By popular request, here is my Holbein vs Prismacolor Premier colored pencils review! Are Holbeins really better than Prismacolors? Which of these two popular colored pencil brands will come out on top in this colored pencil battle?
Watch my in-depth review and testing of the Japanese Holbein Artists’ colored pencils–you can even download my free colored pencil testing chart (see link below.) I was legitimately surprised by the results!
The Holbein colored pencils are expensive–costing a lot more than the Prismacolor Premiers. In fact, their cost is more on par with the Caran d’Ache Luminance and Derwent Lightfast colored pencil sets. But I wanted to know how they compare to one of my favorite colored pencils–the Prismacolor. Do they blend better? Are they as soft and creamy? Do they have the same vibrant colors? What about their Lightfast ratings? I test all of this and more in this video!
