I really like Prismacolor colored pencils, but wonder if others feel the same. Are you in love with Prismacolor or are there other colored pencil brands that you like better? Or gel pens, markers? |

I've personally never used them... but would love too. Are they expensive? Searching for thee perfect color pencil.

I adore all products Prismacolor! The markers are great, too. I have a big black one that I've been using when making some of my coloring book images.

Prismacolor pencils are fantastic - except for two small details. The color transfers, and they ARE expensive.
Having said that, I do own some and enjoy using them. However, if you like a good soft colored pencil that is more budget-friendly, try Staedtler pencils. They make a double-ended set of 24 pencils (48 colors) for under $10 USD if you'd like to try them. Staedtler tends to give more pastel options in their sets, which I also appreciate. All in all, I'd say they are my favorite pencils.

I am having problems with sharpening the pencils. They seem to never be the same as when new. I have an auto/electric sharpener and several hand sharpeners, but neither seem to do a good job. I would gladly welcome replies to remedy this.

I have found the "HILELIFE Pencil Sharpener - 6 Pack Pencil Sharpener Manual, Number 2 Pencils Drawing Pencils Colored Pencil Sharpeners 2 Holes Hand Held Pencil Sharpener for Kids" on Amazon works well for me.
It may be available individually,the 6 pack was $4.99, which actually worked well well for me.
It doesn't give the same narrow point as the factory. It does give me the ability to slant the pencil as I'm sharpening to get the point I'm looking for at that moment.

I enjoy Prismacolor I have the 72 color set, so I haven't seen all their colors yet.
I have found Black Widow pencils really satisfying. There are 5 different sets, two of which are dedicated as skin color options.

Prismcolor i had used long time ago , The 12 pack from walgreens . The Pencils would color like the picture .
All color pencils shrink from using a pencil sharper .
