Comments about Prismacolor Turquoise Pencil Sets:

Even though these pencils are just what I need right now I got two 3B's and no 2B. For time reasons I can't send it back for an exchange but do keep that in mind before ordering. I noticed someone else had the same issue.

I ordered a sets and some plus individual pencils and I'm very disappointed. The complete set pencils cracked lead when sharpened. The lead is over the center and you can see the wood broke when you open the box for the first time. This pencils no has difference in grade between H to 9B so now I have 12 pencil made in Mexico with the same grade! when compared with the same grade ex. Mexican 8B vs 8B made in USA you can see a huge diference in tone.
In the same order I bought a 150 pencil color to gift my wife with it and now I'm very preocuped with the quality of this Prismacolor Premier made in Mexico.
In my case and if we take in consideration the taxes that I page to import, it is imposible to send back, so I lost money and I don't have the professional material that I requested.

I ordered two sets of the sketching pencils and they disappointed. Two pencils sported cracked lead and could barely be sharpened. One tin contained two 2H's and no 2B. Even the inserts are flimsy and the pencils ill-fitting.

A company that takes pride in its products would have never allowed these tins to reach a consumer.

I will go back to using Faber-Castells. They have yet to disappoint.

This pencil is smooth, and about medium compared to other companies. Creta Color is much softer, HB compares with 2B in Prismacolor Turquoise, and Stadtler is much harder for the same hardness rating. Prismacolor is about in the middle and goes on well, is reliable in creating clear values. It looks very good on all papers I have tried, Strathmore 400 Drawing paper, Mitiennes, and Canson White Drawing Paper.

I use the product for all types of drawing from children's portraits to lanscapes. They can be difficult to sharpen if you don't have a really good sharpener, but this does not detract from their use.

being sealed is the great thing about it.
