Compared to the colorsoft and the watercolor pencils, how are they? I own a set of the watercolor pencils and LOVE them...

The major difference between this particular set and the watercolor pencils is that the colors are much more intense. Otherwise they work similarly to the watercolor pencils. The manufacturer claims that the colors are actually inks and that they are permanent when completely dry. Watercolor pencils can generally be worked again after they are dry. I think these pencils would complement rather than replace the watercolor pencils. I suggest that you get this set and try them as I think you will enjoy working with them.

The Inktense Pencils are very vibrant. I take the wet brush to the pencil to pick up the color then take the brush to the paper.

Get the regular Blackwings or the Pearl. The 602 is a bit harder. In any case you will love them....best pencil I have ever used.

I'm not saying that I don't like prang pencils, the rich colors are wonderful. The neons are pretty well saturated and bright. All the colors blend well with all my other pencils. Crayola is great too, but we only have one problem. they all break in the shaft of the pencils. "Of course they do," you say, what am I to do? Nothing, I get my trusty box cutter out and whittle away, I get great points. There are a lot of sharpeners out there, I have found one that really puts a great point on . Good luck!

I wish I could help you, but I purchased the pencils as a gift for my children in college. They like them.

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

Not exactly. Some colors are fairly okay with water others are not. Based on my experience I wouldn't venture into watercolors with them. They work fine but they are best kept dry. I use mine for writing in my planner, doodling and sketching or journalIng, never for wet work. Sakura pens would be a better option or prisma liners for watercolor work.

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!

So far, regular and colored pencils sharpen equally well. No problems so far:)

as my art teacher says, you get what you pay for, I am very satisfied with my purchase as were the rest of the students in my class. You are paying for the amount of pigment in the color pencils and with the other lesser pencils you may do goo work, but with the prisma color pencils you will have a higher quality artwork. If you are just doing this as a one time only, get the cheaper pencils, but if you are going to continue to pursue a longer endeavor in the art world you will not regret buying the better pencils.

I have quite a few different kind of colored pencils, most of them not very expensive. I like the woodless Koh-I-Noor pencils, which can be purchased by single pencil or in sets. They are easy to break if dropped; the "lead" tends to shatter. The colors are vibrant, and there are a good variety of colors available.

I'm afraid I can't be much help to you. I bought it after checking all the pencil sharpeners I could find, the recommendations and details of each. It was for my great grandson who needed one for school work. I know it worked well and he liked it, but am not sure about colored pencils or water color pencils. Sorry.

The core is harder than a pastel, but softer and lays down more color than a watercolor pencil. You may not be impressed at first, but when you wet the medium, that is when the Inktense (as in "intense") color surprises you. You get a lot of control with the depth of shade. I love them.

I've never used Sakura Koi water colors...but I am sure it's a good choice. I'm use to using Winsor Newton brand products and like their quality. Like may artists, I use more than one brand of watercolors sets. I also love using my Pelikan 24 watercolor set. Sakura Koi has very good reviews...I may pick try that brand someday.

I haven't had that problem. They aren't like the crayola pencils where you can never effectively sharpen again. These have different texture and are better/easier.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer. I do think the quality of their pencils is very good. I believe you can email the company directly by going to their sight and clicking on the "contact us" option.

Not really. Inktense Pencils are in a class all by themselves and I love them. I have both the pencils and the blocks. When you draw then and add water, with a brush, or paint directly from the blocks , the colors are amazing, truly intense and gorgeous. I've not found anything else like them.
