First of all, shoutout to ADCARTATTACK for the inspiration for this video. I'm a big fan of his art and love his videos. I wanted to do something similar but comparing prismacolors and artezas expert color pencils. you should definitely go check his channel out here:    / @adcartattack  

So for my video I decided to pull a still from the show and transfer it to toned paper for the pencil test. I didn't fancy doing an original drawing and I did have an ellaborate background planned out but it would have been way too time consuming with colored pencils!

The set of 72 Arteza expert color pencils will set you back £28 and the 150 set of Prismacolor pencils is roughly £110.

Starting with the Arteza side, I'm genuinely surprised how good they felt to use. I've been using these pencils as a supplement to my prismacolors on and off since arteza sent me them last year to review and at the time I found them to be a very good affordable alternative but after completing this drawing I will be using them a lot more often and am actually really excited to get the 120 set they now have available (when it's back in stock)
The Arteza's have a great selection of colors within the 72 set and the leds are extremely firm. This has positives and negatives. Because you don't have to constantly sharpen them or worry about the led snapping, it makes the experience of coloring much more enjoyable. The downside is that they take longer to blend together, they require quite a bit more effort and layers to get a similar affect.

The prismacolor pencils in comparison are SO soft it's ridiculous. They can blend super easily. They also can cover flat areas with a thick layer of solid color really easily which makes them ideal for doing anime artwork. Ok, I made a mistake with the skin tones so don't judge too harshly on that. You can see they really stand out on the headband and orange collar with their color density. Obviously with the 150 set of prismacolor you get a much larger selection of colors which can actually be quite daunting for someone relatively new to art.

I think overall I really enjoyed using the Arteza pencils and coloring the arteza side a lot more than I did the prismacolors (literally the second pencil I used on the prismacolor side, snapped the entire led off and had to resharpen)
If you are on a budget then I can highly recommend the 72 set of arteza expert color pencils and you can definitely create some great quality artwork.
