I'm not sure if you all saw the comment that was posted 17 mins ago from some very RUDE person or not but I reported the comment as harassment and bullying of Pamela!! The comment was highly unnecessary and was just down right hateful! If you don't like the video that she has taken her time, energy, and money to film, edit, review, and post then MOVE ON!! You don't have to leave such hateful comments. You WILL BE REPORTED because you may or may not know but she has a very strong following of very dedicated followers and Facebook friends who will not stand for such ignorance!! Move along if you aren't interested in the content of her videos! Thank you and have a splendidly blessed day!

It’s just part of what happens when you’re on social media on such a huge open public platform.

Mine came today. The box is adorable and when you lift the lid, they smell so good. Not used them yet, just loving looking at them!!

Another Great review, Pamela. ❣️ I had a crazy thought about some of these budget sets having some great beautiful colors that I haven't seen before. 🥰 Back to reality, I'm going to save for my most wished for colored pencils.

Good morning, Pam! Thank you for another informative video. I've bought these to try. I would love to see a comparison between the Arteza pencils as well as the Prisma colors. Thanks for putting them in color order. Unfortunately, I don't use social media so I won'be able to catch the comparison. Once again thank you for all of the hard work dedication that you put into your videos. Your content is so information and worth every minute of my time. I've learned And continue to learn so much from you and your videos. Thank you for sharing your artistic talent and inspiration. Keep up the hard work and yes I would love to see a page colored as well. Have a lovely and enjoyable weekend!🎨💕

You know Im going to have to have this set now .Love how they blend on your video.Love the colors and the price seems great for 72 set.

I have the Arteza and Prismacolor Pencils and I will purchase these as well. Since I am new to coloring pencils I would rather use budget pencils as I journey through learning this medium rather than my prismacolor or my polychromos. Thank you for this video it is really a big help in teaching me how to swatch as well.😊😊

These seem really nice. I’m really tempted but I’m committed to not buying anymore budget sets until I compile my Luminance collection. That being said these are sooo tempting! 💜 Hadassah

I just unboxed mine a few minutes ago and have to say that I totally agree with every word of your assessment.

I mentioned in the video that these are a wax-based pencil because this is what I was told by my contact from the Arrtx company when I asked. The Amazon listing does state that these are oil-based. I have a message out to my contact at the company to get clarifications on this. Either way, they are great pencils as you can see after I put these through all my standard tests. I just need to spend some time to sit down and color with them so I'll update soon. Happy coloring everyone!

I hope these are wax, as oil pencils can give me problems sometimes from the smell. Did these have a chemical smell more than a wax set would usually have? The colors are beautiful, and you did such a good job of showing these to their best. If they don't have that oil smell (vs. wax non-smell), I am interested in purchasing these because I really trust your judgment and how you let the pencils sell themselves. Thank you so much!!!

I've got them for a few years and also ordered Arrtx pencils, so I can get you some comparison here when they arrive (from Aliexpress it will be a month I think). :) To be honest, I really felt the need to order new pencils because I'm not much satisfied with Marco Raffine. I got them because they were super cheap but my hand hurts from burnishing these, also when I sharp them to the nice point, they tend to break. I can't say anything about Arrtx now but if I could compare Marco Raffine to Koh-i-noor Progresso which I have (they are from good brand so that's why I mentioned them), M. R. also have a bit poor pigmentation. First I thought it is good but only when I tried Koh-i-noors (or Art Creation by Talens), I've found out how should the good pigmentation perform. Ok, I love to work with what I already have but it is more enjoyable to work with something what doesn't cause me a wrist pain. :) I can't wait what differencies I'll notice compared to Arrtx.

Happy Coloring!

I have been trying to concentrate using oil based pencils lately. While I do like the oil based ore than I used to, I really like my wax based pencils the best especially prismas, black widows, and Crayolas. Yes, I just did a whole page in just Crayolas and it turned out pretty OK!

Would like a comparison to Prismacolors, especially the identical names.

Since you like Prismacolor so much, you might want to try vintage Berol Prismacolors if you haven't. I got my hands on some and they are like Prismacolor Premier...but better! You can tell just by holding the pencil and looking at it that it's a sturdier pencil, and I find it to be generally better quality all around. That's not to say I think the Premiers are bad, and I don't want to act like the Berols are like 100x better, but I do find them to be a better pencil and worth looking into if you're REALLY into the Prismacolor experience.

I have the Prismacolor pencils. Also have vintage Berol pencils, at least 40 yrs old and no one is allowed to touch but me. They are so much better than the newer Prismas, color saturation and blendability so much smoother. If you find Berols, snap them up and add to your collection of Prismas, well worth it.

Sort of looks like they tried to take a 50 set and stretch it, there are a lot of awfully close colors in there. They seem nice, but *looks at pencil cases* I don't think I need them. Also, *hugs Crayolas*. Especially the neons, because those things are becoming a staple.
