I actually think you're super early on these color pencils because I haven't seen any artist I sub on youtube use them (unless I missed it). you're a trendsetter, tbh
Wow, you didn't have to call her that! Dont be so rude. /s
@Ruby Taylor yeah
@Ruby Taylor oh my gosh, forget it. This joke went way past your head.
@@aroidaddiction didn't sound like ya were jokin tbh
Idk but ya sounded like you just noticed that you made a mistake but 👁👅👁
@@orbit1ing the only mistake here is your face!
_they dont even come with a tin case_
GREATEST SIN
Actually I can’t believe this either 😱 not even a nice zip case to protect the pencils and display them easily
Yes thay do
Brandon Smith but not a fabric zip case which for the price I would have thought would have been better and more practical packaging.
People may freak when I say: I hate the tins colored pencils come in. I recycle them in my recycle bin or I use them to hold business cards. After I paint them of course. (but agreed, 100 for pencils and no proper holder? cheap/scandalous af
Am i the only one that hates the way pencils look on textured paper, the white dots? I love the drawing, just don't like the paper
That’s actually something I love!
Sameee
Yeah same that's why I rarely ever use coloured pencils:(
I used to dislike this look, but over time I've realised how much character and interest it brings to a piece. I think the way you view art changes as you age for most people. I love so many different kinds of art now. To me, this piece is amazing and the textured areas really make it fascinating.
I hate that too! I wish that she used a blending fluid like gamsol. Lol
I was excited to hear that they’re a soft creamy pencil, that doesn’t break when sharpening. I love the softness of Prismacolors, but dislike the wax bloom and constant breaking. It’s disheartening to see how much Posca is trying to charge for them, though. Hopefully they go down on the price one day, because I would pick them up in a heartbeat.
You can wipe the bloom with a cloth or paper towel, and you'll get a nice shiny surface
Use “smarty” colors, they’re really cheap but they’re also really soft
The breaking can be fixed by sticking the pencil in the microwave for like 10 seconds. It melts the colored part into one piece again. Just be careful putting wooden pencils in the microwave, and they can get really hot. But it does help!
Yeah, prismacolor pencils are generally shot after dropping them once. It's because they don't center the core in the barrel enough. When that happens and you drop em, you can sharpen till they're gone and the lead will fall out every f-ing time.
use tgaal sharpener as it reduces prismacolor breaking :)
I wanted to see them on black paper. I've often seen Posca pens on black paper, so I hoped that the pencils would also look good on black
Light Bulb If I may, I own a few of these, and they look nice on darker backgrounds, especially the lighter colors (thanks to the contrast)
I think they're so expensive because Posca is a Japanese brand, and importing them makes them so pricey. If you buy them in Japan, like Copics, they're probably a lot cheaper.
Comic Relief Counselor I used to see Posca pens in Daisy for a dollar fifty 😭😭😭
@@cornstarch9202 Woah what?! I assume Daisy is a store in Japan because I haven't heard of it before. Here in what we know as Canada, one marker is like $4-6 each,,, it's very disheartening lolol.
**$6-11 each
Comic Relief Counselor **Daiso :’)
@@cornstarch9202 Ohh yeah Daiso! dang, they sell them at Daiso? I only have an Oomomo (Branch of Daiso) near me lol.
I don't really "art" but I really appreciate honest reviews. You mentioned price, where you looked to purchase them, and did a great comparison against other well known brands. Also Incorporating different art techniques instead of just scribbling on paper was cool. Having a nice complete drawing at the end shows what the product can do and your skills as an artist 👍
I just discovered them like three days ago when I went to my local art store, I literaly had the same reaction: "what? Posca makes coloured pencils now?" x)
I smell other art RUclips's trying this later on..
Achilles Kacey golden mentioned them in her video she released today so 👀
Edit: wait I'm sorry if this is weird but speaking of Kasey Golden do you happen to watch her videos? Idk I just think I recognize your name/picture from somewhere lol
@@reeda5390 Yesss
Achilles haha nice!
I’m sure people who make art videos will try an art supply
Yeah, you were wrong.
I love the vibrancy of these! They do seem to blend really smooth too. I do wonder if by "oil medium" for blending they meant products you'd use for blending oil paint, like mineral spirits or turpentine, rather than an oil-based product.
Gamsol works amazing for smoothing prismacolors, which is an odorless oil paint product for thinning the paint. I'm sure it will work for all the other brands too.
I love it when she does the cat intermission, her cats are so cute
Thanks for the review. I've never heard if these. The art gear guide did a review on the uni pencils I think if you are curious about them.
two reasons i subed
1:its a art channel
2:derpy cat
I looked, and they are at about 70$ in the danish online stores. Btw I love the box, it is so pretty. And the layering is like a Japanese bento box, which makes sense with posca. But it is still to expensive for me
Like your fox picture. Your not the only one who didn’t know about these pencils, I didn’t know about them either, but my favorite pencils are prisma colored pencils.
I'm really trying to get some people to come and visit your channel again, and I'm really hoping everything is getting better with what you explained in that one video. You deserve so much recognition, your videos are always entertaining and inspiring, and your art is AMAZING. 💕💕💕💕
_Swoosh_ I'm here for the cats. I mean art.
Does having to import from japan have something to do with the high price tag? Like how copic markers are much cheaper in japan
Yes, for some reason japanese imports are way more expensive than other imports
You're gonna start a trend, as of October 13,2019 at 9:22 PM MST, you are the ONLY one with a review on these things :) You're truely a first!
Yeah that's a fucking lie, no other art RUclipsr has talked about these
If this ever ever becomes a print i eould 100000%buy this drawim in in LOVE
I seldom spend 90$ on anything, let alone pencils
Julia van der Walt i think in my 27 years old lifetime spent 89$ so far since i was baby in total
OMG I just shelled out $170.00 for the 76 set of luminanace colored pencils.
@@juliem4259 was it worth it? I've never heard of that brand...
Are you guys rich !
@@popprincess3601 I'm supposed to get them today.
I'll let you know......If I don't forget. lol shoot me a reply here and I'll def remember.
I'm so glad you're doing videos again :)
I adore the cat intermission so much!!!!!!!
I love the drawing so much, red foxes are my favourite.
I love to see you back and happy and chirpy! Didn't know they made the posca pencils, never seen them before. Thank you for this in depth review!
I love how the Illustration turned out! The colors are really vibrant and beautiful, but as you say, honestly why are they even more expensive as the Polychromos??? I mean Carand´Ache okay, they seem to have even a better lightfastness than the Polychromos, but wow almost 100 dollars for 36 pencils? I´m shocked!
I mean most Japanese supplies can be expensive cuz importing is very expensive
I have never watched any of your videos.
I'm not an artist but it popped up on my page. I follow several "colorists" here on RUclips. Many are true artists & can take a printed page & turn it into a masterpiece. Most of us color for the pure enjoyment & relaxation of it, however.
Just a few thoughts:
I enjoyed seeing your cat play! How adorable that he gets to enjoy your new art supplies as well!
2nd: I'm not used to seeing such negative & rude comments on videos. I don't see much of that in the "coloring community". I'm sorry that the internet seems to bring out the worst in human nature.
What a lovely fox picture! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks for the great review. I had no idea these even existed. Your review was pretty thorough, and now I know I shouldn’t buy them. Though I do like softer pencils, these aren’t better than Prismacolors or even Derwent’s Coloursoft. I am in love with the coloursofts lay down, but I go through them pretty fast because they need constant sharpening and are also prone to breakage. I still use them but I’m very careful with them. Recently I finally got a small set of the Luminance, for me they are the best. The colors are super vibrant, the lay down is smooth and buttery, and best of all no breakage they keep a point fairly well for a soft wax pencil. That makes it worth the money to me. I won’t be getting anymore Coloursofts now that I have these. They last much longer.
Great video, with added Kat-ermission. I liked the way you swatched and broke down the pencils
(i like the way you pronounce them btw) showing them against others in it's class and techniques used to show hw well they perform when used in different way, very informative. The Artwork was great to see, showing that it's not all about million pound brush pens, and a nice change in style. (Sally; 'where did mum put that new toy she bought for me')
still luvin that cat intermission:)
Yay, got here as soon as I could!!!
Same
Watching this again and I still love how you draw your animals!! ^-^ I could re-watch your videos all the time!
Love you so much kat!!! Keepim coming!!!! Love love all your videos.
I love you Kattvalk!❤️😻
I’ve been waiting for a review on these, finally🙏
Du är så otroligt jävla duktig!!! Om man får önska annat än just art supplies att prova så skulle jag suuuuupergärna vilja ha en tutorial video på hur du lyckas göra djur! Älskar dina videos! 💚
I love the art piece! You inspire me a lot to try so many mediums!
Cat intermissions are always fun.
For an art supply review, I would love to see you review Art N Fly Brush Markers. They're suppose to be like Copic Markers, just more affordable and they're refillable too.💜
oh right, forgot to mention, cat intermission is the greatest, love it!
Great review. Thank you! And I love your three-eyes fox. He is so beautiful
Whoa don't know where you purchased yours, but I got the entire set for around 40. The case is really neat. The tins are really convenient as they take little room when stacked together. If need only a few you can put them in one tray and no need to keep all 3 layers out. Their white pencil is better than ANY other white pencil (I have all of the artists lines in white). You can try these out by buying just a few as they come open stock at Blick. If you go to uni posca community online you can see some famous artists works which were done exclusively with these pencils. This is the first set of 36 that I felt really was enough. They just blend fabulously. (Mine were on sale at Blicks. I tried 7 openstock pencils first, loved them and got the whole set. May want to wait until they go back on sale if the price has gone up so much. These are close to or identical to the Mitsubhisi Pericia which go for close to 100 or more for a set of 36
I'm really curious when uni made this, because I can not find this product on the uni website and can not seem to find any information looking up "posca coloredpencils" in japanese. I wonder if they only sell in other countries even though it's a japanese brand.
Thanks for demonstrating the color pencils. I have never seen Posca pencils before.
Thank you 4 reviewing these- super helpful
This was awesome, I never heard/knew Posca made colored pencils, thank you. I loved your drawing and you color so well.
I would love to see more coloured pencil pieces from you I love seeing your work like this for some reason.... maybe seeing the texture or something idk. Anyways love this piece 💗
wow that's was a excellent review of color pencils, i really like the fact of do the test of dark to light layering, and your illustration is very very pretty and beautiful. And your cats is sooo cute
Wowww!!! I thought your swatches were beautiful, and then came the artwork... just... 👏👏👏
I have been planning to paint a fox in watercolors to be a companion for my first OC, so this inspiration came just at the right time!! Thanks 😄🥰
One of my favourite artists i love your work 💛
Your ability to bring this picture to life is incredible
The second layer colours are Gorgeous!
You tubers like you are hero’s. You buy the stuff I wonder if it’s worth it and try it out. Thank you!!!
The box reminds me of a bento box which is super adorbs!
oooh! do more colored pencil drawings! I love how your style looks in it.
Really enjoy your videos!
That is a lot of money, indeed! I love the little foxy, he is adorable! I also really like the texture of the pencil on the paper, it's pretty, even though I personally prefer a smoother texture when I use them
Gorgeous fox.....nice work. Thanks for your super honest review.Very appreciated. Thanks so much!
How did I not know about these either 🤔
Awesome review 👍😍
Omgosh! I need these pencils in my life! 😍😍😍
Your fox looks amazing! I've don't use colored pencils very often, but your review on them was very informative. Thanks for sharing.
your work is so beautiful I'm amazed every single time
I found this video by searching "Uni-Posca Colored Pencils" and it was the top video result. I'm not going to lie, I immediately muted it and skipped to the middle because I was already jamming and I just wanted to see a demo of how the pencils looked on paper. But then you started... testing the medium and comparing it to other brands and I was completely captivated by your thoroughness. And then you drew something amazing with them! So I stopped my music, and restarted the video to watch all the way through with sound and I loved it! Especially the cat intermission. You're a great commentator and a great artist and I'm excited to see more videos from you!
Such a lovely drawing!
The cats are the best part, I love your smol fluffy beans.
Your drawing was so good and the blending is amazing. Never heard of these so you are the first one to use them. I think almost $100 for color pencil is too much especially if there better and cheaper alternative.
Have you tried using the sandpaper trick to sharpen your pencils? My teachers in high school 25 years ago, saves a huge amount of pencil waste and it's much easier to get, and keep, a sharp point.
Hey I'm new at your Channel and I love it!
I also love cats... so yes of course I had to subscribe!!
Your art is amazing! So keep up the awesome work!
🐱🐈
I like when the color # is on the end because you still know what color it is when you get down to the nubbin!
I bought Prisma color pencils when I was a teen... a hundred years ago, and they were creamy and did not break. They were also made in the US and they were a bit more pricey than other good pencils. They moved the manufacturing to Mexico and made them a bit cheaper and they break a lot and were never the same. It may be worth more $$ to not have to sharpen away half your pencil.
Prismacolor breakage can be fixed by popping the pencil in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Just be careful putting wooden pencils in the microwave, they can get really hot and it can obviously be a fire hazard if they get too hot. But it melts the broken pieces inside the pencil back to one single piece.
I have oddly never had a breakage problem with prismacolors. I don't know why, am I just lucky?
@@thenerdybunny1296 Your pack was probably never dropped in transit or something lol, I guess luck would be a good credit
Thank you for doing such a thorough review on these Posca Color Pencils. I too believe they are way overpriced for what you get. Your drawing of the fox is absolutely beautiful, you are very talented!!❤️🌹
Oh I'm early! Wait, what do I comment now?🤔🤔🤔
Beautiful artwork and a really adorable 🐱!
I kinda wish prisma color redid their tin to something like posca pencils but metal. I ruin tins so fast and its large.
Eyy our Swedish queen is close to 300k !!!✨
Lovely fox! They are my favorite forest critter. Thank you for the review.
Ohhh I like ur hair ,nice artwork btw
Love the drawing!
WOULD ALSO LOVE TO HAVE THESE!!
Your colouring is jus soooo 😍
I didnt know about those pencils either and I visit nearly daily different art supply stores, drooling over stuff and appeasing the ravenous want-monster. To me Posca means acrylic paint pens! Looks nice, but Im saving my money for bigger set of Polychromos. Im so happy I found you, I love to watch european artists, because that means the supplies are within my reach also if something strikes me as must-have. Subbed of course right away, and sending you fall (=rainy, boo..) greetings from your eastern neighbor! Extra points for kitty footage, too cute :)
You are so inspiring! I love seeing what you create! Keep it up! ❤️😻
Also WOW I thought polychromos were expensive... 0.0
wow i had no idea posca did anything but paint markers! These actually look really like how nice these looks if the price ever drops i’ll definitely get these.
Omg love the fox!!
The packaging is so pretty
I never knew they made pencils
The intro.. So relatable..
Great video Katt. You're the first person I've seen use these. I've heard about them but never seen them in action. They are nice but if I had my choice I would go with Polychromos or Luminance. I've tried Polychromos and love them. Next one I would like to get is Luminance. I usually go with prismacolor and luckily I ended up buying sets off a few friends and it was before Prismacolor started getting pretty bad at breaking and not being centered in the middle. I still have trouble sometimes but not as much as I have with the newer prismacolor.
Amazing testing video !
The fox is so adorable! 😍🦊 Also, with the price that they are and how soft they are, you would probably go through them quicker.
I love seeing a bit of Sally, she's so cute
It’s actually our other cat Ludvig 😸 but they do look quite similar
@@Kattvalk oh I can't tell the difference, they look so similar! But both as cute as each other.
Thanks so much for testing the Tosca pencils I just started my polychromo collection 12 pencils for $ 47 that is Australian dollars everything is so expensive here I love your art and chanel thanks again
I think one of the appeals to get these over others is just how vibrant the colors are. I don't think I've ever seen color pencils that bright.
Ah. I wish that she used a blending medium (like gamsol or linseed oil because these are oil based). Something about lil white dots showing through creeps me out. Haha
I'll be sure to try em *❤
Wow that’s crazy! I love my prismacolor pencils
Really awesome fox!
Liked the video just for the cute kitty!
The tin case is irrevelant imo.
Plastic is just fine for me.
Actually, I prefer it. I don't want to deal with rust.
Where are you storing your pencils that the tin would rust?!
It's not, if I'm paying 100 for coloured pencils I expect a tin case since they're more expensive and better over all. Since when do tin cases rust, they have some sort of coating to stop that. Stop lying, just say you like plastic and that's it
this was so cute!! i love foxes c:
Beautiful drawing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the review
That’s a crazy high price for what me pencils 🤑
the artwork looks amazing!! i love it!
the STABILO woodys are a mix betw colored pencils and crayons. they are water solvable, so you can create aquarell washes with em and you can draw on almost every surface with em. so fun to draw on glass, mirrors, bathtubs.. they're designed for kids but are also really fun to use for adults. i bet you will get amazing results with em. would be cool to know what you think about em :D
