this may be an odd one, but something I found really underrated are the really cheap color pencils that you can get from, like, the dollar store. they can't give you quality anyting, but sometimes when you're sketching all you need is something that can make a mark. If you want something that's actually quality, I use Soho colored pencils for my sketching now.
i would recommend the faber castel colour grip colouring pencils (they are made for children but are excellent as watercolour pencils as they are water soluble)
For anyone looking for a dotted notebook skip the Leuchtturm1917 and get a Scribbles That Matter dotted notebook or the Walmart brand one (Walmart updated theirsa year or so ago). They both have much better paper and are cheaper. If you look at the recent head to head pen tests here on UA-cam you can see for yourself. Hardly anything even ghosts let alone bleeds through either one. Also, I love the Sharpie Pen, it orderless and is a .3mm size marker. It works great for filling in areas or adding thicker lines and it doesn't bleed through cheaper drawing paper, unlike normal sharpie markers. This way I save my more expensive Micron ink for just the detail work making them last longer and stretching my art budget a bit more.
I feel like that one pen you found on the ground with no markings is always the best pen in the universe. I've found pens I'm satisfied with like the zebra push clip, but damn I miss that one pen that was technically half gone but I swear it lasted a year despite that.
Fr- now I'm glad that I'm not old enough to have a debit card or else I would be broke af as if I don't spend all my money on instant noodles and at stationary shops😭✌️
I know Jet Pens has said they don’t currently have plans to start a subscription box but I hope someday you all make it happen. It would be perfect and I would be one of the first to sign up.
No worries! “Copic proof” is just shorthand for describing ink that won’t smear with alcohol-based markers. I will hear certain papers described the same way because Copic-type markers are notorious for bleeding through.
@@SarahDavisSings yeah I know. It's just this is the first time I heard someone used th term "copic proof" instead of alcohol proof or even just smear proof lol. I usually dont use copic because they are SO expensive. I buy the Winsor and Newton pro markers since it is astronomically cheaper here.
Real talk, I mainly opened the video because I saw the Thin Lines that I just bought. Love them so far! I may well end up trying all of these at some point.
I've been using that eraser for 10+ years. Mom bought an entire box back when I was still in high school. At the rate I'm using them, I'm set for life 😅
Since we started using pens in my school my erasers last very long. When I am at home and writing in a journal or drawing or maybe making lsots of things I would buy if I had money (a lot of jetpens stuff) I use a pencil but in school we are only allowed to use fountain pens or fineliners and the school notebooks which were decent before but now the paper quality is so bad that I literally can't use any fountain pen on it as it bleeds. And they don't let you use any other pens then fineliners or fountain pens and any other notebooks so I write with the fineliner everyone in our school uses and that bleeds a bit too. I will kill the school management one day.
I carried a pack of Marvy LePen fineliers with me years ago in high school, and they were amazing! I loved making ink drawings at the time with them, and even the smallest tip size never skipped.
One of the most underrated stationaries is the Uni Toga mechanical pencil. The lead rotates as you write and just keeps the tip very fine which works well for line art! I recommend all my art friends it! 🌼
Derwent's Graphik Line Painters!! So incredibly versatile, and the permanent water-based colours are *so* opaque and vibrant. Very unique palette too!!
I switched from Tombow to "Aquamarker" that come in a set of 12 pens with a fine and a brush tip. I got them from a store here in Europe called "Action" wich is a cheap store for mainly homedecor, starionary,underwear,... basicaly a store looking like if you trew different items in an empty supermarket xD and I really love how the marker work. You can collect 72 Marker in the sets that come with a stand so you pay only 24€ on all marker. They also have sets of just greens or just greys in clear plastic boxes to store them so if you heavly shade or need a ton of greens for whatever reason you can have 86 colors in total for only 32€ wich is very cheap tho. The markers are also very good for coloring books and nothing bleeds trought the paper. The only minus is that since they are waterbased, they are not that perfect to blend in with another color
Brush pens are the best. The possibility of drawing hair thin lines and switching to big, bold marks just by pressing a bit harder opens lots of possibilities, it's so dynamic. It requires some getting used to, though, but it's so fun.
I regularly use these "Ticher" pencil-shaped erasers. They're really smooth and great for erasing details, due to the fact that you can use a regular pencil sharpener to make them slim. They're very good and cheap too. I love them
At the moment, I don't need any new art supplies, but when I do need some more, I'll see if I can get some of these items (especially the watercolors! >.
I feel like cheap bic ballpoint pens are still underrated for sketching. I love how the result looks and by using non erasable pens, you can condition yourself to accept mistakes. Coloured ballpoint pens are also a lot of fun. You can shade with them with a bit of practice and the results are really cool! Don't have a brand there though since idk what brand mine are from. Other than that, the faber castel classics coloured pencils. Sure, they aren't as smooth or vibrant as their high end version, but they also cost a fraction(here I can get a 12 pack for about 3€) and still are really good. Basically affordable, but good quality stuff. You don't need a lot of money to do cool art 😉
Absolutely agree. I prefer rollerball pens (ballpoint pens - oil based, rollerball pens - water based). I always use cheap, black rollerball pens for my illustrations, works really well.
I had a huge problem with finding good erasers...I even bought few but those weren't soft and easy to erase...than suddenly I found this eraser in the stationary shop and it's does everything perfectly 😍today I got to know that the eraser I'm using now is "Hwarang Design Art Soft Eraser"...
I went to Walmart today and saw they had Marvy Le Pen pens in 3 different sets (pastel, dark, regular) and I was flabbergasted @_@ Now I feel bad for not getting them XD
marvy also makes some sick water-based firm tip brush markers, theyre called colorin, theres 4 packs of 10 colors that have quite a bit of range. they're good for more flatly colored illustrations and lettering
I use superior watercolors, they are so good, the design itself is outstanding, I have the 30 color palette, it's supplied as a travel kit too, it has two water brushes (round and flat), sponges, mixing palette and a holding ring in the backside, and the fun part is not that you can only take each panel by itself, but you also can take a small palette that contains six colors and costumes it as you like.
jetpens: 10 underrated art supplies that deserve attention.. meh: looks like those supplies already got my attention :P :) yes I want tonsss of jetpens stationary soooo bad but there's no shipping availability where I live, and my also my wallet always shuts me up.. TnT :"""( and also jetpens can you do a smooth writing ball pen and ball pens to use when you have a death grip video please!!!!
Oh, this is a great voice by the voiceower artist. Please use her more. I realy like the: Marvy Le Pen Technical Drawing Pens (why more than Sakura and the Staedtler gray-finliners)
The pentel dual metallic gel pens are gorgeous, with vibrant pink and the smoothest gel pen I've ever used. I love them so much and I don't know anyone else who uses them
I was so happy when I saw the body of the Staedtler non-photo blue pencil, with the word _Austria_ on it. Where my fellow Austrians at? ❤️ 🇦🇹 ❤️ 🇦🇹 ❤️ 🇦🇹 ❤️ 🇦🇹 ❤️
One thing is the set of fineliners I use, which is from Touch Lecai, but it depends on the paper used if it dries fast enough, but its much cheaper than the copics I use and equally black. Another thing is my eraser (Dust Free [18 71 21] from Faber-Castell), its not that cheap but its also not that expensive and the best thing: it isn't fuzzy or smudges and it comes in black (mine) and white
My underused art supply is a Maruman sketchbook... not the one in the video, it is one that has metal hinges to hold the paper to the book if you know what i mean. Thankyou for reading!
‘I have a question’ why don’t you put how much the art supplies cost like in dollars or pounds or other because most of the watchers are probably around the world and some might want to know much much it cost (I didn’t spell it wrong)
I really love the Le Pen Technical drawing pens, but they don't se to be waterproof half the time. Maybe it depends on the paper I use with them? I do like them a lot anyway, especially with how affordable they are.
When you use a program like Photoshop to remove the lines, depending on the way you do it, the blue channel is the easiest and lightest color to remove from a scan, versus like a red or green that may be a darker value than the very light blue. It’s just super light and very easy to tone out, and if there is any color left, it would blend into the white of the paper easier probably. Just my guesses from what I’ve done with it :)
Why would you say the ink is "Copic proof" instead of alcohol proof? Anyone who uses Copics knows they are alcohol based but anyone who doesn't might not know. Other than that, good stuff!
@@gemstone108 that is more common sense.. water is water but not everyone would know Copic markers are alcohol based. That was my point. The ink also would not streak if you went across it with a Sharpie.
There's these pens i found at walmart that have so many colorful colors, "pilot precise V5's" are what i use and i cant reccomend the cyan and pink ones enough, i use them for everything really, (altho sadly, theyre not water resistant 😔)
Ultrafine sandpaper. Colored pencil style highlighters. Fisker's flatbed paper trimmer. Toothbrush style makeup brushes -- super fine but dense, and are easy to clean. Basic #2 pencils.
Do you have any underrated art supplies you'd like to share with us?
For me, some really underrated art supplies are pens in general :'D some I use really give a lot of texture to drawing if u know how to use them
this may be an odd one, but something I found really underrated are the really cheap color pencils that you can get from, like, the dollar store. they can't give you quality anyting, but sometimes when you're sketching all you need is something that can make a mark.

Don't know but I know for sure that crayola is underestimated
Yes! I love the Supertips!
My Father was a watercolor artist and he swore by Crayola colored pencils; they’re soft and not too expensive.
i always used crayola colored pencils, so smooth and easy to blend, and cheap ♥️

Hello JetPens.
Thanks for another great video! I was wondering why photo blue pencils are used for scans instead of green or other colours?
When you use a program like Photoshop to remove the lines, depending on the way you do it, the blue channel is the easiest and lightest color to remove from a scan, versus like a red or green that may be a darker value than the very light blue. It’s just super light and very easy to tone out, and if there is any color left, it would blend into the white of the paper easier probably. Just my guesses from what I’ve done with it :)
