Are these more like pastel sticks than pencils? Seems to be from the description. :-)

They are made from the same material as the core of the Prismacolor pencils, and can be used when a large area needs to be filled in. For instance, if you were colouring a background, using the Art Stix saves wearing out the thinner pencil.

Yes, the colors are true to the picture. The eraser end has a yellow cap and there is a green-yellow ring at the lead mechanism. It is a great mech pencil, the leads are hard and do not break. Good luck, & hope you like it.

I am an in-betweener. They show up but do not have dazzling intensity. I have bought the thicker erasables and they are more vibrant.

Hi Marissa, Thanks for your question. No they are not pastels. All colors are fluorescent - we are known for the vibrancy of our chalk markers. If you have a look at the images on the product listing you can see a picture of what the pink looks like. Unfortunately l can't add a picture to my response here to show you the other colors. They are all rich in color as well as being fluorescent. Please know, while l think you will be happy with our liquid chalk markers, if it helps, if you do buy a pack and decide that the colors are not quite what you were after, we would be very happy to fully refund your purchase. I hope this has answered your question, if you have any further concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us again. Kind regards Lilly Morrison - Inspired By Craft

I don't think the core is as soft as a watercolor pencil, I can't speak to a pastel pencil I'be used mine a few times; like them to sketch out my subject since I you can erase if you need to change something before using water of course- I hope this helps

no, and I wouldn't buy these again, I had the black warrior and thought these would be the same, but they are cheap ones, the lead is not as smooth and the wood is cheaper wood, so when you sharpen them the wood is rough and not smooth. i think its the difference between the cedar ones ( more expensive) and these cheaper ones. I think i will buy the more expensive ones next time,as these are not fun to write with.

I haven't had that problem. They aren't like the crayola pencils where you can never effectively sharpen again. These have different texture and are better/easier.

its 12, but I wouldn't buy them. The last lot I had were really nice, with smooth lead and hard wood so they sharpened nicely, these ones are cheaper wood and the lead does write smoothly. i thought t was a deal because I like the black warrior pencils, but cant wait till these are used up and I can buy something else.

I loved mine as they are smooth like the FC Gelatos. Perhaps your daughter will like them as they are not like crayons and she will treat them like art supplies.

These are much better than Crayola. They sharpen well and color well. They are however not ask nice a Blick or Prismacolor, but for the price are nice value.

I don't know for certain that they are the same material. They are a lot smaller in length and are made for the Twist-erase pencils.

I'm not an artist... Just a grown up with a rough job that entails some needed self-care (in this case, I purchased a beautiful coloring book meant for grownups by Johanna Basford). That aside, I'm finding I like a set called "Koh-I-Noor Progresso Woodless Colored Pencils 24 Color Set" much more. I don't have the problem with lead breaking anymore! They definitely cost more but I feel like it's a much better deal.

Yes, they are about a third of the size of a standard pencil. They are also thicker and triangular to prevent rolling.

Yes, absoltely! They have a very clothlike feel. I actally used a black sharpie on a few to test and even an easy to use pain pens in silver/white as well. They looked great!

I am not sure, but the ones I got from Amazon were the best pencils I've written with in a long time.

I think of these gelly glitter pens as being shimmery rather than sparkly because the glitter is finely ground. I find Stickles glitter glue to be sparkly as the glitter is more coarsely ground and reflects more light. Nevertheless, these pens are very shimmery and I am satisfied with them.

Yes. It's honestly one of the best things I got for myself for my AP studio art class. I used them the whole year and I'm still using them to this day. The pencils are rich in color and are easy to use on top of one another. I would say it depends mostly on whether she will do many projects. If she will I recommend you buy her these. If she will have a project to do every 3 weeks or so get her the 48 case. I hope I helped!
