  • This is a calm and relaxing follow up video to my recent Art Supply Haul. I swatch paints and pens and in this video I swatch Colored Pencils by Caran d'Ache first and then I do the same with their Neocolor Wax Oil Pastels, the ones that aren't watersoluble. I find swatching to be one of the most relaxing things ever and it often times gets me out of an art block and makes me excited to go and create! I also compare the colored pencils to other brands and give you my first impression, a small review if you will. This is gonna be a small series and Part 2 and 3 will come soon, so stay put! I hope you enjoy it!

    I have every professional artist grade brand of colored pencils, ALL full color range sets. Except for Derwent studio and Derwent Artist colored pencils.... I absolutely hate them 🤣 Holbein has been my number 1 for years! I always have atleast 2 new 150 sets of Holbein colored pencils. I get my 150 sets straight from Japan, because they are literally half the cost than anywhere else ( SPECIALLY IN THE USA ) they are around 500$ with tax for the Holbein 150 set. From Japan, I find them for 220$ to 280$ a 150 set. Derwent lightfast are my number 2, Luminance almost a close tie. Derwent Drawing pencils are only available in 24 colors... BUT THEY ARE AMAZING, earth toned 24 set, with 5mm cores of creaminess! I love using my Caran D'ache Pablo's over my polychromos for the small and sharp details, both hold a point very well. I also use my Caran D'ache Museum Aquarelle's and my Faber Castell Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils dry with all of my colored pencils together.... and wet of course lol. The Derwent procolours are nice, but only 37 of the 73 are lighfast. Same for the Derwent Coloursoft, tho I never reach for them much anyway.. very crumbley, and their cores tend to be off center... so they break alot when trying to sharpen them. Iam happy that your channel popped up on my auto-play on my studio monitors 🙂 I've been working and procrastinating since I've found your channel lol. So iam a new sub... thanks for sharing your video, and giving me a reason to procrastinate hahahaha 😆 😂 cheers 🍻

    You have good taste in colors. I own a set of Neocolor II because they can be used wet for underpainting, then dry on top. Neocolor II is opaque like gouache. I call them gouache crayons. I would like a set of Neocolor I, but holy crap, I’ve spent so much on art supplies last year.

    Ich habe mir kürzlich die ersten Luninance geholt und bin super froh, das man in Berlin viele Möglichkeiten hat sich auch einzelne Stifte zu kaufen(bei boesner zB) ohne sie irgendwo bestellen und ewig warten zu müssen. Obwohl ich inzwischen über 70 der Farben besitze, finde ich das Farbspektrum der Polychromos irgendwie besser/stimmiger(und deutlich erschwinglicher). Es ist so schwer zu sagen welche Farbstifte die Besten sind, da alle ihre Pros und Kontras haben. Holbein ist definitiv noch auf meiner Wunschliste!

    • @MoniDmajor
      @MoniDmajor  2 года назад

      Holbein ist echt super, als Tipp: wenn Du eine Kredit Karte hast dann kannst Du sie bei Amazon Japan günstiger bestellen, selbst mit Versand / Zoll Gebühren ist es viel erschwinglicher (und die Angaben für Lieferungen sind lang, aber meine Lieferungen sind echt schon nach einer Woche bei mir!). Ansonsten haben wir in Berlin echt viel Auswahl, Modulor, Boesner, Peters Art, und online auch mal Kunstpark oder Gerstaecker :) Und wegen der Marken, ich glaube echt mit allen drei Marken kann man echt nichts falsch machen :)

    I have both blacks and I can say I much prefer the luminance black because it's more black. (less shiny)
    Personally Luminance are the only pencils I now use in my artworks. All the rest is used for taking notes or quick doodles.
    I had a neocolor 1 set for years (decades actually - got it as a teenager) and they were super gorgeous but never used them. I don't know what to do with them, I think they're good for artists who do bold strokes. They are satisfying to use in any case.

    • @MoniDmajor
      @MoniDmajor  2 года назад +1

      Now that I got the luminance I don’t think I will buy any other coloured pencils in the future, I am so happy I got them! Heard many good things about the Derwent lightfast as well, but I think I will stick to Luminance and get more colours! I agree with the bold strokes and Neocolor 2, I love them but so far I have not used them in my sketchbooks but I am planning to do so soon

    Thank you for this awesome swatching session!

    The Neocolor I are great, and if you want detail, the Posca Pencils are very similar and go great together. I bought the 10 set at first to try them out, and immediately loved them, so I bought the whole 40 set. I like to colour with them. Only downside like you mentioned is they aren't great for details, so I mostly use them for bigger works or without details. I wonder how the Neopastel compare to these.
