Pros & Cons
Pros
Prismacolor col-erase erasable colored pencils are great for art projects. They are good for sketching and erase pretty well.
Suma erasers work well to erase the color if i need to do so. Premier picks up more of the paper texture, so if that's what you're looking for, you won't get it as much with the col-erasers. Scholar is more pigmented and waxy than col-erase but firmer... Read More
Using different colors to separate different things. Like foreground vs background. Tuscan red is really pretty too. The colors are rich and robust.
Cons
The pencils can not be sharpened. Making sharpening difficult.
They feel, look and act like crayola colored pencils. Pencils are completely unusable. These pencils aren't not worth it in my opinion.
The erasable claim is so inaccurate. The eraser that comes on the end of each pencil smears the color and doesn't remove it. The colors for this are very faint and are impossible to cleanly erase.
Highlights
Quality
Sharpens very well, deep pigmented colors, erasers fairly well
These are great quality and imo can be used by artists and beginners alike.
These are erasable and not as smooth
Don’t have premier expectations, and remember that using different types of pencils can serve different yet essential purposes.
Price

This was an affordable alternative to paying per pencil on ebay.
Shipping
Package came within a day very fast shipping.
Packaging/appearance
Packed well and all the same length and no missing colors!
Doubtful they are lightfast as nothing indicating this on packaging.
Competitiveness

Excellent for sketching in to make your artwork seem less precious if you have a hard time erasing your sketch lines to fix parts of artwork in the initial stages
