Thank you!
I tried colored pencil drawing. I purchased a 48 set of prismacolor premier colored pencils and went from there. The pencils were really expensive, lol. It didn't work out for me because the leads kept breaking either while coloring or sharpening the pencil.
I was coloring a picture once and the lead kept breaking off one of the main colors I was using both while sharpening and coloring. I used the prismacolor sharpener and took advice from other people about this and nothing worked. The wood is terrible and splinters up and splits apart during sharpening further damaging the pencil.
I purchased two more packs of these 48ct prismacolor pencils for back up but about half of them had the same lead breakage problem.
I really liked the pigment/color of these pencils but the poor quality I've experienced elsewhere makes them useless to me.
When I walk by them at the hobby store, I cringe.
How do those polychromos work for you?
It looks like you're putting out some eye candy art with those!
I have got my Polychromos for 4 years and I am very satisfied with them! The lead has a comfortable degree of hardness. In this 4 years it breaked only while sharpening when the pencil was shaked before, e.g. when I transported them in my backpack without protective cover. I use a special sharpener from Faber-Castell which makes the lead a bit shorter than other sharpeners. Apart from that these pencils have intensive colours, too, they are light resistant, waterproof... I love them
