Best brand of professional colored pencils?

Besides Prismacolor, what brand of colored pencils do you like best?

  • Having become less pleased with the quality of Prismacolor colored pencils recently, I am looking a better alternative. The Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and the Derwent Signature colored pencils seem to be at the top of the list. Any feedback on either of these brands

  • Answer:

    I like Faber the best... i recently started doing pencil work and found thourgh trial and error that this one holds up very well, i tend to be heavy-handed, also a large color selection..and ease in mixing colors (making colors) . for shading its great (with a light hand(smile)). the colors adhere well. go with faber

Yes, Faber Castell are great! They color as beautifully as Prismacolors but they dont break as often.

I like Faber Castell best of all. Mead and Berol are good too. I have some old ones by Empire, but they're inferior to the brands listed above.

Well, many choices I guess... But my choices are : Neocolor series ( carrandache ) : not only colored pencils, but crayons, pastels, and aquarel too. Too bad it's expensive Lyra : Somehow the same as carrandache, but cheaper faber : yes, it's everyone's choice in the world Derwent : yes, they are good, too, and popular. Conclusion : your choices couldn't be more right... ^ ^ Try carrandache and lyra if u can afford it. They have good quality too!!
