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

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!

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 got these because my old pencils were… old. I am trying to learn how to draw realistic facial features as my usual art-style is in cartoons or tattoo-style drawings. They draw so smoothly! I’m still playing around with them and learning a bit, but these are so much better than my cheap-o “artist” pencils from Hobby Lobby!

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.

I got a full set but it was missing a pencil in the lineup. Not sure why but from what I understand this is something Prisma does with all their sketch sets? At any rate the pencils you have are pretty nice, and you get most of what you need to produce good work. The case is nice and sturdy and I would think this would be good for the beginner, art student etc.

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.

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.

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!

I ordered 2 of these sets. The first one came with no issues. My daughter really liked them so I gave her mine and ordered a new set, which arrived with a broken pencil. After looking at other reviews, I do see that I’m not the only one that had this experience.
