SANFORD Prismacolor Verithin 色鉛筆 マルチカラー 36本

芯が硬いので細い線がきれいに描けます。色鉛筆画の細かい描写や最後に残った塗り残しの白い部分の仕上げに使うと細かいところまで塗れるので完成度が高くなるように思います。

塗りやすいし発色が良くて塗ってて楽しいです

鉛筆みたいに硬いです。 これなら下書き→ベリシンでもイケるのでは。 箱が紙で使用する度に下を開けて引っ張らないと画像の様にセッティング出来ません(^^;) めんどくさいので100均でケース買います。

削られていないので、最初に削る手間がかかり、ちょっと削りにくいので☆-1 でもとても描きやすい

発色は良いのですが不純物が混ざっていることが多いので塗りこむときは気を付けた方が良い

カリスマカラーを買おうかなと思ってたけどちょっと高いしこれでいいや、という気持ちで買いましたが、結局カリスマカラーは欲しくなりますね。柔らかさはカリスマよりも固め、というか色によって違うというか不安定？そして私の買った物の白には芯が入っておらず、木の枠のみでしたので不良品でした。

The tips of the pencils keep breaking. I sharpen them and they break again. They must have fallen somewhere a lot. This is very annoying.

Update: Amazon shipped a replacement box of pencils and they are all perfect, the way Prismacolors should be! Verithin pencils are hard core, perfect for detailing. Colours are very pigmented but contrary to the Premier Prismacolor, they don't blend. But that I knew and ordered with that in mind. They are great for anyone. Four out of my 36 pencils had their core broken when I first sharpened them. They lost more than 2 inches before I could even use them once! Bad batch or bad seller? I’m just very unhappy. I have used and loved Prismacolors for over 40 years. It’s the first time I am so disappointed with Prismas. I love my Verithin. They are great for detailing. I assumed because they have a hard core breakage wouldn’t be an issue like the Premier but these are worse than the Premier.

The price for these Prismacolor Verithin pencils was just right. I'd been keeping an eye on them for awhile, and this set showed up for less than $15(Fall 2012 price) so I ordered this set of 24 pencils. I love the Prismacolor Premiere soft core pencils so much I asked for the big - really big - set for my birthday. :) The only problem with the soft core, and the reason I got the Verithins is that they can hold a sharp point temporarily, if you're careful, but it's wasteful and annoying to repeatedly put a sharp tip on the same pencil repeatedly when the pencils run more than $1-2 each retail. These Verithin pencils are the answer to the problem of a sharp point which you can't get with the soft core Prismacolor pencils. These are HARD leaded pencils, as advertised. Be careful with your paper, as these will hold a point sharp enough to tear it. I recommend having a hard surface beneath your paper, etc. when coloring with these, a soft layer underneath will cause 'drag' and allow more punctures or tiny rips in your paper. I have already used these with the teeny tiny border around the pics in a coloring book from Dover, which had some very small, intricate design elements. Results were excellent! You may wish, once you try these, for more matching colors than are available, but many of these are chosen to cover a specific color 'group', such as orange-reds, crimson reds, blue-violets, bright greens, etc. Included with the colors are white, a light gray and black. THESE ARE NOT PRESHARPENED. If you prefer not to have this chore to do when your pencils arrive, you'll have to pay more for pre-sharpened Verithins. This package turns into a nice, very well-designed 'easel' for ease of choosing pencils. Be sure to open the cardboard package carefully the first time as the easel feature will be ruined if you rip the bottom tab or mangle the perforation which runs across the front and at an angle up the sides of the package. If you haven't opened this sort of case/easel before, it's easiest to slide the interior holder with pencils out of the bottom of the package entirely, then open the outer package along perforation, make sure easel feature is sturdy enough to hold upright...then carefully slide the interior case with pencils back inside. Some find this a silly or inconvenient annoyance, but having my pencils displayed point up without having to unpack or repackage them each time I use them is a plus. The barrel of the Verithin is hexagonal, which is billed as a no-roll feature, and has the location of manufacture (Mexico), color # & color name stamped into the barrel in English and French. There are several color numbers featuring a 1/2 after the digits. I'm not sure why, but those colors tend to be matches for several colors, rather than an exact match for just one color. All in all, an excellent buy. UPDATE 3/20/2013: Since I bought this package of Verithins I've been very happy with them. I really do wish I had a larger color selection, however. If the price per pencil is comparable, I recommend going straight to the 36 set, or whatever the total number of colors made for the Verithin line happens to be. These pencils are VERY useful and hold their points seemingly forever (as compared to regular 'soft core" Prismacolors. There is one small issue I wanted to mention, though it isn't a deal breaker, for sure! I tend to use more pressure than needed with my colored pencils - or any pencils, for that matter! When I apply too much pressure with the Verithin pencil, it doesn't snap the point (very good!) but it can wear through the paper (depending on quality and type, of course) in only one or two layers, which limits blending, erasing, etc., which I feel are important functions any colored pencil, hard or soft. I've learned to use them more delicately, and read an online excerpt from an art instruction book (whose name I've forgotten, so sorry!) which recommended less pressure, more layers. Seemed good in principle. It works - no more ripped pages if I am careful and patient - but it does increase the amount of time spent in adding color to some relatively small areas. Sharpening: The Verithin Prismacolor pencil is smaller in circumference than their soft core colored pencil, and can be sharpened in a regular #2 type pencil sharpener. I recommend a manual sharpener, even for the first, tedious sharpening of the pencil. A battery/electric sharpener would obviously be of great use the first time you sharpen the Verithin pencil, but if it drags or warps or causes the lead to 'bend' inside the pencil ("no - break" coatings aside), you will find yourself with 1/4 to 1/2 inch bits of colored pencil lead falling out repeatedly with future sharpenings. A regular hand-held sharpener, anything from the most basic metal blade in a metal or plastic housing to brand specific sharpeners will work for the Verithin pencils. My preferred sharpener for my Prismacolor pencils is the Prismacolor Premier Pencil Sharpener which has two blades specifically designed for Prismacolor pencils - one for the thicker soft-core premiers, the other for the Verithin or graphite pencils they make. A great second choice is the Trio sharpener by Faber-Castell, made in Germany. Not only does it work extremely well on Faber pencils, but on every other kind of pencil I've tried in it! The Faber Castell Trio Sharpener is a nifty little piece of superb engineering & design, and being made in Germany, is precise, VERY sharp & consistent. (I've reviewed it here on amazon, for more info) All in all, I am happy with my purchase of Verithin and stick to my 5 star rating. I do wish Prismacolor had a woodless pencil design such as Derwent's Aquatone (that's a watercolor woodless pencil) or Koh-i-noor's fantastic Progresso line, which are oil-based woodless pencils, regular or water-soluble. The "Art Stix" Prismacolor offers simply don't appeal to me for a variety of reasons, foremost that I can't sharpen it like a pencil. Until then, Verithin is your best bet for fine detail work in colors matching Prismacolor's other quality pencil types. An Enthusiastic Colorist in TX

Questa serie di matite ha colori identici a molti di quelli presenti nella serie di Prismacolor Premier. La differenza importante è che queste sono matite molto dure, utilissime a tracciare i bordi di lavori eseguiti con i premier. Ho letto che alcuni hanno riscontrato problemi nel temperare le matite. Effettivamente qualche punta si è rotta quando ho cercato di affilarla oltre il limite, ma tranne quelle due o tre, le altre hanno permesso di ottenere una punta molto acuminata. Devo però dire anche che le ho temperate con un temperino elettrico. Non so l'esito con uno manuale.

I've only just bought these pencils, so not used them on a project yet. However, for the price, they seem quite good and should be very useful in conjunction with the softer "normal" Prismacolor pencils and with my Polychromos pencils. As I'm sure you're aware of, other reviewers have complained of off-centre leads and broken leads. No problems with those I've just bought. Oh, and as far as sharpening is concerned, I bought this electric sharpener for £9.95 including prime delivery: Pencil Sharpener Electric and Battery Operated-Best Quiet Portable Electronic Sharpener for Pencils- Heavy Duty Office School Home-3 Sharpness Settings-3 Mode-AC Battery USB- Free Coloring Books (Black) I was more than a bit dubious but it sharpened all 36 pencils very well, and quickly. One thing though - the Verithin pencils are packaged with the colour name uppermost. I'd sharpened three pencils before I realised that I should have sharpened the BOTTOM end so that the colour description is still visible even when you're down to the last couple of inches ...
