I would say, yes...ABSOLUTELY. Especially if you're taking an art class.
I know it's tempting to skimp out of you're just taking an art elective for the credits, but do NOT do it. My professor specifically forbade us from using Crayola or any other cheap pencils. He said to get Prismacolor or Faber Castell and at first I had no idea why. I just sucked it up, used a 50% off coupon at Michael's and got a small tin of pencils.
Fast forward a few years and I finally use up the last of my pencils and try to save some money with super cheap pencils from the dollar store. It only took one attempt at coloring to see the light (and it was just that...an attempt because the color payoff was atrocious no matter how hard I pressed). I got some Crayolas the next time there was a sale and they were decidedly better, but still not nearly as good as Prismacolor since they are so much harder.
So yes, these are pricey but the color payoff is amazing and the leads are so soft and smooth they actually save you effort. These are an EXCELLENT choice if you're just getting into colored pencils and want to know if it's really worth it to you to go for professional materials.
Oh, and hear you should avoid the version that has a toucan on the front. Everyone I know says that they are NOT as good as these.
Rich colors, smooth laydown, blends nicely, a pleasure to use. Sharpen nicely, too. No breaking cores noted.
I bought them looking for the "hard" core for detail work. After all, the 60 colors in this set are more desirable than only 36 colors of the Verithins for detail. They do detail nicely but are softer than Verithins...the tip eventually wears down and needs sharpening to continue more sharp detail work. The Prismacolor guide described them as "hard".
I make a color sheet and test each pencil, then color a little for the quickie test-drive-around-the-block, so to speak. Wow! I kept being inspired to
do one more, and then another. Used these pencil for 4 nights straight enjoying every moment with them. I have 132 Prismacolor Premiers and the full set of Faber Castell Polychromos and 72 Derwent Coloursoft and Inktense.....so I've played with great pencils before.
I suppose they are not colorfast....well, I am doing coloring, not fine art to sell. The professional will have a different opinion, I'm sure.
Packaging left a little to be desired in that it was not sufficient to protect the pencils. Case had partially popped open, several pencils escaped and a few had broken tips. Just a plain cardboard box, such as the one used for Verithins would keep overhead cost low and still protect the pencils.
There must be plenty of people with art backgrounds that will disagree with me....but I am impressed and highly recommend them to ANYBODY.
For the people who have problems with breaking leads......heat will soften up the wax base an perhaps cause a little expansion. The core will stick back together. People have suggested leaving them in the sun, using a hair dryer, putting them into a cooling oven etc. Only bad story came from someone who put the into a microwave and one of them burst.
