    Can you get a more vibrant result like Prismacolor? Art done with Polychromos just end up looking like crayon drawings... Edit: They hid my reply below. Here it is: Thanks for the replies Jonathan-ke8yr & UTleochi. I haven't used either Polychromos or Prismacolor. I am deciding on what to buy and I am looking at different artists on youtube. Polychromos is easier to get where I live but when I see stuff made by Prismacolor-users like drawholic (also on youtube) it seems that it ranges from almost no layering to just a little bit to get good results vs artists like Lachri Fine Art using Polychromos, were there is a lot of layering involved before things start to cover the paper properly and yet colors still seem to look washed out in comparison... I might be missing something else here though. Just to clarify, I am not bashing any artist. They're all great. I am just looking for a medium where you can get more saturated and vibrant colors.

    Wrong. Pencils are built according to measurement. Your pencil has a lead diameter and a lead radius. The tip develops facets. The facets must not get smaller than a certain number and the facets must not go beyond the radius of the lead. If there's no wax then there's no preservation of the ingredients. Someone will have to keep drawing over the original drawing just to preserve the contents.
