I don’t use coloured pencils on their own very often, usually just with other media, so I don’t have an overly extensive collection. Very interesting to see someone else’s research! I have a set of Derwent Inktense, some Pitt pastel pencils, a large set of polychromos (my one pencil splurge) and a few other random small sets that I’ve tried. So, I don’t have many of a similar purpose/type to compare. However, the last pencil purchase I made was a set of 12 Derwent drawing pencils and I LOVE them. I’d like to invest in a larger set or some open stock to increase my collection of that particular pencil.

Like you video. Had150 set of the Chromaflow didn’t love them some colors were streaky and 3 leds came out too. Also some broke when shaping. I ended up giving them away . My Boyfriend got me the 150 set of Prisma colors I am a Colorist and I like to learn to sketch ….. 2024 thank for sharing

Helen, I just saw this video and am glad for the comparison. I have some prismacolor and enjoy them. I had decided, based on other comparisons, not to get the Chromoflows and stick with Prismacolor. Your comparison cemented that decision. Thank you! I have a few luminance and it’s on my list for a set. I’ve seen you expound on the wonders of Holbein pencils and hope to give them a try soon. Thanks again! For water based pencils, I love inktense and my set of Derwent Albrecht Durer was a great investment!

Omg! That butterfly is beautiful 😮

Nice review and gorgeous colours that pop. Thank you. ❤

Many thanks for this comparison video, I really enjoyed it. I’m about to order some new pencils for my birthday so it’s really nice to hear your opinion on both brands. Thanks 😊

My favourite Derwent colour pencils are Coloursoft, which are very creamy and vibrant, and Inktense which have an amazing depth of colour when wetted.

Many thanks for the comparison. I always want British products to be better, even with my coloured pencils! Prismacolor were I believe a British company, sold to Berol who have a factory, as mentioned, in Mexico. I still have some pencils from 30 years ago that, being uncommon colours, have hardly been used and are still excellent when needed. Decisions, decisions 😊

Interesting. I am looking for a small set 12 max to use with watercolour paints for extra detail. I don't use them often but find crayons useful when I am travelling. I struggle with pressure in hands/arms because of my chronic illness so am after some easy to lay down colours, but worry about the Prisma colours as I hear so many talking about breakage with them x

Hi, please can you tell me which type of black paper you used to swatch on? Thanks.

Great pencils have the tin of 72 nice to use.

👏👏❤

I ♡ my chromaflow BUT you do have to be careful with which sharpener you use. T'Gaal set on no 1 or the small metal German sharpener (2,50€) Derwent recommended for the Chromaflow

First!
