Recommended colour pencils brand

Hi everyone!

I hope you're having a very happy weekend!

I love drawings so much and I'm just looking for great quality color pencils preferably water-soluble ones. Anyone recommend something good colored pencil brands?

For water-soluble colored pencils, I love Derwent's Inktense...they're waterproof when dry, and I also use them on fabric.

Any other brands for non water soluble coloured pencils?

I love prisma colored pencils the most but they are not water soluble. Derwent Inktense pencils are water soluble & have great color. -Megan

I love to use Derwent watercolour pencils. They have great colour but a bit kinda getting more noises on the paper when i'm filling out. Do you know why? and it depends on the surfaces and quality of paper? What sketch books are you using? Thank you for answering.

I love Prisma and Derwent. I have prisma in both water color and regular. I also have Derwent in both along with their graphitint.

I also have Prisma in both watercolour & regular and I like using them a lot. I also have a set of regular Derwents but I don't think they are as nice as Prisma. Apparently the Caran D'Ache brand is good, but I haven't used them myself.

Wini, I agree about the Derwents. I prefer my Prismas. I haven't tried the Caran D'Ache yet, but I do have the watercolor crayons by Caran D'Ache and I like those.

Hi Lisa, thanks for the tip re the Caran D'Ache watercolour crayons. I might look in to that. I have a cheap set of watercolour crayons and I don't like using them.

Thanks for the tips. I have Derwent watersoluble colour pencils but I don't like using them so much. I should have try Prisma. I also recommand to try Caran D'Ache watercolour crayons. They have great colour.

Thanks for your input re the watercolour crayons Shwe! I think I will get a set of those.

Hi, Wini. I use prisma and they are great. I also use the Caran D'Ache neocolor II, watercolor crayons. They are great. If they have pencils (which I didn't know) I would like to try them. Iris P.

Hi Iris, thank you for your recommendation! I've just bought myself a set of Caran D'Ache watercolour crayons...yay..!! :))) I believe they do have pencils as well, both watercolour ones and regular ones, but I haven't tried them. Wini

I'm glad we can help Wini. That's what's so wonderful about online friends, even with the simplest things we can help each other. Not that choosing what's best for your creations is a simple thing, but isn't it wonderful. Don't ever hesitate to ask questions or share your concerns. I have found beautiful friendships and have been helped and even supported on things that had nothing to do with art. Hugs, Iris
