Prismacolor 962 Premier Colorless Blender Pencils, 2-Count

Best blender pencil ever for any soft core pencils!

I purchased these Colorless Blender Pencils to go with a set of Prismacolor's Scholar Colored Pencils as a separate purchase. I have played with them with the Scholar Colored Pencils, and some other pencils that I own, including a set of Oil-Based pencils. In all cases, I was pleased with the way that the Colorless Blenders blended the colors with one exception. In every type pencil I had at hand, the yellow was obscured by the green or orange bordering it. That may, however, be a function of my own lack of familiarity with the blenders. I have used tortillions more for blending color in the past. This two pencil set comes unsharpened, but sharpened in a standard pencil sharpener that I had on hand - a manual one, at that. The pencils come packaged in a blister pack as shown in the listing, and were sent in a larger box with some other items. PROS: Exactly as advertised 2 in the set arrived on time no breakage blend colors well work for a variety of pencils Belatedly, I realized that there was a video on the listing that shows you how to use these. I strongly advise that you watch it (unlike me - wish I had noticed that earlier!) CONS: None really CONCLUSION: I can easily see myself using these up and wanting more. The price on this listing was comparable to others, but this one is a Prime listing, meaning I got it quickly and feel very secure about purchasing through Prime.

These pencils blend the color of the pencil smoothly and blends the strokes. Blending also keeps the color from fading and makes it easy to blend shading of colors. I recommend them to anyone who enjoys using soft core colored pencils, such as Premier Prismacolor pencils,

I have very limited experience with colored pencils, but I do have a set of Prismacolor pencils that I use for highlights and shading over Copic markers. Someone suggested I might want to try a blender pencil, and after one afternoon, I’m already in love with these! Smooths out lines and blends my shading together, and works really well over the Copic base. Highly recommend!

Prisma color pencils have more oil so they blend but are difficult to sharpen & led breaks if you drop them.

I don't need to use these with Prismacolor pencils too often because Prismacolor pencils already smoosh into paper and blend themselves practically, but I enjoy do having these on hand because I like to use a blender with some more budget brand colored pencils I still use often. They work wonderfully.

Blends wonderfully. Use a sharpener to keep a sharp point for careful blending.

The best blending pencils out there. Love the effect after laying down color with Prismacolor premium pencils. These blenders do a fantastic job leaving the project looking shiny and professional.

A great blender! I've tried several in the past, including Derwent and Caran D'ache, but this one actually works better for me! It works equally well on wax and oil based pencils, both hard and soft. It bleeds smoothly without leaving too much of a waxy thickness and has an almost matt finish-unlike other blenders, which I found to be either too dry or two waxy and almost greasy. Used it on both smooth and toothy paper-good on both. It's also very buildable: you can blend lightly to leave a feeling of texture if that's what you're going for. Or you can blend thoroughly to create a smooth, cartoon like feel. It's actually better than the Premier Prismacolor pencils, which have an issue of breaking often. So far the blender has been holding a tip and no breakage inside the casing. It feels almost like a Faber Castel pencil in that regard. I've read some review mentioning it may leave a dark mark or smear the black ink in some coloring books. Well yes, it can, but so does the Caran D'ache one. Any blender may smudge, that's what they do, after all. If you have a coloring book that smudges easily just stay away from the inking: get into those tiny edges with a well sharpened coloured pencil. And yes, it transfers whatever colour it has picked up, so make sure to clean the tip before moving to a different shade, especially if it's lighter. Just draw a line on a clean paper (I have one by my side whenever I'm colouring) until the tip is clean. You can easily see if it has dirt on it.

They work well not only with Prismacolor pencils but also with Derwent Drawing colored pencils and probably with any wax based colored pencils

Muito bom mas mancha um pouco quando se passa em cima das linhas pretas do desenho
