Col-Erase Erasable Colored Pencils, Adult Coloring, 24 Pack

I think this brand has been far to criticized and to let you all know, Yes, they came unsharpened. I was glad they came this way. I know what sharpener to use & how to use it right & that makes all the difference! I got the 24 pack ( i think ) , I read up on these and ordered the 3 pack of KUM 104.03.01 & sharpened them all without a single problem! NO BREAKAFE, no loose leads. All centered cores & I like these BETTER than the newer Prisma colored premier pencils. The lead is stronger, and I got nice points and tried ALL out on a white piece of paper to color swatch and test all of them. If your steel blades ... the KUM sharpeners get dull.....of COURSE you can have issues. But no problems at all. I like the way they lay down color and I will be buying more to gift to family. Both the Prisma Col-Erase and will stick to the small but great KUM sharpeners. Go look up on you tube how to use these right & you will be happy with both. I agree the erasers they come with are sub- par for sure...but so what. The Suma erasers work well to erase the color if I need to do so. I have to wonder if competitors leave bad reviews as they are such a good deal! OR people do not know how to sharpen right or what sharpeners work best for this brand. Go slow and easy when sharpening and take time to care properly 4 storing and don't bang then around and drop alot...as then well..I don't know as I keep mine in a glass, so they don't roll off my table. AGAIN...NOT ONE PENCIL broke when I sharpened mine and I like them very much! ALSO. I got all of them...packed well and all the same length and no missing colors! So, if all those bad reviews were true...then the company heard toy all & are flying straight now! That was my experience.! These are what I would call student grade or hobby grade level....but I use to color-code my bibles and color and they work for that.

These are hyped up, and for a good reason. They are pretty erasable for a colored pencil and blend perfectly. I use them to create a sketch under my watercolor paintings and makes a beautiful saturated undertone for the painting. I have had these for a few years and have not grown tired of them. Suitable for professionals, hobbyists, and children alike.

I was very hesitant that these would erase well or be not visible enough for sketching but was pleasantly suprised!! They're not 100 percent eraseable but honestly trust me it'll not matter once the piece is done and you make sure to draw lightly before darkening details for those like me who prefer clean line art or drawings. - One con would be however is that the eraser kind of bleeds a bit of color around but it's only up close. You don't need to put so much pressure to draw which I've had issues with from a different brand. -con is that you have to erase each individually as they're not sharpened. So if you want a bit of color to your sketchbook I'd Definitely recommend this! Its such a great deal for how many colors there are. They also have different colors in bulk you can buy online here.

These are really nice pencils. I use them for drawing and the pigmentation is excellent. They erase really well which is was both surprised and pleased with. My only complaints are they don't last because of constant sharpening and the leads seem to be broken inside, which is what contributes to the constant sharpening. Other than that, awesome

I LOVE the col-erase pencils for UNDER drawings and detail work. They are a harder/firmer and less pigmented colored pencil, which is why they are perfect for detail work vs. the Premier pencils. Since they are erasable and less pigmented they are perfect for under sketches for anatomical positions, portraits, and general composition. I swatched them next to similar premier pencils- premier are a softer, more pigmented, and blend-able pencil, which is good for dense color, color mixing, and gradations. You can do this with the col-erase but it must be done in layers, rather than a thick layer over thick layer, as if you press too hard they will mark into the paper and create a wax layer that is hard to blend together. Premier picks up more of the paper texture, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you won’t get it as much with the col-erasers. Don’t have Premier expectations, and remember that using different types of pencils can serve different yet essential purposes. I love both types because they allow me to create multi-dimensional artwork. I also have a few swatches at the bottom of some random prismacolor Scholars and Blick Studio pencils I got as samples when I was in art school. Scholar is more pigmented and waxy than Col-Erase but firmer and less blend-able than Premier. Blick Studio is fairly comparable to Premier but with less wax fallout, unsure how they compare cost wise but I assume they are more affordable than the Premier and Blick offers student discounts if you are in art school!

I am a big Prismacolor fan. I have accumulated several sets of each size box of their wonderful Premier colored pencils over the years, as well as the entire collection of their Premier double-ended markers. I use Prismacolors almost exclusively in my work, filling in with Derwent, Lyra, and other brands only when a specific shade or effect can't be achieved with my Prismacolors. I bought these erasable Prismacolors just to give them a try. Immediately upon trying them it was apparent to me that they are totally unsuitable to use for any level serious artist. In my opinion, they are so far removed from their other super-premium products that I don't even keep these in my studio. In my opinion, these would be a great choice for a younger artist, or one who is not yet confident in their art and wants to practice with something that isn't permanent. I do, however, use these often, just not for their intended purpose. I discovered they are PERFECT to use in Bible or book study. I never like to write in my Bible or my books, but sometimes really want to mark things. Prior to trying these pencils, I used sticky note flags. Those are OK but far from ideal. Although I would have to say these are not 100% erasable, I went ahead and started marking my Bible and books with them, knowing if I ever want to remove my underlining that it would be easy to (mostly) erase it. I have to say that these pencils have really improved my study time a lot. I'm so glad I gave it a shot, and I would totally recommend these to anyone like me who doesn't like to write with permanent ink in their Bible/books but wants to make marks that can be removed. 5 stars for allowing me to improve my study so much!

These are favored by most artists and deserve most of that praise. However, they are not SO exceptional that they surpass all others. Yes, they have a nice color saturation and blend fairly well. There are others almost as good that are coming out though. I dont know if its vecause manufacturing is cheaper than before ir if the cost of raw materials is lower now,but there are other pencils giving this one a run for the money. If you can afford these and prefer these then by all means go for it. I csn say however that these will not make you a better artist. If you are learning to use pencils and are expecting that these will make your work appear at a whole otber level, they wont. If money is tight or you are a beginner, you can try a less expensive pencil set to practice with and then move up to these. If you csnt afford these then don't stress yourself. Ifbyou want them REALLY badly then buy a small set and purchase yhe colors you will use the most. My daughter draws EVERY SINGLE DAY, and she rarely goes to this set of pencils just because they cost so much more. She wanted them because some fellow artist said how great they were. She found out for herself that artists can be like fashion divas and throw out those better named products. Its all in the eye of the beholder...

I was looking for something in a colored pencil that would feel more like graphite. I'm not a huge fan of how colored pencils, even good ones, feel. Waxy. I read the reviews and thought these might work. I just got them today and have done a quick sketch and they are actually pretty cool. They feel very soft, not waxy at all but what is really different is how blendable they are. You can blend soft backgrounds with a tissue or q tip AND if you use a blending stump, you can actually move the color. I don't think they'd be good for coloring pet day but if you are looking to sketch? I think they are going to be great. I'm using them on Stillman and Burn Alpha paper and the combination is very good.

Great erasable color pencils

Amazing product and original thank you

Deze potloden van het goede merk Prisma vallen mij tegen. Ik ben de kleurpotloden van Prisma premier gewend en die bevallen me prima.

Schon das zweite Mal bestellt. Diese Stifte sind für mich einfach perfekt. Guter Farbauftrag, schöne Farben, gute Radierbarkeit da stimmt einfach alles. Leider in Europa schwer zu bekommen und Einzelfarben kann man hier gar nicht nachkaufen.

ماجربت البريزما نفسها بس حبيت اشتري ذي للاسكتشات بس انصدمت انو الوان تدمج وقوي لونها صرت استخدمها للتلوين رغم انو ماكانت الخطة كذا ههههههه _____ تحديث: طلبتها مره ثانيه مرا حابه اداءها
