Are These The Perfect Prismacolor Dupe? Testing Zenacolor vs Prismacolor pencils!

I think I may have found the best Prismacolor dupes on the market and today we are going to test them out, to see if my theory is correct and answer: are these the perfect dupe pencils!
I'm going to be swatching my entire set of Zenacolor pencils agains the Prismacolors, to see how accurate the colours are.
I will. then create an entire drawing using the pencils, trying to use each one in the drawing for a zingy vibrant finish.

Great comparison video, I think the prismacolors looked more vibrant and better quality but I think I would get the Zenacolors and try them out for that price! Would love to see the other comparisons you mentioned 😊

[@GemmaMorganArt]

Thank you!! I have to agree, the Prismacolor are definitely more vibrant 😊 all of the videos are in my colouring pencil playlist

[@stroodledoodles]

This was a cool comparison, I didn’t know that Zenacolor had a big set (I only have some of their watercolour pencils which I got in a mystery box)
For dupes they look pretty good!! If I wasn’t so biased for the polychromos I would try them out, especially considering the price of Prismacolors these days lol

[@GemmaMorganArt]

Thanks!! I hadn't tried any Zenacolor products before, so it was pretty interesting to try them out.
I guess I'm not so biased with Prismacolor pencils! If they were up against Polychromos on the other hand, that would be another story!!

Those who care...Swatch!
Good job. Enjoyable video and gave me what I was looking for!
Keep it up! ❤

I have a lot of top grade colored pencils collected during the years and i tested the majority of brands in the market .
I think nothing came close to prismacolor ... the only one with the same blend-ability and feel are the luminance by caran d'ache, but they are very expensive and they will remove all the defects of primacolors too basically : so you get same blendability , amazing vibrant colors , ultra opaque colors , no blooms like on prisma , no breakage like in the last mexican prismacolors .
There are other top brands of pencils but they are different and they have a different feel .
Polychromos by Faber Castell are much more expensive, overall better quality and more light fast, but they are oil based very different feel .
Derwent offer other colored pencils, some wax based, but they are more chalky and still more expensive than prismacolors .
Other artist grade brands are pretty much all oil-based because the tip break less often , no wax bloom etc but you need to change your technique when you use them , because they don't blend in the same way as prisma .... you need to work more in layers.
In conclusion : especially if you live in USA you should just use prismas cuz they are really cheap in you country , they are deal in comparison to other professional grade supplies as well.
They give you this special blend-ability that you find only in much more expensive pencils . The price is justified by was bloom , tip breakage and some colors are not lightfast but it's a trade off for the price .
If you live in europe instead prismas are expensive as much other pro-brand and are less convenient but you pay export taxes mainly ... so probably you just want to use something oil-based.

[@jojosaylor8996]

Zenacolor pencils are more like Crayola very cheap breaks alot

[@Jazzidoodle]

I agree I keep my polychromous a d lumiance

[@Robins_crow._]

Prisma colors are better and cheap for its use but try the zenacolor markers!

[@GemmaMorganArt]

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check their markers out ☺️

[@harrieth_512]

personally i've been using the zenacolor 120 set for about 2-3 years now and i was thinking about getting a different brand. can you recommend any brands?

[@GemmaMorganArt]

I love my Faber Castell pencils, so would recommend them. They are a harder core pencil, so may take a little getting used to

[@harrieth_512]

@@GemmaMorganArt thank you! i’ll keep them in mind 😊

[@fuzzydragons]

prob good for colouring book work without using the more expensive pencils

[@GemmaMorganArt]

100% I was quite impressed with them
