are they oily like Prismacolor or Chalk-Pastel?

Niether, They aren't oily and if anything they have high density which means you can put as much of a thick layer down and still go over that without a waxy buildup.

Not really, most of the colors are fairly opaque. Possibly the yellow, but they are good markers and smell terrific.

There are no regular Prismacolor pencils. There are scholars, verithins, watercolor, and premier pencils. Scholars are student grade, which is why they are "scholar", verithins are still artist grade pencils and soft cores but keep a finer point which make them good for detail, watercolor pencils are water soluble, and premiers are soft core like the verithin but have a larger color selection and can not keep a fine point for a long point of time. I hope this answers your question!

My impressions have been a very light feel and not oily at all. The "very white" or "very pale" version was (obviously) more reflective, otherwise I'd say the original is quite matte. I haven't broken out from it.

There is no sheen to speak of and they are extremely pliable. They are on the sheer side and soft. I suspect they will puddle on the floor. Hope this helps.

Yes, absoltely! They have a very clothlike feel. I actally used a black sharpie on a few to test and even an easy to use pain pens in silver/white as well. They looked great!

I'm unaware. These soaps that I have received have been of the light green tint variety.

They are quite waxy and "shiny", I've had very very little residue left over before and that's only been in a case where I applied too much pressure on my pencil.

They are good for coloring and shading and they sharpen well. They have nice thick leads and bold colors. I have used Prismacolors before and loved them!

I would describe them as more "natural" -- not yellow but also not cream or ivory. A very, very pale beige.

I use them on the 'fake' chalkboard sheets ando in my opinion, they look more fluid than regular chalk. Like what you see on the bright menu boards etc at bars and restaurants. Im thinking depending how intense you make the letters could change how chalky they appear!

I'm not sure what they're made of but it appears to be the same material as most crayons. I've had one set of mine for at least 8 years and I use them in my work with young children, so they get used several times a day and they are holding up very well. They are not waxy like some cheaper crayons. I highly recommend these crayons.

No I don't think they are, they are like sharpies. And they don't have a sheen to them really.

Some colors are sheer, some opaque. I find the metallics are one coat coverage for me. The opaque neons are also one coat coverage for me. The pastels and sheers require several coats (or even another opaque polish as a base). I suggest a top coat but don't have a huge problem with chipping (typical one week wear time is what I can get w active hands). Hope that helped.

Yes, Prismacolor does a nice job of labeling colors, and there is also a number reference, which is handy when you wish to pick up individual colors later. Just a side note, this is a good basic color set, but lacks some flesh tones you may wish to supplement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv1qhHT0lQE this is a great link to learn how to blend these pencils. Happy Art Making!

They make a set in primary colors as well as pastels. The set I ordered my niece was a pastel one. Extremely well made - she loves it!
