Some shots of my jelly bean jar drawing using Prismacolor Soft-Core Pencil Crayons.

A few weeks back, I was assigned to create a portfolio cover using only pencil crayons as the medium. I usually hate having to colour with pencil crayons because all I had was those standard Crayola ones, and those are really tough to work with to create something with depth and light. So I ventured out to the world of the internet in search of some helpful tips when creating masterpieces with pencil crayons, and that's when I found Soft-Core Prismacolor Pencil Crayons.

The Prismacolor Soft-Core Pencil Crayons, 24 Pack (Ahhh all my pictures are really bad quality! I'm sorry, I am determined to get a sweet camera soon!)

I initially borrowed my friend Isabel's 12 pack, but I needed more colours for my project. I couldn't use my Crayola ones because it really wouldn't look the same as the high quality of the Prismacolor ones, so I really had no choice but to buy my very own set of 24 Prismacolors.

I bought my set on Amazon.com HERE for a discounted price compared to most retailers. Got the set about a week later, and many of my friends in art class were going crazy over them! I mean who wouldn't? This stuff is absolutely UH-MAYY-ZING, bragging rights come with the purchase! Of course I shared the magic with everyone, and I got a perfect mark on my artwork! Yehhayy!

The soft-core allows the pigments to be blended together easily, making it easier to create dimension, blending away harsh lines, and even mixing colours together. Using the white pencil crayon, you can soften bold pigments and create a gradual build-up to the highlights, making it look more realistic. I got a real good use with that white pencil crayon, I'm going to need to get a new one soon!

If you're an amateur artist like myself who enjoys experimenting with different mediums, or really anyone who wants to take pencil crayons to the next step, you will not regret getting the Prismacolor Soft-Core Pencil Crayons.
