Will this work for colored art pencils?

It does work on colored pencils but when the lead breaks off as you are sharpening, you have to shake it out otherwise it jams. I haven't had any problems.

Yes it will work with colored pencils, but most art instructors will tell you not to. The fear is that the softer lead will be ground down too easily. The auto shut off will help prevent that from happening tho so personally I don't have a problem with my students using it - judiciously.

I have only used this sharpener a few times for this and it does a good job. How it would react to multiple use is something I cannot answer.

Works on 3 different brands/types of colored pencils in my studio. Points are sharp and clean.

It will as long as the colored pencils do not have a plastic covering on the outside.

Yes Christopher. I have many colored pencils and it is excellent on them all. However, it doesn't do a good job on pastel pencils or charcoal pencils.

I tried it on a water color pencil just to check and it worked fine. We have had the Panasonic too but the one we had is no longer available so we got this one. It works fine I think the motor is just a little slower.

If the pencil fits into the slot (it does not matter if it is flat or round) it might work. I have only sharpened my kids pencils for school and it works very well.

Absolutely! That is actually why I bought it. It does a great job on all pencils!

It has 3B lead which is darker and softer than most #2 pencils... the darker the better so yes it WILL work

No sure. But I used it to color a large painters cloth for a tablecloth. I still have dye leftover

Yes-this sharpens the colored pencils well. Mine are not too soft- so this was not a problem at all. Not sure if you have a softer lead with your pencils-but this worked well in ours.

I do not know if I already posted a reply but... I cannot really give an informed answer as I have never used this sharpener for soft art pencils. I just know that the sharpener is good, compact, has an appealing look to it but it does sharpen pencils slowly.ed

The size of the sharpener only allows it to sharpen #2 pencils. I have used it to sharpen colored pencils which works as well.

Yup, it'd work with regular pencils. In fact, when sharpening Prismacolors, it's recommended to sharpen a regular pencil every so often, to clean the blade and "oil" it with graphite. So I've sharpened a regular drawing pencil in it several times. Gets graphite pencils ridiculously sharp.

It sharpens my colored pencils beautifully. Haven't tried water color pencils but see no reason why it wouldn't.

You can try since I'm not sure if they can sharpen the huge crayons. Probably it can as long as they fit inside the huge hole.

We use the smallest hole for our standard colored pencils and the largest one for our chunky colored pencils. Hope that helps!

We have been using it to sharpen colored pencils for about a month and it is working well, but time will tell!

It works with colored pencils. I'm not sure if there's a difference watercolor & regular colored pencils.
