To give Adam some credit, Crayola oil pastels are well known for just being as brittle as can be, even for me who's a really dainty, gentle color-er. They snap with even a fraction of force put on them I genuinely don't know why Crayola hasn't changed their formula so they're actually usable by now
Agree with Adam on the Book Rage. It’s promoted as a Book, not Activity Pages that I recall off. And even Activity Pages can be in a BOOK. And if it was a book, they wouldn’t have needed that random (wasted unless you make art with it) cardboard. A very ‘Adult Coloring’ indeed. Though the idea of the activities being useful tor those who wish to self-teach themselves the techniques is very useful. Helps with the idea that everyone can do art, or those who believe they have to learn to be able to do art. (This ended being a longer comment than need be but, adora your content, guys!)
I do believe Prismacolor has a series of Kits where they teach you about blending and fundamentals. Maybe you could see the difference between them? Prismacolor’s version does have a link to see videos, I think!
Never apologize for long comments... Share everything that you can and feel comfortable sharing. That's the whole point of this grand experiment we call "the internet". The world doesn't need more "I'm dead 💀", it needs more people like you who speak from the heart... comments like yours encourage discussion and improve the whole platform. Please write more long comments!
I'm really curious now how Steph taught Adam to draw because my boyfriend is asking for drawing advice and apparently just 'use reference' isn't too helpful. Kudos to Steph for being a good teacher!!
I think there is a great chasm between the ability to *do* and the ability to teach. I am naturally sure-footed, and I have no idea how to teach someone dexterity because I was never really taught myself... I learned to do that like Milo of Croton carrying his pet bull... I learn everything that way so I don't know how to teach someone to not fall over or how to make a song sound sad. I learned my skills by failing at easy tasks until I was practiced enough to succeed at more difficult tasks... but you can't teach that method. It sounds to me like you also learn like Milo... That you failed to draw a reference repeatedly until you succeeded at drawing the reference... because like me, you're an artist but not a teacher.
I know it’s two years old but this is the first time I’ve seen this video, and seriously…Adam destruction testing everything was exactly what I (a sad, art-nerdy klutz) needed to see today. I know a kindred spirit when I see one, even if the main identifying sign is a long trail of broken art materials. 😂 Thank you for the priceless giggles, Art Friends. 😊
"do crayola make anything decent" i need this on a sticker oh my gosh also can I just say how happy this video made me; it was peak comedy and you both always bring me so much joy.
Thank you for making these videos, I teach children and we find the combination of humor and art chats to be helpful for learning to make the most out of mediums.
Crayola's a better company than most people realize XD still waiting for you guys to get that 150 Crayon tower (it's cheaper than it sounds) also thank you guys for making my day! my life has really gone down hill since my mother died (she loved you guys too) and you guys are the only couple on UA-cam who can make me smile and inspire me in my art! Especially you, Steph! ^u^ you're just like me
Maybe they made it in pages so you can print them out and practice more times as well? And i mean, its crayola... You just know they'll cut costs everywere they can lol love your videos, always such an amazing vibe and you two are adorable!
Oh I have those metallic crayons and they are quite fun, I really recommend the Pearl ones if you haven’t tried them because they are really creamy and nice texture.
I'm glad I'm not the only one breaking crayola crayons and pencils XD hahah and I agree on the book rage XD Steph is a good teacher, this is facts...also I love the worksheets, I want copies =D
Was so excited to watch after my open to close shift at work today! Had a pretty awful day having to work on Easter, but you two always manage to calm me down and put me in a good mood with ur art and commentary ! 💞
I laughed sooo hard tears were coming out!! Lol! Oh and the music swatches (swatches? Hmm) you add into these videos crack me up!!! Thank you for another fabulous video and for making me giggle, you two awesome peeps! 🥰🥰
I definitely saw the brush pens signature set from Crayola a few years ago. It was about 40€, so way too expensive. You two make me laugh out loud, and I love your relationship. I am really happy I have discovered your channel!
Thinking of buying this for my fiance now! I can't teach him the basics in person 'cause we're long distance, and this seems perfect for him. A mix of relaxing and practice! Edit: Poor Adam, super strong and doesn't know his own strength, accidentally breaking stuff!
Adam: [shades a rectangle with an oil pastel] Steph: “now we haven’t had much experience with these” Adam: [acknowledges that it’s an indirect to him] Killed me lol. Love that I can come to this channel to feel better
This was such a spicy video, I loved it! Adam and Steph should do a series - or like, tiny segments - where you teach us art fundamentals. It would be fun to visit the basics again (plus... actually visit the ones I skipped) and I would embrace any chaos that came with it!
Steph and Adam you two are awesome! Love watching your videos! Thanks for reviewing many different things! It sure helps me decide on what kinda art supplies to try next! I'm kinda a style jumper. Still not sure what my favorite is yet! I do know mixed media is a definite for me! What's your favorite art supplies? Do you prefer Acrylics, Oil Paint, Gauche, or Watercolors?
I do have to say your art story time made me laugh. I'm going into art education in the fall for college. I wonder if my future students will ever say that to me hahahah
I’ve watched some of your videos today and I really love your creativity and the dynamic between you two. Thank you for the entertainment and the educational content. 🥹
I don`t think soft colored pencils snap fast? Like I never had one of my polychromos snap and they are pretty soft and good quality. When I think of snapping it`s mostly colored pencils with loads of filler in them.
With you everyday is a true lesson in the adult ways of adulting adults. Todays lesson was sponsored by number 1000 (as in: Adam broke the oil pastels into 1000 pieces.) and the word of the day was: SCRAN! I love you guys xD
Dude, I was a straight hater of these when I was younger I had a pack of the signature pencils and a classic normal pack of Crayola pencils and I swear the normal ones are better I don’t know if or why they changed it from the og but I swear they broke so often I think I probably had other grapes, but it’s been so long
I'm 100% sure that art teacher was so philosphically moved at that moment of Adam saying "you know...I don't think you can teach art" thought "oh wow. He's right." And that was the reason he decided to retire. 100% convinced
Never thought of using oil pastels for stippling! Maybe I should give it a go. I like oil pastels, but never use them for some reason (the reason: they're MESSY)
Wooooah when can you start? Bill, I've been here for a a year and a half. I have no idea what you're on about but I just wanted to hand in my vacation time off requests...
I have to say, your video editing and sound effects are always ON POINT; the “activity pages” drama stings made me laugh so hard! I’m dealing with nasty allergies AND a cold right now, so I appreciated the laugh! EDIT: BTW, since Adam tends to be heavy handed (RELATABLE!), he may prefer using Crayola’s Color Sticks, which are basically fat colored pencils with no wood. Crayola also has something called Slick Stix, which are like slick gel crayons…things. They’re in plastic tubes like lipstick (read: unbreakable) and they’re fun to mess around with! FWIW I’ve never used their color sticks, but I have a small set of Slick Stix and I LOVE them. (They’re also water-soluble, BTW. But truth be told I usually just lick my finger and smudge with that rather than using water and a brush. 😅) I also found out that Crayola sold the “Inspiration Pad” from your set by itself, but it appears to be long out of print now. Anybody out there who wants to try similar drawing exercises would be better off searching for then on Pinterest or something and then printing them out.
this coloring kit is 18+!! NO MINORS!
YOU BETTER BE PAYING TAXES TO USE THIS
🤣😂🤣
Just to spite the age rating, I am probably gonna buy this for my 13y/o nephew lmao
I worked in an art supply store during the height of the reign of adult coloring book terror. This is giving me flashbacks.
LOOL they really were EVERYWHERE
To give Adam some credit, Crayola oil pastels are well known for just being as brittle as can be, even for me who's a really dainty, gentle color-er. They snap with even a fraction of force put on them I genuinely don't know why Crayola hasn't changed their formula so they're actually usable by now
I’m enjoying this professional review
We love to hear it! ♥️
Agree with Adam on the Book Rage. It’s promoted as a Book, not Activity Pages that I recall off. And even Activity Pages can be in a BOOK. And if it was a book, they wouldn’t have needed that random (wasted unless you make art with it) cardboard.

The fundimental pages teaching techniques are genuinely really useful! Though if it has numbered pages... WHY NO BOOK?
I do believe Prismacolor has a series of Kits where they teach you about blending and fundamentals. Maybe you could see the difference between them? Prismacolor’s version does have a link to see videos, I think!

I'm really curious now how Steph taught Adam to draw because my boyfriend is asking for drawing advice and apparently just 'use reference' isn't too helpful. Kudos to Steph for being a good teacher!!
I don't think Steph sat down and taught Adam to draw. He just started practicing along with her for fun.
I think there is a great chasm between the ability to *do* and the ability to teach. I am naturally sure-footed, and I have no idea how to teach someone dexterity because I was never really taught myself... I learned to do that like Milo of Croton carrying his pet bull...

i remember the day when Steph called the fruit still life as "Aesthetic fruit bowl"
I know it’s two years old but this is the first time I’ve seen this video, and seriously…Adam destruction testing everything was exactly what I (a sad, art-nerdy klutz) needed to see today. I know a kindred spirit when I see one, even if the main identifying sign is a long trail of broken art materials. 😂 Thank you for the priceless giggles, Art Friends. 😊
Couldn't stop laughing when Adam broke the crayon 😅
You two made my day so much better, thanks for another excellent video! 😀
"do crayola make anything decent" i need this on a sticker oh my gosh
also can I just say how happy this video made me; it was peak comedy and you both always bring me so much joy.
*Gordon Ramsay voice* Finally, some good f*cking scran.
Scran o Clock!!!
Adam is over leveled for these art supplies. That’s why they keep breaking.
I find it very funny that Adam insisted on doing the little hw sheets and only complained once he started them
I don't understand why they couldn't have made it into a booklet using staples or something because those pages will eventually get lost
I'm 100% with Adam on this one! Make a fricking book, people!
Thank you for making these videos, I teach children and we find the combination of humor and art chats to be helpful for learning to make the most out of mediums.
Omg thank YOU for choosing to watch us! This really made our day!
Aw man I’m picturing a classroom of kiddos learning from doodledate, and my heart is singing
I agree with Adam, Steph does have a very good reading voice!!
I have to admit that at also giggled at Adam's oil pastel skills
Ooh, an Adam rage. I’m not sure the internet is ready for that. 😜
I'm seeing RED
or is it brown
@@DoodleDate 🤣🤣🤣
I remember adult colouring books… I completed a whole colouring book and I’m proud of that achievement 🤣
Book rage is a mood
Also sometimes having literature lamentment
@@DoodleDate I've had a book where the pages were laminate and I thought it'd be like regular paper pages
you guys could do a doodles and tea vid coloring some of the coloring pages
That sounds cuuuute!
@@DoodleDate :)
Crayola's a better company than most people realize XD still waiting for you guys to get that 150 Crayon tower (it's cheaper than it sounds)
also thank you guys for making my day! my life has really gone down hill since my mother died (she loved you guys too) and you guys are the only couple on UA-cam who can make me smile and inspire me in my art! Especially you, Steph! ^u^ you're just like me
I'm so sorry for your loss. Peace be with you 💙
I'm loving every moment of this video 😂😂😂 also I would love a series of colorblind coloring books from Adam
i knew what scran meant due to hubby being in the navy, still used to talk about food
Maybe they made it in pages so you can print them out and practice more times as well? And i mean, its crayola... You just know they'll cut costs everywere they can lol love your videos, always such an amazing vibe and you two are adorable!
Yayyyyyy I’m late because I’ve been at urgent care this afternoon! This is giving me so much joy. Thanks for being you!
Take it easy and we hope youre feeling better!!
@@DoodleDate thank you! I’ve got some medicine so I should be feeling better soon. Really enjoyed this video as it gives much joy!
I'm so happy to have my regular doodle date videos back. You two are killing it with the consistent fire videos ever since you came back. Love you!!
New doodle date drinking game: drink everytime they say coloring
omg rip LOL
Adam's technique is colourblind out of 9.
Oh I have those metallic crayons and they are quite fun, I really recommend the Pearl ones if you haven’t tried them because they are really creamy and nice texture.
I got those for my kids at the dollar store. They are great!
7:14 "Oooo! She's not just a pretty face.." - Adam 🤣😂🤣😂 this cracked me up!!;
I would’ve loved Steph as my art teacher back then she’s such a good teacher 💕💕
The breaking crayons had me rolling 😂 lol
You guys made me laugh with the "book rage" and the "blorp" of the pastel breaking--thanks!
I'm glad I'm not the only one breaking crayola crayons and pencils XD hahah and I agree on the book rage XD Steph is a good teacher, this is facts...also I love the worksheets, I want copies =D
I’m not surprised about anything crayola make they make all sorts
They're chaotic and will make just about anything, ngl I respect that LOL
Whenever I am having a bad day, I always come back to this video! The little stump breaking gets me every time💀
You guys made this so fun to watch, it was hilarious.💕
I used to love watching you guys so much and it makes me so happy to see you guys are still together and still creating content ❤️
It took me an embarrassing length of time to understand the glasses.
Deconstructed book binding! 😂
I can't tell which glasses are better, the Enchroma ones or the ones Adams wearing in (the start of) this video.
Activity sheets *B W A A A A A*
So many you gotta say it THRICE
Was so excited to watch after my open to close shift at work today! Had a pretty awful day having to work on Easter, but you two always manage to calm me down and put me in a good mood with ur art and commentary ! 💞
I laughed sooo hard tears were coming out!! Lol! Oh and the music swatches (swatches? Hmm) you add into these videos crack me up!!! Thank you for another fabulous video and for making me giggle, you two awesome peeps! 🥰🥰
This was so fun! And it’s nice to see that the random paint brush that crayola ALWAYS puts in their kits ACTUALLY has a purpose IN this kit! 🤣
I definitely saw the brush pens signature set from Crayola a few years ago. It was about 40€, so way too expensive. You two make me laugh out loud, and I love your relationship. I am really happy I have discovered your channel!
😂😂😂😂 thanks for the laugh I was on the floor with the black pastel 🤣🤣🤣
Thinking of buying this for my fiance now! I can't teach him the basics in person 'cause we're long distance, and this seems perfect for him. A mix of relaxing and practice!
Edit: Poor Adam, super strong and doesn't know his own strength, accidentally breaking stuff!
Totally here for the sassy chaos
Adamo we have the same hecka Kool shades that u have lmaoo
LOOKING STYLISH
The frustration was so palpable 😭😂 the *womp* noise whenever a pastel broke killed me
I'm from the north east and scran is a daily word in our vocabulary 🤣
I had so much fun watching this video. Bless you guys! XD
Adam: [shades a rectangle with an oil pastel]
Steph: “now we haven’t had much experience with these”
Adam: [acknowledges that it’s an indirect to him]
Killed me lol. Love that I can come to this channel to feel better
I'm not even British but I am indeed an appreciator of the word 'scran' 😂
This was such a spicy video, I loved it!
Adam and Steph should do a series - or like, tiny segments - where you teach us art fundamentals. It would be fun to visit the basics again (plus... actually visit the ones I skipped) and I would embrace any chaos that came with it!
Adam confession: the time he invalidated his art teacher into quitting lol
OH NO-
The sound effect with the oil marker breaking has me losing my mind XD
I’d love to watch Adam colouring become a series!
You guys make me smile! Thank you!
Awww I haven't visited your channel in ages and tbh i missed it! :) Good to see y'all again 😊 ❤️
thats some good interview tip you provided there, thank you Adam:3
Thank you, I needed this today xD
Oh my god the red alert sound effects for Adams well deserved book rage! I love it.
I’m so excited for this video. I’m the only one in my flat atm and it’s making my anxiety high. A lovely distraction 🥰
Aw! We hope it brightens your day a little!!
@@DoodleDate Thank you so much!!! Your uploads always do!
Steph and Adam you two are awesome! Love watching your videos! Thanks for reviewing many different things! It sure helps me decide on what kinda art supplies to try next! I'm kinda a style jumper. Still not sure what my favorite is yet! I do know mixed media is a definite for me! What's your favorite art supplies? Do you prefer Acrylics, Oil Paint, Gauche, or Watercolors?
Happy Easter!!! Love from Dublin ❤️
Happy Easter!! 🥚🥚🐣
Adam tends to have silly lines that I must share with my husband. In this video it's this exchange: 23:57 especially the last bit. LMAO
I do have to say your art story time made me laugh. I'm going into art education in the fall for college. I wonder if my future students will ever say that to me hahahah
If you can get your hands on more of these sets I would love to see them. I totally missed these when they came out!
I actually laughed out loud when you broke the black pastel twice 😂😂😂
The song scarletfire has scarred me because of dank pods. Great video as always guys!
Gotta love a good nugget!!
@@DoodleDate omfg that's the best response I've ever gotten 😭
Me and my sister use the word scran all the time 🤣 we’re from the midlands but I don’t hear anyone else say it
Ngl, I'd absolutely dig a colouring series with adam. I want more AdamxColour content!!
epic video as usual, i lov the editing lately!💥
I’ve watched some of your videos today and I really love your creativity and the dynamic between you two. Thank you for the entertainment and the educational content. 🥹
Thank you so much!
I don`t think soft colored pencils snap fast? Like I never had one of my polychromos snap and they are pretty soft and good quality. When I think of snapping it`s mostly colored pencils with loads of filler in them.
Some of them do I think? Polychromos never do for me but I’ve had prismacolors snap before and those have great pigment but are fragile as hell
I have been wanting those oil pastels but they are hard to come by.
It's a shame they set isn't made anymore because the pigments are really beautiful!!
I love y'all, so wholesome 😌
Hahaha I only learned about what SCRAN is in the most recent Livestream!!! loved this vid 🎉❤
I only enjoy green apples if Greek yogurt is involved. They’re too sour on their own. Peanut butter is also really good with green apples
I love your guys content and this is just in time for my birthday :)
I now understand Adam’s earlier tweet about this video
It finally comes FULL CIRCLE
Woah this popped outa no where time to watch lol
With you everyday is a true lesson in the adult ways of adulting adults. Todays lesson was sponsored by number 1000 (as in: Adam broke the oil pastels into 1000 pieces.) and the word of the day was: SCRAN!
I love you guys xD
WHOA CRAYOLA WENT SO FANCY ON THIS KIT
...*me typing this*: *Adam breaks crayon immediately*
Dude, I was a straight hater of these when I was younger I had a pack of the signature pencils and a classic normal pack of Crayola pencils and I swear the normal ones are better I don’t know if or why they changed it from the og but I swear they broke so often
I think I probably had other grapes, but it’s been so long
Scran sounds yummy, lol. God bless you both. Have a great week!
I'm 100% sure that art teacher was so philosphically moved at that moment of Adam saying "you know...I don't think you can teach art" thought "oh wow. He's right." And that was the reason he decided to retire. 100% convinced
Never thought of using oil pastels for stippling! Maybe I should give it a go. I like oil pastels, but never use them for some reason (the reason: they're MESSY)
Wooooah when can you start?
Bill, I've been here for a a year and a half. I have no idea what you're on about but I just wanted to hand in my vacation time off requests...
You gotta do more actively papers...this way way to much fun lol 😂😂😂
I have to say, your video editing and sound effects are always ON POINT; the “activity pages” drama stings made me laugh so hard! I’m dealing with nasty allergies AND a cold right now, so I appreciated the laugh!

That was hilarious! Made my morning ☺️
i know scran means food -a fan from newcastle upon tyne!!
the only thing that isn't *questionable quality* are these high quality professional reviews!
I feel educated, thank you for blessing my day 🥰
❤❤love your context. Keep up the good work.
