Prismacolor
Ok soooo, these colored pencils were truly amazing. Smooth on paper, creamy feeling, it was just soothing. And they're amazing with blending and easier to get tones, light, dark,medium, hotter, colder, it's so easy! Blends are really good, especially since prisma provides lots of different colored pencil shades! I do recommended these, one of my favorites.......buttttt on the other side, not so good with easy dark shades. This is only the 12 pack so keep that in mind, I'm new to these so keep that in mind too. The dark shade I went for was hard to get, maybe because they're smoother? Idk, but yet, again, these are really good. ( tons of shades, smoother, vibrant )

Crayola
I have been using crayola all my life right after cray-Z-art which I don't recommend. Crayola have a more rough feeling when you color, and gets a darker tone, which is good when wanting darker shades! Not so easy to go from dark to light with one color than prismas though, it looks more like the same color slightly being pressed on then being pressed on harder, not the same as prismas affect. In the examples on this post, the gore part of the wolf, it was easier with crayola, the dark tones were easy to get, the texture looked good, and overall I liked it more than the prismas, but I still like the prismas a bit on that side. Other than all that, crayola was really good! I suggest both, a mix of them both looks amazing! ( darker colors, not so many shades )
