I like them had these color pencils before not first time buying great pencils to color with I find but the whole problem is the price I just find there expensive when there not on sale. I also like the colors as well and these color pencils color softly and blend in nicely and they worth it.

I didn’t really like using color pencils until I discovered burnishing, and then I fell in love with using them. I have a small set of the regular Prismacolor pencils but couldn’t afford a set with more colors. Regular Prismacolors are softer & easier to use but they do wear down quickly. This set of Scholars are the perfect solution with lots of colors, being more affordable and they last longer due to the pencils being harder with more wax. The two white pencils that are included are perfect for burnishing.What is burnishing? It is smoothing & filling in the look of color pencils by going over a color in white or a colorless blender pencil. It will look flatter, more like a marker but not quite that smooth. You can then use the color on top again if the color lightened from using white. For example, lay down some blue, burnish with the white pencil and if the blue now looks a tiny bit lighter lay down some more blue, and burnish again with white if desired. I keep repeating the process until I get the look I desire, usually 4 layers of a color & white total.Tip to not break the pencil tips: use a manual sharpener with a large hole to sharpen them. I discovered by accident that the tips don’t break using the larger hole rather than the smaller one on my manual sharpener. This is a game changer!As I’m currently wearing down a few of the Scholar pencils I’ll replace them with the open stock regular Prismacolor pencils and use them in conjunction with the Scholars to make them last longer. Eventually, I may buy another set of Scholars as I love them and find I can get pretty much the same look to the regular Prismacolors with a little more effort.

So this package made me throw out any crappy pencils I owned. Thickness of these are like the Crayola brand. Perfect quality standard. Does not smear. Designed flawless.

Living on a social security check & not having extra money to burn, I decided to try these. I just can't afford a large set of Prisma Premieres. First of all: the packaging is horrible!! I immediately transferred them to a pencil case. For all the hype about Prismacolor pencils, they LOOK SO CHEAP!! The printing on the pencils is VERY DIFFICULT to read & very blurry. Some of the printing never made it onto the pencil (a production error). Many of the pencils are cracked down the side so when you sharpen them you are exposing alot of the core. They do blend & lay down color without any effort (very smooth & creamy). They do give you 2 blacks & 2 whites (which I appreciate) because I use alot of black & the white is good for blending. For a 60 pc. set they do give you a decent selection of colors but I would have loved at least 1 very light brown & a couple of light skin tone colors. I could have done without a neon orange & a neon green. I would love it if they could come out with a larger set of these Scholar pencils for those of us who can't afford a $150 set of Premieres!

Un prix défiant toute concurrence. Une texture onctueuse (un peu moins que pour les Prismacolor Premier), proche des crayons-pastels à l’huile (Posca ou Kho-I-Noor, par exemple). Un rendu inattendu de vivacité, même sur papier noir. Aisés et rapides à travailler, ne nécessitant pas de blender. Un choix de coloris très varié, avec certains tons opaques. Deux doublons bienvenus : blanc et noir. On trouve un argenté, mais pas de doré (à récupérer chez les Prismacolor Premier). En somme, d’une qualité plus que scolaire, quasi professionnelle ! À ranger selon ses besoins (non dans le portant d’origine). À posséder absolument !

They are great for the price. Cheaper than Prismacolor premier pencils, slightly harder. But still very good to use

Best pencil crayons ever if you dont know them yet. Soft so easy to color. Hard wood that sharpens well. Crayons Dont break inside when dropped so chunks dont fall loose after sharpening like cheap ones. Unique vibrant colors for dark full coloring but 'easy' coloring even for starters. Box is cheap. Used to be a nice fold open cardboard carry case.

Let's go ahead and get the question I'm sure you're asking yourself out of the way. Are these really worth the extra cost?I would say, yes...ABSOLUTELY. Especially if you're taking an art class.I know it's tempting to skimp out of you're just taking an art elective for the credits, but do NOT do it. My professor specifically forbade us from using Crayola or any other cheap pencils. He said to get Prismacolor or Faber Castell and at first I had no idea why. I just sucked it up, used a 50% off coupon at Michael's and got a small tin of pencils.Fast forward a few years and I finally use up the last of my pencils and try to save some money with super cheap pencils from the dollar store. It only took one attempt at coloring to see the light (and it was just that...an attempt because the color payoff was atrocious no matter how hard I pressed). I got some Crayolas the next time there was a sale and they were decidedly better, but still not nearly as good as Prismacolor since they are so much harder.So yes, these are pricey but the color payoff is amazing and the leads are so soft and smooth they actually save you effort. These are an EXCELLENT choice if you're just getting into colored pencils and want to know if it's really worth it to you to go for professional materials.Oh, and hear you should avoid the version that has a toucan on the front. Everyone I know says that they are NOT as good as these.
