    Scott I don’t know if you’ll see this. I was clinically depressed a couple months ago, and was around the verge of passing. I started drawing and scribbling, as art is one of my coping mechanisms. I was looking through shorts at 4 am, having a sleepless night. I found your video, and the best one too. About how artists can’t reach perfection. I started improving in art, and was able to heal a little bit. I’m still struggling but I just wanted to say.
    Thank you. For saving my life. Really.

      Well , It's better to use products like this if you are a professional as most of the times professional coloured pencils are very costly and expensive but if you are a broke student(like me) just use the cap of a ball point pen though it does not have sharpeners it is a good choice for those who don't have enough money....please remember it's only my advice and I have used this myself and it works for me but if it doesn't for you don't do it ☺️ actually it really is life changing I'll try to afford them once I am older and better
