Question about color pencils

Hello,

I got a question about color pencils, I see that everybody is using prismacolors, and the works drawn using them are awesome, the bad thing, is that here in Russia I cant seem to find them at all...

Could any of you guys who use them, recomend me another brand/type with a similar feel/quality/effect (whatever)? I've recently bought a 24 box of Derwent Artists penclis ( havent tried em yet though, no time ). Has anybody used those? Are they any good or I bought the wrong ones?

Thank you!

Jin

Re: Question about color pencils

Maybe you can get Faber Castell Polychromos overthere. They are sold in Europe.

They are the best available here (Germany) because I don't get the Prismacolors aswell.

Look for a green box.

Re: Question about color pencils

Derwent is a pretty well known brand. I haven't tried them but I think they give pretty good results.
