Prismacolor Col-Erase Erasable Colored Pencils, Adult Coloring, 12 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.

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.

I've had these for a few weeks now, and I must say these are very fun to sketch with. At first, I was put off by how hard the cores are, since I'm used to soft-cored colored pencils. I would color with ordinary prismacolors, but these are excellent for sketching (and inking, once you're done).

These colored pencils are a nice option if you want erasable color. The pigment goes down smoothly, and the built-in erasers actually work, which makes them useful for sketching, planning, or situations where you might want to adjust colors as you go. They’re not as richly pigmented as Prismacolor’s regular colored pencils, so if you’re looking for bold, vibrant layers, these won’t deliver quite the same intensity. Still, for drafting, light coloring, or adding erasable notes, they’re very handy. A practical set with good versatility—just not as strong in color depth as non-erasable Prismacolors.

Beautiful colors. Erasers do work. Note that these do not come presharpened.

My daughter loves these

I've always loved Prismacolor colored pencils, but these col-erase pencils have honestly changed everything. They are not as soft as the regular Prismacolor colored pencils, so it is significantly easier to take notes and sketch with them. These are basically color coded pencils; the erasers that come attached to the barrels are fantastic and erases lines beautifully (unless you pressed down really hard when making the lines). Cons: -Like any wooden pencil, if you drop them on the floor, the lead inside may break into little segments, and it will be near-useless when trying to sharpen since the lead pieces will just fall right out. -As stated above, if you go over the same line or press down firmly onto your surface with these, they will leave a noticeable mark when you try to erase them. -They don't seem blend too nicely on top of each other, if that matters to you. -Lastly, if you are working on a detailed piece or are rendering with the col-erase pencils and are not careful about where you are positioning your hand, your work will smudge! The lead is harder than regular colored pencils but softer than, say, an HB pencil. Your hand(s) will be colorful if you do not watch out. Pros (that I have not already mentioned): -Convenient for note-taking, sketching, coloring, doing layouts, etc.. I love to take these around everywhere since I don't like committing to colored ink pens. -Will not destroy regular pencil sharpeners. This information was so important to me. -THESE ARE SO CHEAP ON AMAZON. I wish I'd bought my first set on here earlier, but I bought each color individually at my local art store for more than 1USD a piece. I'm definitely returning to Amazon to repurchase these if I run out.

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.

Estoy contenta con la compra. Había leído algunos comentarios en los que se decía que no borraban bien. Yo por el contrario creo que borra bastante bien, obviamente deja algo de marca y depende de cómo hayas marcado de fuerte la línea borra mejor o peor. Me gusta la variedad de colores y por el momento no tengo queja de ellos, ni he tenido problema al afilarlos, ni se ha roto la punta de ninguno y me gusta el trazo que dejan. Para bocetar geniales.

The colors are really vibrant and it can color very thoroughly with no white spaces despite the texture of the paper. It can also be erased very easily too! I really enjoyed using these Col-Erase color pencils and they made drawing and coloring really fun!
