Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The black widow line is by far my favorite as of now and will recommend them to anyone- beginner to expert. Shading is probably the best given the smoothness of the pencils when you layer it. Bw applies great on all paper qualities so far. No colour r...  Read More

They are smooth, sharpen well, & the colors are so good! They are buttery, smooth and when layering (even with my other pencils which is another bonus) so far they are simpy perfect! The pencils have a nice soft but firm feeling to them. I’m happy...  Read More

I believe these are that perfect middle we strive for. Thank you for a great, affordable product. The names of them are hysterical.

Whoever said these are soft like prisma premier are mistaken. They blend well with each other and with white and colorless prismacolor. They’re smooth and blend flawlessly.

Tin is sturdy and slim for easy storage. The tin packaging is nice. The tins are compact and great for storage.



Cons

I know many are raving about these pencils, they look *, the color names (mosrly) are entertaining but are they really worth the cost? The breakage in these is awful. When you pay a premium for pencils you expect them to be not defective.

I now own all 6 sets and love them all and there is zero repeat colors across the 6sets


The tin packaging is nice if you like to keep them in the tins

Competitiveness


I have been a loyal prismacolor user for some time but these pencils are literally the best of both worlds in terms of wax base...  Read More


I would pit these against prismacolors any day of the week they’re smooth and blend flawlessly


These fall in between arteza black widows and prisma level of softness and layering ability


These are soft but different in a good waynot taking away from anyones comparison but they just are not as creamy
