People who complain about how someone pronounced a word from a non native language probably can’t speak a second one.
Right! I feel the same way
True!
Yess
The passive-aggressive 'Here's some Swedish words you can practice' is a mood I live for.
Right😂😂😂 I was like:😒
same
I paused the video and tried to say several with my extremely cursory german knowledge and don't think I succeeded. XD
does anyone know what they translate into?
@@MidoriMushrooms No clue ^^' - I guess German (which is my native language) and Swedish aren't similar enough. If I were to try and get those translated I'd probably go with the homepages of langenscheidt or pons. Those are the most reliable in my experience :)
@@MidoriMushrooms yea, västkust is westcoast, röd is red, lärare is teacher, skärbräda is cuttingboard, tjugosju is 27, öl is beer and sjuksköterska is nurse, :)
Yes, would definitely like to see the comparison between Arteza and Faber Castell.
Here it is: Arteza is a run-of-the-mill brand, FC is a professional brand. You simply can't compare the two. Even FC's lower-grade pencils will outperform the highest-grade Arteza pencils.
@@leonnehaaijman4709 of course, but I'd sitll like to see it! :-)
There isn’t any comparison between Arteza and Faber Castell Polychromos. It’s like comparing a Rolls Royce to a bicycle.
I would love a comparison between differente colored pencils 'cause I've started using polychromes (a small pack lol) for my mixed media works (I use watercolors and pencils to strength some parts!) and I love them but they are REALLY expensive
Same! I bought mine before the quarantine here, at the end of february, before they closed all the shops and they made a bit of sale on packs! BUT they are so gooooood T.T
Zodiac which package did you get and how much did they cost? Bc I love my prismacolors😍
arteza pencils can be water reactive, so test before using with any mixed media or even sealing spray. People are Mad!! Wax should not melt in water
"Here's some Swedish words you can practice in your spare time..." THE SHADE
That owl on the box has just realized he's a drawing
Haha! I love how you nicetally told folks to eff off about how you say color. 💕💕💕 I love you so much. Lol
"Here are some Swedish words you can practice in your spare time." 😆 You tell 'em.
Also, the drawing looks great!
I was soo glad you reorganised them into colour order. That’s what I always do and it looked soo much better I actually relaxed my shoulders.
Also, I’d love to see a side by side comparison!
I thought almost everyone were bilingual. I live in Norway and here everyone have to learn at least two foreign languages in school and two versions of the Norwegian language. I currently know Norwegian, new Norwegian, English and German. I ain’t that good at German yet though. I am just 15 years old, so I am going to and have to learn more German in high school.
I've been using them a few months. If you're going to be using them for only blending 3 colors max they're very good, great if you like pencils that really saturate the paper. If you're going for lots of blending or later almost like a painting technique, these aren't the pencils for you. They get waxy very quickly, especially the light colors. I would suggest a harder core pencil. They also aren't great if you want a more subtle palette. They're quite vibrant. Great for most coloring books, but maybe not for all illustrations
They are pretty soft too, so I'm constantly sharpening them. Great for a casual colorer or beginner artist.
Just flexing her bilinguality at us 👌🏿
I liked the sort of earth/pastelly pencils. Those are my favourite colours. The more pastel a colour is, the more I like them. So tray 5 is my favourite. This is another of your good wuality art videos that I love. Katt can you ever do a drawing lessons set of videos please? I would love that and I am sure lots of folks would love that too. Thank you.
Beautiful art piece ! I would like a video with the Arteza vs the Polychromos. I like my polychromos but I barely use my Arteza ones. After seeing this video I’m going to give them another try 👊🏻 I have the same problem with the tips, so that’s mostly the reason of not using them.
Thanks for this amazing illustration!
I saw your video notification coming in, and instantly I wanted to see it. So now I dropped my paintbrush over my artwork, that will be a restart for me tomorrow
I love how bright and fun your drawing was- you have a great eye for colors
One thing you can do to help get rid of the white bits in the drawing is using paint thinner to blend out the pencil crayon between layers and it makes it nice and smooth
I just purchased myself a 72-count pack of pencils and I’m very excited! This video is the only video that actually helped me decide if I wanted them or not. I want to thank you for this video, also I love your humor!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The drawing is gorgeous as always ..You will find those pencils are the more like the Prismacolors as they are wax based ..Polychromos are Oil based. 😀
Lol Marie getting preemptively feisty with the Trolls. Love it. Honestly, I wish my second language skills were this good. Very admirably skilled!
i really love the way this artwork turned out it's absolutely gorgeous!! i love the color choices it feels very whimsical and bright!
I am glad you started doing videos again. I really like all or your reviews and art. Keep up the good work!! 😊❤
I did exactly the same with my 72 Arteza set: swatched them and rearranged them by color right away haha! And totally agree with your review: really nice pencils for a great price, but I do wish there were more lighter tones in there as well.
Hey....art challenge for u....put all your favorite characters in a box, then put different body types in another box, then u will draw your character in that body types...for more of a challenge use only animal characters...btw I love your drawings....
Number 5 has to be my favorite layer😍 gorgeous blue 💕💞 these look ten times better quality then my pencils already😭 and I'm two minutes in!!!
Great review and final drawing. I love your color choices and I love whimsical scenes.
I seriously laughed so hard when you put up the Swedish words for us to practice! 😂 But actually I'm learning Norwegian (Bokmål) so I'm tempted to try and see if I can manage it. My Norwegian cousins say they can chat with their Swedish relatives without switching languages to an extent, so...
I hope I'm not the only one who read "adorable"
Your not-
Burp Gun get over it grammar nazi
@Burp Gun Stop using the word trigger incorrectly.
Yeah your the only one
Cute drawing! I like layering coloured pencils over markers, that way you only get a little bit of that grainy texture, and if you dont have that many markers you can get a lot of new colour shades
The pencils are supposed to be waxy, if you read the description, they're wax based. I'm thinking of getting the 72 set of these coloured pencils, and this review really helped - as well as your other reviews!
this review was very informative and helpful! and I love how cheerful you always seem to be! keep loving your art and illustrations
I love the colorscheme of the 5th layer, somehow reminds me of a sunny day at the oceanside ^^. I'd probably rearrange them a lot like you did ;) And I really like your curious little, three-eyed deerling. It looks soooo derpy and goofy (derpy and goofy in a good way, of course :3)
I love your videos since your my little pony speedpait videos I think you are the first art youtuber that I discovered LOVE YOU ❤️
Beautiful picture and coloring! I've just started my coloring pencils journey. The last set I bought was the 72 Souculor set. Now I'm wondering if I need more colors.
When you first sketched the deer i snorted cause it looked so cute. But i would loove to see a side by side with these pencils with others. Im recently getting back into my pencils!!
Thank you for making this video it was really helpful.😊❤ I think I might get the arteza colored pencils smaller set though. Your art turned out so amazing and colorful end vibrant. I absolutely adore it.😍😆💕
This is one of my favourite artworks of yours ❤❤ it's so gorgeous I cannot find a single flaw
Love the sassy little "here are some Swedish words to practice in your spare time" 🤣 I think your accent is quite lovely actually! Great review.
I understood what i did wrong when i used color pencils! thank you! also, love your artwork. its so cute and colorful and beautiful
btw, if you want to get rid of the paper showing, you have to "polish" the illustration. Like, get a olor pencil the collor of the paper and go real strong over all the parts. It makes everything really beautiful and seamless. Also, you may want to use a utulity cutter to sharpen the pencils, it works much better than a pencil sharpener and you loose way less collor lead.
You can blend colored pencil out with zest-it, or mineral spirit, or brush & Pencil powder blender, or colorless blender in pencil shape, or burnisher also shaped like a pencil. The first three blend medium allow you to put pencil layers on top.
I would be interested in the opaqueness of white and the way white works placed under, on top and both with any color.
When it comes to layering there is sanded paper or pastelmat well suited for.
Should you compare Faber to Arteza these are also measures of quality - how well desolves arteza with mineral spirit compared to Faber? How many layers before it is fully saturated? How opaque on black? How compare the whites?
By the way brush & pencil also has a texture spray to increase the number of layers with pencil. Jackson Art should have zest it, a liquid colored pencil blender much like mineral spirits and the products from brush & pencil, should you be interested in these products. As far as I know those are the only places to get them from with in Europe, at least as long as the UK is in the transition period.
It's a deerclops of course! Duh... lol, loved this video, I have been wanting these pencils so thanks a bunch for trying them for us! ♥️♥️♥️ stay safe😷
Great review. I had actually purchased this 160 set from a reputable art supply seller on Ebay, just before Christmas last year. Everytime I went to sharpen one, the nib broke. I discovered nearly all the Pencils were broken inside.The Ebay seller refunded me, though they had offered to replace them.
I use Caren' D ache and inktense Pencils.
The Arteza Pencils, I must admit to not liking them very much. Though the set was made for professional artists, I didn't like the texture of the colours on the paper, and they felt scratchy on thinner paper. I'd tried them in a colouring book, (which was why I had bought them, then I could use my expensive set for my artwork.) I wasn't impressed with them, preferring still my cheaper ones I'd had for years.
I've tried several of their art products up to now, I have to admit, that they're not for me. Maybe it's due to being used to using my go to brands, as I do own cheaper brands of things, and use them frequently in my artwork. So I'm far from being an art snob.. Lol... I can't afford that luxury lol...
Keep safe, hope your OK, this lock down were experiencing in the UK is really becoming strict now. I do hope they irradicate this virus soon, or we will quite possibly end up with a world of people who have gone nuts!!
Love your illustration! At the beginning, you commented on your pronunciation of some words, like "color." I love your accent! Don't worry, we understand you, and that's what's important. We all have accents to people of different areas and families. Love your whole channel, too!
I like the second layer of colours because of the pinks and reds, and blues
Beautiful piece, well done.
Also, Swedish is a gorgeous language. I hope to become fluent someday and retire in Sweden...it's my ultimate life goal. I hope your comments at the beginning were not because some tiny-brain trolls don't appreciate that educated people speak more than one language.
Layer 5 was my favourite, I love the earth tones. But I tend to be obsessive about keeping my art supplies in the order they came in the original packaging, and not having the color groups together would really bother me.
I would love to see a comparison with the Faber Castell pencils. If you do that, could you also test blending with mediums like mineral spirits or baby oil?
Yes, please compare the arteza professional with the polychromos ^^
Omg a moment of silence to admire how beautiful this looks 12:27
very cute brightly coloured drawing :) some of the colours do look pretty similar, so it seems like a big set like that isn't worth it. better to get a smaller set almost
They are a great company and stand behind everything they sell. I had a problem with a few of the pencils and they sent me a whole new set. Not what I expected
Interested in trying these...I got a huge set of prisma colors 2 years ago after wanting them for a decade and i was so disappointed in their quality! The pencils don't last (they wear out so quickly!) And the pigment is disappointing 😔 I barely use them
derwent color pencils are pretty good too and those are not that expensive! :)
Caran D'ache's Pablo, Luminous, Supracolor Soft Museum are up there with Faber Castell's Polychromos and Albrect. Don't know Japanese made Holbein's quality as I've never tried Holbien Pencils.
Love when Mary gets a little shady! 😍💅
I love your accent haha. Love your videos too:) have a great week everyone
I agree, looking over your swatches, there's a great midtone range, but not enough lights. I'm wondering about darks? I realize you were doing a limited palette in a twilight theme, but do you think there's a good variety of dark tones in the set?
Your illustration is dreamy. I was transfixed for a while and forgot my worries. Thank you for that. 💕
I found this late because I was investigating what some of the art-tubers I trust had to say about them. Thanks for the review! I did laugh at your Swedish comment. I passed it on to a Swedish friend of mine because he wanted to know what words they were. He translated them - as an English only speaker they're a mystery to me. As others have said, though, the internet needs to calm down. Not everyone pronounces words the same, and what's the big deal? This is especially true of people who are smart enough to speak more than one language. I only speak English. Badly half the time.
I love the 5th layer since i work with more earthy tones
Definitely interested in seeing the side-by-side comparison - even better if you could add in the Prismacolor Premier pencils. Prismas are my favourite and I like my Polychromos too but because of the prices I only have the 72 pack of Prismas (found a serious bargain in an Amazon sale) and the 60 pack of Polychromos (a very generous birthday present from my best friend) so if the Arteza are up to the standard of these brands it would be absolutely fantastic and a lot easier to save up for. (It takes me a long time as I'm disabled and unable to work).
I felt so much better when you put them into colour order, it was giving me real anxiety seeing the weird order they put them in! 😊
To cut down on the white spaces left in the paper grain try using a wet blending medium such as odourless mineral spirits (I use Gamsol) on a dried up brush marker, paintbrush, cotton bud, paper stump etc to blend the colours together. This melts the wax/oil pigment together and gets rid of that texture and really makes it a lot smoother. It also refreshes a little bit of the tooth of the paper and means that you can get more layers 😊
Hope these tips help 😊
Omg I JUST bought these an hour ago..great timing!🤣💖
I think color pencils are nice for details or final touchups but then I don't need 120 , maybe a 12 or 24 set . I usually don't like the generic sets so I pick single colors as I need them
Marie... i have been a long time subscriber of yours and love your videos... just this morning i was telling me bestie that if people dont like the way you look thats their problem not yours same with how you pronounce things i assume your first language is not english i love when your voice! Just be you! This is your channel don’t apologize for being you! You are an amazing artist and if someone (or some people) doesn’t like the way you say one word that shouldn’t be your problem. That sounds like their problem and to be hateful on the internet shows they have nothing better in their lives. i have seen other channels i don’t like it isn’t that hard to change videos or turn it off i never leave hateful comments. You be you gurl! You are bad ass and people will always hate just brush it off!
Very helpful! I would love to see a full review of different colour pencil brands. I have been looking at a few different sets, and am not sure what to buy. Not sure if i even know what qualities to look for with this medium....
random suggestion: I think you could draw a picture of your cats!(if you haven't already)
idk where that came from but superRaeDizzle drew a picture of her dog so yeh maybe you could draw a picture of your cats
That's such an amazing picture. Love it and thanks for the review. 🤗💕 Stay save!
I have a 72 set of these pencils. I dont hate them but they aren't as good as the prismacolors I'm used to. It's very hard to press down and get a ton of pigment on the paper without hurting your hand. Which is mostly a personal preference thing for me, but they aren't bad at all, but if you're used to prismacolors like I am, they work very differently, you've gotta build up colors a lot more slowly
They can easily blend with my finger or blending stump that’s why I love em .
I love the result! The texture makes it even better 💛 and to me it looks like a fox-deer 🦊🦌
With three eyes👀
I like the Artezas but I got faber castle water color pencils for my birthday last year and I fell in love with them. Maybe this year for christmas I can get artezas😷🥰
Can you recommend any cheap Coloured pencils? Im still trying to learn coloured pencils (I mostly dont color since i suck at it.) and dont mind getting fewer sets (24 minimum) since im still a beginner.
ive laid my eyes on Faber castell, Arteza, Prismacolors. Thanks!
Oh I’d love to see them being compared!! Love you art!!!!!
So beautiful. I love the layering.👌💖
Tip start light then layer darker to help with lighting and carefully layer
I love the color palette you used! I i've been using a similar one lately!
I love layer 5! I have the I believe it's 72 pencils set and it doesn't have that layer. It reminds of the beach and the sea!
What a beautiful picture x
I think the Arteza pencils are wax based while the polychromos are oil based. Oil based pencils tend to be more expensive than wax based from what I've seen. I'd like to see you compare them. I've wanted to try Arteza but Im not sure if I want to try them because wax based pencils usually leave pigment dust, which is sensory hell for me.
Liam Lockheart Art you can easily get rid of the dust by just standing the paper up, it all fall out since that’s how gravity works..
You can you a dry or soft brush to prevent it from making marks on the paper
Cartoons are awesome
Great art as usual. 😻 Everyone can see that the creature is a AspHjort.
Lovely illustration, so colorful 💕💕
Finished art is just so beautiful 😍
Hello, I know it is probably not likely for you to do this since I know a video is hard to do but could you please do a video reviewing a cheap kids art supplies and review them like professional art supplies. Thanks 😊
I am a fan of the Arteza pencils. I find they do great.
Hi I would've liked to see how different colour families blend and layer, like complimentary colours and how it looks if burnishing with white, or a burnishing pencil, or can it be blended with spirits. How would these pencils work on Bristol Board. How exhaustive are they on the hand compared to Polychromos.
you should try sonnet watercolors
Yes, Please do a comparison. 💖
Are they oil based like Polychromous or wax based like Prismacolor? Comparing them to Polychromous if they are wax based would not be a valid comparison.
The fifth one is gorgeous 😍
I guess this is a good set to start with coloured pencils. Unfortunately I already have so many at home 😂
I actually love your accent, especially how you say color. I’ve been hearing impaired my whole life so I had a very bad impediment as a kid and pronounced everything “wrong” and people always laughed at me. I hated it and I still do when people point out shit like that. Like if you directly say a word and then go “is that how you say it??” Then that’s the only time you should correct someone in a casual encounter like this video.
one and three for sure!
I've heard good things about the tube set of 48 triangular ones - I believe the shape is the only real difference. I am a fan of the shape as they don't roll away when you put them down.They're a good price. It seems that the larger sets might not be worth it, if so many colours are similar. Is it just me or were there not very many reds? A smaller set would be a good choice for more serious beginners - I'm expecting my set of 48 triangular ones this week. I'll see how they compare to my polychromos, prismacolor and Derwent colour soft... I may have too many pencils 😆
The triangular ones aren't the same quality. They are 'Premium' but the professional ones are 'Expert'.
Probably really good too.
I like to lay down marker first and then use pencil to minimize all of the white space that shows through with just pencil.
I would love to see that Faber-Castell Vs. Arteza pencil video!! I’m looking to buy some colored pencils that are good quality and pigmented without breaking on me like Prismacolor! 😅😂🤣
Really nice art! I love how grainy it looks ❤️
What is a good, cheaper alternative to prismacolors? The color pencils should blend well and good pigment
Hey! I just wanted to say that I really love your videos
Can you test pencils on both white and black paper? I only use black paper for my drawings and can not find many videos with pencils on black paper
absolutely died at the "heres some swedish words to practice"
had to immediately show my danish bf just this vid for that cause how much some my friends say he says words wrong (vampire sounds like wampire and i personally think its better)
Omgg that salty intro though xD Love it! Sjuksköterska is actually my favourite swedish word I've learned so far :D It looks so TERRIFYING to pronounce XD
Such a fun drawing! TFS! ❤️🇨🇦
Her: "This is what a pencil look like "
Me: I'm not stupid, i've seen pencils before.
