Crayola Colored Pencils are excellent. On arrival the pencils a pre-sharpened, they have a good weight to them, and with a decent sharpener one turn of the pencil sharpener and you have a nice sharp tip – btw just the tip needs sharpening.

Crayola colored pencils are good for a wide range of use, depending on your personal skill. This brand of colored pencil is an excellent choice for practice purposes since it is extremely durable and very affordable. That being said, they are definitely not the easiest to work with.

With Crayola Signature Blend and Shade Soft Core Colored Pencils, you can easily blend, shade, and add detail to your art and craft projects. Designed for smooth color laydown, this Colored Pencil Set adds vivid shades to light and dark paper.

Buying high quality colored pencils will give you the best chance of preserving your pencils for as long as possible. In general, colored pencils can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years. When kept in a cool, dark place and stored correctly, colored pencils can last even longer (10 years or more).

The higher pigment content in professional quality colored pencils (such as Prismacolor), combined with a core made of wax, clay and other ingredients, makes Prismacolor Colored Pencils softer than normal colored pencils. Prismacolors are available in 132 colors, which is ideal for creating fine art drawings.

Try holding the pencil in a more horizontal position. This allows you to use more of the exposed pigment core. If you turn the pencil in your fingers as you draw, you can also keep the pencil sharp. I use this grip when laying down color in larger areas.

Some artists skip the blending pencil altogether, favoring solvents that are readily available in their home. For example, dipping a cotton swab in a little bit of baby oil or water can help spread color around more easily and yield excellent results.
