    I love the Pablos, I had a good experience with them in a Rita Berman book, they laid down so smooth, almost like ink! Had to keep a really sharp point to get the best out of them. I coveted them a long time, and they're up there with the Polys for me. Love your manner and such informative narration, thank you!

    Great sets. I could be very happy with just the Derwent range of pencils, but even happier with Polychromos and Prisma and Caran d'Arch ranges thrown in as well. Budget pencils can be fun, but the more expensive ones can be a joy. As I watched I was using Derwent Procolour, Coloursoft and Artist pencils to colour a floral picture in Colouring Heaven's Botanics Collection. They love that paper. It's good to have favourites. We get very familiar with the colours and what we can achieve with them. But I'm still loving my small set challenges. 18 Pablos started me off on my Pablo journey. I did a double page spread in Secret Garden with those. I often use 36 pencil sets and since I was given them on my birthday at the start of May, I'm loving the 12 set of Blackwing pencils. Just 12, and 1 is silver! But I can make so many different shades and tones with them. I just add in a white from somewhere else. Plus I have to loan in any skin tones I need. But still, awesome pencils. Great quality. I wish they made a 36 set.

    • @ColorfullyOptimistic

    If you can't find good use of the prisma neons, let me tell you they are beautiful in a Sunset scene mixed with other colors.

    I love the neons and wish they would come out with a full neon set. It would be nice to keep them separate. The same goes for metallic. I would love to see a complete metallic line as a separate line. I love my old copper pencil. The new bronze just isn't the same. The old copper must have had actual copper in it. When I pulled it out after years of storage, it was tarnished. Sharpened it, and the copper color underneath was still intact, so, patina over time is actually possible. Wish I had purchased more back then.

      Well, yes, that is true, but the quality is not. Some of their "rejects" that shouldn't be sold are purchased/retrieved and resold, which is why there are a lot of bad batches out there. Same goes with their quality control. Prisma doesn't always have the best QC practices, BUT there are resellers, like Blick, that make sure they aren't selling defective ones. That was what I meant. Obviously, they are all made by the same company, but where you buy them can impact the quality of what you receive.
