🎓 How to Work with Prismacolor Premier

🖍 What “Soft Core” really means

Prismacolor Premier pencils are wax-based colored pencils, meaning wax is used as the primary binder for pigments.
This is what gives them their exceptionally soft, creamy feel, especially compared to harder or oil-based professional pencils.

👉 In practice, this means:

  • color lays down easily
  • minimal pressure is needed
  • layers blend smoothly
  • transitions look softer and more natural

They are designed specifically for layering and blending.

🎨 Why a wax-based core matters

The wax-based formulation allows:

  • rich color buildup
  • smooth, even coverage
  • soft transitions between shades
  • vibrant, full-looking results

✨ This is why Prismacolor pencils are widely used in illustration, coloring and mixed media.

✏️ How to use them properly

To get the best results:

  • Use light pressure
  • Build color in multiple layers
  • Blend using lighter shades or white
  • Let the wax do the work — don’t force it

📄 Choosing the right paper

Prismacolor pencils perform best on:

  • paper with light tooth
  • illustration or mixed media paper
  • avoid very smooth or glossy surfaces

Wax needs a bit of texture to hold layers properly.

💡 Small but important tips

  • Sharpen often, but avoid very sharp points
  • Clean the tip when switching from dark to light colors
  • Work light to dark
  • Stop when the paper feels slick — it’s wax-saturated
