This is a color pencil template that I made myself and for myself. The reason why I did it is because, I have 4 brands of colored pencils and I want to test their quality and pigments. Well technically, I have 5 brands, the prisma color, but they aren't enough in color and they're very old. Back on track, another reason why I made this template for myself because, if there's any trouble I have art-wise would be coloring, so as I said before, I want to test out the brands' quality and see which one do I prefer, as I tested them, it was quite the experience and allow me to explain it from the brands listed up to the ones down:
-Crazy Art: The time I have with them was just bad. The reason why it's bad is because, the pigment was poor and they don't perform well when I want to do some solid coloring. I had a hard blending the colors together. Unless I was doing it wrong, I'm not buying those color pencils again or tell my aunt how bad they are, if I have the nerve to do so, because that's where I got them from.
-Crayola: I had a much better time with that brand. The brand has much better pigment, texture that I use to do some solid coloring and they have some smooth coloring when I use. When I try merging two colors together, they became one color like paint. I'm not sure if I want to keep on using that brand though. The reasons? Well, first of, they're very old, I had them since before I was born. Second, they're primarily for kids and not something for professionals, at least that's what I heard. Lastly, they're not perfect, though they blend together much better than the Crazy-Art pencils, the individual colors are still noticeable unless, I'm doing it wrong. I know that's it's okay to use kids art supplies for art and they are my favorite when I tested their pigments and quality, but can I really trust them for quality art work and art projects? What are their downfalls, the flaws, cons?
