There's another difference that's important for adult colouring. The Lyra ones are more like an actual watercolour and the Neocolor II more a waxy gouache, making the Lyra ones better for layering coloured pencils over them. Many pencils don't work well over the Neocolor II, unless you dilute them heavily with water. So maybe you can add such test when comparing those other ones?
Interesting. I've never had issues using pencils on top of my dissolved Neo2. So it is good to know.
I've experienced the same issue. Spray fixative can help that a bit, if you ever need to layer pencils on top of a heavy application of neocolors.
As a realistic artist who also works in mixed media, I have never experienced an issue using pencils over neocolor 2…maybe it’s the pencil brand you are using or the paper? Neither do I find them waxy when diluted. I can also layer no problem. I only use 300gsm cotton watercolour paper with them usually.
@@Kyomiibrown no, I believe it's because I use them very thickly. When used that way, they even work on Amazon paper. But then, due to the thicker layer, only Posca Pencils work a bit on them, as it's very waxy.
This is a great comment and I thought it was just my imagination- I love my neo 2 but have this trouble with them. I will have to check out Lyra because I am ALWAYS looking for a glazing medium and seems like Lyra would do well and pencil can go on top. I like that it is less saturated than neo 2 because it is really hard to tone that down after the fact in a book. I do go though cans of fixative but would like to find ways around it as it curls the edges
I always watch these comparison videos hoping that someone will talk me out of wanting the Neocolor II, but of course they're always the best ones. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet
I hate to say it but those darn Neos do their thing
@@ColorfullyOptimistic it's okay, I've spent enough money on cheaper "alternatives" to know that I'm better off buying the real thing in the first place
I have the art creations watersoluble oil pastels. I think they're more similar to the mungyos. I live in the Netherlands, art creations is widely available. The lady in my local art shop recommended them as a budget version of the neocolours. I do really want to try the neocolours too, to get the more crayon feel.
Ooooh haven’t heard of those ones. I’m surprised how many kinds there are when you go looking
Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤🎉
You are very welcome!
I don’t “really” care how they work… I just watch ALL the videos about them and then stroke and coo over my own set of pretty babies 😂😂😂
Life of a̶n̶ ̶ a̶r̶t̶i̶s̶t̶ **art supply** h̶o̶a̶r̶d̶e̶r̶ **collector** 😂
hahaha, this comment made me legit LOL
OMG. I’m not the only one.😂
Great comparison! I have all three of these and I personally love the neo’s the best. But just like you said, everyone is different and needs different tools for different jobs. I think they’re all good in their own ways. ☺️
Yes, exactly. So far, Neo2 still stand out among the rest, but hey, never know.
Thanks Kori for doing this video it's very helpful. I have the mangyo Gallery watercolor crayons, would love to try the neo color ii, but here in New Zealand they super expensive. Even open stock they $4.80 each New Zealand dollars at one art shop, the 30 set at same art shop is $127.99 Don't think Amazon US or Australia ship them to New Zealand, plus there's the exchange rate. So will stick to the ones I have for now since I'm on a benefit am not working.
Have you checked Jackson’s yet by chance?
Just ordered the distress crayons, I tried a set of 6 and really enjoyed them. I love the colors in the distress line. I do have the neo 2 and mungo which I like too. Also have the Gelatos and King Art gel sticks. I think I have a problem🤣😬
LOL Yes, I plan to do one with Distress Crayons, King Art, Gelatos soon...phew
Love the Neocolor 2
I appreciate your comparison between these three color products 😃
No problem at all! I'm glad it was helpful :)
Interesting. I didn't know that there were water soluble oil pastels. I have a few Caren D'ash ones. So this is great news!!! There are sets I can actually afford! Thanks HUGS
Yes they are! It's quite fun to use that's for sure.
Thank you for this video!🙌🏻🌟
You're so welcome! I hope you found it helpful!
$54.00 wtf! They used to be less than $20.00. I bought three sets: the pearlescent, the water soluble and the regular oil pastels and got all three for less than $50.00. They really jumped up in price.
The pearlescent are my favorite. I can't tell you how much joy they have brought me and the granddaughters in creating whimsical magical fairy princess lands.
They are okay, but I will probably always reach for my Neos ha
My Gallery is great with smooth paper. I use them in the Mythographic books
On smooth paper they definitely should. It sucks when a product can't dissolve on smooth paper because then you're like what is left? But that is great to know!
Hi kori hope your well sweetie .. loved this upload I found it very informative I’ve been looking to purchase some of these but wondered which to buy tysmfs 🥰
You are so welcome
Very thorough. I don't use these but I see valuable information. You are sounding healthy!
Oh that's good! I'm coughing like crazy, lol but at least I can pause while doing that.
Okay this is freaky!! I just finished a picture with neos and then one with my lyras and was thinking this morning about maybe trying the mungyo!! I have no idea what they're like though, so I'm going to really enjoy this video...hope the dogs are recovering well too ❤
Ha how funny!
Only way this could be better is if you'd done the Sergent art watercolor crayons too.. ive been trying to decide which of the 4 to try first
If you got to the end, I mentioned I was going more and that brand was one of them :)
@@ColorfullyOptimistic yeah I commented before I finished 😆 can't wait
I thought me, T and Lindsay the frugal crafter were the only 3 sets Lyra had sold their water soluble crayons 🤣. I haven’t had a chance to use them, but I’ve swatched them and I like them. Of course I want the Caran d Ache but light fastness is not a concern for me. Great video, these comparisons are so useful 😍. You’ve sparked my curiosity for the Mungyo oil pastels, but my experience with oil pastels has not been good, but maybe the solubility makes them more useable
Haha, yeah I know they aren’t super popular but I like ‘em!
I don't like the oil pastels, but find the crayons like the caron dArch
Crayola has water soluble oil pastels that are pretty good called Portfolio but only have 24 colors.
I just posted a review yesterday on their watercolor crayons (not pastels)
I have both full sets, nice.
Very cool
Hi kori , I love these sort of videos thank you for sharing .. I have the neo colour 2 I just totally love them.. I hope your doing ok and I hope your fur babies are doing ok too. Xx ❤
Awe thank you my dear.
Hello Kori, this is a very informative vid. In response to one of the commenters, I too, have the Faber-Castell Gelatos and would love to see a comparison. I also have oil pastels that are water soluble called Portfolio, made by Crayola. I have a quick question for you. I went to Hobby Lobby the other day and saw some open stock Faber-Castell coloring pencils for $1.49 each their called Goldfaber. Have you ever heard of them? And if you did are they anything like the Polys? I bought six, one was an aquarelle, which I picked up by mistake. I swatched them on regular paper. They felt smooth. Looking forward to your next comparison. 👍👍💞🙏🏽
Yes, I thought I had...or maybe I didn't and just thought about it lol...in the video mentioned I'd be comparing gel crayons later. Yes, I have tried the Goldfaber watercolor pencils and regular pencils, but no they are def not like Polys -- to me at least.
I've not been able to find the neocolor open stock where i live,, which sucks so much because I LOVE the mungyo, but the color selection is so small. I've held off on getting the lyra instead, because I've always heard that they are too hard.
Where do you live? Some places will ship to other countries. Cult Pens, Jackson's and Blick both ship internationally for open stock
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I see! I'll keep that in mind; but currently I can't paying the shipping fees would negate any affordability given by buying those things open stock 😅
Great information! Thanks for sharing! 💜
Thanks for watching!💜
great comparison thanks
Thanks for watching!💜
Thanks very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Yes, PLEASE compare steadler water soluble crayons to neocolor ii. Please please please please
Already did a battle video :)
You are correct Neocolor I is water resistant!
Yes, they are good for adding lines and then painting over them to create a fun effect.
You can still get the 120 set on their site.
Can you share the link? I don't see the 120 Neocolor 2s on their website and as far as I know, they discontinued the colors.
How would Lyra perform on acrylics on canvas?
I would not recommend them over acrylic paint on actual canvas.
Interesting Kori I’m a neo 2 fan but I heard you say something about a toothy card stock ? I use a slightly toothy paper that works best for me . I didn’t know there was a toothy card stock !!!! Can you please get me the information on that ? I would like to try that 😂
Yeah it is just Strathmore. I just refer to it as cardstock out of habit lol
@@ColorfullyOptimistic oh ok 😂I just thought maybe there was something new I didn’t know about out there 😂😂😂 thanks anyway 😂
So helpful!!!
Thank you!
Very nice colours
Thank you
Where can I buy the neo color 2 as open stock
My favorites are Blick Arts and Jackson’s Art Supply (UK)
Mungyo have watercolor crayons that are wax in set of 36
Yes, I know. I was specifically asked to compare these ones, which is why I did.
they are under the Galley label
@Jean Thompson yes...I know about them. Like I mentioned I was asked to compare these ones specifically but also mentioned at the end of the video I had more to do...
I think yougot the mungyu and lyra mixed up
In one spot but I talk about it
