Good for a beginner artist
I really like it! A pencil with an ergonomic design, a textured grip can help improve control, making it easier to draw for long periods without hand fatigue.

High-quality graphite pencils with great versatil
I've been using the Prismacolor Turquoise Graphite Pencils for sketching and shading, and they deliver incredibly smooth, consistent lines. The range of hardness options is perfect for both detailed work and softer shading. The pencils are well-balanced, don’t break easily, and last a long time. Great value for the price, especially for art students and professionals al...

Prismacolor pencils
These graphite pencils are very blend-able and pigmented, they sharpen well and are very durable and shade well on paper. I would recommend these pencils to anyone who wants a good drawing pencil.

Won't use any other brand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my turquoise graphite pencils for years and utterly love them! Smooth laydown of graphite, the leads don't break, and a wide range of hard and soft levels make these my go-to for drawing and sketching.

Smooth, precise and lasting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my set of prismacolor premier turquoise graphite
pencils for about 4 years now. They have all lasted beautifully
through my highschool career and have even helped me get
into some art exhibitions. I love the quality of all my prismas!

Great Pencils for Sketching and Drawing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these pencils for a year or so and they are fantastic pencils for what I do in my spare time(sketching and drawing). I would definitely recommend these for anyone who draws and sketches for fun. I’m sure they would be great for artists as well!

Love these pencils!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought myself a huge set of prisma colored pencils for christmas, including this one. I have to say these are my absolute favorite colored pencils! There is such good saturation. I am definitely a hard colorer, I don’t like any white or paper shining through and these pencils get the job done! I like to use them in c...

Great Shades
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a few sets a while for my drawings with graphite pencils. I had previously bought Prismacolor colored pencils and I wasn't a huge fan of them, but these graphite pencils were really high quality.

Nice pigment
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this because I ran out of a similar color in a set by a different brand…this came out WAY better than expected! It was totally better than the other brand and blended smoothly

Great for sketching
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to sketch manga characters in my free time. I used a basic #2 pencil before discovering this pencil kit. It has made a huge difference in my sketching and I refuse to return using a #2 pencil. I really like that the pencils have different lead grades allowing me to include more detail in my drawings. It really d...

They're fine but I was in a hurry and I was disappointed that they were not sharpened.

Prismacolor Drawing Pencils
Thanks for asking about my recent purchases for this fine product. My preferences for drawing leads are in the extra-soft ranges and is not "mainstream" packaging. This is an art supply item that is NOT the every-day stocked item and I am glad to have STAPLES do the grunt work. Ha!
