    I love my black widows over my prismacolor but the downfall of black widow is you can't just go get individual color replacement where as prisma you can go to your local art supply store like I do and grab another black, orange and red. Hopefully black widow gets to that point where I can even plan ahead and order those individual colors I go through faster

    I love my Black Widows and I love my Prismacolors!! This was a great comparison with a great subject!! I thought the comparison was done really well and I appreciate that you brought up the names because they don't always tell what a color looks like (in the Black Widow sets).
    Another excellent video!! Thank you.

    • @its-easy-to-draw
      @its-easy-to-draw  4 роки тому +1

      Yeah, the names are interesting. They are certainly fun, but not always helpful :D I find that now, coloring with widows, I don't look at the names or even which set it came from (just a pile of widow pencils now). Instead, I grab something that kinda looks like the color that i want and scribble with it on scrap paper. If I like it, I go with it, if I don't I move on.

    Great review and comparison. I have both brands, full sets of both and I store both brands together sorted by color family and use them together all the time. I think both brands compliment each other in different ways. I think Prisma will always be my "go to" pencil but I do love the Black Widows also. Well, I love ALL my pencils actually but definately I think I use those 2 brands the most

The fact that I can use my Prismas with the Black Widows is a bonus and I like the tip about going light to dark with the BW. Thank you...very useful tips.

    So I'm just getting into the coloring world, and I've been trying out different pencils..I have a favorite budget set which is supposed to be an oil based.. I decided to get prismacolor for color alongs..but the quality of the pencils left them in their case and me barely doing color alongs..they were always breaking or I was having to sharpen all the time..I finally got Black Widows and I was amazed the first time pencil to paper..so smooth and buttery..like a crayon almost.. well conclusion..prismacolors are getting returned and I'm getting the other blackwidow sets. Blackwidows are definitely going to be my Wax pencil

    I fell in love with my Black Widow pencils this summer. I’m a diehard Prismacolor user but found the Black Widows could do some things that the Prismacolors can’t. Sometimes the Prismacolors are too soft for what I’m working on, so the Black Widows work better on those pieces. I like it that Black Widows are vibrant too. They aren’t hard & muted like Verithins are. I have all of the Black Widows sets (they have a newer one that I haven’t used yet). Both of these pencil brands are wonderful!

    • @its-easy-to-draw
      @its-easy-to-draw  4 роки тому

      oh yes, of course, you CAN match colors, but my point was, there's more than one way to get a certain effect. For instance to match the skin tones on this piece, I didn't match pencils, I matched the outcomes of blending totally different combinations of pencils. So, getting a yellow ochre isn't limited to matching it to a cobra yellow or something, in the other set. There are at least 10 other ways to get that same color with different combinations, and that's often a stronger result. And there are more than enough colors in both sets to achieve the same results.

    Thank you for this. I was looking for a good brand of colour pencils without breaking the bank. I found the standard black widow set on sale online for $10 here in Australia.They haven't arrived yet, so I just wanted to know about them. I usually use graphite, but I miss having colour. So I was considering including coloured pencils in my artwork, but I'd only be happy if they can be blended and somewhat layered. I'm not really into realism I like bolder stuff, lol. ✨🌸✨

I might try the skin tone sets now though. I really hated the look of the Black Widows, I don't want to have to look at the tiny color name to see what color it is.

    HI! I am working on a very detailed art project where I am utilizing a lot of my my Prismacolor Verithin pencils. I am using them where the items are small, and where I also do not want them to blend, as the Verithins don't blend well which is the desired result. The set is only a 36 piece set and I found myself wishing the set has more colors in it. Can you suggest any other pencils that would work the same as verithins, and offer more colors? Again I am looking for a hardcore pencil with vibrant colors for fine details that does not blend.
