And the color doesn't lift off the paper as well as I was hoping when I try and erase

The pencil "lead" barely marks the writing paper

They are so light that you have to press hard on the paper, just so your lines are visible,but then you ruin the paper with indentations

(paper not white afterwards, but erased for artist purposes)

Barely legible on rough sketch paper

The smoother the paper, the better results

Therefore, less paper is wasted because I don't have to print out another blank map to start over

The only problem I've ever encountered with colored pencils, especially Prismacolor, is that because the wax is so wonderfully soft, it stains the paper so you have to be careful when you are laying it out

Doesn't work at all on my cheaper quick-sketch paper

I have dented the paper to get the pigment down

Even on sheet music it felt like I was trying to write on plastic; writing on a rougher paper stock didn't work well either

Literally can hardly see the lines on the paper without pushing quite hard, which dents the paper

I love using erasable colored pencils for under-drawings, but way too many Col-Erase pencils contain inconsistencies in the lead that'll scratch your paper rather than laying down color

I just prefer a white eraser to avoid staining the paper

My suspicion is the paper or eraser I'm using, but it's stilL not a big deal if it doesn't erase completey, since it's so

Use it on rough paper with heavy pressure, take a sand block to it, and use an electric sharpener to transfer some graphite lubricant onto it

It is impossible to get a visible mark with this on smooth or rough paper

You don't have to press too hard or accidentally rip the very thin paper.

Mostly wax, worthless on any smooth paper

but I recommended the toned paper so the colors stand out

Doesn't erase as well as I was hoping.

Pencils tend to shatter a

A little bit disappointed in the quality of the wood as it breaks when sharpened

Don't erase as you would expect.

Once more I feel very foolish for trying again, as well as being disappointed once more.

but they don't erase as good as I expected them too
