Technique, Art Supplies and Digital Art Lessons, Animal Drawings Set, Level 2, How to Draw Animals with Colored Pencils, Dual-Ended Markers, and More, Bird Drawing Lesson, 27 Count

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I managed to get this on sale around the time I got it, I literally wanted it for the cheap prismacolors and the pencil roll for my skin tones, every else was just a great bonus. Get these kits when they’re really low on sale, totally worth the wait if they’re not out of stock.

The media could not be loaded. I read all the reviews about colored pencils and Prismacolor was getting the best reviews. So then I searched for a set that had alcohol markers as well. So I decided this one, the Level 2 Animal drawing set was the best for my coloring book. Blooming Joy, so I got it. I was very pleased with the beautiful blending I achieved after watching the video. Now, at first I was confused as when I typed in my promo code, it brought me to a place where it wanted me to buy it. But I had already bought it. But then I figured out to just skip all that and go down further and enter the promo code and then it popped right up, it knew I had already bought it and I got into the online lessons. Also, I was very pleased that the Sand color worked well for the skin tone, I was apprehensive about buying that set because it didn’t have a skin tone, but the Sand pencil worked perfectly. So this was a very economical way to get started on enjoying making beautiful art!

ESTE KIT ES MUY COMPLETO SU PLATILLA PARA DIBUJO, LOS LAPICES DE COLORES Y DEMÁS COMPLEMENTO SON IDEALES PARA REGALAR UN UN PEQUEÑO ARTISTA , MI HIJA DE 12 AÑOS QUEDO ENCANTADA CON ESTE REGALO QUE FUE POR SU GRADUACIÓN DE ESCUELA (EDUCACIÓN PRIMARIA) CABE RECALCAR QUE LOS LAPICES DE PRISMACOLOR SE DESLIZAN POR EL PAPEL COMO UNA MANTEQUILLA (ESO DICE MI PEQUEÑA ARTISTA) Y DEFINITIVAMENTE LA CARA QUE TENÍA CUANDO LO DIJO FUE GENIAL

Great buy! Lots of materials that can be used repeatedly. Not all are equal though (thought he items I wasn't pleased with are cheap and don't diminish the value, though they did knock a star off my review.)ERASER: I've used Magic Rub erasers before, but this one feels kind of slimy and did not erase, just smudged.SHARPENER: Cheap. Feels like plastic, pencil goes in on an angle, doesn't sharpen great. I've others that work beautifully, this one is getting tossed.LINER MARKERS: Very nice, smooth, no skipping. Give it a second or two to dry though - it doesn't dry as immediately as my other liner markers.DOUBLE ENDED MARKERS: Try these on scrap over the pencil first. In one of the lessons, they are used to blend the pencil, but I don't think they did that when I used them. Pencil and marker can be layered over one another though. Pretty colors. The caps are tight, but even with arthritic hands, I was able to open these just fine.ARTIST ROLL: This only holds the pencils, but not all of them. I did put two each in a couple of the loops, but that's pretty tight. I checked here and their site, and this roll is not sold separately - I'd LOVE a larger one. But it's nice to have for storing pencils and seeing the colors all at once.LESSONS: I highly recommend viewing them before drawing along with them! They do skip around a little, and be prepared to use your pause button as they move along pretty quickly. I did learn some new techniques in lessons one and two. I haven't done the third lesson yet. In some reviews I saw people saying they were charged. You do NOT have to provide address or credit card info, but you do have to set up an account, which is easy. I just entered my first name, e-mail, and the code on the inside of the box, then hit the "redeem" button, and I had immediate access.DON'T DRAW? The instructions show how to sketch out, step by step, in the first animal lesson. The second animal lesson is kind of quick and doesn't have a page showing step-by-step instructions. In each, it's possible to print these and trace them if you want to color but don't feel confident drawing.COLORED PENCILS: I already have Prismacolor pencils and like them. These were mostly new colors to me with the exception of four (white, black, a green and yellow). I had no idea what colors would be included, so this was a happy surprise for me. The points get dull fast, so keeping a sharpener handy is important.TURQUOISE GRAPHITE PENCILS: LOVE these!! I had them on my wish list, and they are very nice. Three are included: 2H, H, and 2B. Sharpen easily, sketch nicely, erase cleanly.PAPER & GRID: I haven't tried either one yet. There were no instructions in the first two lessons, but then I noticed the bonus items in the account. They include how to use the grid. One is how to use that grid. There is no charge for those, they are in addition to the lessons and look helpful. The paper has a texture to it and is a nice size.PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS: These are referred to in the lessons and shown as nicely printed out, but they are not included in the box. One is about the color wheel and very useful, but is online only (animal lesson 2). I'd LOVE to have that in print.OVERALL: Love this set, have no regrets. It was a Prime Day buy for me, so the cost was less than a smaller set of pencils alone would be, and that makes this an incredible buy. I would not have purchased either type of marker included, but this was a fun way to try these out. This would make a nice gift, and it's fun to have this set if interested in learning how to draw with colored pencils.

Great product, I mainly use it for adult coloring.

Son loves them

I have several of these sets and they are a great educational tool for colored Pencils. The pencils themselves are worth the cost alone, but the videos included make it worth while. I had to send this one back as I already have the fox set, and wanted the giraffe set. This is not what was included with my purchase.

I have the large set of Prismacolor pencils but wanted to learn a few more tricks and this was on sale. I am happy (as always) with Prismacolor products and the training with this set!
