Prismacolor Premier Softcore Colored Pencils has a soft, thick core, which makes for good durability and rich blending. However, even though they are resistant to breakage, they will break if dropped on a hard surface. It is recommend to avoid dropping all pencils, as the core pigment will eventually crack and then break. When drawing, I keep my pencils in its box or upon a soft clothed table. I also make sure that they are not on the edge of a table, where they can easily roll off. Take care when you sharpen your pencils too. I usually use a sharp utility knife, shaving off about two inches from the tip. Following this, I use a sandpaper covered wooden block to smoothly sharpen and shape my pencils. I keep separate sanding blocks for colored pencils, graphite pencils, and charcoal. I don’t want to chance that pigment will attach itself to other pencils, especially charcoal. I also keep a cloth to wipe off my pencils after sharpening.

I am in the process of uploading youtube demonstrations of artists drawing with Prismacolor Pencils and Prismacolor Markers. So far I have two of Johnny Depp – one in the role of Captain Jack Sparrow from the film series, “Pirates of the Caribbean” and the other in his brilliant role as the Mad Hatter in “Alice in Wonderland.” The other drawing demonstration video I have is of the late Heath Ledger in his role as the Joker in “Batman.” I really love watching these wonderful artists demonstrate their talent. However, if you are just a beginner, I would avoid drawing people in make-up, as your drawings can take on a cartoon effect. It’s better that you learn to draw the portrait in a darkened room with a strong spotlight. In my drawing classes, our instructors always make sure that we work in a dimly lit studio, where the shadows are more pronounced. These set-ups make for more dramatic portraits. If you are not looking for drama, but just want to learn how to draw heads, then by all means, work in a well lit studio. It’s always recommended that you use a spot light on your subject, which will truly bring out the color, which you will want to exploit using your Prismacolor Pencils and Prismacolor Premier Soft Core Colored Pencils, 132 Colored Pencils (4484).
