Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have a complete set of Prismacolor Premier colored pencils (150 set), but I find this set of Verithin indispensable for creating detailed art. The 36 set offers a great range of colors, and because of the transparent nature of the colors, you can layer colors to create texture. I like this set so much that I am actually using them more than my huge set of Premier pencils. The leads are thin & hard, and can go a long time without sharpening. So I find this to be a perfect set for traveling or sketching outdoors. There are really no other colored pencils I've tried that can do exactly what these do. When you buy this you should also buy a Prismacolor blender pencil, or odorless mineral spirit. Those will make your drawings even more vibrant. I have to say these pencils re-ignited my love for drawing. I use these with Sakura Micron Pigma drawing pens and Moleskine notebook.
