So Christmas is coming and I want some Colored Pencils! And.. I just don't know which brand is better. I think the Prismacolor pencils are nice but I want some opinions
*Shakes head solemnly* I wish I had this many colored pencils.

I have a pretty vast collection of Prisma coloured pencils -- I haven't used them recently, but I do remember being enthralled with their vibrancy. Unfortunately, I don't really have much experience using colour pencils outside of the Primsa colour pencils (unless you want to count Crayola and RoseArt), so I couldn't really say.
My dad had a nice collection of Zebra coloured pencils that I remember him using when I was growing up -- I remember them, because their packaging always fascinated me when I was younger. It was a zebra print box, and that was spectacular to me as a toddler. I've also seen him use them during my years, and I know he prefers them.
From what I have seen, the Zebra colour pencils have a kind of pastel look to them, but then again, my father was never an artist that pressed hard when using his tools -- he always valued the longevity of his items by making sure to treat them gently.

Thanks for your opinion! That helps a lot.
I'll be the first to admit that my colored pencil game isn't nearly as strong as my other media, but I have a small handful of Prismacolors and they seem to be high quality. (I'm just so nervous about pressing down hard enough to get a good solid line. And I can never sharpen them without breaking the leads!)
But if you ask any casual artist about colored pencil recommendations, they'll tell you "Prismacolors." That said, I guarantee there are other lesser known brands out there that are just as good. I know prismas are pretty good for blending, which makes them valuable for realism, but if you're intending to try a flat or cell shaded look, maybe you don't need them. Good luck in your quest!
