  • The Most Beautiful Colored Pencils In The World | Phoenixcolor Colored Pencils
    In this review we take a look at what I consider to be the most stunning set of colored pencils in the world. Right from the get go I must explain that you should probably not purchase anything based solely on nice design and packaging, however this is a review channel and it is my job to make the mistakes or find the diamond in the rough so that you guys can find only diamonds.
    When I originally purchased the Phoenixcolor Colored Pencils, I thought that they would be a gimmick set of pencils, beautiful packaging and terrible pencils, however this was absolutely not the case. Check out this review to find out more about the Phoenixcolor Colored Pencils, as well as this RUclips review you can check out the written review over on The Art Gear Guide or sit back and watch the short speed drawing video of the botanical artwork created with the Phoenixcolor Colored Pencils. Alternatively you can check out the still images taken of the artwork over on The Art Gear Guide, you can click on the images, enlarge them and inspect at your own leisure.

    Harry - we can see just straight reviews about art supplies on many channels. The personal aspect of your channel not only sets it apart, but is beneficial to many. It is this personal touch that not only is beneficial to you but to your viewers. Giving support to others is a great gift . You have stated how meaningful the support you’ve gotten has helped you. The giving of that support has helped me and many others. I pray daily for you and your family. I feel a genuine concern for all of you as well. The adage “ I gained more than I gave” is so appropriate. Giving from the heart benefits the giver as much as the receiver.

I think the most important thing however is to follow your heart/gut/instinct or all of the above because you need to enjoy what you do and I can always tell how passionate Hary is about what he does and how much he cares and that is the most important thing of all! x

    The reason why the gray box includes such a combination of colors -- For that box, on the cover it reads 'Low of Heaven and Earth', that's why it includes blue and brown colors. On the spine of the box, it says it includes 'x sky colors, x earthy color, x human (skin tone) colors', because, in Chinese philosophy, the 'Law of Heaven and Earth' refers to the principle that human should live and behave in harmony with nature - heaven and earth. That's why this box includes the colors of sky, earth and human skin.

      that is very interesting. On another review, commenters said that the Red, Green Yellow and Blue boxes said North South East and West, and the writing in the corner was the kind of animal pictured. And the black/neutral box said CENTER and the Law of Heaven and Earth thing, but didn't go into the kind of detail you listed
      I saw a video about Chinese zodiac once, personalities, and even blood types and all of that affects your personality. But they had 5 elements instead of the 4 we're used to seeing. I think they had Wood and Metal instead of Earth. Which element you were had to do with what year you were born in, or the last digit in the year.. So you could be born in, say year of the Rooster, but not have the same element as every other person who also was in year of the Rooster.

      But earth is there, they are phases of change that influence each other. These include earth, metal, wood, water and fire.
      In the zodiac sign, there are yearly months and day animals. Of which one is always a bit from the character,
      so the year zodiac sign is the rough basis, on it the month builds zodiac sign and then the day zodiac sign.

    Hello Harry, thank you for the review.
    I would like to say that honestly, the only things that bothers me, personally, are mean people and obv adverts (lol, just tryin' to play down, sorry).
    No, seriously talking, I can't really understand what's going on with that kind of people that are being rude by saying you those things.
    Nobody is forced to watch your videos and nobody is paying you for the work you do and the contents you provide us, which is a lot and a precious source for many. And we can never thank you enough for this.
    And I instead enjoy watching your full reviews, from the start to the end.
    I enjoy when you are telling us more about the history and names about the artists' supplies companies, and I enjoy when you are updating us about you and your family because, after many years watching you and talking to you in comments time to time, I think I and a lot of people care. We care for you, for Amelia, for your family, even for Koda.
    People get to connect and that's the beautiful side of this platform, which makes it different from being a mere, impersonal dispenser of videos produced by bots.
    So I hope you will continue to feel comfortable here, and free to say what you wish to say in your video. If someone doesn't enjoy that, can skip further or look somewhere else :)
    Many hugs
    (Edit: the grapes artwork is just amazing)

    it's the personal touch that made me subscribe to this channel rather then just googling new reviews from time to time. I always find it interesting to find out what kind of people my favourite RUclipsrs are.
    And I agree with other comments, you can use timestamps for those who want to skip straight to the review.
    As for the pencils, I've been eyeing them on Aliexpress for a while, wondering if the gorgeous design would balance out the fact I wasn't sure if they were any good. So I was overjoyed to see you review them!

  • @olgasilivra6576
    @olgasilivra6576 2 года назад +8

    If you are curious about the Chinese on the packaging, here is what I could figure out:
    (I apologize for how long this turned out)
    On the spine of each box are characters for the season that they represent, and the type of colors inside:
    Red is "Flowers of Summer" (Red Fire 20 colors)
    Green is "Air of Spring" (Green Trees 20 colors)
    Yellow is "Sentiments of Autumn" (Gold Earth 20 colors)
    Blue is possibly "Remainder of Winter", because the character 余 means "excess, leftover", but I'm unsure if that's the right way to connect it to 冬, which is Winter. (Submerged in Water 20 colors)
    Black is "Way of Heaven and Earth" (Heaven 5 colors; Earth 9 colors; Human 6 colors)
    The character in the circle beneath "Phoenixcolor" seems to be three characters, 东飞鸟 (dōng fēi​niǎo), "Flying Bird of the East", though I'm not sure what it's referencing.
    The front of the boxes have a character indicating a side of the world associated with that color in the middle and an animal associated with that side of the world pictured. The name of the animal in Chinese and English is printed in the bottom left.
    In ancient Chinese mythology, each side of the world had an auspicious beast-protector, the color of the beast matching the color of soil in that part of China. Each beast also corresponds to a specific season and element.
    So the red box is "South" (南), and pictured is the Vermillion Bird of the South (it is different from the Chinese Phoenix, as the Phoenix is multicilored rather than just red, which might be why they chose the phoenix as the brand name). The Vermillion Bird, as the other beasts, is a Chinese constellation. As reflected in the box, it represents the color red, the season or summer, the element of Fire, and midday.
    The green box is "East" (东), and pictured is the Azure (or Blue, or Green) Dragon of the East. Its color is, of course, green, its season is spring, and it also represents the element of Wood and dawn. There are several characters meaning various shades of green and blue-green that can be used for the color in this Dragon's name, and the one used on the box is 苍 (cang), meaning a deep, ashy blue-green.
    The yellow box is "West" (西), and pictures is the White Tiger of the West. Contrary to the box it is used on, its color is White. Its season is autumn, its element metal and it represents dusk.
    The blue box is "North" (北), and pictured is the Black Tortoise of the North. The characters for its name 玄武 (xuanwu) translate to "Black/mysterious warrior", the second character being the same one used to indicate Japanese samurai. Its season winter, its element water, and its time midnight. While contrary to the box it is pictured on, its color is black, it's also worth saying that the actual character for blue (青) can sometimes mean black, so that might explain the color choice.
    The black box is "Center" (中). The mythological beast representing the center of the world is supposed to be either a Yellow Dragon or a Yellow Qilin (a dragon-unicorn type of mythical creature), its color being yellow (hence the yellow on the box art, I suppose), its season being midsummer and its element being Earth. However, almost none of this matches the art on the box.
    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to figure out what exactly the two birds are supposed to be, though the feathers on the top of their heads make them look a lot like stylized phoenixes.
    However, I was able to find out that the name on the box, "The Way of Heaven and Earth", is taken from a poem from the Book of Rites, one of the fundamental Confucian texts. My Chinese is, unfortunately, not good enough to understand what the poem itself is about, but the phrase "the way of heaven and earth" has since come to mean "interconncetion between Yin and Yang", or "the natural flow of the world". This being said, I assume it is safe to surmise the black and white birds represent Ying and Yang.
    As for the characters on the pencils themselves, you are absolutely right and they do indicate pigment names.
    The ones above the circled character indicate the pigment number.
    For example, the bright green pencil in the end of your review is 绿十一. 绿 (lǜ) is green, and 十一 (shí ​yī) is eleven, so it's Green 11. The pigment name is under the circled character, and on this one, it says 柳芽 (liǔyá), meaning "Willow Sprout".
    The dark green pencil behind it is 绿十一 (lǜ shí sān), so Green 13, pigment name 老竹 (lǎozhú), "Old Bamboo".
    From what I could make out in the video, the light green pencil you used on black paper seems to say 萌 (méng), meaning "fresh sprout", and the blue says 天青 (tiānqīng), meaning "sky blue", fitting with the cloud pattern. The white says 皓 (hào), meaning "luminous", but also used in conjunction with "white teeth of youth" or "snow-white hair you the old".
    From what I can tell, some of those color names are traditional color names, which have now fallen into obscurity, though I am not too sure about this. For example, the beautiful turquise-ish pencil that you showed a close up of is 秘色 (mìsè), literally translating to "secret color". It indicated a delicate jade green color, and it was the color of the glazing of Celadon porcelain, produced in China starting around 14th century BCE, and later in Japan and Korea as well. The specific proportion of iron required to make the glazing was difficult to achieve and thus a secret of the trade, hence the "secret color". In fact, if you type 秘色 into Google search, most results will show you various porcelain ware! Incidentally, this pencil's color number is 碧之九, or Jade 9.
    碧 (bì) means "jade", specifically "blue-green jade", 之 (zhī) is roughly the equivalent of "of", which is why this character is all over the packaging, and 九 (jiǔ) is 9.
    Thanks again for the review, the beautiful artwork, and I hope you keep enjoying these pencils! And I totally agree with you, I would never want to use them as well!
    Looking forward to your new videos!

      Hey Olga, this is so fascinating! Thank you for going to the trouble of explaining this. I'm in Australia and often purchase items off Aliexpress. These pencils came up as a suggestion so I came here to RUclips to see if anyone had anything to say about them. I was already thinking of buying them. After seeing Harry's review, I knew I'd buy Them. But this story is the cherry on top. I just copied your text so I can typeset it and print it on card to include with my set which should arrive in the next couple of weeks. Excited!

They'll never be happy so leave them in their spitefull, mean and rude wee corner. Do what makes you happy. Its been working just fine up to now. They're being a bit of a bully tbh.

I hope you reconsider the decision to avoid chatting about you, you family and just how your life is going. I enjoy watching your videos and enjoy hearing about your life and all that that entails! There are many reviews on the Internet. Tell them to pack off and find someone else to pester! You be you Harry, a one of a kind all around decent human! We tune in for you and your opinions and life experiences. I hope you continue to create and share your art journey with us ALL OF THE JOURNEY! Thank you sir for all you do.

For my daughter college was a new start and has been such a positive time after school. Take care and please don’t stop letting us get to know you and your family stay safe.

    I was already tempted just by the beautiful packaging, knowing the pencils are good doesn't help my efforts to resist at all!! Darn it!! This whole "being a financially responsible adult" thing is really hard 😭
    As to the commentary re: your personal updates... Long, rambling commentary below:
    As others have said, this is your channel. You get to decide how you want your videos to be, and if people don't like it they can just skip ahead. A compromise could be to leave a time stamp for when the review starts, to make it easier to skip ahead (but, honestly, people can skip ahead themselves too, it's quite a reasonable skill to expect of one's viewers). I do have to confess that I have, on occasion, been a bit concerned that perhaps your daughter might not want her personal struggles publicly talked about to the degree of detail they sometimes have been in the past, but I wasn't sure whether it would be appropriate for me to say anything (and assume that you didn't have your daughter's permission felt a bit weird, knowing how keen you always are to treat everyone kindly and respectfully - my apprehension was probably in large part a result of seeing _other_ parents online treat their children's privacy as irrelevant or nonexistent, which is something I take great issue with in re: to internet culture in general).

    Harry, I agree with the others, if people don't like something, they are free to not watch and follow millions of others around the world. You have nearly 21, 500 people from around the world following you, thats amazing. Be you, do what you do and what you bloody want to mate! You are so helpful and kind and never worry about others that criticise you. As we say in Australia, tell them to " bugger off mate"!!! You bring joy and useful information to everyone who "chooses" to watch you on RUclips. You are not forcing anyone to watch or follow you. Listen to positive people, surround yourself with happy, positive people. Go for it mate, do whatever you want. Loren Melbourne xoxo

    Harry, I disagree with the viewers, who want you to get right into the review. I watch RUclips on my tv, first thing in the morning. I start my day with you. If I invite you into my home, you must be a friend. Friends often tell their friends about their families and life in general. For those who don’t want to here what’s happening in your life, tell them to fast forward until they see the product you are reviewing. I myself want hear my friend visit with me.

    Thank you! Amazon Tammy has also translated the boxes, and the colours. The names and numbers are listed on the pencils, and inside the boxes. I have had mine since August, and love them. The box names, she has translated as: (green) Wood : Azure Dragon, Breath of Spring, (red) Red Fire, Rose Finch, Blooming Summer. (yellow) Gold Earth, White Tiger, Essence of Autumn; (blue) Distant Water, Black Tortoise, Out of Water. The pencils are named in colour groups, then a number. The company won a prize for design. They took 2 years to research and design the set. Each pictogram is an element of Chinese tradition....Great review. Miss your chat. Stay well. Oh, and they play well with the Nyoni's in my opinion.
