There is little question that Prismacolors are a quality pencil. I know many reviews have made reference to the leads not being straight and causing problems with sharpening. I can't say that I've had any issues with that, so far they have been easy to sharpen. Staying sharpened is another story. although they are beautiful vivid colors these pencils are very soft and waxy. Which does lead to dealing with a waxy bloom when blended with a blending pencil.
It also leads to not keeping a point very well..but I'm learning that's why they make the Verithin line. I'm also learning that for what I want to achieve using just one brand of pencil isn't going to work. I find the Prismacolors are beautiful for blending colors and the Polychromos are beautiful for shading and the Verithins are great for doing fine lines and really detailed work.
I should note that I copy all my pictures onto an art paper and keep the originals if I want to use them more than once.
Honestly though if I had to pick only one brand I'd pick the Polychromos, I find they're more versatile and I prefer how they feel on the paper and there's no bloom when you blend or shade with them.
All things considered from a beginners stand point I do like these pencils a lot and my best advice is buy the biggest set you can. It'll pay off in the end. Perhaps if I were talented I could blend 12 colors into every shade I want,, but I'm not talented !! I'm a beginner whose trying to enjoy coloring to relax,, if you're like me at all,, you'll be happier with the biggest set you can get.
I saw many videos on YouTube from people who had been coloring and they had done some amazing work but mine didn't look as good. The common thing among most of those finished pieces of work in the videos was that they used Prismacolor Premier colored pencils. I saw many reviews touting the benefits of these pencils but the slightly high price scared me off. I debated buying these or getting a different brand. I shopped around looking for a good deal and saw that the prices were much higher in store so I bought them here.
I received them about 2 weeks ago and have used them a lot and I am very happy with them. I love the metal storage container they come in. The pencils themselves are amazing! I love that I can apply gentle pressure and I get really good color and coverage for my coloring pages. The colors are so brilliant and vibrant. This set of 48 contains a wide assortment of colors which are suitable for what I am doing with them. I also like that the pencils themselves can be purchased as open stock in case one gets used up (I haven't used any of them up yet) and additional colors are available.
Overall, I am glad I went with these. They are a tad pricier than other brands, but they are really worth it.

Va segnalata però la fragilità della mina: trattatele bene, se vi cadono vi potete trovare la mina rotta e perdere così centimetri di matita quando andate a fare la punta!!
Altro limite grande è che non si trovano singole sfuse, quando finiranno i colori che uso di più toccherà sostituirli con altre marche oppure prendere un’altro set. Detto ciò, la qualità è così alta che nonostante questi limiti do lo stesso 5 stelle.
