Prismacolor vs Derwent vs Caran d'Ache


In watercolor pencils, that is. I like the feel of Prismacolor best, but they have only 36 colors.

The others have more colors (in w/c pencil specifically) and I prefer the Caran d'Ache feel over Derwents. I like the least pressure for the most slide and color intensity.

These are not inspired by upside-down buildings, they just turned out this way. I tend to like an abstract best in the same orientation that I drew it.

Drawn dry, then spritzed with water, in the Holbein sketchbook.
