Are you TEAM PRISMACOLOR or TEAM ARRTX?

[CaityRaindrop]

A full set (120) of prismas are £200 where I live
A 126 set of artxx is £60, the choice is made for me through simply what I can afford (I'm not buying more sets rn as I have 3 to go through tho, but when I finish one I'm looking to try the artxx and/or kalour). Heck a full set of polychromos with improved light fastness is cheaper than prismas in my region

[CansuBilal]

I never regretted buying Prismacolors. Since it's summer vacation, I have more time to draw now. I could barely draw because of college 💀😣😑

[RareMusicSpam]

Arrtx are amazing pencils, they work very similarly but their only “issue” is that they’re not as opaque and can’t handle as many layers. There’s a big price difference so that’s why

[emisaurushex]

I just wish Arrtx sold the pencils individually so I could refill the ones I’m low on without buying a whole new pack 😅

[ArtistYamer]

I got a 48 set of Prismacolor pencils from my sculpture teacher this year, and i absolutely love them.

[Fantastic_Farben]

We bought Arrtx because of a video you did recently about them! It was a great purchase, thank you for showing them off, we might not have known about them otherwise!

[ArtandDiamondsWithEskies]

Thank you so much I have been debating as to whether or not to even spend the amount of money it costs are in the US to get the Artxx. I enjoy my Prismas although I tend to be more into my castle arts and indra creatives for coloring, but this was the final answer that I needed as to whether or not to spend the money on another set. Thank you Sarah.😊

[boredgrass]

A lot can be improved by investing time and a bit of money in good sharpeners! I started with Prisma colours about a year ago and breakage is no issue. Indeed I wonder whether they changed the recipe.

[Loaflie]

Thank you so much! I had no idea Arrtx existed, but I’m glad to have known now!

[KatieTheKraken]

Thanks for the review! I've wanted the 72 set of Prismacolor Premier for the last couple of years but I hoard the 48 I bought a few months ago like a dragon lol. I find a great alternative to the premiers are the scholar set of 60. The color range is great, they're decently soft, and blend really well. I have both the original set before they were bought out and the new set.

[Chizukeki]

Can you make a pastel color comparison?

[sarahrussell]

So Arrtx have the same colours, the same blendability, they don’t break or leave a horrible dusty mess on your page, but Prismacolor still wins? Was this video sponsored or something?

[na_miata_lover]

Iv never had a prismacolor break on me so I'm sticking to prismacolor

[mandybarlow]

I can’t tolerate the terrible Prismacolor quality. Derwent Coloursoft are a beautiful, beautiful soft pencil. Unique colours and brilliant blending—fantastic mix with the fabulous Derwent Drawing pencil range too. Have you tried them? I’ve dropped many times and surprised they don’t break. Prisma seem to break if you even breathe near them.

[donnahelzer]

I LOVE PRISMA! I have tried other brands and nothing seems close. I might try these just for random coloring. Save special things for.PRISMAS! 💜

[renjiai]

Prismas drive me insane with how much they break on me. I'm whittling away a whole pencil when I try to sharpen them. Can't be great at blending if the lead keeps breaking off. I'll have to give the Arrtx a try.

[blackbat]

The lightfastness is what i really look for in coloured pencils. My caran d'ache luminance cannot be beaten!

[Destinee]

I like the vibrancy of the prismacolors better, the artxx are still a great choice though

[angellove]

Have you tried Cretacolor Megacolors? They are pretty close to prisma and luminance in my opinion, the only drawback could be the core size...they are jumbo and don't get into smaller areas as easy and are not as good for fine details, but for vibrancy and softness of laydown, they are great!
