Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, Manga Colors, 23 Count

luse Faber-Castell, Prismacolor, Derwent and Blick colored pencils. I have no hesitation in declaring that I prefer the Crayola pencils over the Derwent /Prismacolor pencils because 1) Crayola pencils dont "drop powder" during use, and, 2) I can sharpen them easily and get the "blunt" out of the lead without losing the lead itself. The pigment is strong, the lay down is even, and I can exert an enormous amount of color in one section before I experience waxing. The cost of these pencils, and their quality, is outstanding. I wish Crayola Company would go toe-to-toe with the big guys in the colored pencil field and create a collection of 150 different pencils at a cost comperable to their 50 ct collection; I think they could make an enormous dent in the profits of companies like Prismacolor, Derwent, etc. You wont regret getting these pencils, I guarantee you.
