A while ago I bought these pencils. Right away I saw a bunch of posts on Instagram about how horrible they were and a few videos on YouTube about the brand being over rated.

Instantly I regretted buying these and set them aside, horrified that I made such a horrible decision by buying the pencils. I didnt touch them for months and I thought I fell into a trap, meme, or evil sales pitch that wasted my money.

Then randomly I decided to pull them out, maybe three years after I got them. And I hated Instagram ever since.

To put it simply: I love these pencils.

Now this isn’t a post to compare one brand with another, but this is a post about how great these pencils are. I love them, they’re beautiful, and the color selection is out of his world.

I absolutely regret not playing with these pencils for years and years. I began to draw and toned paper and eventually black paper. Heavy weight paper, of course.

The pics are examples of my prismacolor pencils on black paper. I began to draw on my black paper only because I did not want it to go to waste, but I began to love it and adore how bright the colors can appear above the surface. I also use Sakura Gelly Roll pens for added highlights, only I don’t need to explain how well the pens are, everyone loves the Sakura pens.

So I made this post only because I wanted to explain that even though a person might hate a brand or art supply, that does no mean you will hate it. I thought Prismacolor sucked and then I actually used the pencils on my own and with my own technique.

I hope everyone has a happy drawing day! Some if my friends started Art School in College!! I’m so jealous, but I can still draw on my own.
