*Note: I've been inactive in this dA account for forever and ever, so if you have any questions or like my stuff, you can find me at my new account ([link] ).*

As you can see in the fullview, the actual Prisma combo sheet is sideways. This is so you can print the image on a standard piece of printer paper and use it as a reference while you draw.

Prismacolor pencils are excellent for detailed, smooth shading because of the many gradients you can create by finding matching sets of pencils.

In this reference sheet, I've compiled my favorite combinations of Prismacolor colored pencils. Of course, you can make many other sets of Prismas that match, or modify these to fit your specific needs.
These colors come in the 120-pack of pencils, but with a little extra blending you can make these combinations work without some of the in-between colors.

Do you have a chart like this for Derwitt polychromos? I love the one for the prisma colors and use it all the time. Thanks for sharing

Oops! Sorry about that! Try the fullview (you have to click the "Download" button), and if you still can't see it, send me a note at ~Valkeus.

This is useful...too bad that I don't have like...41 of the colors there...

I do have Crayolas too...but I don't know if you can really use them alongside Prismacolors.

hey there *waves*
i was wondering what you use to blend your pencils...
are you just bearing down hard, using the colored pencil blender, or are you using a solvent?

i love the pencils, but i can't seem to get that beautiful blending going on, like on your prismacolor beast
