Prismacolor
Prismacolor was created in 1938.
The UK based company Letraset (now ColArt Group) is mainly known for it's production of sheets of dry transferable lettering of any kind. Letraset also manufactures markers, ink, pads, films and cutting boards.
Markers by Letraset are a good substitute.
Faber-Castell are harder and keep a point longer, whereas Prismas are softer, more buttery and crumble faster. Which is better is a matter of preference and style. Prismas are great (in my opinion) on tracing paper, whereas Fabers and great on your regular, printer-type paper or sketchbooks.
yes, they are.
The recommended method for preserving and protecting artwork created with Prismacolor pencils is to use a fixative spray specifically designed for colored pencils, such as Prismacolor fixative. This spray helps to seal and protect the artwork from smudging and fading. It is important to follow the instructions on the fixative spray carefully to ensure proper application and preservation of the artwork.
Prismacolor pencils are very expensive, but mind you they are very well worth it. I find their quality far superior and above any other brands that I have ever purchased. I got a 24 pack with a bonus package of prismacolor markers on sale for $20. Watch out for deals and use coupons if possible at your local art supply stores.
Where can you buy Lettrasets? Answer: Kalkitos is equivalent to Letraset action transfers, and they started selling again. See their website (kalkitos.sg) Prices seem reasonable, I couldn't find any others, even on ebay>
Prismacolor discontinued the neon colored pencils :(I have a tiny stub of the neon yellow and was researching forever only to find it has been discontinued. So bummed.
