- In this video I compare Faber-Castell Polychromos vs Caran D'Ache Luminance colouring pencils, to see which brand is best!
I start our by swatching each of the colours, to see how different the Polychromos are to the Luminance colouring pencils.
I then get started on creating a drawing, starting out with my trusty Faber-Castell Polychromos. The Polychromos are a long standing favourite of mine, so it's going to be a tough pencil to beat.
Once I've completed the Polychromos, I get started on the Caran D'Ache Luminance side of the drawing.
I'm really impressed with both sets of pencils.

Have you tried either of these pencil brands? Which would you recommend and why?
the luminance pencils are wax based - so they are kind of the "high end"-version of the prismacolor premiers - and they are a perfect match to the faber castell polychromos which are oil based, harder, better for details.
I have the luminance set of 40. My spouse bought them for me for birthday at my request. I used prismacolor before this for years and I absolutely love the luminance set. Hands down the best colored pencils. I don’t get the wax bloom issues I did with prismacolor, and they blend superbly.
They're so good aren't they! I find Prismacolor to be terrible for wax blooms, very frustrating.
Me encanta el dibujo, no puedo ver diferencias entre las dos mitades. Tengo los 120 Polychromos y estoy tan acostumbrada a ellos que no sé si me adaptaría bien a los Luminance, aunque me apetece mucho probarlos. Podría comprar unos pocos pero no me atrevo: tengo el "síndrome del set completo" y si me gustan, que es lo más probable, querré adquirirlos todos y no me lo puedo permitir 😅Creo que resistiré la tentación y continuaré disfrutando de mis Polys, que son una maravilla.
I am heavy-handed, and find I go through the Luminance too quickly. I also like the feel of them, and I think the pigment cores are thicker. I do think they are more fragile than the Polychromos. In your excellent sundae, the Luminance side looks like it has broken down a little. I think the desired effect needs to determine the brand! I've been frustrated by my difficulty in layering Poychromos, although part of the problem is my heavy approach! I break Prismacolors too easily. They are so waxy I mark them with dents too easily as well. Thanks very much for this comparison. I feel I can go forward with more carity now.
Really interesting comparison video thank you!! 😊
So happy you found it interesting 😊
very interesting video, I do not have the Luminance but they are on my wishlist!
Thank you 😊 They're very good pencils!!
Just ordered a 40 set of the luminance pencils, should arrive in a few day. Thank you for a honest review.
I hope you enjoy them!!
I have the Polychromos though i never use the luminance. I wish to get it one day😍. I find the Polychromos so good at maintaining its lead. Took me quite a few more layers and then sharpen it. They’re inconsistent, like the cream color was buttery while the copper was abrasive. I use them with my Derwent lightfast and i find that the Polychromos black is shimmery under bright light compared to the Derwent even though they’re both oil based. I heard that the Derwent lightfast is comparable to the luminance. So if one prefer an oil paint look, I’d suggest to get the luminance or the Derwent lightfast👍
The luminance lays down as a nice flat colour. You can get a little wax bloom with them. But they're a very good pencil. I have the Derwent Lightfast on my wishlist 😍
I saw the Caran D'Ache Luminance on Amazon for $205. It was the big set, so I am not sure if it was original. Thank you for sharing it, Gemma! :) I subscribed for my art learning journey!
You're welcome! I hope you find the video's useful! Enjoy you art journey, it's very exciting!
@@GemmaMorganArt Talk by wisdom and personal experience! What a testimony 😃
Really interesting and useful video, thanks. I did have to to mute it and watch with sub-titles because of the background music.
Which sharpener do you use for the Luminance ?
What paper did you use?
I have the full set of polychromos and a 20 set of Luminance pencils. I plan on buying more luminance pencils open stock since I don’t want to pay $100+ dollars for only 40 pencils.
Yea, I have to agree, it's the best way to buy these pencils. You have total control on which colours you're getting that way too.
