Customer Review: ONE OF THE BEST PENCILS ON THE MARKET - A WONDERFUL SET
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Prismacolor colored pencils for years and have found nothing in their price range to compare. These are an extremely versatile pencil. This full set has a bit of a hefty price on it, but to be honest it is worth every penny if you use this type of product very much. I would suggest that you start with a smaller package, such as the twelve packs, use them a bit, see if they fit your needs, and then go ahead and make this purchase.
These pencils have a lot going for them. First, you can erase, which in my case is extremely important. Secondly, the colors are true and vivid and adhere to quite a number of surfaces (even more than you can imagine if you do your prep work correctly. Third, they are east to keep sharp and do not crumble as many colored pencils do during the sharpening process. Fourth, they and wonderful for blending; being the easiest to blend of any type I have ever used. Fifth, the color range offered is by far the best. With this large set I have yet to find a color or shade I could not produce with just a bit of imagination and work. Due to their ease of blending, the 132 pencils actually represent a color range that goes up into the hundreds; if not further...you are only limited by your imagination and ability. Fifth, the points, while soft and workable, do not smear or crumble as many other brands do.
Due to the sheen and almost pastel quality on the material used, these pencils will enable you go give depth to your drawings that few other stand-alone products of this sort can. In addition, and this is quite subjective, I know...they just feel right in the hand and fingers as you use them.
Now, like a couple of other reviewers here, I do NOT recommend these pencils for small children. While they hold up well in the adult hand, they are, by nature, rather fragile and to be honest, a small child can trash the pretty quickly. Better to buy them a big box of crayons and let them do what creative children do best, make a colorful mess, and have fun while they are doing it and not have to worry about breaking a relative expensive tool.
A note to teachers: Now I am not a great artist (in fact, I consider myself sort of pathetic), but I am prolific. I do occasionally teach drawing classes and have found that for the students, a more basic set of these pencils is much more productive that this large set. The small range of colors in the smaller sets forces the student to learn color blending and not rely on "ready made." Let them start simple and when they master (or at least start to comprehend the wonder of color combination and what a few basic colors can turn into with a bit of knowledge and practice, then let them buy their own. A small palate and a good blending tool are wonderful teaching tools.
I very much recommend this product...I have used many sets and will no doubt use more in the future.
