Omg you’re the first RUclipsr I’ve seen that actually uses them all. Your colors are very loved 😂❤
They definitely get lots of love!
Take that wrist strap on your zip cases, attach it to the zippers (up to three at a time). You can unzip the whole case in one go. Alternatively, or if you need more than one pull on a big case, look for a keychain holder or anything with a clip and something to grab (you can also make your own with cord or ribbon).
Thank you, I did try to make one with a ribbon and I was worried it was straining the zips a bit. I think I may try the keychain idea though!
Yes I used the keychain method and it works like a charm!
I can't describe the excitement that ran through me when I saw this review pop up! 🤩
Hope you enjoy it!
Your video's put a smile on my face, due to your character being mesmerising. 🙂
@@rabia_gafoor thank you
Just as a hint, if the lead starts coming out of the pencil, try putting it in the warm, such as on top of the car dashboard, leaving it to get warm, it worked well for me.
thank you, I will maybe try a radiator as I do not drive!
@RachelHendersonColouring just don't get it too hot, and leave it for awhile, and whatever you do, Don't put in the microwave!!
@@heatherhoward2513 especially if it has metallic print on it!!
Nice comparison, thank you. My favorite pencils are Derwent Drawing, Lightfast and Chromaflow 😊
My pleasure x
Amazing collection, thank you for showing xx
Thanks for watching
Love my Pablo’s brilliant video xx
Thank you
You are so good at doing the good! 🏅
Thank you so much 😀
I didn’t see your large tins of Koh i Noor. The 144 tins. I don’t care how many you have, if you want them, get them. A smoker isn’t going to not buy cigarettes because someone is saying you do use a lot of cigarettes!!! I enjoyed your video……only thing with these videos, they make me want to get those in your set that I haven’t yet bought. Never mind, we all only get 1 chance at living. Live it to the fullest and enjoy it!!!
I am sure I will get the 144 tin of koh-i-noor pencils at some point - I am running out of rom to store everything though!
you’re absolutely right about prismas and their range of color, i like them but i can’t love them. I’ve always wanted polychromos but in my country they’re the opposite of affordable, they’re about 5 times the price of prismas 120 set. And aprox the double of the price i see in the uk amazon link. Not for me haha
That is a shame, maybe keep an eye out for a second hand set!
@@RachelHendersonColouring where do people sell their second hand sets? i’ve never heard of something like that 😮
@@samanthaelizabeth3023 I have heard of people picking them up on Gumtree or eBay and also in second hand shops. You do have to be patient though!
I've had so many sets and rehomed most of them. My favorites (keep in mind I color over alcohol markers or watercolor pencil most of the time depending on the book) Are Polychromos and Chromaflow. I mix my polychromos with my brutfuner macarons and will probably replace those with Holbien as they wear down.. literally resorted the entire thing into one big set in color family order, and it made all the difference in how much I enjoy them and reach for them. I adore the chromaflow, I just wish there were 150 of them. They are right in-between polys and prisma with the thin core of a verithin but soft. I found the Goldfabers are very similar to the chromaflow and have some different colors.. not quite as good (a bit harder and not quite as vibrant) but close enough to add in some bonus colors with the same thin core.. especially the faber greens which are lovely, a lighter purple, and a midtone grey that is missing and annoys me. I'm currently debating whether to pick up the full set. I do love my Prismas but I color with them differently.. adding color down in the darkest areas and then spreading it over the white paper with the blender. Nothing else can do that and is a very fast way to color, this is my primary pencil for J. Bassford books. I add a Prisma white to every pencil set I own. I also own Arteza expert, Stadtler Design Journey, and Lyra and enjoy them but only reach for them occasionally for a change of pace since I get bored using the same thing all the time, they are all harder on my hands (the Arteza are soft but I find I'm just not happy with the finish unless I take a blender to it, and that's a whole other layer of work). I have Arrtx (not a fan, hard, weird color selection, probably going to go to a new home soon) and Markart (the closest thing I've ever found to Polychromos, lovely unique colors...but not open stock so I tend to ignore them and just grab my Polys). The rest of my collection is mostly watercolor pencils.. museum aquarelle (lovely, not enough colors, not sure they are worth the money), albrecht durer (way more colors and by far the best for value for money IMO), Kohinoor mondeluz (great for the price especially if you buy the cardboard box version). Inktense which are their own thing and are great but I hate the color selection.. they really need more variety and more natural shades... I like them for my Kirby books especially just on their own. I have a small collection each of Luminance, Lightfast, Pablo, Coloursoft, Procolor, and Supracolor.. I don't like any of them enough to buy more. I keep pulling them out, coloring with them, and putting them back in storage lol. My alcohol markers are the two Ohuhu pastel sets combined with their midtone set.. and it's fabulous for basing.. perfect colors. Everything else is acrylic pens, gel pens, fineliners, etc. I keep going back and forth on buying the Derwent watercolor pencils... if I find them on sale this holiday season I may pick them up. They are soft to lay down and a different color palette to the others.
Thank you. I have been using my polys a lot lately, although just picked up my prismas for a change!
Hi Rachel I love these sort of videos seeing what everybody owns they are all beautiful pencils.. my all time favourite is my prismacolor pencils they are the ones that started my journey in adult colouring.. thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊xxxxx
my pleasure x
Loved this video . Poly’s are my favourite and since I’m pretty new to the colouring world, I try to learn with as least variations as possible. Ie: paper and pencils. Tysmfs Rachel 💜
Thank you
I’m an illustrator and I work with Polychromos and Derwent Lightfast over alcohol markers
Sounds like a pretty combination
I agree with you over the Pablos love mine, so nice to see your pencils are used, lovely video xx
thank you!
Thanks for showing us your lovely collection.. I felt like a kid in a candy shop 😊 I recently got the ergosoft and castle arts Monet set, but I find myself reaching for my polychromos the most.
My pleasure x
The perfect video to spend this rainy afternoon with, thank you for keeping me company and share your beautiful collection🥰
You are so welcome!
Had to watch this again .I got the 50 pastel set of Holbein Pencils and they fill the gaps of the Polychomos ...I still want the full box of Luminance . I love this video
thank you
Amazing collection Thank you for showing all the pretty pencils 🥰
Thanks for watching!
@@RachelHendersonColouring Thank you for the great videos 😄
Such a lot of pencils. Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot about the different pencils.
I am so lucky to have so many. Glad you learned lots x
What I do with my Derwent pencils is combine them as needed. I have most of the Derwent line so there are many colors to choose from. As far as I’m concerned with the lightfast, is that there should be a set of a 100-150 in order to create more color choices. The only thing I can find fault with as far as the Lightfast goes, is the lack of colors. I would love a large set of Lightfast pencils.
I have put mine together so that I can use them together which helps!
Thanks for the tip on the Black Widow - I plan on getting a set in the future and have added them to my wish list! Here in Australia art supplies in general are expensive to buy, especially retail price. I have found they are cheaper to get from ebay, compared to an art shop.
Art shop are expensive here too and they only stock the premier brands we have to buy cheap brands from Amazon
Great comparison. I prefer my Prismas; I think they blend better and easier to lay down a lot of color. I use an electric X-Acto School Pro sharpener and really don't get breakage with it.
It is interesting how people have such different experiences with prismas with regards to breakages. I use my Dahl sharpener to try to prevent breakages.
I love the artists set from Derwent….I bought the 12 tins first to try and then decided which to buy. The lightfast are like Polychromos and Pablos.
I think they have some of the artists set i a shop in my town, so I have been tempted to get them!
I got the Artist full set and find them really hard…the same problem with the Koi-in-noir set but both have some really lovely colours in❤
Very real review! Thank you for this video!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video! You have a beautiful pencil collection!
Thank you so much, I am very lucky.
I love your pencil collection. It's funny to hear you say that you wouldn't recommend the first two Staedtler. They are my favourites. I get the best results with the Noris colour and with the Design Journey. Must be something to do with my techniques? I'm not sure. I also like Faber-Castell Polychromos, but hate that they tend to smudge. I also like the Poscas and Irojiten. Derwent Chromaflow are excellent for blending. Love them!
Thank you. I still find the Noris tricky but am beginning to like the Design Journey although the super soft are not quite so good as the standard ones in my opinion. I also now really like Chromaflow, I have used them a lot lately!
Love the Pablos colours too!
I was using them yesterday for an autumnal page, so many great browns, reds, oranges etc
Thank you so much, that was fun ♥️✨
my pleasure x
Thank you for doing this Rachel...loved every minute. We have a lot of similar sets. I also love the metallics, we are in the minority! I agree with you about the Crayola colours of the world. I think they're rubbish. Can't put one colour on top of another so hopeless for doing faces. The Faber Castell skin tones are much better. My favourites I think are the Derwent Inktense....love love love them. Always get a thrill adding water to them. Thank you again. X
I tried an Inktense recently, I find them pretty scary lol. Watercolour pencils are not my strong point and the fact that the Inktense are permanent makes them even scarier lol
I know I was like that at first but once I practiced and got going there was no stopping me!
@@lindakelly7430 One day maybe.....!
What a great video! Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!
Great video Rachel! Love seeing your collection. Polychromos are by far my favourite too. I love to try other pencils, but I keep coming back to the polys!! I have one Caran dache luminence I bought in open stock and I absolutely love it so a larger set is on my wish list. I recently tried the Derwent lightfast set of 12 and really liked them, but again very expensive here in Canada.
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Thankyou Rachel Wonderful Video🌸🌸🌸🌸
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful collection, TFS! ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Lovely collection :)
I feel very lucky
You made some interesting points about some of the sets. Thanks! I think you have ruined ‘red-browns’ for me now 😂 JK!
oops!!!!
Thank you for doing this video and not only showing your collection but Also talk about Them. Might sound strange but what i loved the most was to see them actually been used. I am curious about getting another set of Pencils to try and have seen lots of collection videos, but most of the vidoes have just been people with a large collection and nothing used, and that dosent realt for me make me want to Get them 😂😂😂 I have my set with faber castell polychromos (started buying only a few Colors but now im only missing a few, so could probably just have gotten the set ratheer than open Stock😂). Im so happy you mentiond the metallics so a can rather Get the other ones. But a question when knowing what a already have is There a set you would recomend with a litle different colors? And maybe a pastell set?
I am glad it was helpful. Prismacolor has some good pastel shades and different colours to polychromos and you can buy them open stock. They are very soft compared to polychromos though so take some getting used to. I have only tried a couple of pastel sets and unless you want to pay a fortune for Holbeins then I would recommend the Kores pastels if you can find them or the Castle Arts. The Castel Arts regular pencils are pretty good too if you like purple shades and want something that is ore in a budget range.
thank you for sharing you pencils . I do not like prisma color I sold mine on ebay 2 years ago 150 set. I love myPolychomos ..really love my 20 Luminace Pencils ....I need the 100 box for sure . I love my drawing pencils I have set of 12 ...I want all of them . I want to try thr derwent lighfast as I have the luminace . However Luminace are £3 each it can wait hahahaha ,I do want holbine tooo my budget is tight so gotta be careful . I need needle felt suppys . i use the light grays for blending as I sketch ..learing too hahahha Thanks again for sharing .Happt coloring xxxxx
Thank you - there are always more pencils to buy!!
@@RachelHendersonColouring yeah it hard as I have a very small budget and pencils have gone up in price . 😒

@@user-nz2sf5ed7d my pleasure x
Great upload … you have an amazing collection.. I like you love my polychromos I have a few pcollections now but I always seem to go for my polys .. I have the albrecht durers to which I’m still yet to use but I’m scared to use them and ruin my books 😩.. I also have the inktense which I’m yet to use hubby bought me them when the 100 set came out I’m just so scared to use water colours in my books for fear on my books getting ruined .. thank you for sharing this great upload 🥰💕
Thank you. I can understand about your fear of wet mediums in your books, maybe use them on some downloads instead?
@@RachelHendersonColouring thank you so much for replying .. I need to get my confidence where the wet mediums are concerned I what you guys on youtube and you all do amazing work I seem to just lack so much .. loving your Chanel Rachel 🥰
@@Emmawilliams83 thank you. I think I might print some free downloads onto watercolour paper and play with them at some point, but I am happy with using regular pencils most of the time!
Coloring with K is a utuber who has a video showing how she uses Golden's Satin Glazing in her color books so that she can safely use wet mediums in them. FYI. :)
If you had a budget of 100 to 130$ what would you go for? Looking for a good set of pencils for coloring books. I hate pencils that break easily. I have a liking for Derwent products. I love and have a couple of inktense. I usually dabble in watercolor painting but i am growing a liking for coloring books. I love vibrant colors, need a nice range of browns (not red brown, real browns) and dark colors. Thanks.
I would get polychromos. Buy the biggest set you can afford with the money (not sure how much they are) and then if you have any money left buy a few open stock in your favourite colours. I have a swatch chart where you can take a look at the colour selection here - ko-fi.com/s/dfd58540c6
Thank you so much Rachel for taking the time. I'll definetly get the Polychromos.@@RachelHendersonColouring
@@nathalieroy5992 you are welcome x
Great reviews loved this
Thanks so much!
Great video thanks so much for sharing it 💕
You are so welcome
loved seeing your thoughts on the sets you have
Thank you
I didn’t catch the name of the pencils you said were your 2nd most favorite ❓
They are the Pablos - Caran D'Ache
Hi Rachel. I really appreciated you showing your pencil collection with min reviews. I have several of the same pencils and it was fun and interesting to mentally compare notes with my own opinions. I am from thecUS in hidalgo IL, but I definitely hear you on the expense of Derwent products even though you would have to worry about import duties; that would annoy me too! I am on the fence with the Chromaflow but I already have Primsacokor. Chromaflow might be a good companion to Prisma since they are a little harder, right? Thanks again! Rita
Ugh! I meant I am in the US, Chicago, IL. LOL! Hitting send too fast!
Thank you. Chromaflow are a bit harder than Prisma, yes.
I don’t recognize those brown orange pencils. Did Derwent change their pencils somewhere along the line?
I don't think so, I think you are referring to the Derwent Drawing pencils, they are still available to buy.
Hi Rachel, I’m trying to buy castle arts soft touch pencils through your link but it’s not deducting the 20%. Any ideas?
I think it might be a one use only code so if you have used it before then it may not work again
Love this video! I’m considering buying Pablo’s. I have Polys, Prismas, etc. Polychromos are probably
my favorite. Not sure if I should spend the money for Pablo’s. Do you think they are worth the price? Are there certain books/paper that they work best for you? Thank you!!!
Thank you. The pablos have some unique colours that the others do not. I am not sure of the price as I was lucky enough to be gifted them, so am therefore not sure about value for money.
Thanks for this useful video! My absolute favourite pencil is the pablos from Caran d Ache, they just blend like a breeze for me. I own prismas but I regret buying them, they are too soft and messy for me and they keep breaking, so they are catching dust right now. I also have some polychromos but I don't reach for them because I do not like their feel and I don't enjoy the layering process they take. Does anybody know if there are other pencils out there that act like pablos and blend just as well? I looked into Arteza expert but the opinions differ a lot on these, and I am also drawn to the Black Widow pencils, I think they have a great color range, but here again, the opinions differ a lot....I would love to add some more color choices to my pablos. Anybody have any advice for me please? Lots of love to all of you here!
Thank you! I am not sure any pencils I have are quite like pablos!
So many sets with so many rubbish yellows, how many people actually use these yellows 🙄. I really like the brutfuner metallics too, the pastel set is good too.
Lol yes, I need to find a use for the pale yellows......!
I would but I just can’t see them on the paper 😂
@@elliegoddard2472 lol yep!!
Wow ❤. Question, how do you choose which ones to use? 😂😂
Lol, that is a great question! Depends on what am colouring, whether I need a hard or soft pencil, what colours I feel like using and sometimes I just pick a set because I have not used it for long time!
Where I live or lived Prismacolor is 1,5x the price of policromos. Not worth.
I think it all depends on import duty and postage.
Where do you live? Here in Australia we have Officeworks as well as 2 actual art shops ( geelong area) and you can get the prismas as open stock in all of them, $3.32 approximate price each. I'm just building my set up, I have full set of polychromos bought gradually over years!
@@heatherhoward2513 I think you may not have been addressing me but here in the UK we can only buy prismacolors online, shops do not stock them
