The downside of the Lyra, and the space where Prismacolor still holds the title, is in color palette. The colors of the Lyras, while pretty, don't match the basic paint palette I'm accustomed to working with. Prismacolor pencils colors are built around the core palette of Alizarin, Cadmium Red, Cad yellow, Lemon Yellow, Viridian, Pthalo Green, Ultramarine, Pthalo blue, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna---and the palette expands from there in a way that's recognizable to painters. There's a logic to the colors. Lyra pencil colors seem chosen the way a decorator chooses colors, which is fine in it's sphere, but makes extra work for me, as an artist. It took a while for me to figure out how to work the colors to get the results I want, and I'm still frustrated at times by the colors that simply aren't there. I tend to use the Lyras for hobby work (like paper doll making, and illustration) and fall back on my Prismas or paint for landscapes and portrait work.
Also, you should be aware that about ten percent of the 'color' selection offered in this set is actually various warm and cool grey tones. Not sure why manufacturers do that?
Overall, though, the quality of the pencils makes wrestling with the colors worthwhile, IMO. I'm still using them regularly, two years later.
Then I read a review where someone talked about using Vaseline. Put some Vaseline on the tip and have at it. NOT a lot, like Brylcreem a little dab will do ya (yes, I'm old)! Immediately changed my appreciation of these pencils. The wrangler image is from Rene Davenport's retro pin up series. I always had problems with the gray scale shadowing smearing and smudging up the page. NO MORE. The background is prismacolor art stix, I used a blender dipped in Vaseline, not impressed. The wrangler is all Lyra. Did the darker tones first, then the lighter tones were used with Vaseline. I am sold.
