Review. New Derwent Procolour pencils.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 жов 2017
- In August 2017 Derwent released their new line of coloured pencils. Here I present my thoughts on the new Procolour pencils including a fully coloured picture of the cute pair of chicks from Hanna Karlzon's 'Seasons'.

PETA, the page you showed as an example is absolutely beautiful. I love how you did the background. You are so talented and amazing at what you do. I would love to see a tutorial on how you do backgrounds. Thank you also for the review on the new set of Derwents.
That page you colored is so beautiful!! I'd love to watch you color something like that.

Di Monty ?
That coloring in seasons is WONDERFUL 😍
Wow that page is gorgeous would have loved to see a tutorial on that especially the background I have never seen any artist get the same finish as you do no matter what pencil you use it is amazing you have some magic touch 😜✨💕 Tanya X
Dan Schmith that page was definitely gorgeous! I'm thinking she needs to buy another copy of the book just so she can do a tutorial. 😉
There is a video on her channel where she shows how she is coloring this particular picture.
Your cvoloring of the chicks picture is beautiful. The white of the flowers is so nice against the background & chicks. Beautiful work & color choices. ❤
Love your picture, especially that background. Wow! I feel so inept at doing backgrounds. Did order these pencils, now to try and reproduce your picture.
Peta, I hope you are doing alright. Haven't seen any videos up in a while. Hope you are back soon. Happy New Year! May you have a blessed New Year.
Such a helpful review, thanks Peta. The verdict is that I think I need them!! 😁
Your coloring pages are so beautiful! I love to look at what you've done.
Awww, Peta, that page you coloured is so beautiful and realistic!
I am planning to get a set of these either in Dec. or Jan. I am looking forward to using these pencils.
Beautiful picture, just love the colors.
I ordered theses pencils but have not received them yet. So glad you are reviewing them.
In Melbourne, both Eckersley's and The Art Shop have them in stock now. Only sets though, no singles at present.
Good to know. Thank you. :)
all those pages are beautiful!!!!😍....right now,I will go to amazon and order this!!!!THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!😉😙😙
Thank you for the review. Have a nice day. 😊
For Australians these are now available at Eckersleys but currently online only.
Tried procolour still like the colour soft, and the lightfast pencils a little bit better.
Hi Peta, I am really happy that you like your pencils that much! I seem to have a love and hate relationship with Derwent pencils and these are no different. Thanks for the nice review!
Andrea Motta
Me too😊. I adore Inktense and their watercolours are good but with other brands now on the market I find Derwent, my childhood loves, don't seem to compare with colour intensity.
Beautiful colors. I've tried many budget friendly color pencils but they just don't compare to the nicer, more expensive ones.
ty for your review Pita, wish they had gifted you a set
me too. i think I deserve it after boosting their sales of Inktense pencils. :)
OMG ... stunning work. You have such a beautiful skill. I dont like what I coloured anymore....
Thankyou for this review Peta......I’ve just bought a set of them n hoped they would b ok 😊
You might find it helpful to colourcode some brand-identified tabs or formulations? There are some really durable ‘vellum’ ones that you can write on.
Petra you are such a wonderful artist! Love the page you showed. Excellent detailed review. I love the harder pencils so might have to give these a try.
great review and the page you have done is so adorable 😍 I got the pencils because the colors are different from my other pencils and I quite like them.
I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year. And I hope you get better soon. Hugs from Germany.
I got these from Dick Blick for $119 USD. I totally agree with Peta's review. They are soft, but not as soft as Prismacolor Premier. I also have Polychromous, and I like these almost as well. (I'm not an artist, just a beginning colorist who truly loves pencils that come in many, many colors.)
I am using them to colour in Ivy and the Inky Butterfly at the moment. i quite like them but it is a matter of getting used to what they can do.
I would LOVE to have a set of these.
I have arthritis and found the procolors too hard to use, plus I didn't find them pigmented enough in the paler tones. Is there a tutorial coming for your gorgeous chicks? Would love to see it
Hi bluebell skye, have you found a pencil you really like? If not, I recommend Derwent Coloursoft. I have arthritis, too, and had a hard time finding the right thing, so I bought lots of open stock pencils to try out. My dream would be Caran d'Ache Luminance, but that's out of my price range. A close third is Prismacolor Premier. I'm always interested to hear what works for other people with arthritis.
I'm sorry but I didn't do a tutorial on the chicks. i did spend some time working out the colour scheme on a separate piece of paper but I can't find what i did with the notes. Sorry.
That was an excellent review, full of great info. I think I am sold! I have the big set of Inktense so I can live without the Durer's for now I suppose.
I hope everything is well with you Peta! Miss you!!
Thank you. I hope to be back this year.
Gorgeous colored page, Peta! Love your reviews, so full of detail, I know exactly what to decide when I watch your reviews!
Thanks, as always, a great, really useful review. I saw that Dick Blick is carrying the sets, as well as open stock as of today. I was waiting to see your review before I invested. I may start with a 12 or 24 set to see how I like them.
Great video Peta 💜 I got these pencils a few weeks ago and they’re fab. Please do a colour along using these pencils 🎨
I am thinking of doing one but i will hold off for a bit to give other people a chance to purchase them too.
So beautiful love your work keep it up
I have the Prismacolors and some Polychromos... I love the Prismacolors so much, but I hate to constantly sharpen them. The Polychromos keep their point, but I don’t like how they blend and the colors are not as vibrant. Blend the Procolours like the Prismas or more like the Polys? I am struggling with the decision what I want to buy...
Creative Jessy With the quality issues of the Prismacolors, you may want to take the plunge for the Procolour line.
I'm curious what decision you made. Did you get the Procolours and if you did, are you happy with them? Or did you find another brand that you liked?
Do you like the Derwent colorsoft? I have a 36 set not sure if I should add more. I do Howe’s like the sounds of these. I also have Faber Castel polychromos and Prisma color priemer. Love your tutorials beautiful work. 💖
Where'd you go? I miss your videos.
Yeah, I had the same result Peta trying to find them from Brisbane. I am over in the UK at the moment and going to Jacksons Art while I am here to decide whether I get these or Albrecht Watercolours. I can't afford both! Decisions decisions!
58Kym I have the same doubt ???
Sara Campana What do you think at the moment? Are you leaning in any direction?
Thanks Peta
5:26 My own ideal pencils would be Polychromos for feel and quality, with the Prismacolor color range! ;-D
Thank you for the info. You colored a beautiful first picture with these pencils! I know you referred to the darker green in the background as "bottle green," but that isn't the technical name. Might you recall the green you used? Maybe cedar or racing green? It just looks so unique, so I'm curious. Thanks!
You are correct! I am used to calling that shade bottle green as a similar colour by that name is part of my Derwent Artist set that I love. the correct name for this colour in the Procolour series is Racing Green.
Have you seen the new posca pens.I saw a review on them on color with claire.
Holy cow that page is amazing .....I have a pencil addiction I do not need more pencils no no no no no no yes
Swatch book goals!!!!
YESSSS!
Thanks for your helpful review Peta. Do you know if the colours are the same as the Coloursoft? Love the video of the rats too, my son has two of them, they make lovely pets, and just love company.
HI Jenny. Rats are great little people. Unfortunatley we lost one of our dear ratties a few weeks ago. Akio (the black hooded downunder) died in my hands after fitting in her cage. She was only a few weeks off two years old. We buried her with a miniature rose planted over her grave. The first roses are just starting to bloom. Emi has fully recovered from her surgery to remove a tumour. We are doing everything to make sure she doesn't get lonely. As for coloursoft... i only own about a dozen of those so I can't tell you for sure.
I love these pencils I only have the tin of 24 though and I also have a tin of 24 coloursofts, a tin of 24 polychromos and a tin of 72 arteza pencils
Those pencils look to be awesome but honestly I think they're too expensive for coloring books. I'm a coloring fan, but I wouldn't spend 200€ for that set, unless I'd sell works. But lucky who can buy them just for fun. Personal opinion with no polemical intention.
Annalisa G. hmm-- price on Amazon has come down dramatically
If you are in the US, Blicks had them on sale for $119
I said the same thing oh about a year ago and bit the bullet and bought very expensive set of coloured pencils. did not regret it. You are just being honest lol but then again I have a colouring addiction
I disagree. If you experience fun and it is satisfying, it wouldn’t matter if you use if for ‘just’ a colouring book. Just my humble opninion ;))
I have a coloring addiction too I’ve done things horrible degrading things to afford this pencils but they’re so worth it
Hi Peta, The Art Shop in Melbourne has them
Desiree Farry how much?
Martusia26 The tin of 72 is $149.95 plus postage if your buying on line

The pic is gorgeous.
Thank you!

Hello again Peta.
I wanted to mention to you that through the process of coloring my book, in the all-book challenge, I had decided that I was going to use pencils on all of the pages as I colored the first page in pencil for a review. I had also decided that I was going to try for color intensity. My meaning that I was going for full burnishing on most of the page. I discovered that through this process, I'm on page 10 of 24, I am enjoying a medium hardness in the cores. I prefer the feel of oil based pencils best. Prismacolors are FAR too soft and smear too easily. I know that you really love your Polychromos pencils. Would you say that they might be one to try, with my pencil taste? I know that they are VERY expensive. They are less than Holbeins. (They were listed for $575 USD).
I've got 15 pages to go, so I had better get back to it.
I love what you do. Your instincts are incredible. Your videos are just the most calming and relaxing to watch. I believe that your voice is a HUGE factor in that.
Thank you.
Thank,
Mindy
Mindy Lafler I'm not sure what pencils you were quoting for the price? Just now, for a set of 150 Holbein is about $300 (all US prices), the procolor are $109 for 72, and polychromos are $159 for 120. It's really hard for anyone to recommend pencils for you, was we all have such differing opinions on what we like in pencils. If you're wanting to know about polychromos, may I suggest you go to an art store or an online store like dick blick and buy a few open stock to try? That way, if you don't like them, you're not out a lot of money.
Derwent pencils I find to be very expensive in Canada. Prismacolor has the market in North America 150 pencils for $130 CAN. I personally think a 72 pensil set is enough for anybody. Derwent's come in 72 pencils, but at the cost of over $150. The Procolour cost is at least over $160, the Artists and Coloursoft are a small bit under. I like my PC but was looking for something a bit harder that I could control better, so I know these prices and know I would go for the Procolour since I don't know the hardness of Artists pencils. I like Verithin the control and hardness, but they are not a universal pencil, having a specific purpose they do very well, they are not bendable. Derwent really is pricing themselves out of the NA market, not that they were in. They have no begginer or intermediate pencils, never mind having some and pricing them appropriatly. Right now in Canada the 'Black Widow' pencils seem to fill the begginer to intermediate range at an affordable cost.
Wonder what the difference is between these(procolors) and derwent inktense pencils?
Thanks for sharing!
Great review.
For the price, though, I'll stick to FC Polychromos.
polychromos is still my favourite pencil but i do want to experiment with these a bit more.
Doreen Dee haha, there's not much difference in price between polychromos and these procolor. Remember, Peta's in Australia, its more expensive there. Also, the prices for the procolor have come down-only $109 US for the 72 at present and $159 US for 120 polychromos so not really that much difference.
tammynwes that's my point. Polychromos are much better, light fast, etc for the same price
Another very helpful review! I received my set about 2 weeks ago. Swatched them right away but just now starting to color with them. I do like how they lay down. Would love to see a tutorial on them. BTW, do you have any tutorials on the use of the Derwent Artists? My husband gave me a set for Christmas last year but I don't know how to use them effectively...
Iaven't as yet. Though i love those pencils. They were my original Artist quality pencils given to me by my husband (you and me both share great taste in men!) 29 years ago. The reason I haven't done a tutorial is because most people don't own a set. And those who use Prismacolor don't like them because they consider them to be too hard. I would like to do one one day.
Nowday if your pen till exist there are more tutorials I think some tutorials in Spanish are awesome
72 set is on amazon UK for £90 currently,unfortunately I can’t get them as I have spent way to much money on pencils and I only colour for enjoyment I’m not that good really. Shame though.
I like the looks of the picture you colored with these pencils. Missing your videos, are you ok💐
Who's better, derwent or prismacolor?
Wow can we see how you colored that page? It looks beautiful and I'm so curious of how you did the background :)
Siri Efternamn she's said in another comment she didn't record a tutorial and lost the page where she writes out what she planned to do. What a bummer huh?
Oh no! :( Yeah bummer, that page looked like something out of a childrens book you know? She's just so talented ! And bummer for her to I mean since we are so many asking her about it hehe. Thank you for replying :)
Siri Efternamn I know! She's way talented. I actually wish she'd record everything she colors as a color along. Haha, how's that for big wishes?
Haha you and me both ! ^^
Hi Peta, could you please send the link showing which pencil sharpener you use for your derwents? Thanks !
ua-cam.com/video/AkDisaIgvWo/v-deo.html
thank you for this....
This is one of the reviews that helped me decide if I wanted to try the Procolour pencils or not. And very fortunately here in the US My favorite online art supplies store dickblick.com has them open stock, so I can get just the colors I want to augment my Polychromos and Prismacolor colored pencil collection. I don't want all of the colors, just about 30 or so. And am really excited to get my hands on them. Especially those pale colors, oooh my goodness. I love how those look on the paper. I also plan on getting some of the Coloursoft pencils too. Thank you for your honest review :)
Great review Peta, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your chick picture is gorgeous too x
You can buy these Dewert procolour pencils on u.s.a. Amazon for 139.77 US dollars
The price has come down considerably since I purchased them a few weeks after their initial release.
Peta which would you prefer Inktense or these?
Are they colourfast ?
Wich ones r best 2 use inktense or these pls&thank u. Looooove following u
Inktense is completely different in how you use it from normal coloured pencils or even watercolour pencils. To me one is not better than the other. My favourite colour pencil type is still Polychromos. Inktense is more like painting then colouring with pencils so I'm afraid I can't compare them.
unfortunately they have changed the composition of the derwent artists...I have a 30year old set and it has nothing to do with the modern ones. The older ones were much much softer, pigmented creamy and opaque...the derwent procolour are much less of all the things mentionned above compared to the old artists
139$ on amazon in tue U S.
I purchased these pencils, I was very disappointed with these pencils. I find that the feel of them are hard and not smooth. I have Polychromos and I would not put these pencils in the same sentence with Polychromos. I have stopped buying Derwent as I find their pencils are poor quality especially these pencils. I talked to someone in a store in the UK from Canada and they have said that they have had a mixed feedback. I know this is my opinion and you can try them for your self-make sure you can return them.
they are at the dollar store in canada lol
Your Facebook link is no good
Thanks for letting me know I have fixed it now
W.O.W.
my opinion is unless you are a very experienced coloerer there is no point in buying expensive pencils.
get a 5 dollar set of 72 and learn how to color then in a few years if you still color you will want better pencils.
there are people here doing amazing coloring with very very cheap pencils
Jade Zee Peta has done some very good reviews on pencils in various price ranges.
People have the right to buy and use whatever they want and can afford.
Your sound quality is horrible. So much so I couldn’t stand listening.
I hope you got your ears checked out in the past year!
