The way she speaks is so therapeutic. It's strange but really warm.
I strangely don't have an art block anymore.

@blueguitar77 Artstix are made of the same ingredients as the Prismacolor Colored Pencils. They are not chalky, they don't create dust, and do not smudge like pastel. They are a great drawing pencil if you want to make broad strokes, cover a lot of area or make large format drawings.

@gladis518 Just to clarify - that is how quickly they leave our warehouse. It would then be a couple of days depending on the shipping carrier. Hope that makes sense.

@tl828 The Prismacolor thick core, ArtStix and Verithins are all professional quality light-resistant pencils. Currently there is no industry standard to compare one company's lightfast rating with another's. And as with all pencils, each color/pigment has its own lightfastness. So keep this in mind when making your selections.

I love these pencils and dickblick's prices are just wonderful. but are the thick core, art stix, and verithins lightfast?

A very helpful video to watch when deciding on which of the three to choose. Thank you!

@gladis518 Hi - thanks for your question. If you purchase online the order would be shipped to your house or whatever address you indicate. Blick stores also carry the Prismacolor products, so you could purchase pencils there if you have one close by.

@hannahtwentyify The Premier and Scholar pencils are soft and vibrant and great to work with. The Scholar are slightly less expensive but come in limited colors and only in sets - so if you run out of a certain color you don't have the option to replace just that color. The Premier pencils come in sets as well as individual colors which allow you to buy individual colors at a time. The Verithin on the other hand have a harder consistency so they are good for certain techniques and fine lines.

@CentralStation300 Any of these Prismacolored pencils will work for Anime.

I finally took down my Prismacolor Art Stix after years of collecting dust on my shelf. I immediately fell in (art supply) love ❤️ and was excited to order the largest set only to discover that they've been discontinued Is there a dupe for Will they be brought back????

[aaronalvarado]

Can Verithins be used the same as the premier? As in can they blend like together with each other the same way that the soft core premiers do? Or are the Verithins mainly used as outlining and etc?

[VictoriaBatiz]

when you use different colored paper, what type of paper is it?

[grandangodang]

@CentralStation300 you should have a well-rounded set of colors no matter what style you're drawing in. they definitely have vibrant colors in their sets, if that's what you're into.

do the art stix come off on your hands like pastels

[PrincessCadence]

well i suggest you start with the scholar when your just learning and then when you get a lil more experianced you can use the premier ... i like to use them with the art stix and the khoi nor woodless colored pencils. Verithin are great for fine details like facial features and such.. un less you ink yours first.. then its a different thing. but all of these are great work light to dark work and layering
my only gripe is that they break so damm easy!!
