I'm new to artwork, have many pro color pencils. Can these be used dry for areas larger than the small ones mentioned in reviews?

It would be very difficult in my opinion to use it for larger areas. I reccomend getting prismacolor chalk pastels for larger areas. They are pricy, but worth it. These pencils are more for small, detailed areas in a chalk piece. Hope this helped.

For my experience, not when using the finer tips. Thats why I like these pens. In larger tip sizes, i wouldn't know for sure.

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.

I use them for zentangle, but I think they'd be very good for drawing. There are 6 different width nibs, they are archival, dry quickly and don't bleed or leak. Ink flows evenly and consistently.

Prismacolor colored pencils are wax based, so unlike the usual Crayola, they do not leave a "powdery" substance behind. However, like Travis mentioned prior to my comment, they will eventually leave a waxy buildup, but it's more of a thin film that you can scrape off gently if it bothers you. Other than that, there's very even coverage, and they should work fine.

The 150 set has some colors that are not available in smaller sets or as separate items. As an artist I do a lot of drawing and I like the extra colors. I also use other brands of pencils. If you are happy with the smaller set for less money that is fine. The most important thing is the enjoyment of your work.

These watercolor pencils can be used for serious coloring. I think that they are better than regular colored pencils. They are really smooth and the color is vibrant.

Since these are used with water, and acrylics are thinned with water, I would think you would have to be careful not to muddy your colors.

I don't use colored pencils myself - I work in watercolors. These are for my kids as they have gotten older and enjoy colored pencils (they are all pretty artistic). I start them off young with Crayola and then go to Prismacolor. I have bought the Premier for them but they have been gifts at Christmas and I let them know these are not like Crayola and they have to take care of them. I found two links for you. Hope this helps! One is from a Blog: Just a Place for Cool Stuff http://pumibel.blogspot.com/2011/11/prismacolor-scholar-line-colored.html This is the other one. I found this on a Yahoo Canada Answers link: "The Premier is the artist quality and the Scholar is the student brand. The artist quality Premier is higher quality - they have more pigment and the pencils mix better as well. Source(s): Professional artist for a long time. Colored pencil artist for 23 years and counting..."

I'm afraid I can't be much help to you. I bought it after checking all the pencil sharpeners I could find, the recommendations and details of each. It was for my great grandson who needed one for school work. I know it worked well and he liked it, but am not sure about colored pencils or water color pencils. Sorry.

I would color test the items in a small area first but with London Fog the fabric should be colorfast. It should work great.

Slightly. Their tips are thin so it would take a lot of time to fill in large areas. However be careful one of the pens in my package was totally dried out when I opened the package the first time after getting them.

If it is very light and not much it will ease with one of the white eaters for the color pencils. This has been my experience but I am very new to using them. Hope this helps.

These will seep through and probably cause cheap paper to tear and have little bits to come up. These are artist markers and must be used on good paper.

No we only use them in normal coloring books or on paper. I am not sure they would be good on a dry erase board.

These pens have the appearance of gouache when they dry (takes about 5 minutes to dry, but give it 10 minutes to set). They are not good for drawing fine lines, but they do have a nice even surface once they are dry which is great for filling in larger areas. They are not dark like manga, even the black dries gray. Unless you are inventing a new style of manga (which could be interesting), I would recommend sticking with Sakura's Micron pens. Micron does have brush tip pens for filling in larger areas. If you want to try manga on black paper and don't mind wider lines, these could look pretty cool. Enjoy your arting!

I am rough on pens and have not had any problems. I did notice recently when I used a color than I don't use a lot that it didn't flow as well. Like maybe it was trying to dry up but all in all I use them over mixed media and they are holding up well so far.
