Just learning adult coloring, trying to learn and actually do real artsy work. Just bought this set, got it today. Excited to watch your review and try them out.
Very interesting how you did the prisma comparison. I know they're totally different pencils, wax vs oil n what not, but most if us are familiar with prismas. So, even though they're a totally different type of pencil you're comparing the hero pencils to something I'm very familiar with and know how they feel and work so thus was a very useful exercise for me.
Thank you for this video. I'm a retiree on a budget so this looks like a smart buy. One thing, when your affiliate link comes up and you click on the Hero pencils in your storefront, it takes you to Hero 36 watercolor pencils...their packaging is different, silver, with different colored tips.
Hi there. Thx for watching. Sadly, these Pencils are no longer available on Amazon. Only the Watercolor ones. They are actually nearly impossible to find now. Some are finding them on eBay and wish, but I hope you are able to locate some! Just make sure you don't get the cousin Wanshui Guanghui. I hear they are not as good.
Thank you so much for the experiment, I had wondered about the Hero, I think I’ll stick with my 72 Prismacolor set. I love your voice, very articulate, very honest. It was fun watching you.🤗
Hi there. I saw somebody haul these pencils but she has not reviewed them yet. So in the meantime I put in a search for reviews and found you. I really like the way you speak to us and kept it interesting. I am now a subbie looking forward to more videos. My 2¢ on the Prismas is that even though I bought them in person individually to make sure the core was centered in the barrel they are still a pain to sharpen. Many people have that problem - but I love the way they color. I have about 24 and am happy with that. I would love to have 160 colors to chose from. I only color in coloring books and my art will never be hung on a wall so I think this set of Hero pencils is #1 on my Christmas list. The big day is only 51 days away =-O. TFS it was easy to stick with you ^_^
Happy Puppy Pink Cupcake Kisses thanks that makes me happy. On my list to my boyfriend I put all the info for the Hero pencils the info for a 160 maybe 168 slot case. I said only get the case if you get the pencils - that I really really want -- lol. Thanks for your input ^_^
Great video thanks for Sharing now I think I'm a run out and go get me some I have all the artist great pencils It will be nice to have a set just to use in some of my cheaper books thank you so much what a very good comparison I you did
Awesome review!! And it's great watching you FINALLY. I am such an ass for waiting so long. I hope you remember me! From Erin 's group? Simple art for adults? Anyway great channel. I bought the pencils because of you 🤣
Love your reviews and thank you for taking the time to make them :) Could you please tell me what sharpener it was that you used in this review? I think it is battery operated and you push the pencil tip down into it
So you’ve been coloring awhile now and I am sure you have acquired more pencils. My question is do you ever still use these pencils? Would you still recommend them? Maybe you have more videos on your channel, I will check it out (just subbed) but I thought I would take a chance and ask you your updated opinion. Thanks!!
Hi there. Great question! This was my first large set of Pencils. Loved them for a large set. But when I received my Prisma Premier 150 set, they became the best/easiest Pencil for me to work with. If I could afford replacement prismas, I would not purchase them again, but I'm happy to have them (the muHERO, not the Wanshui or other sister names) in my collection. I've been led to believe that they are different in quality. I plan to do a comparison video of these to the feela Pencils. I think these may be better. I definitely need to use these more often, but I reach for softer Pencils more often BC of pain issues. These Pencils remind me more of polychromos, which I don't care for BC of the harder lead. PLEASE let me know if you have any other questions 💖
Can't tell much difference. Are you going to do them on Createspace paper? I'd be interested to see how they work on that paper. I need another inexpensive set for that paper. Thanks for the review
Nanci Vessells YESSS they worked great on all paper except on one of Millie Marotta's books. I've already done a video. It was shocking how well they blended!
Antoinette Cantu no I have not. I would love to try them. I've heard nothing but great things about them. But I'm on a book & pencils buying ban😂 maybe I can justify getting them later on in the year. Or maybe someone will get them for me in my swap group. I do a lot of swapping books and supplies.
Can you post your prisma-hero chart someplace? That would be most appreciated!! Also, as you mentioned, PRISMA are on sale all the time now.. just picked up a backup set of 72 for $24... that used to be over $75 a couple of years ago!
pesto12601 yes. There is a PDF copy on my Facebook group listed in the description. Yes Prismacolor are becoming less expensive. I will be getting a larger set soon.
pesto12601 / hi Pesto, prismacolors prices fluctuate based on production location. It is also good to note that, the quality also fluctuates based on production location. ~ Derwent pencils used to have a tight control over how their pencils are manufactured. ( I’m not sure who’s producing what or where today. ~ I actually own prismacolors that were made in America, Mexico & other places ! >• -•
Hi Neecy ~ thanks for the fun comparison demo. I have not seen Vaseline used as a solvent before. I will try it out . Stay warm 🌞🖍📗💝 It’s hella freezing here in NYC. 🌃😃
Hi Barbara - prismas are only made in Mexico now and there was a major issue with QC from their factories... when the colored pencil craze hit, prismas upp'd their production and dropped their prices dramatically (along with further declining QC).... the 72 pack is everyday low price of $25 online (has been for many months)... used to be 3x that price. no price fluctuation... just check here: www.amazon.com/Prismacolor-Premier-Colored-Pencils-72-Count/dp/B000E23RSQ - pencils are consistently off=center, bent and break when sharpened. Sad really.. but that is what happens with junk companies!!
Bonjour, j’ai vu que sur votre nuancier vous avez fait la correspondance entre les noms des crayons prismacolor via hero.....ces renseignements sont ils disponible quelque part...merci si vous pouvez me répondre....
Hi there. This particular brand seems to have disappeared. Only Wanshui Guanghui is available and a few others from Guanghui. But they are not nearly as good as mu hero Guanghui. Some have found these on wish and eBay. Try looking there. Hope you find them.
These pencils arem't oilbased, they are water soluble! At least mine are and I'm NOT talking about the watercolor pencils from Guang Hui in the 150set, I'm talking about the 160 set of the colored pencils that are described as oilbased and waterresistant! They lay down the colour really nice and for the price absolute great! (30€ for the set of 160 here in germany) But they aren't what they claim to be (and therefore useless for me)!
I try to figure out whats going on there. Some say that too but other who tested after I said it told me that the ones they own aren't water soluble. strange
interesting results. But I'm wondering if the blending with the hero's was odd was because of the prisma being wax based? If you recall, prisma was accidentally added to the hero leaf. So maybe that's why they didn't blend well or the same?
DEB PEREZ I'm using iPoint orbit by westcot. I also use a fiskar hand sharpener or a small metal hand sharpener. Hero is currently working on the possibility of making their Pencils open stock but as for now they are not available open stock.
Hi DollarDiva99 Coloring World. Thank you for your awesome and inspiring work, Would love a copy of this colour chart please, the Facebook page is not working
RAASHID AHMED ANSARI hi there. Weirdly the hero Guanghui is no longer available. Looks to be sold out. But everyone claims the Wanshui and south sun brands are the same. I don't think so bc of new research. Maybe you can contact hero company directly.
DollarDiva99 Coloring World Thanks for replying . If I directly contact them on theri contact no which is on their facebook page , will I get gunghui 168 colour pencils (christmas edition) I really want them .
PS. FYI. After some research. Everyone was saying the wanshui guanghui, hero Guanghui and southsun Guanghui oil pencils were all the same... Well they are definitely NOT. HERO seems to be the better of the bunch.
Just a suggestion, to get better layers move your fingers more towards the top of your pencil and you wont be pressing so hard. You can get lots of layers if you do that. And that will help a lot with your Prismacolor pencils. Also get you a paint brush and some odorless mineral oil like Gamsol instead of the blender pencil or Vaseline. If you like you can look me up on Instagram and see some of my art work I do a lot my art work with Prismacolor pencils. My name on there is minky5257.
I see your vidéo on pencils hero...l beleave that you have to find the names of Colors hero....where do you me find this....excuse m’y english....thank you...i read a little bit english....hahaha
Louise Lapierre Good job 😁 je l'ai fait moi-même. Je peux vous l'envoyer par courriel. mon email est au dessus. écrivez-moi pour le demander afin que j'aie votre adresse.
ty for doing this video hunny, I can't tell a difference, also wanted to let you know that there is a oil based blender pencils, I will look on amazon for you, & give you the link sweetie, also I'm going to edit my video & post the link to this video on it too.
I clicked on your FB page and asked to join. I also have fibro and chronic pain. I do adult coloring in my Bible. They are adding adult coloring to everthing.
So true. At this time I didn't have any other oil based Pencils. I only had a 24 set of Prismacolor. The purpose of this video was to create a color comparison chart to the 150 Prisma Premier Pencils set. At the moment I didn't yet have the prisma 150 Or any other large set and I wanted to follow along with color alongs that used Prisma Premier with the Hero pencils as a substitute. I was showing that the color Concentration and look of the colorings were very similar. And for those who desire Prisma 150 and couldn't afford them, that the hero's made a suitable large set substitution.
Thank you for doing all the big work of swatching and matching colors to Prismas. That was a lot of work and much appreciated.
Kyralae Bredi you are more than welcome 💞

Great review! I just put a set of these on my wishlist :)
I can't tell a difference. I was definitely on the fence about hero pencils. Now I'm definitely buying then ASAP

Christmas is on its way in the US really close to Christmas
Great video thanks for Sharing now I think I'm a run out and go get me some I have all the artist great pencils It will be nice to have a set just to use in some of my cheaper books thank you so much what a very good comparison I you did
Awesome review!! And it's great watching you FINALLY. I am such an ass for waiting so long. I hope you remember me! From Erin 's group? Simple art for adults? Anyway great channel. I bought the pencils because of you 🤣
Opal Kiehm Awe. Of course I remember you 🤗 you are going to do some awesome art with these!
I think they are very close and I am with you on the price!
Love your reviews and thank you for taking the time to make them :) Could you please tell me what sharpener it was that you used in this review? I think it is battery operated and you push the pencil tip down into it
Kate O Thx for stopping by my channel. I use the westcot iPoint orbit sharpener. It is at Wal-Mart for $9 and Amazon for 8
9.00 in the us
How many metallic and neon colors are there in this set?
Excellent review. I'm pretty impressed by those pencils. 🌸
just found your channel, having fun
I love your pencil sharpener. Where can I find one?
Sorry I completely forgot which sharpener I used in this video. Was it manual or electric? What color was it? How does it look?
No difference from a distance. I personally like the oil-based pencils. Sometimes I find the color get a blended off from using the blender.
Do you have a link for the pencil case please? Great video!
Lindy Clarkson Sure. I will put it in the description 😊
Hi how are you? In chart the dark one shades are of Prisma?
I'm good thx. I have a separate Prismacolor Premier chart. I just matched them up as close as possible.
So you’ve been coloring awhile now and I am sure you have acquired more pencils. My question is do you ever still use these pencils? Would you still recommend them? Maybe you have more videos on your channel, I will check it out (just subbed) but I thought I would take a chance and ask you your updated opinion. Thanks!!

Nanci Vessells YESSS they worked great on all paper except on one of Millie Marotta's books. I've already done a video. It was shocking how well they blended!
Have you tried the feela pencils? I'm curious to know what you think of them.
Antoinette Cantu no I have not. I would love to try them. I've heard nothing but great things about them. But I'm on a book & pencils buying ban😂 maybe I can justify getting them later on in the year. Or maybe someone will get them for me in my swap group. I do a lot of swapping books and supplies.
Could you add the prisma colors comparision colors please
Neceeeeeee! I'm ordering this set...is there any chance you could help me to figure out different color combinations to do darker skin tones, pls?
Feministe Wynn Surely. I'm going to do a video on creating skin tones with these.
awesome, thanks!!!!
Love your color chart. Did you make it or print it from a webpage?
Rozalyn Leslie they send it along with the pencils.
DollarDiva99 could you post the comprible prisma colors please

I purchased the prisma 150 pencils for $57. And used mostly app money to pay for them.
Angel G that was a good price. Was it on Amazon during Black Friday?
DollarDiva99 no, they just had a sale for them about two days for that price. Keep checking because I've seen them that price a little while ago.
Angel G what apps do you use?
Antoinette Cantu mainly ibotta. Also website Instagc.com, keeprewarding.com
Happy Puppy Pink Cupcake Kisses Hi! Can I buy Hero pencils with no fear? I'm in doubt... but PCs are very expensives😍
This video is super long but keep out the grate coloring
😊😊😊
Remember, Hero pencils are oil based and Prismacolor are wax, so there's a difference, Hero pencils should be compared to Polychromos
