I grew up in the 1970's. The pigments on crayons used to be much stronger. It was lovely. By the 80's, it was cheaper to use less pigments and more wax. Very, very upsetting to go from a medium that had the vibrancy of oil pastels, to now a dull candle. Love your videos!
I noticed that too. I grew up in the 60's and remember the beautiful colors. I tried some crayons and found they didn't have the brilliance I remembered.
Yes, I'm being dramatic. I've always wondered how people made crayon art look good. Now I work at a daycare and this is pretty useful information to pass on to the older kids.
I resonate with this so much. I hated crayons as a kid (and still now, honestly) because they didn't leave the kind of coverage I wanted even if I pressed very very hard, and colored pencils on textured paper... (I'm getting better at trying not to hate it). I love this idea. You are a very clever person, and I'm glad to have stumbled on your channel. :)
I also have never liked crayons but I have always loved coloured pencils. Another bonus wit crayons is that I break it with 5 seconds of colouring! Ah the dream
Kyra Delemarre uplift not tear down treat others how you would want to be treated 😊✌️ or if you don’t have something nice to say keep it to yourself unless it’s in helping others god bless I actually enjoyed this as well have felt the same way about crayons and this I never thought of doing so I guess it did help someone learn something new. So thanks for sharing I enjoyed it and I’m sorry you didn’t but why not just put a thumbs down instead of a condescending comment? I am not tying to be rude just trying to bring light where needed ❤️🙏😊✌️
@@michelledalessandro80 I am so sorry, my comment was meant to be a positive one😅 I only meant to say that even though you in your video said that the video wasn't an important one, but I really enjoyed it and it actually inspired me to learn how to draw.

It was a compliment, respectfully stated. Please save your preaching for an actual rude comment. I hate that kyra had to apologise for no reason
This is a Grade-A art tip that ive heard from literally no one else before and now I'm glad I've seen this even though I will never put it to practice.
Why don't you go to the store, especially since back to school supplies like crayons are the cheapest they will be for the next year. Get some Dollar Store coloring books and have some fun. There's no reason why you can't put this information to good use. The only thing blocking you is yourself
I’m 57 and have been an artist all my life and today you have taught me something I never e knew or thought of. Scraping the wax off the top layer of crayons. Thanks for that! I will now go unearth my crayons from my studio and start coloring!
when i was in elementary school, my classmate taught me to scrape off the wax residue using a ruler so that the colors would look smooth. God bless her
More people have practice with crayon than probably anything else, so pushing yourself to change it up is great practice if you don't want to buy new paints like watercolor. Also being able to work with unique material is a great artist trait to have, no one can really copy your work!
running it through a laminator (use grease proof paper to protect it) melts the wax nicely too and intensifies the colours if pastel is not your thing.
I almost got held back in the first grade because of this. I was having a hard time staying in the lines, turns out I needed glasses. They told me to outline it but gave me absolutely no explanation but outline. If you're a first grader and you've never heard the term "outline" before, where do you think you put the outline? That's right! I did it on the outside of whatever I was coloring. They had a meeting with my parents and everything. I was pissed. Like, you gave me absolutely no explanation at all except to outline it and I did outline it you just didn't tell me that the outline should be inside. I was a very literal child.
I think you're not weird and neither is your face. Your art techniques are very well discovered. Don't ever change! I really like this video, and your process of mashing the tooth of your paper is fab!
"I am gonna go live my life and color some stuff with crayons and watch The Office and drink some coffee like an ADULT" - random lady I found on RUclips that I now want as my friend
Dude I just went out and bought Crayola crayons because RaeDizzle did the Mona Lisa with them and I love crayons and YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON I HAVE EVER MET (well only on RUclips and this is the first time and this is an old ass video but still) THAT DID THE BANGY THING WITH THE PENCIL ERASER END! This is such a moment for me. I feel like I can now die knowing that there is order in the universe.
In my younger years, I always use watercolor and oil pastel because they have a more vibrant effect. But then, when I bought a box of crayons (just like yours in the video), I think it is pretty badass coloring tool. Maybe it's the preferences, but I kind of like the textured effect of crayons.
I get to be 66 and I’m still coloring. I love it. As I’m watching your video I’m laughing at some of your comments because it fits me perfectly. I really get you.! Watching you is enjoyable and I love your techniques. Keep coloring, I’ll always color. 😆
I got this randomly in my recommended section. I gave it a watch and learned something I didn't know I didn't know about crayons. Thanks for the tid bit.
i have watched this entire video and i am a 40 year old man with 3 kids lol. i found it to be exactly spot on for not only teaching my children how to color properly, but from a person who has Kandy painted Lowrider cars and i have lowrider coloring books. we have paint jobs so intricate and i wanted to be able to paint the colors onto these special lowriding cooking books just as if we painted them in life. Phenomenal tutorial. Thank you so much.
I’m so glad that I found someone else that used to do this! I felt like I was the only one. I figured out that you can layer the colors and make different hues and tones by layering the colors also! I used my fingernails, which was kinda gross mind you, but it got the job done.
I used to rub a folded sheet of paper over the finished piece to smooth it but retain the opacity but I can totally see this being a future me thing too
This changed my life fr. I recently took up coloring which was weird for someone who typically creates full character pieces. But this. this keeps the quality AND the fun
Me looking around her room: Black...Red...Black...Red...WAIT IS THAT GREY!?!? nope...black... Also me realizing that even her drink is Black and Red: 👁️👄👁️ Woooooooah......
OMG, I am an old man over 75 & back in the 1950's I used my pencil eraser to enhance all of my drawings. I always got an A on those papers. What I couldn't figure out is why the other kids didn't pick up on it. I got many blue ribbons for my coloring back then. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks ever so much. Wow! Why wasn’t I taught this in kindergarten. I always achieved straight A’s in math and science but as a kid, likely the only kid, who could fail colouring in primary school. Until recently I hadn’t picked up a crayon in decades. I had even forgotten the way they taste. Your excellent tutorial has raised my recent level up to a solid D. I’ve become a closet crayon artist when the laboratory door is closed and nobody can see me. However, I still have the urge to peel the paper off of crayons and have recently had an urge to eat paste. Cheers from western Canada.
I spent 36 years with crayons in my elementary classroom so I had to check out your video. Sometimes you have to embrace the waxy-ness, though. There are a lot of very good resist techniques.......
I like this video more than anyone would understand. It explains why I've always hated crayons and "coloring" (though I'm an artist). Its the texture, and yes the wax bothers me too. So glad someone else understands!
Looked this up originally 2 years ago so I could up my crayon coloring techniques. Found a similar way recently with q tips. So glad I found this video again.
I got 850 awesome points. When I was in elementary school in the 80s my art teacher taught us a method where you color a design using pressure, then cover that design with a black crayon; again using pressure. You then proceeded to scratch of whatever areas you wished to expose with a penny then used a hairdryer on low to lightly melt the left over built up wax to create cool ass pictures.
I have always hated the texture of wax crayons since I was kid and preferred to work with the sketch pens. Now I may go and try this method of coloring.
I do this, however I just layer colors, usually the lighter or brighter colors first, then covered by darker colors...then I scrape out my design. I sit on a sheet and use a paint brush to wipe away the shavings , otherwise...shavings embed into everything (they do anyway). Yeah. This is awesome. I never thought I'd come across a kindred Crayon Colorer......Thank-you for sharing..my world is a little brighter now. :-)
Same. Same. That was me as a kid, with the scraping and the hard pressure. I also like to put a piece of paper over it, and iron it. Now, sometimes there is a little bleed, but overall it looks pretty dope.
I always hated crayons as a kid. Too waxy, too textured. I wish I'd known this trick. Now that your kid knows this, no need to send him to school. He/she already has all he/she needs to get ahead in life.
@@kaivickers166 And to sing. I never went to kindergarten. When I got to school and heard of this magical place where you played and sang songs and did awesome art and got a social group I felt severely deprived. I was one of 11 children so it wasn't so much sharing as a fight to the death over limited resources. Think Hunger Games, but over toys and pencils and everything else.
My lil brother used to do that with his finger nail when we were young and I couldn't stand his nails after they were so dirty.. but now he's a professional illustrator
Wow - this woman is an artistic genius. And she figured out how to master coloring with crayons at a young age? I'm impressed. I'm a cartoonist. I recall winning drawing contests as a kid but not coloring ones.
I used scissors and that’s why in preschool I got the lowest grade for handling scissors properly...also I would run around the classroom with scissors blade facing out and the handles in my hand
I'm still young, but a few years back I had tons of crayons and liked to draw with them. I would scrape the wax off too like in the video, but just with a ruler.
I hated coloring with crayons as a kid, especially on the really cheap coloring book paper that was already textured because it was so cheap! But I love the way you blended the colors and then removed the wax on the final product. Nice! I may try crayons again...soon.
I never knew this. Why did I never? I was turned off with waxy crayons by 1st grade. I never looked it up. I never sctaped it off. (My mom would have hit the ceiling, and me!) Thanks for this info!
I used to like crushing my crayons into a waxy powder and then storing it all just loose in a pencil tin. Worst child in the world. I'm glad I know how to use them properly now and also the wax removal is genius! ❤️🖤
great quote, but she is understating the things she shows in this video. quite a few really good technique and base concepts that will serve you well with any medium.
Thank you echo for teaching me a new way to improve my art this video is very very helpful towards me because i love to draw and want to get better and because of the video you helped me reach the next stepping stone in drawing

Paint thinner or oderless mineral spirits with a paintbrush will kinda melt crayon and make it look like almost watercolor.

I used to scrape the crayon wax with my nails when I was younger XD gave myself a nice reverse manicure... I’m glad I got 850 awesome points~
I did this when I didn’t want my aunt to win tic tac toe so I scratched off her x and won
Same
I did this too, so the color would come out smooth
I did that too!
sᴀᴍᴇ
I like how it look better with the full pigment, the last procedd is great.. but the full pigmigtarion look kickass!
I got 850 awesome points. When I was in elementary school in the 80s my art teacher taught us a method where you color a design using pressure, then cover that design with a black crayon; again using pressure. You then proceeded to scratch of whatever areas you wished to expose with a penny then used a hairdryer on low to lightly melt the left over built up wax to create cool ass pictures.
I suddenly have the urge to go buy a big box of crayons
Samee
omg same
Who doesn’t while watching this. I would but it’s 12 A.M.
Same😂😂
Honestly
**See's the 120 Crayola crayon box** weird flex but *ok*
Bakugou what are you doing here😳😂
Same
@Kailey Sisk SHUT IT SHITTY NERD!!!
me: Sees 120 Crayola crayon box
also me: is instantly jealous like mad
"weird flex" what does that even mean?
I did this earlier this year, it’s amazing! I used your coloring page also
I was really proud of how it looked
This is the most extra way to color with crayons and I love it
What is that smiley screen in the background. It looks sooo cute
So true
That’s Phoenix her laptop
@@enviisyk i know but how does she do that face thingy on her laptop.
@@primeguy9855 its just a diashow of pictures i think
I think it's a gif
Ok, but why was I blowing on my screen as she scratched the wax off? 🤦🏻♀️😂
Ok, so I'm not so weird now, because I did it too.
Im your 100th like
I’m your 300th like
IM NOT WEIRD AFTER ALL!!!
Same here. I felt so silly once I realized what happened.
I have always hated the texture of wax crayons since I was kid and preferred to work with the sketch pens. Now I may go and try this method of coloring.
I do this, however I just layer colors, usually the lighter or brighter colors first, then covered by darker colors...then I scrape out my design. I sit on a sheet and use a paint brush to wipe away the shavings , otherwise...shavings embed into everything (they do anyway). Yeah. This is awesome. I never thought I'd come across a kindred Crayon Colorer......Thank-you for sharing..my world is a little brighter now. :-)
I like how her hair and her clothes match the room that she's in!
I know right!
So satisfying in a way actuslly
Are you new to this channel lol
Literally everything she owns is black and red
maya villegas lol I saw it too
maya villegas it is aesthetically pleasing
I think that the red is slowly taking over your hair, gradually invading and conquering more land until your head is entirely crimson.
Galaxy Girl The Colonizers™️ be like
She comes walking over, like Crimson and clover, I think I should know her.
Same. Same. That was me as a kid, with the scraping and the hard pressure. I also like to put a piece of paper over it, and iron it. Now, sometimes there is a little bleed, but overall it looks pretty dope.
I watched this video 3 years ago, I was thinking about it today and now it's recommended to me.
My five year old starts kindergarten Monday. And now with this knowledge we will own all the other lame ass five year olds of the school 😤😂🙌🏻
Lol. 😂
I always hated crayons as a kid. Too waxy, too textured. I wish I'd known this trick. Now that your kid knows this, no need to send him to school. He/she already has all he/she needs to get ahead in life.
You're such a good mom
Blue Wren - To be fair Kindergarten also teaches you to share.
@@kaivickers166 And to sing. I never went to kindergarten. When I got to school and heard of this magical place where you played and sang songs and did awesome art and got a social group I felt severely deprived. I was one of 11 children so it wasn't so much sharing as a fight to the death over limited resources. Think Hunger Games, but over toys and pencils and everything else.
My lil brother used to do that with his finger nail when we were young and I couldn't stand his nails after they were so dirty.. but now he's a professional illustrator
Haaa... nailed it!!
Same
Ebony Minto my older sister done that with her nails.Sometimes she would use toilet paper and the sound would drive me nuts lol
Me too!!! I always used this technique when I was a kid and then scraped it off with my nails lol. It was a mess but my pictures were awesome.
I used my nails as well 😂 So glad that I’m not the only weirdo out there 😬😁
Wow - this woman is an artistic genius. And she figured out how to master coloring with crayons at a young age? I'm impressed. I'm a cartoonist. I recall winning drawing contests as a kid but not coloring ones.
Thank you for telling me this I will use those methods if I ever enter a coloring contest that strikes my interest cuz I love her
I used to do that when i was a kid and scrape it with a ruler 😂
Lol I used my fingernail 😂
I used scissors and that’s why in preschool I got the lowest grade for handling scissors properly...also I would run around the classroom with scissors blade facing out and the handles in my hand
Hahaha.......same
Owen Domingo I would use the sharp edge of the scissors.
Lolz I do that too cuz' I don't like it too when its textured🤷♀️🤷♀️🤣
I haaaaaaated crayons as a kid, for exactly all these reasons. I wish I had your crayon-hacking knowledge in primary school!
I'm still young, but a few years back I had tons of crayons and liked to draw with them. I would scrape the wax off too like in the video, but just with a ruler.
SAME
@@karosasnn same 😂 i use rulers to scrape of the wax from crayons but i dont use crayons anymore-
Im glad I came up with this method in my little pea brain as a kid, just with the plastic edge of packaging😂😅
My sister was one of the Best color artist!! Rest on Sweet Sister❤
*“I’m a badass with crayons.”*
I read your comment at the exact same time as she said that in the video. Weird.
Monica 5494 happens all the time.
Holy shit I also read it as she said it.
I think we all read this and hear it at the same time it's just RUclips Logic
I bet that impresses the other inmates.
I hated coloring with crayons as a kid, especially on the really cheap coloring book paper that was already textured because it was so cheap! But I love the way you blended the colors and then removed the wax on the final product. Nice! I may try crayons again...soon.
Yesss and then when the color and the black outline of the picture mix ughh I hate that
2:06when she said (my way)-i finished it like “my way to the HIGH WAY”😂😂
proof of "its not the item that makes the art beautiful, its the artist"
Crayons were actually originally intended for adult professional artists.
I never knew this. Why did I never? I was turned off with waxy crayons by 1st grade. I never looked it up. I never sctaped it off. (My mom would have hit the ceiling, and me!) Thanks for this info!
@serendipidus1 you really need to look that up. Because you are so wrong!
@serendipidus1 Look under "history" on Wikipedia.
Ummmm no they were specifically designed for kids. Kids even made the names for the different colors (like macaroni and forest green)
@serendipidus1 Sorry, didn't realise you were illeritate.
I never understood WHY crayons bothered me until now. It's totally the wax!
Nunya Dambidniss did they say they chewed on them?
@@emm8534 no i did not!
@Nunya Dambidniss why? why did you have to bring your negativity here?
Nunya Dambidniss I apologise for the people that didn’t understand.
Nunya Dambidniss I laughed!
She is now my new favorite artist on youtube.
I've started to teach my two year old how to color. I am going to teach her how to color like this because it's AWESOME!!
I used to like crushing my crayons into a waxy powder and then storing it all just loose in a pencil tin. Worst child in the world.
I'm glad I know how to use them properly now and also the wax removal is genius! ❤️🖤
First time I saw this, I read, "Snorting it all...".
You're welcome.
I did the SAME thing
@@PeterPanCatMan great. Now I wanna snort crayon wax.
Thank you.
@@goodolmeplant5809 Once again, you're welcome! 😎

"This video is pointless and means nothing unless, of course, you enter a lot of coloring contests and you really want to *KICK ASS* ."
*Shows this video to my child and approves*
great quote, but she is understating the things she shows in this video. quite a few really good technique and base concepts that will serve you well with any medium.
Thank you echo for teaching me a new way to improve my art this video is very very helpful towards me because i love to draw and want to get better and because of the video you helped me reach the next stepping stone in drawing
I've always heard rumors that Aubrey Plaza has a younger arty sister, but up until now, I thought those rumors weren't true.
