These colored pencils challenge the Prismacolor reputation of having the best colored pencils! They are a definite "must-try" for all students, professionals, and artists. Smooth color laydown. Creamy colors are strong, lightfast, and blend beautifully. The new patented core-lock rivets the color core to the outside wood in such a way that the lead cannot twist or detach, which means every bit of the lead in the pencil can be used, down to the last nub! 12 colors.
