5.0 out of 5 stars Great value - no need to buy the premium range

K.C. · 5 February 2021

It was a choice between these or the premium range, and I honestly won't bother with the premium range again. The quality is excellent, these pencils blends beautifully, the colours are strong and clear, and they're lovely to use. Great value for money.

4.0 out of 5 stars fast delivery, rich palette of colors (60), some minor issues

Y. · 29 October 2018

Those pencils were delivered to me very quickly, which is great!Overall, I would say that those pencils are very soft and pleasant to draw with. The color palette is rich and the price is fine, comparing to prismacolor premier pencils. I haven't tried the premier ones, but I'm guessing they are similar quality, but the packaging and richness of the pigment are different.But I would like to say, that two pensils don't match with the color on the paper. I don't blame the seller for that issue, but I'm also surprised that dark "violet" color looks very pale. Or that "permanent green" turned out to be very different.If you would like a cheap alternative to prismacolor premier pencils then it could be an option for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars great quality and suitable for colour blind people!

I struggle to find pencils for my 12yr old as he is colour blind. These are really good quality and have the colour name printed on the pencil so he doesn't have to keep asking for help. Marketing tip - would be helpful if you included the words 'colour blind' in the search options!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pros outweigh cons for me

Excellent soft application for shading really love these pencils however the wood casing doesn't seem that great the lead seems to break if I awas ply to much pressure and as other views stated the lead often falls out after sharpening. However and this is a big however these are amazing value and despite a few malfunctions I do not regret buying them

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for the price

e. · 22 February 2019

After hearing all the amazing reviews about Prismacolor, I bought some of the Premiers. I was so impressed I was all set to pay £80 for the 132 pack, but then I spotted these Scholars. I researched and many people said they couldn't tell the difference, so I thought for £30 instead of £80, worth a try. These are slightly less quality than the Premier in coverage, but it is not overly noticeable. If you want the best pencils in the world, buy the Premier, but if you want a very very good pencil for a lot less money, these are the pencil for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful bendable pencil

Beautiful pencils... A budget version of the prismacolour premiers but they still colour and blend beautifully... Love using these as an everyday pencil xx

3.0 out of 5 stars Amazing but broken

C. · 8 February 2025

I absolutely love these pencils, however the graphite in all the pencils are broken and I've had to sharpen them constantly. This has resulted in a lot of wastage and I'm heartbroken.

Good pencil set

I like them had these color pencils before not first time buying great pencils to color with I find but the whole problem is the price I just find there expensive when there not on sale. I also like the colors as well and these color pencils color softly and blend in nicely and they worth it.

Great set of Prisma color pencils

They are great for the price. Cheaper than Prismacolor premier pencils, slightly harder. But still very good to use

Comparison of four brands

A.C. · 23 June 2017

I need a set of 12 colored pencils for marking text. I specifically need pencils that mark easily with not having to press down hard and I also need good contrast between the colors. It was challenging to see a noticeable difference between the light & dark blues and between the light and dark greens. It was almost impossible to get a set of 12 that one of the colors wasn’t white, which is useless for my purposes. That being said, I purchased one set each of Sargent, Prismacolor, Prang and Cra-z-art and compared them. Here are my results.Prisma was probably the best quality and had excellent contrast between the two blues and between the two greens. They marked easily with very little pressure and the range of colors was great. However, for my purposes, I really needed a pink. Prisma had peach or flesh-tone instead that is not pink enough for my needs. I didn’t choose Prisma for that one reason alone. If my purpose was different, it may have been my first choice.The one I chose was Cra-z-art. There was very good contrast between the two blues and between the two greens, plus it had a very pretty shade of pink. It was the only set that didn’t contain white. Instead, there are two reds with good contrast between them as well. They also marked easily with very little pressure.Prang was very similar to the Cra-z-art and was my second choice. The reason it was not number one was because the pink was not as bold as the Cra-z-art and it contained white.Sargent had the best pink. However, it was the hardest of the four and needed more pressure to mark. Also, there was not much contrast between the two blues and between the two greens.

Excellent complément aux Prismacolor Premier

N. · 26 January 2022

Un prix défiant toute concurrence. Une texture onctueuse (un peu moins que pour les Prismacolor Premier), proche des crayons-pastels à l’huile (Posca ou Kho-I-Noor, par exemple). Un rendu inattendu de vivacité, même sur papier noir. Aisés et rapides à travailler, ne nécessitant pas de blender. Un choix de coloris très varié, avec certains tons opaques. Deux doublons bienvenus : blanc et noir. On trouve un argenté, mais pas de doré (à récupérer chez les Prismacolor Premier). En somme, d’une qualité plus que scolaire, quasi professionnelle ! À ranger selon ses besoins (non dans le portant d’origine). À posséder absolument !
