I was so young when I started to color that I cannot tell when was the first time I took a coloring pencil in my hand and I’m close to my seventies today. Now, as far as I remember, the Prismacolor brand have always been my number one favorite of all. And the Premier pencils, well, are a dream. I’ m so happy and confident every time I’m using them. The colors are so rich and the cores are so soft that they blend like no other. But there is also a negative point about that fact. The core is so soft that if you are one who generally put pressure on the pencil to get its darker tone right away, the pencils won’t last. I’m not the kind that will put too much pressure on her pencils, nonetheless, I also often use the second version of them : the Scholars 60 pencils box. And here is what I already said in a review about the Scholars :
‘’ I’m a senior lady who love coloring. I have a collection of about 30 books and enjoy a pencil that gives me possibility to create a large variation of tones. So I’m using a lot of pencils and I do have many different sets from many different manufacturers. Although the Premier are the first one on the list of the best pencils of all, these Scholars are the ones that I do prefer because they still blend easily with the 5 different colors that I tried so far, they are for most of them as beautiful than the Premier, they last longer and the pricing is more affordable... ‘’
This said, there’s another important plus point to mention about the Prismacolor brand, Premier and Scholars. Decades ago, every crafting and art stores were offering to buy these pencils one pencil at the time and they were offering almost every color. And if you search around you, even today you still can find some of those stores that are still selling them this way. So, you can easily replace one or two or more color pencils without having to buy a new box.
Now, let’s talk about sharpeners and soft core pencils. First, I don’t care about sharpeners, I usually buy the cheapest ones on the market. The last one I got is coming from a One dollar Store, I’m using it for years and it still working perfectly with all the pencil brands that I have, including my Raffine to name only this other one. Why ?... Well, the truth is that it doesn't matter the brand of the soft core pencils you intending to buy or using, if you hit or drop them, the core is broken. And this is mostly the one reason why they seems to break doesn't matter the sharpener you use. My aunt was a professional painter and she’s the one who educated me about it. I was very young when I learned that fact and it was pissing me off every time I dropped one, so I made it a habit to use a cup or a small pot to place them in while coloring so they don’t roll down the table, on the floor. If you receive a box that contains several pencils with broken cores, there’s a pretty good chance that the box has been severely hit or dropped and if that had happened to me, I would have asked for a box replacement. That simple.
It is the reason why I take such a good care of my pencils. I don’t share them either. I always keep extra boxes for the kids, I provide some jars and they are also educated about that fact.
Prismacolor Premier are expensive pencils, but coloring with them is always such a marvelous experience. Go for it, you won’t regret your purchase. But they are true soft cores. Keep that in mind.

Cons. No grey colours at all. Two leads were broken when tin was opened PC 930 and pC 1027 that who’s lead just kept on breaking when trying to sharpen, until the pencil was little more than three quarter the size the other new ones were.
Point #1 - The pigment in these pencils are amazing !!
These are not your dollar store variety pencils. I used to do black and white pencil drawings in the past and was always hesitant to go color because of my experiences with cheap pencils. While the price on these pencils initially took me back I can see now they are worth every penny. The colors explode off of the paper and the finished drawings are bright and vibrant.
Point #2 - The colors can be blended!!
If there is a color you want and it is not in the box or if you are looking to smoothly transition from one color to the next this is doable by simply blending the colors. Blending can be achieved by layering the colors and then blending them together using a colorless blender. The best colorless blender I have used is right here PRISMACOLOR PREMIER Pencil Blender, Colorless Blender № PC1077, 2-Carded, Colourless (962) I have tried several different ones and this one works for me the best.
Point # 3 - These are wax based and they are soft so be careful !!
The core of these pencils are wax based and are also soft. Running your finger across one will almost make you think more of a crayon than a pencil. They are also easily cracked inside the casing if you drop them, especially on a hard surfaced floor. When this happens the tips tend to fall off when you sharpen them. So handle with some TLC and you will be fine.
Point # 4 - These pencils do not hold a sharp tip for long !!
This goes back to point #3, while you can sharpen these to a needle point tip it will not stay that way for long. The soft wax core will erode to a round top as you use it. This is not to say they will wear out quickly as I have found that these pencils do last a long time. If you need a needle tip on the pencil for ultra fine detail then these are the pencils I recommend PRISMACOLOR VERITHIN Pencil, Artist Quality Hard Thin Lead Pencils, Box of 36, Assorted Colours (2428)
Point #5 - You will go through some pencils faster than others !!
As seen in my pictures you will see some pencils that are far more worn down than others. This is simply because certain colors will be in more demand. If you picture includes lots of skies or waters then it is only reasonable that your blues will disappear faster than your oranges. It helps to have a store where you can buy single pencils to replace the ones you go through the most.
Overall conclusion !!
I love these pencils, it has reignited my interest in drawing. They are amazing quality and are able to produce amazing work. These pencils in the right hands would be capable of creating mind blowing pieces of art. Just keep in mind some of the advice above and I am sure you will love these pencils. I am sure there is a lot more I could say but if I think of anything else I will add to this review and feel free to ask questions and I will respond or update this review.

Love the pencils, soft creamy and blend well just as I was hoping I’m no expert but I seem to get a better finish with these pencils and easy to use. Price is good if you can save for the large set just over a pound a pencil which compares well to other well known brands. Highly recommend.
