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

Mostly it was fine but the rock of a kneadable eraser was a disappointment.

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.

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!

Way overpriced for the crap they give you. Eraser was stiff as a board and made of cheap material. The pencils break and dull almost instantly, not a good set from what supposedly is the best pencils you can buy. Not good.

While I sometimes prefer to draw with a mechanical pencil, this set has become essential. The pencils are super high quality and pigmented, the eraser doesn’t disappear after a few uses, and the kneading dough is top tier amazing. 10/10 recommend!

I decided to buy these pencils along with a new sketchbook I bought (Strathmore brand) and these are honestly very nice. I don’t often use graphite pencils like this and often opt for using regular mechanical pencils you use for non-art purposes. These are so much better feeling, though. I definitely recommend it! The erasers are extremely good too! 10/10 from me

Good for beginners at a beginners price. Nice assortment of blacks and hardnesses. The full graphites are coated so you dont get it all over your hands. Good sharpener. Good erasers. Emery works well. The tin keeps it all tidy and easily fits in a book bag or backpack. Hang-ups: I would have been happier without the water soluables and happier with one more full graphite in 2B or 9B and a regular HB and 4B, but thats just after learning what the set can do for me. Overall good beginner set for graphite drawings at a reasonable price.

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.

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.

Pencils are fine, Im no fine artist, just a hobbyist, but I know when something is bad & the kneaded eraser that comes with this set is grossly dry. I was incapable of stretching it even a little. The picture shows a cheap Artists Loft brand kneaded eraser from Michaels on the right, & the left one is the one that came in the Prismacolor set. It just breaks & separates when you try to mold it in any way. Apparently this is an ongoing problem that has yet to be addressed.
