Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, Soft Core, Botanical Garden Set, 12 Count

The Prismacolor Premier 150-color set is truly a dream for anyone who loves drawing or coloring. The pencils are incredibly smooth and blend beautifully, allowing for rich layering and seamless gradients. The coverage is vibrant even with light pressure, and the colors build up easily without leaving waxy residue. What I love most is the durability—these pencils rarely break while sharpening and hold their point well during detailed work. There's no strong odor, and the overall quality feels very professional. It's an amazing set whether you're doing adult coloring books, sketching, or more advanced artwork.

Generally speaking there may be a learning curve to using these to their full potential, certainly not the best to share with my young son but I love them for myself. These have a softer core which means you wouldn't use them the same way you would a regular colored pencil, you'd be more gentle. For me though Prismacolor is a no-brainer. They're a high quality product that comes in a nice set and have a wonderful assortment of colors.
