Thank you, Becky, for this comparison. I think you're the only one that compared them or at least I didn't see anyone else comparing these 2 together. I was thinking of getting one of these sets but wasn't sure which one was better. I have Derwent Graphitints so I will get the Sumiundo. I love your Ned Kelly painting. The colours look great! My favourites are red and blue in both sets. 💜💙💚💛🧡
Thanks, I had the thought to paint a Ned Kelly picture and these paints seemed perfect for the subject so it all came together. I figured I'd better explain who he was for my international audience. 😁
Yay, Ned Kelly! Great choice of subject! I didn't know about his bucket helmet, that's funny! Wow, the two sets are so similar. In case no one else said it, the Boko Undo set gets its "shadow" from sumi ink, which is probably why it spreads so quickly in the water and why it doesn't granulate as much as the graphite set. I have the Boko Undo set because I saw everyone on RUclips playing with them, and me want the pritty! But -- like all novelty sets, I don't really know what to do with it, and I've never really used them. I now prefer to enjoy these things vicariously through youtube. Also- I see someone else mentioned that you can use the back of a spoon to polish the graphite. An expert tip I learned from watching youtube!
I'd definitely agree that they're kind of novelty sets for the most part, but I do still really like them and they are great for monochromatic art. Plus of course, the pretty factor! 😂
Nice review of these and great drawing and story telling. I think the reason they aren't filled to the top is to prevent spillover. At least That's what I think because of using a little set I have and the need to use quite a bit of water to activate. It's actually a good thing and I wish other watercolors would use deeper but less full pans like this as there's always unintentional contamination.
Thanks for the review. As an American, I was insulted by your America comment since I don't know how to draw or paint a gun either BUT then I looked down and noticed the 2 handguns lying beside me and thought "Yeah, maybe she has a point." 😂 Anyway, great review and painting.
@@BeckyTregear We pretty much have the world's cache of guns, of which I own three. However, most Americans don't own guns, and most Americans who do own guns have only one stashed in a drawer somewhere for just in case. My sister had to go sit through some drawers the other day to find theirs. The arsenal owning, second amendment spouting, playing soldier in the woods on weekends, "civilization is about to collapse" phobic, gun nuts are the minority but they're very vocal and they own a lot of weapons.
@@serenityjewel That makes sense! We have a lot of noisy people here too which makes you think there are lots of them when in reality it is only a few. This was proven in our latest state election where the same guy got back in by a landslide in spite of what angry media would have had us believe. Didn't they look silly! 😂
No problem. There is a lot of information about him, as well as a lot of conjecture as he achieved legend status and a lot of the stories end up being myths, haha!
I got 5 of the 6 gansai graphite in sketchbox...last month? I think... I really wish it had included the blue, so lovely. Your painting is very nice, and a good show of the colors.
Nice paint set, the colors really work on that bandit. Outlaw stories are always good…truth gets tainted a might as the story is retold. My wife’s family has a story of Rattlesnake Jake who rode into Lewistown Montana to shoot the town up, nearly killing a great aunt. He met his demise soon after and his bullet riddled skull is on display at the county museum.
I am SO interested in this Kuretake set! I really wanted the Boku undo 😂 before, but I think I will use the graphite one more especially because its graphite texture since I do not have anything like that at home 😍 And I am definitely into making studies lately. I am just waiting for them to be available anywhere near me 😂
Australian Amazon has been doing well from me lately, as they keep actually having the products in stock - for a long time you couldn't get much of anything, but they've stepped up their game big time!
Fantastic Becky! OOHHH the infamous Ned Kelly!! I think everyone loves an outlaw lol These paints are very attractive, I do love a muted palette and I love the way you say Boku-undo, maybe it's your accent ?? I dunno I just like it lol I'm weird sorry hahaha great vid as always :D
Ned Kelly has definitely acheived Legendary Status, haha! I hope I'm pronouncing it correctly, as close as I can to Japanese. I'm sure I have an accent though, lol.
Hmmmm ..... I think I still prefer graphite in pencil form, specifically my 24 Derwent Graphitints pencils......(TBH, I’m addicted to that Derwent pencil smell tho!) 😂 0:43 Oooooo....looks like pretty diesel spill rainbows!
@@liliax9147 Same with the Drawing Pencils (And Inktense too!)... so creamy and dreamy to use.......and they smell sooo good (to me).... I LOVE Derwent!
Hey Becky, I'm 2 1/2 minutes into your video and I did the exact same thing with my cover, except not both ends, which is a better idea. Both ends, good idea. Karen from Canada ☺☺💖💖
I can’t wait to order my Graphite set to go with my other two Boku Undo sets, the black shadow one, plus I have the mei set. Should be fun to blend them!
I have the two sets of Gamsai Tambi, didn't like the pastel, but these are just beauts! Didn't know this set came out but it's tops on my shopping list! Nice review 🥰
Thank you! I've got a few pastel colours from their big set, but not a dedicated pastel set. I think these darker ones are much more useful because of the larger value range that can be achieved.
Wow love your picture. Thanks for making another great video about these paints. May ask a question please! Does the graphite rub off your work once dry? Thanks and take care.
It’s so interesting seeing how the graphite interacts with the other pigments how it just kind of separates! I think I agree about that bluish green being the favorite color. I really need to get one of those etchr sketchbooks still🥴 we love a good outlaw artwork every once in a while!😂 when you said it’s not America I laughed too much 💀
Hi Becky, I have the Boku-Undo set you have, plus their shadow set. I don't have the Kuretaki version. Now I want it, lol. I don't have any of the Derwent pencils. Your painting came out wonderful. I will have to read up on Ned Kelly. I think of my country's outlaw Jessie James. I need to read up on both outlaws. On Wednesday the 17th I am going to the Seattle VA. While in Seattle I will be going to the Daniel Smith art store. They carry other brands too, like Derwent.
I was thinking Jessie James as an American counterpart! I sent you an email just now; finally got myself organised with looking at my Daniel Smith paints, lol!
Fantastic painting becky and I always love the music you put with your videoes. I wanted to ask you a question, I remember you filling a fountain pen straight into the barrel which I thought was a great idea but forgot to note the name of the pen and can't remember what videoe it was. I would like to get one, hope you don't mind me being a pain
The comparison was very helpful. I have the Boku-undo set and was thinking about getting the Kuretake set. Now I see that the colours are very similar. I didn't order it yet because I have the Derwent graphitint paintset as well and thought it might be similar. Would you say they look similar? I read that you can rub the back of a spoon on the dried paint and it will appear shiny. I am always confused by the japanese names. So these are made by two different companies, aren't they?
Gansai Tambi Graphite set is by Kuretake, and I think Boku Undo is the name of the other company. That's my best guess anyway, haha! I will try using a spoon for sure, someone else also mentioned that. I think the Graphitints look pretty similar so you'd be right with those. I just have to collect the whole set, apparently! 😂
Love the artwork. Wonder how the sets compare with Derwent Graphitint? Your review was timely. I wanted to get a set of water soluble colored graphite or water soluble colored charcoal. Kept on going back and forth between several products including the Ganzi Tambi. Did favor the Graphitint pans but because of budget got a set of 12 Graphitint pencils. They're due in tomorrow. I'm looking forward to using them on toned paper. Have fun you thought about using your set on grey multimedia paper? Thank you for another good review done from the comfort of your home.
I do plan on making a video painting on toned papers; I keep getting distracted by other things, lol! I have yet to try the actual pan set of Graphitints, so my guess is they are similar to these Japanese ones but maybe not exactly the same.
Received the 12 pencil set. Did a picture on Strathmore grey toned paper using the Graphitints dry. Loved them so much, I broke down and ordered the 24 pencil set. Like that I can use the pencils dry as well as wet.
I don't know, I'm afraid! Kuretake doesn't release any lightfast information for specific colours or sets as far as I know. In this case, everyone's in the dark!
I wish derwent would write everything on bottom of their graphite pans like this gansai tambi graphie company does on it bottom of their pans.....enjoyed video and supply info i also like how you show how the infomation is on the back of the box....do use a different brush set on your graphites than on your regular wcpaint? Im just wondering if i would ruin my brushes if i use them on graphite do u notice a difference after youve used brush from graphite then watercolor brush. Its quite sad to know how bad our country has become with guns i lived by mass shooting in buffalo ny and things have gotten out of control hoping in November elections can right so many things for the safety of our future children and grandchildren...mikelle art mom 🎨✍👩🎨
I love it when things are labelled so I can't jumble them up too much, haha! Yes I use different brushes; I have a drawer full of ones which I use for inks and also these graphite sorts of things. I keep other brushes that are used only for watercolours and nothing else.
@@BeckyTregear thank you for reply thats good to know should i purschase a lower price of my favorite brushes ? Im limited on budget ive got to try to hit a art brush sale and just get two sets for my graphitints and metallics...thanks so much for information about the brushes...mikelle art mom
Do you have/have you seen Derwent's Graphitint pans? I'm wondering how similar this Kuretake product is to that (since I already have the Graphitint pans...).
I do not have the Graphitint pans so I can't say for sure! Possibly quite similar but I have a feeling the Kuretake might be a bit thicker and have darker mass tone.
@@BeckyTregear hahaha 😂, I replayed that part like maybe 15 times and laughed so hard. Thank you for all your videos 😊 ❤️ one of my favorite channels I have re-watched your videos like so many times it is really a pleasure.
I've got an older video on the Graphitint pencils, but I haven't compared these head to head. One of these days I'll review the graphitint pans, which is on my to do list, lol.
I got the Gansai Timabi set (minus the blue) from Sketchbox last summer. I absolutely fell in love with them. They're wonderful for moody, atmospheric paintings. I do'nt burnish them to get them shiny...I like them muted better.
@@BeckyTregear It is a pity. I tried to get the blue pan but apparently they don’t sell the pans separately for that set and I haven’t used enough of them to buy a new set for just one colour. They are perfect for muted, moody scenes

Those colors are gorgeous, and I'll bet the paints are a blast to use. It was a great idea to show them alongside the Boku Undo set.
They're as fun as the Boku Undos so I am glad I picked them up! I am building up a serious collection of gansai tambi paints though, lol.
They say to use the back of a spoon to bring out the graphite shine. This was a perfect picture to use. Well done!
Thank you, I'll try the spoon trick! 🥄
In Japan, the gansai pans are never filled to the top. I think its the tradition there.
Thank you, Becky, for this comparison. I think you're the only one that compared them or at least I didn't see anyone else comparing these 2 together.

I still haven't gone to see it!
wonderful set! I love the painting and the history around it. Thanks, Becky and have a brilliant weekend.
It was a fun little set - I love the many gansai tambi sets that are out there; must collect them all! 😂 Have an excellent weekend too!

You're probably right, and also paints do shrink when they dry. It's not really an issue at all, I just like to whinge, haha!
@@BeckyTregear oh yeah, me too. Haha! They accommodate bigger brushes too which is actually really nice
It's also to accommodate the larger Japanese Sumi type brushes.
I love them. Your picture was awesome. Can't wait to see what more you create with them.

I have the derwent graphitint set, i think they have more graphite and would ‘polish’ more noticeably.
