    This felt like an unfair comparison. If you’re going to use those specific sets of Derwent pencils, I probably would have used the Faber Castell Polychromos. They’re more similar in price and are my personal favorite. They layer and blend well, feel really sturdy, their led has never broken before, and are nicely pigmented.

    *Video idea:* Start off with a set amount of colours like 10 and once you use a colour, you can't go back to it and use it again. I think the results would be really cool!

      True. In Germnay most of my primary school students have them and they are pretty robust (while drawing and sharpening). I bought myself some Staedler reinforced ones with a white lead supporter inside, that should prevent the coloured lead from breaking...guess what's breaking almost every single time, making them almost unusable?

    Whenever I use coloured pencils, I never really resort to one brand in particular. I find each colour is different depending on the brand (for example, one brand's light blue could be slightly different than another brand), and it totally depends on what you're drawing. I have a big cup full of coloured pencils and I don't even look at the brands anymore, just the colour.

    This comparison is a little unfair. Those are the essentially the 'school' range of Faber castell vs Derwent's artist range. Derwent are also wax based like Prismacolor so perhaps that would have been a fairer comparison, where as Faber Castell is oil based which is why they are firmer and can hold an amazingly sharp tip. Also Faber Castells artist lines come in tins, the same as Derwents.

    I remember the Christmas that my uncle got me a set of 48 faber castell pencils when I was about 10. I had mostly had cheap, dollar store pencils up till then, and colouring with the new pencils made me feel like a "real artist". I spent that summer filling up an entire sketch book with art, and treasured those pencils like they were gold. 20 years later I still have the sketchbook, though the pencils got used up long ago.

    The Derwent Artist and Studio pencils actually have the exact same core. The only difference is the thickness of the core and shape of the barrel. Also, it wasn't really a fair test because the Derwent pencils you used were Artist grade, while the Faber Castell were either for kids. Faber Castell have their own equivalent Artist grade pencils (Polychromos), which would have been a fairer comparison.

    • @CassandraHanley
      @CassandraHanley 4 года назад +5

      these are generally the brands of pencils that you will find side by side at any department store or newsagent in Australia, and therefore are probably the brands that many beginner artists start off playing with. to get the polychromos you need to go to an art shop or buy online, and then Derwent have the lightfast range to compete alongside those.

    Not looking for the prize, just thought I would point out that people generally feel beginners should always start with cheaper materials, and gradually work there way up to more well known and expensive brands. I just want to say that you should not feel obligated to stop using cheep brands just because of your level of skill. I know I sort of went through that phase where I wanted every expensive art supply I could think of, because of the conception that your medium should improve with your skill. You don’t have to think that way.

    • @WeideVanEnt
      @WeideVanEnt 4 года назад +2

      I agree with the idea of choosing the supplies you like best no matter brand and cost. There is the long term quality to think about though if you wish to sell your art pieces. Student grade doesn’t always have the best pigments and can't therefor be considered museum quality pieces. Also I find using better quality supplies makes creating art or testing out different techniques easier. Things just go more smoothly and need less elbow grease than the cheap supplies.

      Try making a collection of Faber Castell Polychromos. You can start out small (say 6-8 basic colors) and then gradually add more as time goes on. What's absolutely amazing about Polychromos is how well they blend and how great they feel when you work with them. They don't work like Prismacolor, they are oil based, hard, but creamy at the same time and they layer like a dream. The catch is you have to build up the color by adding thin layers of color on top of one another, so you have to be VERY patient with them, but the reward at the end is SO worth it.

      This. Absolutely love my Polychromos set. In my opinion, Derwent doesn't come even close, they feel hard and somehow uneven quality to me. If I had to switch to something else, it would be Caran D'ache Luminance. I consider Luminance to be the best among Faber Castell Polychromos (sometimes I even mix white from Luminance to poly). But I guess it's also a matter of personal preference which feels better. Lightfast range is another thing though.

    When I started actually trying to use colored pencils in my art I only had crayola pencils and while they are amazing quality pencils for being less then a dollar for a set they weren’t what I needed. When I finally upgraded to prismacolor premier it was night and day. While I am still learning the nuances of using colored pencils my art has improved 10 fold since acquiring my prismacolors.

    • @khills

      I think this is why it's such a shame that we give children such bad quality supplies. For years, I thought I was just bad at art (and a huge disappointment to my artist grandmother). Nope - the minute she started sharing her $$$ art supplies with me, my art improved radically, and I discovered hey! I'm NOT that bad of an artist, I just need the right tools. (These days, when I'm trying to pick up a new medium, I try to find the least expensive artist-quality brand, because I know I'm not getting a good idea of the quality of a medium if I use the children's version.)

  • @nicole0991
    @nicole0991 4 года назад +37

    Here's some extra information on colored pencils: There are two types. There's wax-based and there's oil-based. They differ in consistency, oil pencils tend to have a firmer lead and hold their point better whereas wax-based pencils have a creamier consistency and can be blended better. You can also use these differently. For example, you could do some extra blending with the solvent method, but it will generally work best with wax-based pencils. Kirsty Partridge Art did an amazingly comprehensive video on how to use colored pencils (aimed at beginners but can be used for anyone to up their game). Hope this helped!

      @Lila Jouer that kind of depends on your preference. I personally love the coloursoft as they are very creamy so layer and blend amazingly but they don’t do fine lines well as they are very soft. If you prefer a harder pencil then the artist range is great and the pro colour are a great range. They are sort of in the middle in terms of firmness. The Derwent lightfast range offer the highest lightfast rating of any pencil. I would recommend the Derwent drawing range to anyone. They only have 24 colours but the black and white are the best you can get.

    On the other hand, I had been wanting to try more Derwent products, and seeing this video has helped me to choose my first real set. So thank you for that!
    And seeing that you have apps available to help with daily drawing is fantastic. I've been lacking inspiration lately and it's been a bummer, so I can't wait to give this a go.

So they were super cheap and no one new the brand and you could buy them from 5 below, a store where items cost $5 and below. But even with years using them they still amaze me with how smooth they are and the variety of colors that comes in the 24 pack. I might try out Derwent color pencils but prisma colors really take the cake for me.

    I have been drawing with Faber Castel pretty much my whole artist career,
    There's really good artist versions which are more expensive than 10 $, but also give way better results.
    I especially love the deep green tones that Faber Castel provides since I specialised myself on environmental drawings. :)
    The Faber Castel sharpies can also be used and even combined with the coloured pencils. I tend to use the dark sharpie tones like black or brown as outline while I use the coloured pencils for the flat colouring and shading.

    When it comes to colored pencils, for cheaper brands I would definitely choose crayola. They come in much larger packs for a vary of colors and are easy to blend and layer. They are also most of the time on sale which also lowers the already lower price. But when it comes to more expensive pencils, I would pick prisma color. The colors are vibrant and rich. They blend and layer perfectly and are still cheaper when it comes to higher end pencils. I love using them on mid toned paper. This really helps the highlights pop more than if used on normal white paper.

With other color pencils I often find myself pressing too hard because the coloring is so weak.

      Crap. The Champions League are Faber-Castell's polychromos (three stars), Caran D'Ache's Luminance and Derwent's lightfast. I particularly I HATE Derwent's color selection, but the pencils are good. I love the Caran's and the Fabers.
      In my opinion (and I own the 120 Faber Castell set), the best option would be to make a collection of:
      Faber Castell 72 set. This set should include all the 3-stars lightfast pencils, so the best and most lasting colors. It's also more manageable than the 120 set, which is way too much.
      Caran D'Ache's 20 pencils luminance set. It adorably complements those previous 72 Faber Castells and they are creamy and wonderful to use.
      I particularly have a beef with Derwent's Lightfast set. I bought the 32 one and not only did it have colors that were so similar they were almost the same, the color swatches on the box didn't match the colors inside, so you get a VERY dark, dull, lustserless set. If you draw only skin, nature or military settings, it might be interesting. I wrote to them infuriated and they were so kind as to send me 6 lighter pencils. I re-did the set taking the too similar colors and adding the six new ones and now it's a nice set, but it's still very dull and I can't recommend buying it unless you really like your browns and not-pure greens (brownish green, army green...) If like me, you love your blues, skip it completely.
      So... In my opinion, the best option is the 72 Faber Castell (Polychromos, of course) and compliment with the 20 Caran D'ache (Luminance, of course). If after that you want something more brownish, more realistic, more skin tone, the 36 Derwent (Lightfast, of course) set, could be a nice addition for collecting purposes, but I wouldn't recommend the Derwents on their own.
      Prismacolor? Not even in the same league. Tips break like bitches.

      Moon Queen it’s not illegal to have the pencils, just illegal to sell. The US determined unsafe levels of pigments, I believe? There is such a long history of using dangerous substances in pigments I wouldn’t be surprised- cadmium and lead being standout examples. But, that’s just what I’ve heard, I don’t have any proof or anything.
