Prismacolor Premier pencil 24 Portrait set are the most popular Portait-coloured pencils produced by Prismacolor. Each coloured pencil features a thick, soft core made from brilliant, light-resistant pigments, to ensure smooth, rich laydown and colour saturation.

The colours are easily blended, slow to wear, break-resistant, and waterproof. Each 3.8 mm core is enclosed in a round cedar casing that is lacquered to match the core.

Manual sharpening is recommended for these pencils. Clogging can be prevented in electric sharpeners by periodically sharpening a graphite pencil to keep the blades clean.
