I bought this for a school teacher and I don't know if it does. I'll ask her and get back to you.

I believe that it will not sharpen those types of pencils but it does sharpened standard size pencils beautifully!

see if you can download the user manual, as it shows you EVERYTHING you can sharpen. To answer your question though, yes.

No. This is not a good sharpener. It breaks the tips off pencils frequently. You would better off with a manual sharpener

At the beginning it worked wonderful, but after a 2 month the blade became dull. Now it take to long to sharpen pencils and I've only had it for about 4 months. I don't let my students sharpen colored pencil, They have their own sharpener for that.

I would say yes! It sharpens classroom pencils that have the coating on them without a problem. It stops when pencil is sharpened. It's great!

There is a special sharpener that is tailored for this pencil, and it is the Palomino KUM Long Point Sharpener. Though honestly, you can use any sharpener and it will work just fine. The pencils don't come with one.

Yes as long as you don't sharpen the pencil too sharp. It has to be dull to work

Technically any sharper wohoweverk *however* I bought a prismacolor pencil sharpener and I never regretted it. Most 'usual' sharpeners will actually break the led easily n often but the prismacolor didn't once. You will get the most out of your colored pencils if you buy it. And believe me, you want to get the most out of them because these awesome pencils aren't cheap lol good luck and happy coloring!

I have found out, since I just had to replace the one I bought a year ago, that in order for an electric sharpener to last you need to alternate colored pencils with a regular graphite one every five colored pencils. I am not sure, though, if I am going to sharpen many colored pencils with the one I just got.

With all pencils you have to be careful with the type of pencil sharpener you get. I have two types of pencil sharpeners. I use one for regular pencils and the other works well with color pencils. It just took me two tries to find the right sharpener for color pencils. One of those sharpeners just broke the lead all the time, meanwhile the other was more gentle with the lead, and wood.

It sharpens my colored pencils beautifully. Haven't tried water color pencils but see no reason why it wouldn't.

Never use an electric sharpener, as it can break the color stick inside the pencil and every time you try to sharpen it, you will lose more. I found videos on line that recommend either using a hand held pencil sharpener or a very sharp knife to peel off wood around the color stick, thereby saving as much f the color as possible. If I accidentally break off a piece of the color stick, I have small containers to save it in. Just add a little water and you have paint to use!

Yes Christopher. I have many colored pencils and it is excellent on them all. However, it doesn't do a good job on pastel pencils or charcoal pencils.

YES! You sharpen it like eyeliner pencil. Make sure you have a nice, quality sharpener, because the eyeliner is softer than a normal pencil version.

Like with any other pencil sharpener just pick out the wood shavings and save the pigment .to either clump together and use it on a pallete for water color.or disolve in a bottle and use it as a spritzer . Those are a few ideas :)
