Prismacolor Premier Graphite Drawing Pencils with Erasers & Sharpeners, 18-Piece Set

If you or someone in your life is serious about drawing, but you dont want to go broke getting supplies this is the kit to get. It would make a wonderful gift. The quality of artwork is definitely effected by the quality of the art supplies. With this kit you can create professional quality artwork.

So I sketch with these pencils and I go in with a charcoal at the end. I’m happy with the pencil quality and despite being graphite the drawing isn’t shiny! I’m sure these are on par with almost any graphite set. The erasers (a block and a kneadable) work great. The pencils sharpen well.

While Prismacolor isn’t known for its graphite pencils, this is a serviceable set in a nice tin that has almost everything you need, minus perhaps a tortillon or two. Not the greatest quality and the leads tend to be off center with the wood pencils, but the hardnesses seem accurate and the addition of the aquarelle pencils was a nice surprise. Overall a good set for on the go drawing and sketching.

Im not joking when I say these are the best pencils I have used. I have tried Faber Castell pencils before, and I cant say Im a fan. However, the moment I tested these bad boys out, I was in love. The lead lays down so smoothly! I also love the different varieties of pencils you get in this set, including the water soluable graphite pencils. I didnt even know water soluable graphite pencils even existed! Awesome pencil set, and its not even too expensive!

Great range of drawing pencils - a better range than most from 8B to 6H. And a variety of drawing tools. All came in the tin which is great, too.

This was a gift and our little artist loved these. Thank you.

The eraser somehow burned through the plastic and left a whole and a damaged magic rub eraser. I tested out the water soluble graphite and I want to do some more practice with them but I think they’re great. The other doodle is with the woodless graphite.

This set is really good for beginners who’s looking for a set that fits their needs. The range of the graphite pencils acceptable for beginners/students. I’ve never tried any water soluble and woodless graphite before so I don’t have any reference from other brands. Overall, this pack is pretty good if you’re just looking for a set that has the essentials for graphite drawings. The price is pretty acceptable even for students that doesn’t have a lot of money.

Have not had a chance to use these pencils but the 2H was not in the kit. Instead, there were 2 4H pencils. The container and description clearly say there is a 2H. This is my first artist pencil kit and I would like to have the variety of pencils that that were advertised.

I have bought this before, so I wasnt disappointed.
