Paper is always the deciding factor for colored pencils. Any pencil can be glorious on the right paper and horrid on the wrong one. Unfortunately with coloring books we don't get to choose the paper. I find it helpful to note on the inside of the back cover the pencils that do and don't work well in a particular book, as my memory is just not good enough to remember all the combinations, since I own a lot of pencils and a lot of books. There is no real way to tell.. except to test them in the book. Some books offer a test page or a small image somewhere within, sometimes you just have to jump in to a page and count it as a lesson learned if it doesn't work out. Another thing that can help is to change your technique. It's easy to get into a habit with color application and treat all pencils the same when they are all different. For example, I much prefer to apply Polys dark to light, but Lyra Rembrandt do best for me light to dark. Dark to light helps a lot with pencils that have limited layers in them, either due to their formula or the paper they are being applied to not having enough tooth for them. It's always easier to lift a bit of color if you have to lighten, than try to cram on more depth when you have run out of tooth. A bit of workable fixative can also help in a pinch.. or a solvent. I don't personally use solvents so I try to figure out each pencil and work within it's limitations. That squeaky noise was filled tooth.. the pencil was just sliding on top with nowhere to go. A base in your highlight color (if you are using transparent pencils) or midtone color (if you are using opaque pencils) can help a ton as well.. watercolor, watercolor pencil, or either alcohol or water based marker for example. It tones the white of the paper so you don't need to lay down as much pencil to achieve a smooth finished result..without taking away the tooth of the paper. Again, test first to ensure it won't bleed through if you are in a double sided book. All that being said, the Procolour just might not be a good fit for you, and you would find it less troublesome to stick with pencils that get along with your favorite books and your personal coloring style. Nothing wrong with that, doesn't make them bad pencils, just not right for you. Art should always bring you joy, and I am a firm believer that if any product is not doing that for me, it needs to go to a new home.
I sent those pencils, and I am still enjoying your channel! I’m actually watching from Iceland where I’m doing a road trip, so it’s interesting to hear about your Norway plans. Have a wonderful time!
Hello Henny! Beautiful flowers! Yes, unfortunately, some pencils don’t layer as well as some others. Not sure, but I think I have heard others say the same thing about these. That they are beautiful pencils, with beautiful colors, but that you can’t get many layers with them. Enjoy your vacation!
