to find a place online where you can buy individual berol prismacolor pencils. It's a pain because all the colors I need are sold out, or not there .
The way these sites list thier pencil colors are really dumb. Random colors scroll through. You'd think they'd list it in rainbow list,noooo they list them all over the place. Make it extra frustrating to find the colors I need. Ain't going to buy an entire set to get the ten or so colors I need. Shit.
Just frustrated..
What do I have to do to find fucking non-photo blue??! Arrg. Can't drive and online pickings are slim.
Seems covid took a bite out of the art supply shipments too.

(34,069 posts)They seem to have an easy-to-navigate color selection - and they indicate the pencil is in stock for shipping, in the color you want.

I would really hate to order from multiple shops. Looks like I may be stuck doing just that. Sigh.

(49,445 posts)It's been a staple of Windows for decades but not everybody knows about it. Comes up a lot in "Top 10 Windows tricks" kind of internet lists.
There's an Apple equivalent but I don't recall what it is.

Art is my sanity
The colors I got was a huge chunk of my basic pallet. I get edgy when my main color scheme whittles down to stubs,that a pencil extender can't fix.
I try to keep up with my color useage and it sucks when you run outta colors at the same time.
I have a 300 pencil pencil case full of colors and different brands of pencils and I am as anal as you can get regarding keeping up with colors.
I'm also anal about details in my art. I strive to make it perfect replica of what is in my mind's eye.
People who see my art tell me how do you get these colors to go together?
I just have colorful intuition I guess.
