effect? I'm not sure what you mean.

It tells you right in the title....

And those are prismacolor pencils.

No magic tool will make you better automatically. It takes practice.

prismacolors work way better than a child's brand like crayola or something. They won't color nearly as smoothly. Just putting in my two cents. There may be other brands I haven't used that work well also but saying prismacolors are the same as crayola is just crazy if you've used both. I love my prismacolors and if you really like the look of colored pencil they're worth the investment

Prismacolor is used a lot but its expensive DX
so now I want crayolas XD [link]
and [link] so it really doesn't matter
although i will admit if you use blunt pencils, crayons, and markers results won't be as good o-o

Black-Allison - I know what it says in the title but I've asked which brands are good. And your assumption is really childish.

KyteGlory - I believe it does matter. If you use crap products, the effects just won't be as good as they could be.

Anyway, I've contacted the author and asked her since none of you know what the answer is.

Not true. Ive use student grade vs. professional grade products. The only difference is only slightly. In cheap pastels, it crumbles more easily then professional pastels. They also tend to not layer properly and mix more then the professional pastel.

The thing is that even with these difficulties, can be overcome. The intensity or something in the pencil or medium, won't be showned that much in the final product. Its really really minor difference. This is only if your willing to work with some of those minor difficulties.

So what does it mean, it all boils down to technique, knowing what in the properties of the pencils and how they work, and what you know about art soo far.

Don't believe me? Take Crayon artist for example. Crayon's with their waxy properties, are pretty hard to use, and are close to just using a plain oil pastel. But, he deals with the problems, and he still creates beautiful art.

So with that idea, the best answer is to try them out and get a feel for it.

It's not about effects. It's not about what tools you're using. It's about how you use your tools and the results you achieve from using your tools.

Get that through your thick skull and get to drawing.

Whatever you do use doesn't matter as much as knowing what to do with them. Pastels are specially tricky since you are suppose to use them as an alternative to oil paint.

Soft pastels are not the alternative to oil paint O_o and they're not tricky at all. Oil pastels on the other hand... difficult to blend as hell.

*weremole Jul 3, 2012 Professional

I thought soft pastels where just another kind of oil pastels. Sorry.
