  Easily blended, brilliantly colored, well crafted pencils. Good for any type of work. Very waxy; if you are heavy-handed, watch out for blooming. They are a little too soft for precision work; buy a few Verithin.

  This was a fast and easy transaction. The Pencils are fine - but it does seem that if while sharpening them you break a point, it will continue the entire lenght of the pencil.....factory defect?

  It took me a few years to actually realize the versatility of these pencils, and I'm honestly ashamed it too so long. They're strong, very easy to layer, and for the quality, remarkably inexpensive.

  These colored pencils are great! With these colored pencils, you can get really do some great drawings. If you like art, these colored pencils are just for you! When you finish a drawing with these colored pencils, your artwork doesn't get smudged if you spray water. Unlike Washable Markers, these colored pencils are not messy at all! They're easy to carry. If you are going traveling, you can easily just put them in a small box, or bag and don't leave marks on things. With paint, is really messy because it is easy to spill and stain clothes and things. But with these awesome colored pencils, you can take them anywhere, anytime without leaving a mess. They don't brake as easy as crayons, oil pastels, chalks, or charcoal. My favorite thing about Prisma Colors is that if you use them on a surface such as construcion paper, when you finish a drawing, it looks like paint! If you don't believe me, you should tell your art teacher or someone who has them, to let you try them on a surface such as construction paper. It can also be a surface that is a good absorbent of colored pencils. When I finished one of my drawings, everyone thought it was paint. They ran their fingers along my drawing and said, "Did you use paint or oil pastels?" I said, "no." They couldn't believe it when I told them I used colored pencils. They thought it was any other type of colored pencils but I said that they were special colored pencils called "Prisma Colors." They were really amazed. Prisma Colors have a soft lead that allows you to color patiently and softly (not like other brands of colored pencils that you have to press really hard just to color something.) Not only are these colored pencils have a soft lead, and waterproof but you can also make small details on a drawing. Not only that, you can easily blend colors, to give your drawing an effect of depth. Don't worry, when you buy Prisma Colors, many, diverse assorted colors come in the box. So, you can make almost any color you want! You will be amazed when you finish a drawing using Prisma Colors and see how colorful and 3-D it looks(only if you know how to blend colors and which colors to use.) You can easily blend and layer these colors on top of each other and you can create wonderful pieces that will seem as if you have just used paint. You also don't have to wait for your artwork to dry (unlike paint.) You also can't stain your clothes easily(unlike charcoal, paint,oil pastels,markers, and other mediums.) When you finish a drawing, the colors will remain brilliant and fresh just as they way it looked when you finished your drawing. If you take proper care of your drawing, it will last forever! These colored pencils are AMAZING! Everything is great about these colored pencils: The way they look when you're finished with a drawing (like paint or oil pastel), their potential to repel water and other substances, their brilliant, vivid color, their soft leads, their potential to be easily blended, and more! I highly recommend you to try these colored pencils. They're just superior to other mediums. These colored pencils have so many advantages over other mediums. Since I'am not good at using paint, I use Prisma Colors all the time. You can easily hold them and manipulate where you want for them to go. I don't like paint simply because the reason that is so hard to hold the brush and paint sharp edges. And the other thing about paint is that they're so messy. The paint can spill, and you have to keep washing the paintbrush to get another color. I prefer Prisma Colors a billion times more that paint or other mediums. They're just great. Is just as if you're using paint without the necessity of washing the paintbrush or mixing them in a pallet. Buy them, you really do need to try them! You won't regret it. If you take good care of them (you know,don't sharpen them with sharpeners that are "Wood Eaters" These colored pencils can last you for many years. One thing about these colored pencils is that they're really sensitive and vulnerable to sharpeners. So if you want to sharpen a Prisma Color, you should use a sharpener that is small, and that doesn't take away a big chunk of your colored pencil. These colored pencil also need to be stored in cool places because they lead may melt in really hot places. The lead doesn't "freeze" as other colored pencils. Before I bought these amazing colored pencils, the colored pencils I used had leads that woulnd't color properly and I had to put them for a few seconds on a microwave (funny.) They seemed to kind of "freeze." These colored pencil's lead remain fleshy, and fresh all the time ready for you to use them whenever you want to. If you are an artist, you should definately buy them. They can come in really handy. If you don't believe about all I'm saying, you should get a Prisma Color and a regular colored pencil and color something with each of them. You will be surprised at the BIG difference you will see between them. Well, anyways, these colored pencils are a little expensive, but it is worth buying them. In all the Art Contests I have entered, my medium is always Prisma Colors. They're outstanding. I wish I could have bought these colored pencils, a L O N G time ago. Now I'm a freshman in High School. I could have easily won some art contests in Junior High with Prisma Colors. I now regret it. I wish I could have given them more than 5 stars. I don't why these colored pencils were invented a long time ago. Maybe famous painters and artists such as Vincent Vang Gogh, Da Vinci..., would have prefered Prisma Colors instead of paint. You should buy them here, from Amazon, here is the best place to buy them. If you buy them, use them correctly on a surface that is a good absorbent of colored pencils, I guarantee you that at LEAST 1 person is gonna come up to you (amazed), see your artwork, and ask you (almost speechless), "Is that paint?"
