What's your take on cheap art supplies? Would you rather pay $1 for a LOT of cheap supplies that barely work, or $1 for a few more quality supplies? I'm curious to know!
Kasey Golden your amazing
Quality art supplies instead of a lot of cheap ones
Notice meeeeeee plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I would rather have quality products!
Cailey Shae Reardon agreed
Speaking economically, japan has what is known as a quality bubble. A quality bubble meams that their is no point in companies raising their price for quality because other competitors will have cheaper prices so everything stays the same price but quality improves
Whoa that is so interesting
Oh wow clap for Physics
Time to move to Japan
@@sinixe9073 can I come with
@@TeethHoarderr I'm coming with, too
If the cheap Japanese art supplies are so good just imagine the quality of some expensive Japanese art supplies
like copics? LMAO
Plantlinqq !Even copics are super cheap in Japan, they cost less than $3
Ana Coleman shit man. Watch me go to Japan for my honeymoon just to get art stuff. My main media is alcohol based markers (usually the cheapest ones they have at Michaels) and 3 bucks is amazing for copics, and I could only imagine how cheap the chao sets would be
Wait, how much does Copics cost in America? It's only $2.70 in my local Japanese bookstore but my parents still think that's expensive lmao.
Virginia they cost like 7 dollars
Air hostess: so why are you coming to Japan? The city, the attractions?
Me: CHEAP ART SUPPLIES!!!
What's the point of cheap art supplies and expensiv food make up your priorities you can draw with art supplies and have fun but you cant eat them
Hahaha
😂😂😂
"purple is toxic"
YoU hAVe BeEN BLoCKEd By drawingwiffwaffles
Haha thats what I thought
True
Lol
Lol i like the both so much and one love purple and one hate purple and I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO THINK NOW!
But I love purple! :o
I know this just proves what a watercolour noob I am, but I never would have thought to put the white pencil crayon down before painting to make the highlights. These tools might be cheap but your execution with them makes them look top tier!
SAME! I was like... wow, I'm so impressed by this, but I feel like this is watercolor 101, haha.
I'm not sure if you ever did it in elementary. But they yes to make you draw a hard line on one piece of paper and draw lightly over it with crayon and you get a picture. That's how I slowly learned about highlights atleast
It works with crayon and pastel aswell
WhatTheFridge 1o1 Oh cool! Good to know 😁
PopCross Animations im the 1k like :D
Note to self: go to japan and buy art supplies
dude whole trip to jpn is MUCH expencive then those supplies
Note to self:go live in japan
Note to self: save up monet instead of spending it on useless crap
And anime stuff
I've been there twice and still haven't bought any supplies. I'm stupid I know

Sakura in Japan- hey can you go to the dollar store and get me some Sakura watercolor
Lol accurate
I don't live in japan, but the microns are like 2 dollars here. So it's kind of ok. But stuff like crayola are like 10-50 dollars. Even tho in North America it's supposed to be 1 dollar.
Lmao crayola is not normally a dollar in North America

Describing prussian blue as "least toxic" is...ironic, to say the least...
Tinna Gigja too soon 😂
Hush
*I dont get it ; - ;*
@@kaileyy2991 they are saying it is ironic because the color prussian blue is made from cyanide salt(sorry this is late)
Miss Catchri that wouldn’t be irony, that would be coincidence.
The paint is actually a refill for the Sakura paint set I live in Japan and when I run out of paint , etc, I usually buy the refill paint in Daiso , seria , 100円shop that’s why they come on separately
I hope japan knows how lucky they are .
You said it
they know, thats why these kind of good stuff exist, because people appreciate it
Cael Devers I mean, they aren't that lucky. Do you know how much it costs to live there? And compared to the US, a lot of jobs such as a software engineer or a doctor get payed alot less in japan than the US. Food can be more expensive, houses are far more expensive and even some products can be more expensive (of course, excluding art supplies lmao)

Just a tip for everybody~
I found a pack of 11 PaperMate Inkjoy gel pens for about $8 at Walmart (in North America). They’re water proof (for me at least) and come in 3 different sizes. I use them for my watercolors and Copics.
YOU HAVE CATS?!?!?!?!?!?
... can we meet them?😊
When Kasey said she hates purple I heard a cry from DrawingWithWaffles
Same.
Oh and ten people unsubscribed

Purple is my favourite colour
Nice unipanda comment
Purple is the best
The “medical thing” is a syringe 😂😂😂
I think she knows its a syringe-
Wow I totally didn’t know that. Thanks.
Haha! I kind of found it funny as well when the said "medical thing" , no hate though just my bad sense of humor! :3
*No shit sherlock*
And wrong syringes are pointy-_-
For everyone who doesn’t understand yen
100¥ - $1
So then 1000¥ - $10
And then 10,000¥ - $100
This probably wasn’t helpful 😅
i'll just go on and say to remove two zeros of the number (of yen) if its a number like 100, its easy to remember that way.
what about 1¥?? is it .01?
REEE EEE yes it is
@@ChrysanthemumLelie yeah that's how I remember it, especially when I go out in town to buy things instead of buying on military bases here
Oh wow so in the comics 50,000¥ was only 500 that's alot but still
I want to live in Japan
Me to
Same it's always been a dream
Japanese schools are probably insanely competitive tho
Weeb
No you don’t. They hate everyone who isn’t Japanese and you will be heavily discriminated against. It isn’t as bad in tourist spots tho.
Every time you say that you hate purple my heart breaks a little because purple is my favourite color ;_;
It's also one of my favs and I was heart broken

Ruxree me too 💜
I’ve wondered why she dislikes purple so much for a while now.. and why she calls it “toxic”... anybody know?
why cant there be an online japanese dollar store
Wish.com
There are daiso’s (Japanese dollar stores) in America
I looked at the replies and was expecting someone to say:
OH! Actually there is one, here is the link:hddhhshsbwuwjCheapCoolSuplies.com
But there is nothing...
There is, but I think it's bulk
try amazon?
The Japanese are known for quality, specially when it comes to art. Many factors go into pricing, like distribution being more expensive in the USA because of the vast distances, or supply and demand. I'm sure a larger percentage of Japanese people are into creating art than American buyers. All combined contributes to their better price for better quality.
will y'all ignore the fact that kasey did a fanart
"This is the reason I hate purple" that hurts kasey... that hurts...💜

Everybody has different opinions on things,not everybody's favourite colour is purple.

In Germany we have the watercolor brand "Schmincke"
Hella expensive but so worth it. I got a whole box of those from my dad because he quit drawing. A real treaure.
And funnily enough the word "Schmincke" sounds like the German word for "Make up"
That is the brand she normally uses...
“Purple is toxic”
DrawingWiffWaffles wants to know your location
Music Tho i thought i was so original when i commented that. turns out-
Would you say these Japanese watercolors are better than the Artist Loft brand watercolors you started off with?
100%. 😂
The freaking daiso watercolor pack literally is better than the artist grade watercolor that reeves sells.
A japanese person in America:
Art supplies here are awful!😡
Everyone else in Japan:
Art supplies here are cheap and amazing🤩🤩🤩
Polly The Hedgie that’s not true at all I’m Japanese and I love art supplies from America
Polly The Hedgie || that's kind of racist
@@yogurtbitez how is that racist...
Brave Warrior of the Sea || I was joking but okay
it was also kind of stereotypical.
@@yogurtbitez uhhh okay..
It doesn’t matter what supplies you use. It’s because you’re an advanced artist and you know how to work with materials and improvise if needed
Me: theres a dollarama in america?
Kasey: *mentions canada*
Me: OHHHHH no wonder why! And she also has muji :-000
I so agree with you! A few years ago I wanted to try watercolor, but I didn't know any better. So I just bought some cheap stuff from a local craft store and decided it wasn't for me. Later on, my boyfriend bought mw my first actual watercolors, the cotmans, and I loved it. I really realised that quality is important and the cotmans are actually quite affordably. It gave me the chance to upgrade and go for artist paints, but I will always baby my cotmans because they got me started!
Exactly this! I just hate for people to get scared away by bad quality products. Just buy a couple of tubes of decent paints, that's all you need! :(
@@KaseyTheGolden Yes! Quality doesn't have to break the bank. I just wish I knew that when I wanted to start and I am so grateful for my boyfriend to get me to try again!
Li's NailLife tbh w&n cotman is my first decent enough set of water colors and I am in love with it, thanks to that set of 12 i started seriously doing watercolor
@@a7xmaNga I want to say same, but honestly don't remember what brand really got me into watercolors. I also used to not like watercolors at all, now I love them!
What do you think about Faber Castell watercolours ? They seem nice to me
Im always like to my sister, "i really want to go to a japanese or korean dollar store" shes like why. THIS IS WHY, IM SHOOOK
Same so much quality for cheap
big mood; japan probably knows theyll get their things sold way faster and sooner if they produced high quality things unlike america.
which has balding barbie knock offs, watercolor thats just chalk, and markers that dont work :)
Perhaps Japan law about toxicity isn't as strict as say, the US so that's maybe one of the reasons why they can sell better quality paints, ie toxic paints because cheap art supplies tend to be for kids, hence the lowest toxic possible and therefore, crap.
I'm not sure about that but I don't think that's true. Many Japanese love their stationary products and art supplies. It may be a supply and demand thing.
@@sakitrain7766 yeah sounds pretty accurate. Also video games are cheaper there and I'm thinking probably instax films are cheaper too. I know here in Australia some stuff costs a lot more but you also have to consider the average wage. I have no idea what the wage is in Japan.
Anaëlle L. When she says toxic she just means the intense/ neon colours
I dun think she literally meant “toxicity” ... she is jus commenting on how much she doesn’t like the colors
I saw one of those pens at the art store yesterday and it was like 5-6 dollars , and that was a clearance store ;_;
pidgeon people still like homestuck literally 2009 days what the hell 😂
I love the simplicity of your art and you don’t worry or care about details and just have fun making it
I honestly think this is one of my favorite videos of hers I'm love the paints, with them being a cheap alternative, and the results.

thank u so much for expkaining the watercolor going over the line art and looking weird. I always thaught i did smth wrong or i was just not precise with applying the materials. For now i prefer using cheaper art supplies cause if i bought professional things id be super anxious wasting them
Same!
We have a Daiso here in Texas. It's basically a 200 yen store, which works out to 1.50 US. I have never once been disappointed in anything I bought there. And I buy a lot, lol. They don't have a huge selection of art supplies, but between the art and stationary supplies I have purchased quite a few of my favorite, regularly used supplies there. I really wish there was a Japanese version of Wish. I would buy all the things! 😁
Michelle Clifton they have a ton of cute stuff. I love daiso! I would love a Japanese dollar store online but shipping might get expensive tbh.
In what city?
@@kellyc5312 Arlington
In Indonesia,there's a lot of Daiso here😉
@@jillianyuana That's so cool. I haven't gone in a while. I think I might go there tomorrow. 😁
I just recently found your channel AND I’M WATCHING ALL YOUR VIDEOS! You’re amazingly talented!
I really love this idea. Good thinking Kasey👍
If anyone is looking for cheap art supplies Michaels has some decent packs of paint brushes for $5. XL is a good and cheap brand when it comes to sketchpads(cheapest at walmart). There's also a student grade brand called reeves that has a lot of different types of paint. The quality is decent and a pack of paint tubes is only $8. Amazon tends to be fair when it comes to supply pricing and get the Michael's app, There's always decent coupons on there.
Definitely agree for Reeves and Artist Loft as starter brands but once you move into Prismacolor, Winser and Newton, etc. you DEFINITELY need to move to Amazon. Michaels ups their prices SO bad on the more expensive art supplies. Even with the 60% coupon it still won’t beat Amazon.
@@eyess_cosm Amazon is best for bulk buys of art supplies but for individual thing you should go to Dick Blick or Jerry's Artarama they have good prices for individual open stock things (Brushes, paint tubes,Markers Pens etc)
I live in japan lol
I love daiso and I go there almost everyday after school because I have one near school
I love japan
Meri lol yes exact like that
Daiso also has great watercolor for a cheap price. My friend bought me a 8 set watercolor and its vibrant! Great for starters!
I live in south east asia, we have daiso too. But the only good thing that is cheaper there are the umbrellas and the pill boxes.
But the markers in minisou is really nice and cheap tho.
Lol I agree with you I love DAISO too
But I envy you bcoz ur in Japan
catonatree meri *[cries in American]*
I love your videos so much!!!! And your art style is amazing !❤️
I used to hate watercolor because I thought it was messy and not good for paper. (I didn't have watercolor paper then though.) Then I stumbled into your vids and they motivated me to give watercolor a chance and I'm really happy I did! I'm still learning though but I'm off to a good start. Thank you Kasey ^^
Wow this is a very good idea! And wow Japan's dollar stores have a lot more than in america
Have you ever tried Muji pens? They’re my favorite pens ever and I love illustrating with them
I've tried some of them! I have a Muji haul video where I try out some of their supplies!
Kasey Golden I’ll have to go check it out ☺️👍🏻
I picked up some black Muji gel pens this year and ended up using all the way through Inktober, they've definitely become some of my favourites.
*sigh* i want and actually can buy and try them. But muji gel pens are the kind of stuff that i would sell my soul to some evil lord if i could get the full pack of them. So I'm restraining myself from buying them.
Della Apw I mean I sold my soul for them and I feel like it was worth it
i have one of those palettes you were holding from daiso!!! it’s really great to get cheap art supplies there
Its so colourfulllllll i love itttt

THESE ARE SO DANG CUTE! It's nice to let go and just draw something without thinking once in a while, isn't it?
Wow, those are very watery... watercolors. I’m used to seeing them come out of the tube really thick like toothpaste. They paint pretty good for a buck a piece, though! Too bad we don’t have a hundred yen store in America. Our dollar stores suuuuuuuck. Everything I buy here, even though it’s only a dollar, makes me feel ripped off.
Some were VERY thick, some were almost straight water. If you could see, the purple even came out blue at first. They're $1... so I can't complain. They probably just settled or something, haha.
Kasey Golden they were 100¥ for one, right?
Kasey Golden, you are golden, as your name states, you’re awesome 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 w/ watercolor and just art in general!!!

Gosh, you didn't tell which 100 yen shop that was xD I've never seen watercolors like that in any shop I've been, only that stuff for kids in palettes
TBH, I have no idea, ack! So sorry, I'm a fool for not taking note. I went to a lot of ¥100 shops and only a couple had these paints in them.
I'm seeing some commenters saying daiso has them
I love your videos Kasey!! You always make my day! Also, it's great to see another Kasey!!❤️ go Kasey's with a 'K'!❤️
Wow this was amazing to watch. Japan seriously has some good quality cheap things. My mind is blown 😍
I love buying my art supplies from Daiso Japan! I got the water colors in a set of 12 tubes for $1.50 and a palette that has space for 20 colors. Their pens are wonderful also as are their mechanical pencils. They have calligraphy supplies, paper crafting items like punches, washi tape, paper cutters and tiny xacto style cutters in a pen. My daughter loves their needle felting supplies and pompom kits.
In india water proof pens cost 15 cents
Auby Besties they are one of the best
But the value of money in India is higher than the one in North America that’s why😂🤓😇
Auby Besties lol
Those colors drew me in and I was not disappointed
I love your Ampharos! It's do cute and happy!
My first experience with watercolors were the ones from the dollar store and they were the already dried than activated by basically drowning it in water, back then my mom got it for me and she got this news paper thin paper. Whenever I used it I had to put something under it since it no matter what would stain on my table, and the colors started popping out of the pan. Then later on in my art elective we used watercolors again still the already dried ones but like a singular drop of water would activate it immediately, and I had a mixed media pad (to swatch the colors) and watercolor paper and it was amazing! We recreated the water lillies (forgot by who) and it definitely changed my mind about watercolors!

Hi. Love your art.
Walnart has some pretty good stuff. Also i am so tempted to get these as my school uses very very dirt cheap not even good quality art supplies so i may get this in the future especially since i have recently gotten into watercolor
The way she put the watercolor in the pallet is SO satisfying
How come anything made or bought in Japan is such higher quality then like anywhere else..
What is this witchcraft
In japan they don’t raise prices due to quality because their competitors will have lower prices and they’ll lose business :)
The minimum wage is low, and the cheapest prices get the most buyers.

I can relate, Sometimes the purple is too Dark, Bright or does not look like purple! There's alot of times people say my favorite color purple looks like a dark blue!
I im convinced that you're the water color master it just brings life into your artwork 😀
