I wanted to ask you something. I’d really like to start taking drawing more seriously, both as a hobby and a bit as therapy, and I was thinking about investing in Prismacolors because I absolutely loved how they looked .
I saw there are the regular ones and also the watercolor pencils, and I really liked the idea of being able to use water whenever I want. But I’m not sure if you have them or have tried them — do they still feel as creamy, blend well, and layer colors easily?
Since they’re watercolor pencils, I’m wondering if the texture changes a lot or if they feel less soft. The texture and effect you showed in the video were honestly my favorite part 😭✨
Your opinion would help me a lot to decide which ones to buy 🤍
