Never experienced any of these but I would choose...
CRAYOLA
Spoorky same
Amen
Lol 😂
LOL same

I find it amazing that people complain about the price of the Polys. They think the Polys are expensive compared to the Prismas. News flash people: You'll be spending more money on your Prismas vs. the Polys. Why? Because you'll go through your Prismas faster than the Polys. I watched an interesting video where the person (SuperRaeDizzle) took 1 Prisma and colored blank sheets of paper (standard size 8.5 x 11}. She wanted to know how many pages she could color with 1 pencil. With the Prisma, she managed to color 4.5 pages. With the Poly, she colored 31 pages. Yeah, people, for every 1 Poly, you'll need 7.5 Prismas. Now break it down into money and you tell me which one is truly the more expensive one.
Polychromos lol
I think it was actually 39 pages with the Polychromos by the time she'd used them entirely up.
Polychromos are more expensive but they have better value than prismas, I'm a beginner and have been using prismas but not I switched to polys and I just love how infinitely you can layer them without having a wax build up and I love the details I can get and also you can get more depth in your work than what you get on prismas. With Polys you can also work continuously without sharpening your pencils once in a while. My prismas really don't last long like my polys. Well I'm simply saying I super love the switch. As a beginner I fell in love with my polys but I still have my prismas though cause I'm not using them that much anymore since I had my polys.
In my country polys are cheaper then prismas 😅
Well, good thing I want polys for Xmas
Another great video! I personally have a lot of trouble with prismacolor tips breaking, so they last a fraction of how long my polychromos do, BUT I love them. I can't choose haha
Thank you :D Yeah I agree, the sharpener I use works really well at preventing breakage on the prismas. They used to break constantly when I use hand held metal little sharpeners, but the derwent superpoint manual sharpener is amazing :) I really like to use prismas with the polychromos, they really complement each other well! Btw congrats with your growth recently, you are absolutely killing it! You really deserve it :D
Thank you hun!! I really appreciate it!! Can't wait to see more of your work and I'll definelty have to try that sharpener 😁🤘🏼
Haha it’s so cute, so many art youtubers supporting all of each other’s channels and commenting feedback on videos
SuperRaeDizzle try comparing faber castell Goldfaber with prisma they are lightfast and set is 144 colors
just came here from YOUR faber castell video lmao 😂😂
In conclusion: I don’t have money to buy either of those.
Same lmao
Well its a good thing my cusin become a teacher becuse she has alot of color pencil and other i found tha she has a prismacolor water color and am happy
You can buy a 24 pack for prismacolo at a target for $20
@@rudyzuniga1751 bruh... I’m Brazilian. Prismacolor is over 200 dollars (in my case, “reais”) ;-;
@@petitluna2571 yeesh 😬
I'm impressed with how comprehensive this explanation is.... But I'm still no wiser about which I'll choose.
I started out thinking Prisma was the best choice for blendability and vibrancy, but quickly changed my mind halfway through this video. The polys can do everything the prismas can do, only with more detail, less fading, and no wax bloom. I'm def going with faber castel!
Stephanie Mitchell well how’d that go?
Stephanie Mitchell but they’re more expensive
go with Prismacolor
@@stephaniemitchell8509 me too buddy
Prisma colors are really really cheap

In comparison to FB they are tho
I used to have prisma color pencils
Two words: Caran d'Ache.
Miguel Madamba if you think in the set are a lot of pencils then is it really cheap
Yes in comparison one pencil is like 36 of them is 18 dollars

I've been using Prismacolors for a long time, and I've always wanted Faber Castles because they looked so much better. It's nice to see that it's perfectly fine for me to stick with what I have at the moment.
Yeah prismacolors are fine, the only reason you might need to switch is if you want to sell your work. The fact prismas fade so much and forms wax bloom makes them not great if you want to sell the art :)
I have faber-castell (:
You did not just spell 'Castell' as 'Castle'.. Please, as a F-C fan for years, this is hurting me
@@Thorn0Wack bruh, I wrote this six years ago.
Perfect timing. I want fabers but they’re so expensive
Adnan A not in mine lol. Ross just had a sale on my country and they literally moved 25 dollars of soft pastell (faber) to 10 dollars! i am soooo lucky!
SpaghettElijah they sell Faber’s at your Ross?! Maybe I need to plan a trip to your country if you have such good deals 😂
In my country faber castell artist line cost 1,36€ each so there pretty cheap.
MixItUp Animations in my country a 48 pack is under $5 probably
Doopyder artist or the normal ones?
at 2min 36 seconds in it is obvious that that these 2 types should be used together to maximize blending and vibrance with top layer of finer details
After deliberating over which pencils to buy for such a long time, I decided to go with Polychromos. The reason for this choice was that I was able to get a set of 36 at a discounted price because the tin was slightly damaged. After watching your very informative video, I’m so glad I came home with the Polychromos! I love them!
I love the way she explains every category
One thing I would add to the comparison, is the transparency. Polychromos are more transparent then Prismacolors. I first watched this video about two years ago, and ultimately bought the full set of 120 Polychromos. But then I started doing some work on black paper. I just couldn’t get the color density I wanted, and the problem was apparently related to how transparent the colors are: too much of the black paper was showing through. So now I’ve invested in a set of 150 Prismacolors. They have a greater opacity and for this type of art, that was important.
i’ve never actually tried Prisma Color but, I have the Faber Castell polychromos, and they are AMAZING! They are soft, really pigmented, great at layering and detail, and the list goes on and on. but one thing I really love about them is that they do NOT break easily.
I have a set of both. One great wax set (prismas) and one AMAZING oil set. But I am an oil based girl at heart. I really love layering slowly with a strong point. Aside from Poly's I have like 4 sets of some amazing less expensive oil pencils. But I realize that it's easier to make a great budget oil pencil versus a wax one because I cannot find a GOOD budget wax pencil. Once my prismas are almost gone I won't repurchase as much as I love them. I'll get the Caran dache luminance or the Derwent Lightfast. Both oil and wax types have their uses which are completely different. I LOVE using polychromos and prismas together. It's a match made in heaven.
Prismacolor is definitely my favourite ones!
I have both and think you can't really compare them. They are used for really different things, and on is oil and one is wax. So, they are both great pencils.
Yeah, I had an art class at school where we were gently encouraged to use prismacolors, and I really really loved them!
?angel ? Hi do they teach you in art school to draw?:)
@@jenniescookie1339 hm, I don’t know bc I never went to art school, I’m still to young :’)
if you can afford them
Farber castell seems to be the better choice if you're going for archival (archivable? archivalable?) artwork. Also good for details which I love to do. :D But yeah... price... hmmm.
Syster Yster i bought a box of prisma color 150 colors. It was 450 $ 😓😓 . I love them and they are better than polychromes
Sajad Movahhedi
That's like... a lot of my salary... that isn't very high and two people are living off of. O___o I want them though. :(
Syster Yster ...But Prismacolors wear down a lot faster and break constantly. In the long run, you may actually be saving more by getting Faber Castell. You can get a 120 set of Polychromos for $251.34 on Amazon where I come from. Idk where you live, but $450 is ridiculously expensive for Prismacolors.
Mion Keenan
I'll check, but if I buy from Amazon I usually buy from UK. I live in Sweden. So there's also shipping and the way the post is being treated... XD But yeah, I'll check anyway... maybe I can buy some in the future. Atm I use Staedtler Karat Aquarelle pencils. They are good, but far from the best. :)
Helios i got a pack of 72 off of amazon for like $30 including shipping and i have two packs of them plus the sharpener it was a good deal
I use Prismas religiously. I use hairspray- preferably Aquanet- and the colors do not fade. Try that. Great vid!
I had an art teacher tell me the same thing
@@pinkypinks4336 me too
What I learned: Get both
😂 😂 👍🏻👍🏻
I have both
Looking into getting Castle
What I have learned no wallet will exist now
Parents would think I’m crazy if I asked
I have both and although I hate the breaking and constant sharpening of the Prismas I still choose my Prismas over the Polychromos. Polychromos are such a great pencil and so well made and you don't have to sharpen them as much... but they just don't blend as well or as easy as the Prismas. They do blend, but for me it takes a lot longer to blend than the prismas. As far as the "white" pencil goes. I don't like either Prisma or Faber Castell. I bought two Caran D'Ache Luminance white pencils. Absolutely the best white pencil ever! Fantastic comparison video, Kirsty!
Prismacolour for portraits - castells for animals - me “ BUT I DRAW PORTRAITS AND ANIMALS 🤭
*GOD DOESN'T EXIST* 👌
Aquaa I have no idea why I said that now 😂
MK Wraith
Well, I agree with you anyway.
thats what i said
Aquaa think it might have been a reply
I've had the faber castells for years, and I just recently got the prismacolors. It honestly comes down to preference. I prefer the prismacolors because I like the softer lead, they are easier to blend and have a closer consistency to pastels. The only problem is that they wear down fast because of how soft they are. The faber castells are a pretty hard lead, so they don't need to be sharpened nearly as much and last a lot longer. You can definitely still blend them and the pigments are still really good, I just prefer the pigment in the prismacolors and I love the softer lead.
I love my prismacolors for coloring and doodling. They are soft but I LOVE how they feel! I also use a spray sealant to lock everything down.
I've watched many videos talking about the differences between these two brands but this is BY FAR my favorite video, so well done
I recently bought the polychromos and am currently testing them out. Before buying them I only used cheap watercolor pencils. Well I gotta tell you these are my first professional high-quality pencils I've had and so far so good. I'm so happy to hear they don't fade! That means I can do some serious investment and start drawing pictures as presents on occassons. I learn mainly from you. Without you, I wouldn't even learn how to draw with coloured pencils. Thanks for educating me. I'll keep watching your videos.❤❤❤
Both Prismacolor and Polychromos are way more expensive where I live :( I had to invest a lot of money to get a starter's set of Prismacolor pencils...
Rachel
Same.. RM115 for a set of 24 prismacolors
Omg in my country prisma cost like 200 rm for 24 :(
I got 16 fabers for 10 dollars
Mine too. Faber castell is more affordable.
Try Amazon
Thank you for the comparison between Prismacolor and Polychromos colored pencils. I have used Prismacolor for many years and still love them. But I wish I had known how much more detail can be obtained with the Polychromos back when I was still making trading cards.😊
I have the 150 set of Prismacolor and only 12 of the Polys. I am happy with my Prismas. One of the biggest things I like is the color is pretty clearly printed on, whereas it is hard to read on Polys and Luminance, both of which are great pencils otherwise. The color so clear on Prismas makes it easy to sort and select pencils for projects.
THIS IS THE VIDEO I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MY WHOLE LIFE. I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG!YAAASSSSS!🤓
Ahaha well I hope it is helpful 😊💕
Kirsty Partridge Art ❤
Lol i made such a huge deal when i got my prismas thinking that they will be great for portaits and stuff and i got so fast back to my polychromos . prismas are a lil tricky for me
FABER CASTLE'S ALL THE WAY!!!! P.S I bought a set of 48 original Faber castle pencils and TBH they weren't as expensive as I thought they would be! But gotta admit...it was kinda expensive 😅
Bruh there is no set of polychromos of 48 😂 you probably bought the classic ones
Is it possible to "mix" them? For example the first layer with polychromos and the second with prisma? Do they blend together?
Yes
I was wanting to know this as well
Yes!
Yes, I do that too. I use the polychromos for smaller tighter details while use the primsa for the blurry backgrounds and wider areas. Another thing I also notice is that polychromos' colors don't "pop" as much as the prisma when it comes to dark color backgrounds (papers)
I bought my Polychromos pencils on Amazon for about 1/2 the price any where else and I absolutely love them over the other brand!
This was so helpful, I’m not an artistic person and don’t have a clue what I’m looking for but buying as a gift for a friend who would like to illustrate children’s books. Definitely going for the Fabers. I read they’re a good brand but the information you gave about fine detail and drawing animals has made my mind up, also want them to look and feel like good quality so thank you!!
I do like Prismacolor pencils, and still have most of an older set bought in the early 1990s for my aunt, who later gave them to me. I don’t buy them anymore because they seem to have quality issues. I also have a full set of the Polychromos pencils, they feel totally different. I like both brands, but I think Prismacolor has a better color selection. Either way, I rarely use colored pencils so it doesn’t matter all that much!
YES!! I requested this! Thanks for this.
My pleasure
I counted and she said the word “creamy” 78 times
what are you thinking XD
Nah m8, 79 times
Anyway, it's lewd we are from the other side 😂

@@fearlesspotato3429 NO-
Love the video! Personally, I prefer Polys because they last longer (in my experience). Plus Prismas get a clear, hard wax buildup when you add lots of layers that make it hard to blend and looks super shiny.
That said, I think Prismas DO have great pigmentation and are awesome for learning techniques with. I gave some to my niece (an aspiring artist) and she loves them.
This morning I've only watched about umpteen watercolor videos trying to learn what I can and understand them better. I'm an experienced floral designer and 'well rounded' artist/crafter who is willing to try just about anything (lol except knitting) and love watercolors...but not done a lot with them. Recently I've been stamping greeting cards and playing with a few lower end water color pencils & really want to make my cards the best they can be. (and who knows if the cards go well, I'll venture into bigger paintings.) I'm of the opinion that while some things are good to buy frugally & others you just have to spend a tiny more for better quality outcome. Your video this morning was sooo encouraging to me because you put it in a way that anyone can understand. It was so well organized and presented in a way that I am no longer confused on what is what and what to look for when shopping. That seemed to be the hardest part for me. I learned new terms also that I've not heard in other videos. Thank you so very much for putting this video out there and making me feel more confident on my journey into watercolors!! You are awesome!
Thanks Kirsty. I find my Prismas smudge a lot when layering and colouring and transfer colour onto your hands too while colouring with much more pencil dust that can get dirty on the page. I have to spray it with workable fixative as I go on. Polys are rich and creamy and don't have that pencil dust or as much transference, easier to work with.
This is really helpful! Though they are both expensive, I've been wanting better colored pencils and the Polychromos definitely suits me better.
Prisma Colors are a) badly manufactured, b) prone to breaking, and c) known for wax bloom.
Considering the Prisma Colors have to be imported to my country they are almost as expensive as the Polychromos.. so no point in getting them unless the quality issues will be fixed at some point.
So, if you can afford it (this list is in order of "expensive" to "seems like I won't be eating this month"):
Oil based --> Polychromos
Wax based --> Caran d'ache Luminance (hardly any wax bloom and extremely lightfast)
Mixed --> Holbein
JB thats what i want to hear ! Love the Faber Castells and the Holbeins
Where I am Prisma color are very cheap. $40 for 48 pack. Faber castel is $100 for 36 pack. And Holbien has such beautiful colors but $200 for 50
U make me feel bad cause I just bought a prismacolor 150 :(
@@Laiherself prismacolors are amazing as well, though. I'll be buying the 150 pack next month :D
Thank you!! Your channel has helped me vastly improve my work over the year and a half I appreciate it very much. Oh and I love Do's and Don't section
Thanks for this video, kept it short but long enough for all the facts and the table you made and followed was super useful. I'm trying to decide which pencils to buy and from this I've worked out I need to cross prisma off my option list as I just get too annoyed at pencil breakage. As much as I want the gorgeous blendable colour I am not good enough at sharpening to keep them working, not to mention they r bound to all get wrecked in shipping from the US to AUS. Thanks so much :) Have subscribed because of this video.
Thank you for doing this video, it helped me decide which one I should choose :) I can’t wait to start drawing, making landscapes, animals, and so much more!
i strongly agree with the part about detailing! i use prismacolors for the drawing that i’m currently working on and it’s so hard to draw the fine hairs with them
I have had Prismacolor colored pencils for a long time now and some colors I use are about to end, and I have NEVER experienced a single breakage. I don't know why people keep complaining about that. I use a Staedtler sharpener and it works perfectly.
I personally like using Prisma because of how creamy they are, and I was surprised when she said you couldn't get that much details lol but I guess that's depending. I use Prisma all the time, but the only problem I can say I have with Prisma is the tips breaking because of how delicate they are. I definitely recommend Prisma color for beginners, and remember that the black and white are extremely crucial lol. White becomes your best friend in Prisma NY friends and black becomes your secret weapon
This video is just what I was looking for! I really love drawing but I don’t really color most of my works. I’ve been wanting to get into coloring but I never dive into something without doing some research. I decided I was going to get prismacolors but I was still open to options. I wanted to find a video that contained color pencil brands along with information on them. I knew a few good youtubers who’s channels revolved around art but I couldn’t find any videos containing the info I needed. Then I saw your video and I watched it. I have to say I don’t know how to thank enough. This is really what I needed. You’ve definitely got yourself a new sub!😊
In Poland they're both deadly expensive. I had to take a loan to get polychromos :(
jezu dokładnie, przesada z tymi cenami, placimy doslownie 4 razy wiecej niz w np. ameryce czy cos
I love the way you explain things! Thank you so much for this, I really needed it. I bought the Prismacolors because of the price and because I had heard that they were the best colored pencils you could buy unless you were a professional artist. I hadn't heard anything at all about the Faber Castells. I tend to hold my pencils and pens way too tightly and my hand always hurts quickly. I also break leads all the time, so I go through pencils pretty quickly and this is very expensive. It almost seems like you need to have both kinds of pencils to get all of the benefits and use each set for different things. Thank you for explaining this so well.
This is really helpful. I've been using Prismacolor for 15 years but recently I need to use a pencil with a a harder tip for fine details as my drawings have become much more detail oriented. I'm looking forward to having a pencil I can sharpen without breaking the tip too - such a waste !
This is the best comparison of colored pencils I've ever seen! So helpful. Thank you very much.
I'd say, use both and interchange as needed for different areas of your drawing.
I want to thank you the way you showed the difference. I am totally new at this. Your is the best video of showing the difference. I subscribed to your RUclips channel. Thank you again
I personally use prisma colors but I think I may need to invest in some polychromos now. It is quite hard doing pet portraits with the prismas so thanks for the tips. Would you be willing to do a paper comparison video comparing different types and brands of paper and the pros and cons of each one for color pencil?
I started out with primsa and they have been great, good intro to colored pencils as a beginner artist. Then after a few years with my art, I wanted to upgrade and found I mostly focus on detail and not blending. So I am feeling pretty good that I should splurge and get a nice big set of the faber ones 🎉 thanks for the video, it was helpful to see the comparisons😊
I have been using both for quite some time and the good thing about them is that you can use both pencils together in one drawing. I don't use prismacolor for details because i use faber castell (the one that i have is classic) but it works so wonderful in blending. For those who are drawing portraits and are unsure of what to use, this video can be a guide for y'all. :>
The thing is.........
I can't afford both of them😢😢😢
same :'(
True... watch my paintings

It's faber castell of course
I don't know if faber castell had more than 72 colour pencil,if they had then I can afford:-)
Cuz in my country it's low price ^_^
I am planning on buying new art materials.. Thank you for the video!
I have been using the Prismacolor for almost a year now and I am quite satisfied, though I will try and mix them with Polychromos. For me, the Polychromos might be a little bit better, since I can replace single pencils, whereas I failed to find replacement pencils of Prismacolors without having to buy another box of 150 pieces.
That was EXTREMELY informative. Thank you.
Very detailed review & comparison. I'm actually trying to decide on which brand to buy and it's down to these exact 2 so this was very helpful, thank you!

prismacolor premier color pencils
no doubt😊
So far? Prismacolor :3 I’m trying to get better with colored pencils cause I work with black and white so much (charcoal and graphite) and I think they’re very good :3
Right now I`m using Prismacolor pencils, because I have recently started drawing more portraits and they`re quite good for a begginer, but I wouldn`t say my white pencil is really good, it doesn`t layer that good on top of dark colors and it doesn`t look that vibrant. I would like to try Caran d`ache Luminance, as I`ve seen you achieve great results with it.
The 2 colors in the thumbnail would make a gorgeous Sari! (of course, we'd need to use a gelly roll pen to add gold trim to the outfit and for the jewelry)

I have the white polychromos pencil and I found out it works best on toned paper (tan or gray) and black paper; especially black paper. On black paper it looks super luminous, and on toned paper it looks really bright and does go over dark colors nicely.
Can you mix both brands?
Yes they work really well together :) I often use both brands on one drawing. I often do the base colour in prismas and add details with my polychromos!
This is probably the best video i have watched... I am new to "colors" and You explained so many things and compared the two very popular brands. Thank you. This is amazing!
Here you go

I completely agree with you. I've been lokin' for a specific difference and now I saw your comment it makes totaly sense. Prisma colors Neon or vivid colors and Polychroms clear colors. thanks.
I've low-key been waiting for this, tysm Kirsty!
your welcome :)
PRISMACOLOR!!!!!😘😘😘💓💓💓👍👍👍
Baby oil is the best medium for blending Polychromos pencils. That pigmentation becomes something else entirely! The violets, indigos, and reds take on this richness that really makes the shades shine.
thx a lot for the tip!!
What about the paper? Oil must be visible on the back off the sheet. It is not good option for a piece you may want to give away
Cant we become good artist at art without expensive materials ?
Saeyoung Choi yea you can make art with basically anything
Yes. I think people tend to get expensive brands because they are more archival/lightfast. I've made decent work with prang, crayola, and so on cheap or mid-priced materials. But the stuff I sell I try to use Artist grade in case they hang it up and light hits it.
kiblaze okay, in my country there isnt expensive materials. What should I do about this topic ?
Saeyoung Choi you could look up lightfastness on the materials you do have access to maybe? Or just be careful it isn't exposed to light for extended periods of time if you aren't able to find any lightfast cheap materials? All my cheaper things are in my sketchbooks so they seem alright due to not sitting in the sun/light much. They're only exposed when I worked on them and then when I show it to anyone. I hope this helps some.
kiblaze yes! Thanks.
Your video tutorials for art are a big help to me. A huge Thanks for sharing and more power to your Channel.
Do you seal your artwork with cold wax? And if so, does that help with preserving the lightfastness of the artwork?
Thank you Kirsty, Just what I was looking for. So confusing when you don’t know anything about it. Just starting to use colored pencils, so this made my day!!
*in what world is 34 pounds is cheap????*
High-quality art supplies are expensive, bro. I'd happily spend £34 on supplies that I know are gonna be amazing quality.
😅😄
In the art world sadly. Art supplies aren't cheap, they all have VAT added and they are marketed and sold as 'luxuries'.
100 mill subs without vids cheap is a relative term. A copic marker for $2 is super cheap, but one piece of gum for $2 is a rip off.

Such a useful video! In my opinion I'm not a big fan of Prismacolour pencils purely because they're a bit messy to use. The tips break all the time, they smudge easily by accident, however the Faber Castell ones don't. I guess it really depends on what you're looking for in an art supply, and your preferences.

FABER CASTELL POLYCHROMO SQUAD #2019
Whatever brand you use, I have found from experience that it is better to sharpen them with a hand held sharpener because electric sharpeners can eat up a colored pencil pretty quickly, and that can be expensive! I like the Kum double hole sharpener for good ponts.
Wow, Faber castel is basically used by almost every kid in my country. We don't have Crayola here😂
Probably the student grade pencils 😃
In which country r u living?
I didn't know crayola existed until 3 months ago
This was a great video!! Thank you. This makes me understand that if I am only doing hobby art, prismacolor work better, whereas for commissions polychromos maybe better.
Will the light fastness of prismacolors last longer if you coat it in sealant like resin?
#1: you're beautiful.
#2: I had been saving for polychromos for a while, and even purchased the 12 piece set... But after trying them out and watching your videos... I'm going to pass and go with the luminance set. Thank you kirsty
1. Thank you
Hi i lova your chanel you are my favorite artist
Awww thank you very much 😊💕
I built a hybrid set of Prismacolor Polychromos Luminance and Pablos. Im pretty happy with it and it seems my pencils are lasting and lasting and versatile.
I love prisma but man they make me mad when they keep breaking! Maybe there's a prisma vs luminance video in the future...? 😊
yes please ! I'd love to see a prismacolor vs. luminance video
I have the prismacolor coloured pencils at the moment but they're kinda hard to get in Germany :( I recently found a shop that sells the luminance ones but they're super expensive...
Have you tried a helical blade sharpener? I use Dahle 133 hand crank helical sharpener and my prismas never had the constant breakage issue again o: it's like $11 on Amazon and I just make sure to clean the blade every now and then c:
I haven't tried one that I know of :) I'll have to look into the one you mentioned!
Left Brain Liz I was doing research and usually came across a derwent manual sharpener video (but it's like $30-45) and then accidentally stumbled across Dahle 133 in the comments ,so I did some digging, and was just so excited to find out it's $11 lol. Some people have used electric helical sharpeners but the manual ones give you more control c: Wish you luck and if you get one I hope it helps your problem like it did for me!
Left Brain Liz Luminance wins, no competition at all. Luminance are the wame just way more high quality.
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge about these color pencils with us it was very helpful 😊
