    Oh wow. Wow. Wow! I love the soft lead in these pencils. They are fantastic. Great colors. They blend beautifully. A little extra dust on the page, but, not so much that it cannot be either gently brushed or blown away. I have tried many different colored pencils. From Crayolas, Royal watercolours , Auroras, Derwents, Marco Raffines, to plain old cheap artists pencils I find and want to try out. I have no problem paying higher prices for good pencils. Actually, I have no problem using the cheapies I find in dollar stores, either. The ones I don't like, for whatever reason, I pass to our grandchildren. They are so young, they don't care what they use. I do. I use my pencils for watercolor painting and shading, sketching, doodling, coloring and I've even left notes for my hunny.

    I have been known to use all my brands on one page because each brand has different colors, assorted shades and, they all lay down color on a page differently. I really like these Prismacolor pencils. I've been hearing good things about them for a long time and on Prime day, I finally broke down and bought a smaller set.

    I really wish I had tried these sooner. Had I tried them sooner, I would have the biggest set made. These pencils are fantastic! I love the colors, the super soft leads. The wood quality is great. They sharpen very nicely. They are a standard size pencil. They have a good variety of color in the little pack I have and, they were a fantastic price on Prime day.

    Just as soon as my next royalty check arrives, I will be upgrading my set to the big one! I absolutely love these pencils!

    This is my first time trying these pencils. They are soft and creamy, the color is very pigmented. There wasn't any issue with the sharpening.I swatched all of them and I was pleased to see that there were several shades of each color. I was also pleased to see that the black is darker and better than my old set of color pencils. All in all, this color pencil set is very good, and I wouldn't hesitate for the chance to buy this product again! I definitely recommend.

    These lay down smoothly and buttery as expected of Prismacolor Premiers, and I really like the beta fish design I got on my tin. The colors are nice and vivid and showed up nicely on my toned tan paper (some of the white marks at the top of the picture are tests of other pencils, though).

    The pencils themselves are fine. They feel a little cheap or $1 per pencil, but the cores still color beautifully, and I believe they are still worth buying and using, especially if you want relatively good pencils without spending a fortune on the most expensive ones.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024
    Size: 48 Count (Pack of 1)Pattern: PencilVerified Purchase
    Prismacolor pencils remind me of name brand products (shoes, sneakers, purses, etc). People buy the product because it is a branded name. I own a hodge-podge of prismas, including a Vintage set that I will probably never use again (from High School). I purchased this newest set of Prismas because I wanted an entire set, not a hodge-podge assortment of pencils accumulated over time. For the most part, they are lovely. 98% of the time when I colored the pencils lay down smooth, and blending was not an issue. The pencils retained their sharpness and a fine point after sharpening, and I didn't have the issue of the pencil leads falling out. However, on a few of my pictures, some of the colors did not lay quite so smooth - the pencils lay down with a waxy feel, and I had a few issues trying to blend the colors. Overall they are still nice. I would recommend these for teen or adult use, not for younger children, as I think they are too expensive for those oh so wonderful pictures that end up gracing the refrigerator doors (unless you want to indulge the little ones). There wasn't a lot I disliked about them. They sharpened well, law down smooth overall and I ended up with some nice coloring pages. But again Prismas remind me of any name brand product (purses, shoes). They are a brand that gets a lot of buzz since most colored pencil reviews for other brands inevitably have the question of "are these brand of pencils like prismas?" Would I buy them again? Yes, probably in a few months when my current pencils stash starts being used up. But like most name brands, I think they are still nice, but a little overrated. Try for yourself and be the judge.

But again Prismas remind me of any name brand product (purses, shoes). They are a brand that gets a lot of buzz since most colored pencil reviews for other brands inevitably have the question of "are these brand of pencils like prismas?" Would I buy them again? Yes, probably in a few months when my current pencils stash starts being used up. But like most name brands, I think they are still nice, but a little overrated. Try for yourself and be the judge.

    5.0 out of 5 stars High quality colored pencils

    Taking an art course on line and these colored pencils are required. Very good quality and rich colors. I am a beginner and can tell the difference between my old set which were much lower quality and these. I am going to purchase more for future use.

    Look no further for your colored pencil needs. These are simply the best. Easy to blend and the colors are vibrant. I bought these for a friend but I have the larger pack and really enjoy coloring with them. You won't be disappointed.

    Die Bestellung kam pünktlich und die Box hatte
    keine Dellen 👍, Danke Amazon bzw. DHL.
    Vor ab, die Prismacolor sind Originale und nicht aus einer Fake Produktion!
    Ich bin mit den Stiften sowas von zufrieden , sie haben echt meine Erwartungen noch übertroffen 💙.
    Sie sind total soft und lassen sich problem Schichten und das nicht nur 2,3 Mal.
    Außerdem haben die Farben haben eine unfassbar tolle Leuchtkraft . Ich werde ab sofort bei Prismacolor Premier
    bleiben ! Für Details und zum Mischen nehme ich gerne weiter Catan d'Ache, aber Grundlage bleiben jetzt diese Stifte .
    Ich hoffe nur so das Amazon sich einen Ruck gibt und auch das 72er Set mit in sein Sortiment aufnimmt 🙏 (zum fairen Preis). Jeder der softcore Buntstifte mag wird diese lieben.

    These are a great pencil for either a quick sketch or for completed artwork in it's own right. All the colours are as you would expect, blend and layer easily, they offer pretty good value as they work so well. Using cheaper alternatives usually involves a lot of wasted time and effort.
