Great sets. I could be very happy with just the Derwent range of pencils, but even happier with Polychromos and Prisma and Caran d'Arch ranges thrown in as well. Budget pencils can be fun, but the more expensive ones can be a joy. As I watched I was using Derwent Procolour, Coloursoft and Artist pencils to colour a floral picture in Colouring Heaven's Botanics Collection. They love that paper. It's good to have favourites. We get very familiar with the colours and what we can achieve with them. But I'm still loving my small set challenges. 18 Pablos started me off on my Pablo journey. I did a double page spread in Secret Garden with those. I often use 36 pencil sets and since I was given them on my birthday at the start of May, I'm loving the 12 set of Blackwing pencils. Just 12, and 1 is silver! But I can make so many different shades and tones with them. I just add in a white from somewhere else. Plus I have to loan in any skin tones I need. But still, awesome pencils. Great quality. I wish they made a 36 set.

I love the Pablos, I had a good experience with them in a Rita Berman book, they laid down so smooth, almost like ink! Had to keep a really sharp point to get the best out of them. I coveted them a long time, and they're up there with the Polys for me. Love your manner and such informative narration, thank you!

Pablos are my favorite. I'm so glad they were mentioned.

If you can't find good use of the prisma neons, let me tell you they are beautiful in a Sunset scene mixed with other colors. Also, try using them as an under painting on bright red and orange flowers, just go lightly. But Mixing them into a dusky sunset is my favorite. Loved seeing your favorite list Kori. Tfs

Hi Kori. I’ve been coloring for a year and I found you fairly early in my journey. You gave me the confidence to color hair. That flick technique is brilliant! I can’t imagine coloring hair any other way. I love your videos. You enable me quite frequently. I bought the procolour recently because of you and I absolutely LOVE them for hair! So far I’ve done a blond and a green hair color with them but I’m excited to use them more. Thank you for all your hard work! I love your channel you have such positive vibes 🌟

[grahamekellermeier]

Like the prismacolor, Derwent lightfast, colour soft, drawing, artist pencils also use Fabercastel polycromos Carand'Ache luminous all great to use.

[tinniaphillips]

Thanks for sharing your top 5 with us. 😊 I would rather spend more than try to use the cheaper ones and struggle with what kind of look i am after. 😊

And here’s me, a Crayola fan 🥰
But Derwent has my heart (and nose, I love their smell) (DDP, Graphitints and Inktense)

[kraznia]

I love the neons and wish they would come out with a full neon set. It would be nice to keep them separate. The same goes for metallic. I would love to see a complete metallic line as a separate line. I love my old copper pencil. The new bronze just isn't the same. The old copper must have had actual copper in it. When I pulled it out after years of storage, it was tarnished. Sharpened it, and the copper color underneath was still intact, so, patina over time is actually possible. Wish I had purchased more back then.

[diamondlee]

Holy Wow, the pages you showed that you colored are just AMAZING!!!!

[catrena]

Kori your coloring is absolutely gorgeous. I believe you could make any pencil wonderful. I have all these pencils and the higher end pencils. I love all my pencils. Thank you for sharing. I truly enjoy your channel. Happy coloring!

[suzyhayden]

I contacted Blick about a week ago about when they may have the new Inktense in the open stock.. was told they are thinking by the end of this month or sometime in June.. so will be checking back....love the Inktense.. and enjoy coloring on fabric with them..

[valerieb]

Hi Kori! Lovely sets of pencils. I have Prismas and enjoy them So much. Your coloring makes all these sets look awesome!! 🙋

[mememex-tv]

I love Prismacolor too, i got them here in México and as you said, no problems with'em, i have bought 4 sets, they are perfect buying in oficial Places.

[kraznia]

I have not tried the Derwent Pro Color yet, but their Studio line is very nice for detailed drawing and work *very* well on black paper. My set is probably 20 years old, but I can't imagine the formula has changed all that much.

[blacktiger]

My very first set was the 150 Prismas and I loved them! But then I didn't use them for awhile and when i opened my case they were all cracked! Every single one~and from top to bottom, on both sides of each pencil! I know adore my Polychromos, Pablos, and Holbeins. My Prismas just sit~I may give them to my local charity art store. Awesome video! 😁

[kitsala]

Just found you, loved your video, agree on your top 5, especially $1. Please do a tutorial soon.

1:09 Funnily enough, several of the open stock Prismacolors I ordered from Blick -- my first and only order with them -- are the only Prismacolors that were scratchy and didn't lay down color nearly as well as those I bought locally. They're literally the *only* ones I've had trouble with. Not all the pencils I ordered from Blick, which totaled 63 as I was finishing out my set to finally have all 150 minus the metallics and neons that I won't use, but several were problematic. Also, I'd heard great things about Blick's "careful shipping" so I specifically ordered a regular-size color wheel so it wouldn't arrive bent as can happen with Amazon ... and they shoved it in a box that was too narrow, so one side was BENT UPWARDS. The pencils, btw, were all just in a plastic bag, no real protection other than the bubble wrap they had on top but nothing to prevent them from banging against each other; one single pencil was included in a separate box that originally had a dozen pencils (guess it was the last one), so the lead was broken and kind of mangled. So much for Blick's famous "careful shipping."

I love inktense and graphitint. I can't wait to get the new 28 set.

[sonyaoart]

Polychromos are my favourites, then it’s Luminance, Derwent Drawing, Procolour, and probably Inktense with an honourable mention for Chromaflow. I’d love to like my budget pencils more, but I don’t reach for them that often.
