5.0 out of 5 starsA must for sketching
By Michael "angelo" Parrish on March 1, 2009
Size: Each
As an artist, I find the best way to sketch is loosely and a lot of free motion. I find the best pencils for this are Prismacolor Col-Erase pencils, as they allow for this with the best results. The 24 colors to chose from help add depth to sketches, be it a warmth or coolness, a shadow or neutral base. And the ability to erase helps clean up the finished sketch so it's easy to just let your movements flow with no worry of mistakes.

3.0 out of 5 starsHardly "brilliant" colors but are certainly erasable
By Lara Chetkovich on June 13, 2010
Size: Each Verified Purchase
Sorry, but I have very mixed feelings about this Prismacolor set after using it in different circumstances. According to the company's claims above:

" Writes with brilliant intensity and erases effortlessly..." only the claim about erasing is true and worth buying these pencils at all. The first claim is an outright lie--these colors have minimal, pastel intensity and the color shades are indistinct. Except for black, all the colors lay down very low-chroma--unlike the brilliant colors displayed on their barrels--which defeats one of the major reasons I purchased this set: to fill out ink drawings. The two yellows, three reds, three blues and two greens look so similar on paper that they might as well be the same...this set should have just come with 12 shades, not 24...and they are not mixable like regular Prismacolors. The frustration with laying down color reminds me of those flawed "map pencils" I used in sixth grade Geography, as in dang, this blue river doesn't stand out from the green land...in defense of the set, the color does lay down uniformly, just not as colorful as one would want.

These pencils do erase *completely.* But since one of the qualities of regular Prismacolor pencils is that, being wax-based, the color lays down so thick that you can normally color over mistakes, I'm not sure this erasable quality is worth it except for preliminary sketching or sketching around light areas where mistakes would be unfixable.

These pencils do keep a sharp edge for fine/detailed work--this comes from 2H hardness on the pencils--much like the Verithin line of pencils.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsYOU WILL LOVE THESE FOR SKETCHING TO COLORING AND HIDING MISTAKES! SHARP TIPS & ERASING AVAILABLE HERE!
By Fun Times Mom TOP 500 REVIEWER on August 20, 2015
Size: Each Verified Purchase
Best erasable pencils vs Crayola's version. You'll need an excellent handheld sharpener, like the BRASS BULLET (available on Amazon) before you can use this 24 count set though. It appears as though the 12 count set comes already sharpened based on the pictures shown. These laydown MUCH smoother than the Crayola version! Granted they are more expensive but they feel and look so much better they are worth the $11.00 ish that I paid. There is a reasonable range of colors with this 24 count set. It includes a White, Black, Gray and a Light Peach! The closest two colors in the set are the Vermillion and the Orange. They are strong enough to handle a really sharp tips and color in small spaces and yet smooth enough to lay the color down well. From sketches to coloring they can handle the job! They are closest to the Prismacolor Verithin line but they erase better. I just wish more colors were offered in this line for my "adult" coloring books. I haven't tried the other brands available in the erasable version (but have tried the regular versions). This is a solid performer at a reasonable cost. These are made by Prismacolor like the Scholar line. The erasable Scholar line only comes available in a 12 count though. I'm just guessing but I bet they have a more "powdery" feel and less of a sharp tip than this line. Based on the feel of the regular Scholar line vs the Verithin which these feel closest to.

Erasability: These erase better than then Verithin line as shown in the photo that has the Violet Blue Verithin erased vs the Col-Erase shown in the Blue, Purple and Black. The pink erasers work well on the pencil ends but I prefer to use the white ones made by Pentel or Staedtler. They don't "eat away" at the paper as much.

Lay Down: Color is smooth!Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsNot the typical Prismacolor, but still great!
By Linda on September 19, 2009
Size: Each Verified Purchase
I have used Prismacolor pencils off and on for 30 years (yes, I'm that old!). They have a richness than the more inexpensive brands don't match. These particular pencils are not quite up to that standard, BUT they really are erasable for the most part. If you don't fill in the color too darkly, they erase pretty well. I paid just over $10 for these, and you just cannot beat that value. I purchased them for my tweenager and she is very pleased with them. A college art student may find them insufficient.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Good Quality
By Josephine C. Dee on February 4, 2009
Size: Each
These have been my favorite colored pencils for years. I'm an art major, and while Prismacolors are great they break apart easily and aren't easily erasable. They can also be messy, and the price is a little restrictive.

These don't blend quite as much but they do blend quite well, and the ability to erase better than other brands is very, very useful. They aren't prone to breakage, and the colors are smooth. The downside is that it's hard to get them to be as vibrant as other pencils without applying a lot of pressure.

I recommend these for anyone, beginners and advanced artists alike.

These pencils are amazing! Smooth and very vibrant. However if you're heavy handed like me, erasing can be a pain. Would recommend this item to anyone and everyone.
