Review
by Montalvo Machado, Freelance illustrator, São Paulo, Brazil
There's something really different in
Prismacolor pencils when comparing to
other brands. They seem to have more pigment than any other, they are
not waxy, and you can paint over it with acrylics, watercolor, oils and
go over that again with Prismacolor without any trouble.
Prismacolor is the choice of some of the
most accredited illustrators, such as Mark English, John
English, Chris F. Payne, Brent Watkinson and many
others.
For pastels the best choice I've found is
Design NuPastels, and for pastel pencils
the Stabilo CarbOthello are perfect for
detailing.
The paper that works well with these two brands
is Stonehenge, especially in the colors
Fawn, Gray and Beige. Pastel Master Gary Kelley is a long time
user of these brands. Crescent #300 Illustration
Boards are the most affordable with the highest quality I found.
