Prismacolors: Are they worth it?

-
Hello there, welcome back to another post on my blog! So I mentioned prismacolors on my last post, and I want to tell you more about these colored pencils. They are not the cheapest pencils, but however they are not the most expensive either. I got the pack of 72 pencils in a tin box, last year, and they are AMAZING.

Many artists say that they have got problems with prismacolor  leads breaking a lot. I never actually had their lead break, I use their sharpener (which was about 4$), and the lead actually never broke, so I am pretty satisfied with that. Also the colors are literally soooo pigmented, pencils are pretty easy to blend and layer. There is a pretty big range of colors, so that is also amazing too.

 Packs available (that I found online)  price per pack availability total colors
12 pack 
 19.99$* In stores and online 150 colors 
 24 pack 24.69$* -//- 
 48 pack about 40$* -//- 
 72 pack 50.00$* -//- 
 150 pack116.00$* -//- 

* prices may vary in different stores

And finally the answer to the question: Yes they are worth it, for now my experience has been great, and I am really satisfied with them. That would be all for this post, and see you next time! Byeee <3

Hello there, I'm glad to see you here, happy New 2021, and we shall hope that it'll be better than 2020. Now, today's theme is "Why I don't like art reposting pages?" If you have Instagram you've probably seen at least one art reposting page, and if you haven't you'll see what I'm talking about in a minute.                                       ::  What are art reposting pages? Art reposting/Art featuring has been really popular lately. Basically these are pages that download your artwork from your original account and repost it on theirs. They usually tag you to give you "credits", but sometimes they don't, and that is even worse.  :: How do they gain so much fame? If you've ever seen an art reposting page, you probably know that they usually have 80K+ followers. In my opinion they gain fame so fast, just because they are an amazing source of inspiration and daily content for everyone. They repost photos and videos, advertise

Prismacolor : The breaking leads?

Hello there, I am back.  And let me be honest with y'all, I have missed blogging A LOT. And from now on I will be posting on Sundays + in my free time. Soo every Sunday 2pm CET you can expect an art related post from me, enough chit-chatting let's go! Prismacolors have gotten worse throughout the time? I have watched some YouTube videos about this, and the fact that they changed over time. Soo I would say they have changed, but they haven't gotten worse if I am being honest. The formula got softer all at once so that was a huge upgrade, but else than that not really much (just design of the pencil). And they haven't gotten WORSE they've gotten BETTER, if you ask me, but yet that's just my opinion. The breaking leads? So I've heard a lot of people saying that their prismacolors' leads break A LOT. And let me tell you, I own a 72 pack for a year already, and I NEVER, NEVER EVER had a prismacolor lead break. So I was wondering : "Wait how the hell do t
