Prismacolor Col-Erase Erasable Colored Pencil, 12-Count, Assorted Colors (20516)

Product Information

The Col-Erase formula allows for easy erasing and correcting mistakes, ensuring that adult coloring enthusiasts can achieve the desired level of perfection in their artwork. In today’s guide we are going to review all the best erasable colored pencils that exist in the market. I LOVE the col-erase pencils for UNDER drawings and detail work. They are a harder/firmer and less pigmented colored pencil, which is why they are perfect for detail work vs. the Premier pencils. Since they are erasable and less pigmented they are perfect for under sketches for anatomical positions, portraits, and general composition.

These colored pencils also sharpen well, but may require more effort compared to the Col-Erase pencils. The thin lead of these pencils makes them suitable for fine details, allowing adult colorists to add intricate patterns and textures to their artwork. The Col-Erase Pencils are known for their blendability. Colors can be easily blended together to create smooth gradients and transitions. The Scholar Pencils also blend well. The creamy leads allow for smooth and seamless color blending, making it effortless to achieve various effects.They have a hard, smooth lead that’s great for precise detail work and the soft shading you’d normally only get with graphite. They come (came?) in a limited but workable range of colors, and don’t have the waxy feel of most colored pencils, which means they layer nicely with other media and blend seamlessly with ink, watercolor, and gouache. I want to be totally fair to these pencils and just say this – even the company who makes them does not tout them as pencils that you can create beautiful colored pencil art with. I do like working in graphite, but I do prefer color. Now, I know I will enjoy sketching in my sketchbook so much more by using color. For those who like to see a more apples-to-apples comparison, here’s how each of the erasable colored pencils we reviewed differ from one another: Name

The leads are designed to withstand pressure and resist breaking, making them ideal for heavy-handed users or those who apply significant pressure while coloring or sketching. These pencils are highly recommended for artists, professionals, and anyone seeking reliable and long-lasting colored pencils. The pencil leads of Prismacolor Scholar Colored Pencils are also durable and break-resistant, although not as strong as the Col-Erase series. Now that I have researched them and read “from the horse’s mouth” (Prismacolor) that they are intended for design and illustration, I have done a “180” and really do like the Prismacolor Col-Erase Pencil Set pencils. These are pencils that not only can put down incredibly bright and vivid strokes on a piece of paper, but unlike some of the top-rated colored pencils we recently reviewed, these colored pencils will also be able to lift from the paper as well – like the Tombo Irojiten’s.The Prismacolor Scholar Colored Pencils are specifically designed for adult coloring, offering a comfortable and ergonomic grip that allows for long periods of use without causing discomfort. The pencils are also durable and break-resistant, ensuring that they will last for a long time. The sharpening and point retention of these pencils are excellent, allowing for precise and sharp lines.
