Description
RIP Prismacolor pencils....serious love/hate relationship with the brand. May try Derwent next to see what kind of a difference there is...this is a piece for drawings class...Related content

This looks like a really interesting piece to draw. I love occasionally getting stuck into something which is just purely two-tone, means you really have to focus on getting the lines right.

Wonderful job!
If you are curious about trying another brand of pencils I strongly suggest
faber castell polychromos colored pencils.

=O You will be the first person I know to say you don't like Prismacolors - I've been wanting to try them since a lot of people keep mentioning them but I myself, currently have a set of Derwents and I can say that they are good (I just don't use them because I'm no good with pencils haha)

After posting that, I learned a neat trick and now don't hate them as much...I put a pencil in the microwave for 5 seconds, then immediately put it in the freezer for 5 minutes, then, when I sharpen it, I hold it at the very end of the pencil, as far away from the sharpener as possible...haven't had one break since...really love that you like Derwents! Makes me want to try them even more...I'd love to see you create a few pencil pieces!!!

Nice! I'll keep that in mind...so the issue you had with the prismas were breakage mainly?Β
I'm thinking about maybe doing another one sometime soon ^_^ don't want them to go to wasteΒ

Yes, but I believe I may have remedied the breakage issue and if it continues to work, then my opinion of Prismas will be much more positive!

Looks nice! I don't know prismacolor pencils but I used Derwent pencils! I liked them! Good work!
Have a nice day!
