For the colored pencils… I’ve never used these before but is it possible the reason they kept breaking is because of how sharp you made them? Even the lightest pressure seems like a lot for those tiny sharp tips…
As always, I love your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your opinions!!!
Yeah, I have the same pencils and I think they're fine. I don't oversharpen them and they rarely break.
That’s what I was thinking too because those there very tiny points and only that section was breaking. The rest never broke. They seem like decent colored pencils!
I was thinking the same thing, I have the same colored pencils and they never break and I’m pretty heavy handed
When you said “it’s not a hedgehog,” I immediately said, in the most enchanted voice, “It’s a bloop! It’s a floofy bloop! So, that’s my suggestion. Floofles the Bloop. Adorable, by the way!
Floofles is tooooo cute!
Seriously it’s so adorable 🥰 I wish I could have it as a pin or smth
Hi Temi mam I am a big fan of your arts can I get a reply from you, pleaseee
Hello temi mam, I watch ur videos!!! Not to mention that.... Ur drawing are so beautiful and realistic!!!!
I really wish I could draw like u!!!!
😭😭
I use those coloured pencils all the time and they rock. They are not lightfast at all (did my own test), but the blend beautifully and I've only had one lead break during sharpening. And my pencil leads don't break when colouring, but I have a lighter hand with art. And I tend to hold pencils to the side when colouring to preserve the point.
Thank you for this input! Thats the main difference between cheap and pricey, the lightfastness. make a nice drawing, hang it on the wall and less than a year later it's all bleached...
Foofles is adorable! I think I see what's going on with the breakage on the color pencils. They're oversharpened. Super sharp points on soft core colored pencils just tend to break more easily. It might be worth looking at those pencils again using slightly broader points!

I've had water based markers before and used a paintbrush and treated it like a watercolor marker, that helped the streakiness a bit for me at least, Just thought I'd mention it if you haven't tried it already.
i color on a glaas surface and it makes it easy as well to make new colors, i like it more then i do alcohol markers, they make me light headed ;-)
I was actually wanting to see a review on these when you DO use them with a paintbrush that is what I am looking for...
Floofles needs to be a sticker/pin. I love him. I didn’t see a lot of browns in the pencils ✏️. The stand for the markers is a nice touch. I’m in the need of drawing pencils. Thanks for the info.
Yay another sketchbook ideas video, plus a sketchbook tour coming 😻🙏
Lovely testing out of the Amazon basics selection - I’ve always steered away from them just in case they were cheap quality, but they actually look pretty great! 🤩
Aaaa Mira you are my art idol! Tysvm for being the positive and encouraging UA-camr we all need right now 😊 Lysvm girl!!
Can't wait for the sketchbook tour, I really loved the doodle all the characters are sooo cute, the name floofles is so cute. I enjoyed the video a lot💜
I love your brutally honest reviews! It's so hard to tell whether or not somebody's review is genuine or not and you, my friend, are genuine! I think you're pretty spot on with your ratings. My favorite is the sketching pencil set for sure! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
When I saw the title, I thought of those Liquitex Basics Acrylic paints, but after listening to the intro, I realize I am definitely wrong 😂 Amazon’s own brand, huh? Can’t wait to see you dive into this! :) 💕
Yes, it's kind of interesting they came out with their own brand! I hope you like the video! 💜 Also I can totally see why your mind went to Liquitex Basics Acrylic Paint, haha!!
@@MiraByler 🤔interesting what you had said about the color pencils, because I have the exact same set, and I've had no problem with the pencil breaking I've only had I think two or three break out of using them since I bought them which was sometime last year, and that was my fault for pressing to hard.😅
@@MiraByler and thanks for putting that tip about the markers in the video, cuz I have alcohol and I was wondering if water based or alcohol based markers, is better for blending 🥰❤️🥰.
I've hear so many different reviews on the pencils that it is really hard to know if they are good or bad, not that i need more pencils but they seem like something to get for my niece to practice with 🙂
Hi there! I have heard a lot about these pencils and my cousin owns the 72 set of them! He says that they seem to work really well, have lots of pigmentation and you don’t need to do much layers for a clear colour!however, the gold is apparently really ‘scratchy’ and they don’t blend supper nicely! However it depends on personal preference and what they will be used for - great range of colours and many more great factors to be considered! Hope this helped in any way 😀
Mira mentioned they're priced between crayola and prismacolor, and I'd say that applies to the quality, too. Probably closer to the crayola end of the spectrum. I'll sometimes grab one if I want a specific colour I lack in another set, but they're not on par with better pencils. If your niece is young and not overly experienced, I think they'd be fine; but if she's geared towards colouring more seriously, something a bit higher quality would be nicer.
Floofles is adorable. =)
Proportions and certain angles, are a challenge for me… and feet are my biggest challenge when it comes to drawing people. Your girl is beautiful. =)
The Butterfly/Moth is beautiful.
@@wintersprite I guess we just need to practice drawing them more often…. (If we WANT to improve). 😉
I really really love the doodley and funzies vibe! I love watching people just "art vomit" all over a page. thank you for trying these out!
Wonderful video and I loved the doodles you did!😍👏👏
Looking forward to the sketchbook tour and sketchbook ideas you've mentioned! 😊
I would love to see you do a thrifting Vlog on freely Mira! Also a custom painted pair of roller skates would be cool to see! Loved the video! You’re awesome!
I got the colored pencils about a year ago and I've been incredibly happy with them! I never have an issue with the leads breaking.
Its because she oversharpened them and used them at the tip, not the side.
I really loved the style of this video...great product shots and editing!
I always love how mira is always so creative and happy and also so inspiring to artists at all levels in all her videos
Has anyone else tried the art supplies featured in this video? The way Mira is excited while she’s trying out her new art supplies and reminds me of a child on Christmas morning opening their presents.
I’ve just bought these 3 and honestly I’m really into them. I’m on of those kind of people who just relax, doodle, and use colouring books. So these 3 together are perfect for that. Anyways love you!
I absolutely love this chill doodley type of video ✨💕
Super excited you did this. Now i want to try the pencil set with the charcoal and erasers! Great price point!
I have these pencils and I have had NO problem with breakage either sharpening or using I love them.
I would love to see a digital art piece from start to finish! It would be a different type of video too :)
I love your video you encouraged me to get back into art and stay positive 🌼
Mira, as always, thank you for making such awesome and informative videos. Thank you for feeding my obsession with art supplies/stationery lol
Omg this is the earliest i've been. Love your videos soo much❤️
Love my early squad! I also love the illustration on your icon. It's so beautiful!
I personally have the colored pencils and the drawing kit, and I love them both so much. I got them when I was just getting started, before I got to into art, and the pencils where great for me at that time. The drawing kit is great, it only goes up to a 3B in soft pencils, but the charcoal and the kneaded eraser are all great.
I have the drawing pencils, and I love them!! the only thing was I found the kneadable eraser to be VERY stiff! and omg!! the whole time I was screaming name the creature floofy!! great video!!!!
I love the art work that was behind you. It’s so pretty ❤❤❤
Yesss, Floofles the Hedge-lion! 💖
I have the Tombow markers and they do streak also. I do love the colors and hope to practice more with them.
We girl bk it again with another creative youtube video idea love u Mira😊😊
I would really like to buy the brushpens since I think that they would probably work really well with handlettering, thry are just basically constantly unavailable so I'll probably just buy different ones
I actually have most of these products in my wishlist. Excited to see which ones work well and which ones are not recommended.
I just ordered the pencil/charcoal set last night or the day before I kid you not. Holding my breath waiting for your review and you loved them. So my boyfriend looked at me weird because I was literally jumping around the kitchen nearly in tears because I have back problems but I was so happy that you were happy with them.
You have to do more of these Amazon artist products or even kids art stuff. Thank you so much. Ice pack for my back time lol.
Spoof!!!! Your drawing is so good👏👏🌸That hedgehog... you drew it just casually..but it turn out to be wow!😳😳 That girl you draw was 👏👏🌸🌸🌸 Pretty 🦋
I’d wonder about their colorfastness? Maybe do tests under certain conditions over time? Like UV light?
🙂I have the same color pencil set, I bought it sometime last year and I've had no problems the color seems to last very long, so the light fastness on these pencils are good, hope this helps. 😄💌🙂
I would not expect budget art supplies to be colorfast, or lightfast

6:39 Good call 😅 I have been convincing myself that if I buy high quality art supplies I will be able to get back to drawing and coloring again 🥲💕
This was a fun video. I especially liked watching you doodle, even though I clicked on this because I was really interested in what you thought of Amazon art supplies. I am not so sure about monopolizing all products by any company. I like review videos and comparison videos because sometimes the results are surprising. Sometimes someone decides to actually make quality affordable again. Then it is worth supporting them. Also sometimes I bought something and have no idea how to use it and both these videos help with trying new art supplies. So yes, these are great videos. I love watching you make art. So, so happy you drew a darker skin toned girl. She came out amazingly and it is inspiring because all skin tones are hard, but darker ones are harder. Her dress is so amazing with her skin tone. It encourages and inspires me to try copy it and learn. Thank you. I am a big fan of yours and would love to see you paint on a gold canvas.
Lol it's kinda funny that people always seem to be surprised, that water-based markers are streaky. I mean ... they're water-based, what did you expect? XD They seem to do a quite nice job for little illustrations and bullet journaling tho
Floofles looks so cute! Haha i loved what you did with these art supplies. Im tempted to get some myself now… i do have an art supply addiction though 👀😂
It’s such a pleasure watching your videos! i have really enjoyed watching this! waiting for your upcoming videos...! have a nice day, stay safe! Keep sharing 👍🏻
I was doing a zen-tangly type thing and my foneliner DIDN'T RUN OUT!!!!! U bring me luck MIra!!
Ya but the markers are really nice, I also tried on them and yes floofles is really cute 🥰
I have those Amazon pencils and I have never had one break. Owned them for a year so far
I love how every single video of her is so aestetic
Thank you for the review. Appreciate your time. 😀
The color pencils are pretty great, I wish they had a bigger set! 👍
The dual tip markers I usually color on a plastic sheet and then use a paintbrush and use it almost like a water color
I purple U Mira mam!! 💜💜💜💜 I seriously loooove ur drawings and art related things!!!!
Thank you! That is what I wanted to know: do they break easily and blend well.
I think the pencils are breaking so much because it probably got smashed during shipping, amazon ships stuff really terribly sometimes, especially with art supplies even if they're high end. It's the same with any colored pencil, the leads break inside if it's handled incorrectly. Maybe try running it over with a heat gun or put it out in the sun for a while for the cores to fuse back together.
This was a really nice Video. I was looking for a review for anazon basics that was not only about the colored pencil :)
The finished art is really cute it looks likea polemon grass type trainer and floofles being their pokemon :D
Have you ever tested Target’s art supply line? Mondo Llama is their store brand. I know they are for a younger artist, but some of them look promising.

I would buy and use all of these, they seem pretty good for cheaper supplies. I don't think they have them here in Australia, hopefully soon!
The markers are so streaky but I LOVE the sketch of the woman in the flowers!

I just love your videos they make my day!
I'm SO glad you are testing the markers. I've been trying to and trying not to get those for MONTHS . I just wasn't sure about them. Now I have a much better idea, thanx so much. Now if you could just test the chalk markers and the other pens. Hahaha
Great review video Mira! I do think the water based markers remind me a lot of the tombows just by looking at them. I haven't gotten to try them yet, but they do look very similar. I don't think I would want to try the colored pencils just because of the breakage issues. That tends to drive me insane, I love prismacolors, but their breakage has made me rage quit a piece for the night many times lol. One day I would love to invest in a similar type of pencil of better quality. They are all just so pricey lol. Thanks for doing a great review of these!
Thanks for the video! I love Floofles!
Thanks! I was curious to try the colour pencils, now I kn. ow
You should do a video with you doodling, its so satisfying! 😍
Pencils! Haha I was expecting paints 😁😂 thank you for the review!
you are so adorable! such a cute energy
your opinion is your opinion dont ever apologize for having your own feelings and opinions if people get upset because you dont like the colored pencils that they do they have bigger issues LMFAOOOO girl stay gorgeous and remember you never need to apologize for being genuine and honest…. keep spreading joy and positivity the world needs more people like you right now!
Floofles is so cute!
Hey Mira,hope you're doing well.I knew right away that these were gonna consist of these coloured pencils as @Superraedizzle also did one like that!☺🍃
Mira the markers are for calligraphy and by the looks of the marker it seems like a alternative to a Tombow Dual Brush Pen.
Thanks for the review!
I'm really interested in the brush pens, they look like they'd be a good dupe( especially since it gave a holder too) for tombow and when you go though a color you can replace it with towbow
Yes! They feel a lot like Tombow, but Tombow has achieved a lot softer colors. That's an excellent idea to slowly replace them with Tombow markers. I might actually do that. Thank you!!
I'm interested to see that a stand was included in the marker set, but I thought that double- ended markers should be stored horizontally, to keep the ink available at both ends... I keep my markers flat in a tin on it's side, so I can pull out the colour I want to use.
I literally just got the 24 colored pencil set!!! Love them so far.
I can’t believe you did those dreadlocks so well!!!
I love your doodling vids
Question, with the markers, given that they are water based, if you use a damp paintbrush, do they blend and do the streaky lines disappear?
I was really hopeful for the markers, because I LOVE my Tombow, but they are so gosh-darned expensive. It’s unfortunate they are so streaky. I’ve tried a bunch of different water-based markers, and most of them are streaky, but Tombow are the least streaky I’ve tried (other than the Arteza watercolor brush pens, but I can’t control the brush tip that well compared to the Tombow).
I call my cats Floofles, sometimes! Such a cute name.
Loved the video! Sending you hugs from Sweden ☺️
i have amazon basics paintbrushes, They are actually really good. when i got them i bought them myself. they are really good they have lasted really well (i do on,u just use water couler🥰)
What a nice review.. With a bonus of cute floofles
Don’t think your bad at art keep trying and trying and you will achieve your goal I haven’t achieved mine yet but I’m still trying just keep going and you will get it right!!
This vid is really making me want to draw idk why! I havent drawn in weeks.. i really want to right now, but im in the middle of getting a room makeover amd all my things are in my mums room i have to sleep in my sisters room for a few days coz of it but i just really wanna draw for some reason!
The pencil kit is great! I got it for my birthday and it’s amazing unless your dog eats the eraser
I look forward to the Adventures of Floofles. So cute!
Hi! Thanks for testing out the products. Since you liked the dual tip, water-based markers, how does it blend with water? Just curious now since they are such a great price!
One really good cheap art supply company that has their stuff on Amazon is Stationery Island. Their stuff is really quite cheap but really good as well! They even do cheap alcohol markers, and they're amazing!
O adore your hedgehog. He is so cute and honestly that's how I would draw a hedgehog. It's clearly a hedgehog... and so sweeeet... love it...
Good video also your hair looks so good
Your a really great artist i wish i was better in art i like to draw and doodle and im kinda in the middle of artwork i draw whatever but yeah it was cool watching this vid
please do a video on unexpensive art supplies!!! also.. more art supplies videos!!!
Could the Floofle be part hedgehog, part porcupine? It’s adorable!
Nice review on the products. The markers make me think of Tombows. Also, where did you get your nice pencil sharpener?
I’ve been on a small hiatus with my art, although I did recently buy some more supplies. Just gotta find time to work on it. (I have a lot of hobbies).
Aw, I like the idea of a hybrid hedgehog/porcupine!! And I got it from Amazon. It's a Mitsubishi pencil sharpener.
I would love it if you started trying out less expensive brand's of everything, from pencils ✏, to acrylic paint, that even includes media paper 📃 and etc.
This was a great and honest review.
