for £120. I find that these amazing pencils have actually helped me develop my skills with colour pencils and I am completely spoilt for colours! Previously I had tried the Prismacolours in the 72 set I found that whilst the colour lay down was nicer as it didn't leave white spots, they break very easily and it got very annoying

@@ColoringBliss I know I'm late but I'm so glad to read this. I am definitely a beginner but I got a gift certificate for Christmas and I've wanted to buy the polychromos for so long and now I can afford it. But seeing some reviews etcI hear a lot that these are not for beginners and I've been wondering if they're not for me after all, as you need to be a professional to use them. Actually in one review they said that beginners wouldn't be able to blend them and that got me a bit discouraged. I know I won't automatically make better art because I have expensive pencils but the cheap ones I have are super hard to blend and I'm hoping a better pencil will help me to be better at getting a smooth color.

@@WackyWholesome If you want to try them out, you can buy the pencils individually. Its worth buying three colours so you can try them out blending on the different paper types you use. The pencil most promoted is Prismas, but I tried them and HATE them, tutorials tell you to layer and layer but for me they went so shiny I couldn't layer more colours on top, yes you could apply clear gesso and continue but they weren't for me. Polychromos are silky smooth to use on various paper surfaces. Any new material you try is an experiment between the pencil and the paper type getting a combo you love to work with. We all have our faves. But I would highly recommend buying indivdual pencils in the brands you want to try to see if you like them with your own choice of paper and technique style.

If you rotate your pencil, it will be easier to find a sharp edge that will get into the tooth and make it easier to burnish. I do have one question. Have you tried isopropyl alcohol instead of mineral spirits for blending? If so, what do you think?

I've invested in the large set of Prismas (which I love as well for their own reasons), but I think it would be a great addition to buy some of the Polychromos. It just gives a different set of colors and saturations and variety, and I love that I'd have both good wax-based pencils and oil-based ones.

I may be mistaken but I think a very large percent of the reason that Prismas break so often is because of the absolute battering they get in shipping! Right from the factory to the packagers to the distributors to the merchants to your doorstep, they get treated like a football by the loaders and delivery people! Because they have such a soft core, this treatment cracks the core more easily than a harder pencil. Just a theory though...
@Snickerszn9 ай бұрын
I always thought that also. If I ever have trouble with prismas breaking at the start because of bad handling or off center I put them in the oven and cool them fast. Seems to help a lot to get the wax stable in middle of pencil.

I'm so glad I found you, thank you for all the information on coloring, I'm a beginner with a lot to learn. Can you suggest a polychromos pencil extender that is wide enough to fit these color pencils. I've been looking and browsing with no luck. Thank you in advance Alex

A couple of things that you might like to know (note, these things are my personal opinion): 1. The polychromos metallics are pretty awful. I would not buy them. Other companies do better metallics. All the other polychromos pencils are great, but NOT the gold, silver and copper. 2. Polychromos pencils are built very well. You can sharpen them the easy way where you rotate the pencil and hold thw sharpener still. I noticed you struggle a little doing it the other way (which is a good idea with prismacolor, but no need with polychromos)

Can you advise which is a good paper to use for the polychromos? Sorry if someone has already asked but only just found your Chanel!

I absolutely love how they work on Fabriano Bristol smooth paper and also on Bockingford Hot pressed 300 gsm, but they're a very workable and flexible pencil, so they work great in lots of papers.

Why the hate for Prismacolors? I’ve had mine for over a year and they have never broken on me. These are just so expensive!

A wonderful review. I just ordered a set of 36 for my new Inspire Large Print Bible which arrived on Sunday. I'm 69 years young and look forward to enhancing God's words with color! I've become a subscriber and am looking forward to learning from you. My pencils arrive tomorrow. FlowerLady

Thank you very much for sharing this useful demo. Hoping you can also compare them to Albrecht Duerer, as there is no KZbin re: Polychromos vs. Albrecth Duerer.

Hello all! I wanted advice please, I'm thinking about which set to buy Faber-Castell or prismacolors but I have a chronic illness. So I get wrist pain very quickly, can I please get opinions? I was swaying towards prismacolor but I've read a lot of people saying they keep breaking? Thank you!

I'm surprised by how 'bad' tgey perform on black here... the black paper you can buy, seems to be something different. I do most of my work with polychromos on black paper and they usually are perfectly visible.

Good to know. Thanks for the feedback. I will have to try again.

There’s a difference between black paper, which has normal paper pores and printed black paper which is “sealed” by ink, you can see that the surface usually shimmers and is smoother than the rest. That’s why the colour doesn’t show up.

It's been so long but u never reviewed uchtam gel pens. Please do. They have a big 60 pack and 2 15 packs, glitter and metallic. I find the 15 packs would be perfect for you dice you like to take your tools to places

+Himanish Gupta, they are still on my list of gel pens to review. Most of my efforts have been focused on colored pencil reviews with a few other products just to add variety. Eventually I will make my way to other brands of gel pens. Thanks again for watching.
