My friend Jaqui gave me a box of Prismacolor color pencils. it had alot of colors but it was missing black so i picked up some of Crayola pencils and i then discovered that two brand could make different shades of the same colors. But even with this i still prefer crayons. I take a pencil sharpener and make finner points. I think crayons are great causes cause of the amout colors.
