Friendly FYI...If you have a colored pencil that continually breaks get an electric heating pad and fold it over with the pencils inside let the pencils cool down completely then they should sharpen beautifully...the wax/oil heats up and resets inside the pencils and binds the core..like anything air pockets can get in the wood pencil causing the inner core to crack
I sometimes thinks how much color pencils does Sarah have(maybe a room full of them😆) She does pencil colors review almost twice / thrice a month That's actually so usefull for many of us Great videos Btw⭐
Thank you Sarah for your super-detailed review! I'm suprised that Nyoni is sold out of China with Chinese version case. Nyoni is a brand which produces art supplies in China, being the choice of many art students for its good quality and affordable price. Here's the translation of the charaters on the case: 油性 = oily（not oil based） 彩铅 = 彩色铅笔 = colored pencil 48色 = 48 colors Please note that in China, colored pencils are classified basing on their water solubility and marked as two types: oily (油性, aka oil based OR wax based) colored pencils and water soluble (水溶) colored pencils. Hence the printing "油性" doesn't really tell you if it's based on oil or wax. Sometimes "油性" is translated into "oil based" or "oily", neither of which promising the pencils really base on oil. You may well have to trust the feeling of your hand. And for many strange "brand" names some of which even hardly make up a pronouncible syllable, they don't mean anything in Chinese either. They are probably just some randomly assembled name by non-English-speakers.
I don’t know if somebody has commented about this already, but I’ll give it a go! The Chinese characters on this box are quite the same as the ones used in Japanese, and about Japanese I can say something, so it would go like this: 油性 = Oil base 彩用 = pigment used So it would translate as it is, Oil base pigment used, so it’s an oil base pencil. Above Nyoni, 尼奥尼 the reading it’s the name of the brand itself “Nyoni”, about the meaning of this I’m not sure… The one below the brand, since I don’t speak Chinese and the characters are in cursive they are a little bit fuzzy to understand (this one you guys have to excuse me, I really can’t understand them lol) The character besides the numbers, 色, it means colors, it’s the counter for colors, so it would be 36 colors/48 colors! Loooved the comparison in this video sarah, I might get these ones for my collection, because you know… colored pencils are never enough! 😍😍😍
Yes in Chinese 油性 yóuxìng means oil based. Xìng here means the property or nature of sth. It is also the word used to mean gender. 彩铅 căiqīan means colored lead (meaning the pencil core).
Omg thanks for the early morning laugh!! 😂 😂😂 I love my Nyoni 120 set and I also like their feel in hand better than the Brutfuner squares. Now I wish I had the Markarts with the better matching barrels though! Thanks for another very thorough review!
I have both Markart and Nyoni 120 sets and agree they are virtually the same product. The Markart were quite a bit less expensive and I do enjoy using them. I haven't had the Nyoni as long so haven't used them so much, but so far like them equally. I like them much more than the square Brutfuners (I must be a minority of one who is indifferent about the Bruts). My only complaint about the Markart and Nyoni pencils is that they don't have color names, only numbers. I am by no means the most prolific colorist, but do it for a creative outlet and relaxation. So I have two sets of the same pencils...not a problem since one will be a backup for the other. If they were junk I would have returned them. Two thumbs up!
X-Acto® Mighty Mite Battery Pencil Sharpener, Assorted Colors At office max. Love it. It’s portable and sharpen the pencil to the point. When looking for a pencil sharpener make sure it’s has a steel blade rather than a plastic one. Also, this is a good tip to look out - Pencil Saver technology helps prevent oversharpening.
Any hand sharpener can get awesome results. For handheld ones, turn the sharpener, not yhe pencil. You're welcome Oh and after a few pencils, sharpen a graphite pencil to clean the blade. If it's electric let it cool off every so many pencils. If not your lead can get screwed up from the heat
I have the Nyoni and love them. I find them great in colouring books but not as good as my Polychromos on good paper, which is to be expected. When talking about lightfastness can you please let people know, if you haven't, that about half of the Prismacolors are not lightfast. it might help people not make mistakes with their work. So sorry I missed the livestream-family dramas- but hope you do another.
I loooove love love my Nyoni pencils for doing adult coloring. They're lovely harder lead pencils. But they're not super affordable. They're the same price as mid-tier Arteza. So I am VERY happy to find that I can buy the Markart pencils now that my Nyonis need a replacement. They're half the price. While I didn't mind the first time as I find them more mid-tier quality like Arteza and Castle Arts, but I do love that I can pay half price for the same products. This makes me so happy, thank you so so much.
So glad I found your channel. The live was awesome (had to do catch up since I’m in UK) & seeing end result was great as I now have an idea of your colouring process, where ideas come from with thinking process & that you do make things up just like we do. Using practice mini versions was a ‘doh of course’ moment etc.. It all helps us to get great results too so thank you.
I just bought the 120 set of Nyoni, and also the largest set of Artxx pencils. I wish I had seen this review first, as I prefer when the barrel color is closer to the core color, but I make swatches of all of my colored pencil sets.
I have the nyoni brand coloured pencil set of 24 . It works very well but I needed any youtube artist to review these pencils. Thank you for reviewing these pencils by the way you colouring artwork is amazing .Loved it😍😍😍😍😍😍
I SO agree with what you said about how they feel "dry", and it most definitely is a completely different coloring experience with my Markart set compared to all my others. Unfortunately it has stopped me from grabbing them more often, however one thing I have noticed is the Markart perform quite well in coloring books that don't have that great of quality paper and I have no idea why lol. I also LOVE some of the beautifully unique colors Markart has that I've never seen in other brands. For example NO57 is GORGEOUS and you should see how tiny my little nubbie of it is and I still attempt to use it 🤣 I also noticed that for someone reason, their white (at least in my set), works almost as well as my Prismacolor Premier white for blending colors which I find very cool!!
Oh, and I meant to add that another thing about these, is no matter how toothy or not toothy my cardstock is, I'm unable to lay down that many layers at all which stinks, but the unique color range makes up for that. I'm definitely going to try the alcohol marker blending trick you discovered (brilliant!!!) with these. Much love 💕
@@deborahjane68 Hi! Honestly, if their colored pencil formula is still the same, I'd go for a different brand/set. I used to only color with colored pencils, but haven't anymore for the past couple years, so I wish I could give you good recommendations but I'm so far out of the loop now 😔. However! I'll always be able to confidently recommend Prismacolor Premier if they're in your price range! If not, I recall a lot of people recommending the Arrtx Colored Pencils, and said that they were similar to Prismacolor Premier. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful! I may do a little research and come back to comment again to help 💞💞😊
New subscriber here! Thanks for doing videos on budget pencils. Here in Iraq even Prismacolor colored pencils are scarce and expensive but cheap brands are more available.
These color pencils are ok..let me check in our local online shop if it’s available but in the end of the day it not the materials you use either affordable or not but it is the time you spend and being happy of your activity as a colorist.. Enjoy every piece and keep on coloring “rock on” ♥️♥️♥️
So far for cheap colored pencils I feel faber castell classic are already good enough which cost me $10 🤣. I am doing a challenge for doing realistic colouring using cheap supply later on hahaha. I feel your testing and information is totally valid and informative for consumers👍👍
lmao, that was some interesting translations. I really enjoyed the stream I can't wait till you do another one. The background turned out so nice. Great job, I can't wait to see your pencil sharpener review as I really need to get me a good sharpener for especially for my prismacolors.
@@ellietodd393 Yeah, I have heard that one mentioned a few times during the stream the other day. I put it on my wish list for when I can afford it lol. It will probably be the one I go with. Right now I am using a hand held faber castell on and it works fine, but I need something that I can sharpen in bulk with lol.
if you are going to do another review/comparison soon, could you include the Amazon basics set and maybe the soucolor set? also, maybe a video explaining the difference between the arteza premiere and expert sets. thanks! I've learned a lot from your videos
Great video, glad you like them! The 120 set is lovely.If you look on the Nyoni set, they say this is their first large oil set and they aim to produce the best Chinese set. Not bad for a first effort. Personally I love using them. Being in NZ where art stuff is expensive I made a decision to have Chinese sets for my colouring book habit. I'd buy these again in a heartbeat. I have the beautiful Phoenix set in transit....
I'm making a wishlist of color pencils I would like to buy over the course of this year, into next year. I will start to collect color pencils. But they might not be a lot just based on brand. But one brand I'll be sure to buy will be the Markart.
Sarah, I took ypu idea from another video and used the colored markers as.an underpainting with cold pressed colored marker paper! Results crazy diffent
I don't own either of these 2 sets but I've heard good reviews of both especially the Nyoni. And they likely did come from the same factory. Gotta love that white labeling. LOL!
Have you tried the Prismacolor scholar pencils? They're harder led than the premier and I like using them alongside each other, scholar for the finer areas. I mean obviously, they're not as good as polychromos but, yeah :) I would like to know your thoughts :D
They are quite different. I’ve also got the Prismacolor veritithin, that are a higher quality pencil with the harder lead for the details. Sounds like a good video idea :)
@@SarahRenaeClark oh i hope u make a review on those! i just found in an old box from years ago i have 12 berol verithins, and i googled them , theyre from pre 1980s based on the unique names! (like theres one that is called lavender that is now called something else after 1980)
Thanks Sarah, great video as usual. I really liked how your colouring page turned out - even though I coloured along with you, mine is nowhere near completed yet. I was really unsure about what you said in the livestream about the background and told my husband I would not be doing that.. but having seen it - fantastic! Thanks for the tips etc and bring on the sharpener video. I wonder if you could maybe discuss the weirdness of the mid blue colours (mine are prismacolour and Derwent procolour. They seem to lay down a bit differently, more wax? Anyway I struggle with them and would love some tips.
I have such a hard time blending colors. I’ve always had this difficulty and I’m not sure why I’m having trouble. I think I will just really focus on it and making gradients and just make sure I’m getting enough practice. Another thing is that I lost my Prismacolor pencils in a move and just never got more. I have Faber Castel Polychromos but I have trouble blending those. Hmmph!! Well, I had planned on getting a good supply of Prismacolor finally in August to replace my others so maybe that will help. I’m so excited to get them! Then in September I am getting Sarah’s 2023 planner and the Color Cubes and a bunch of other stuff. I feel like a little kid and can’t wait to get all my goodies
Lol after several video from reliable you tubers how good they are I bought the 72 set and now I figure even tho they have raised 5 $ in a week I got the 48. set , so I’ll have backups for 48 hopefully they’ll be colors I love lol thank you for taking the time to make and edit all your videos and reviews and pdf,s. I want to get the color catalogues on my next check and nope I don’t need another pencil ever lmao
I like how you moved the box sideways to read the thing that was written up to bottom XD I liked your shirt too ! // How do you find so many color pencils ? :O The colored page looks amazing ! :O
The brutfuner 500 set next to the square set, makes the squares feel more like a soft oil based pencil, the 500 set is firmly in the wax based for me. I love the formula of the Macaron set, similar to holbein but not identical.
Well I did not know you could blend pencils with an alcohol marker. That is very interesting and I look forward to trying that method. I own the 48 set of Arteza and just love them. I am hoping to get the larger set at some point. You did seem to suggest though that the Markart might be comparable. Is that right? Great video. Thanks.
Yes, I’m considering trying the Arteza and Markart more closely side-by-side because I was quite surprised at how much I liked these. I’ve always liked the Arteza too.
@@SarahRenaeClark Thanks. I am looking to get a bigger set but will hold off until I see what you think. I am in no rush and would rather make an informed decision at some point down the track rather than rush in because the Markart seem to be alot cheaper than the Artezas. No rush. :)
The translation of the text above the numbers were from top to bottom. if you read that is says: “oil based colours” I think (my chinese reading isn’t good because I grew up abroad so idk the last word) 48色= 48 colours
Hello. Thank you very much. That was useful. Can you please do a comparison between the Nyoni and Kalour pencils? Im trying to get a budget colored pencils and i'm hesitatingvto choose between these two. Thankbyou very much in advance 🌷
Hilarious opening with the translation app - I use google translate often an teach my ESL students why they shouldn't' use it with humorous examples. Thanks for the giggle. I have some Nyoni water soluble pencils and Deli's. I am going to try them out on the page and see how they compare.
Can you do reviews on Artownlar, Prina, Drawdart and Amazon Basic color pencils? I see these brands alot when searching for budget friendly pencils but I can never find any decent reviews for them.
I swore by karisma pencils when i was kid and due to not the best start in life i never was bought them or pushed with me creativity, i am now just starting to collect sample draw again color and crafts well as much as i can as lost everything due to a serious dv relationship so building up slowly and i just would like your take on pencil s please xxxx
...what in the perverted colored pencils is going on here? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The music made it funnier! Thank you for the laughs and the time you put in to review all those colored pencils. I purchased a few sets based on your recommendations (from another one of your videos).
I love the colors. They look super creamy and easy to blend. Thanks for the demonstration. I love the design of your creative space * ~ * The good thing about the color collection is that you have many shades to paint...at the moment I paint with some watercolor faber castell but the 36 :)
Sarah, I love coloring and would love to try-combinations of coloring pencils and markers. The only thing is I have a problem of markers showing at the back of the page of a coloring book. It’s drive me crazy!!! Is there markers of a reasonable budget that you can recommend?
If you’re wanting markers that don’t bleed, you’ll need something water-based, not alcohol based. The downside is you’ll lose the amazing blending features that alcohol markers have. I haven’t tried many water based, but I have used Arteza, Ohuhu and Tombow and all seem to be good. Tombow is amazing but are pricier.
Sorry I just got a question how does coloring book artist choose poetry or saying for their coloring books?😊 I would love to share my angel in the sky poem that I made myself
@@SarahRenaeClark thank you. I watched the video but saw they didn't really get a mention. It's a shame they don't put the names of the colours on them as it makes it hard to even swatch them and know what's what.
@@SarahRenaeClark I compared them side by side, the core and wood looks the same ( when not sharpened yet)and smells the same, and they feel similar, only the colors are different. The numbers of nyoni are with an N, the numbers of Arteza are with an A, I did not see other brands that has letters at the beginning of their color-number
I'm curious: have you ever found oil-based pencils to be greasy? Either to the touch or in leaving oily marks on a page? I'd love to see your review on the Amazon basics. They may be quite similar to a lot you've already reviewed, however, as most of them come from China.
The one problem with these budget sets is that you can't buy the pencils open stock. Which means if you run out of a pencil or a number of them, you have to go buy a complete, new set to get those pencils back. It's a bit of a bummer!
Well, we have learned that colouring is sexy. Hmmm The Markart 120 on Amazon in USA has a jungle cat, not a bird on the front in USA. The Markart is Amazon choice. Plus, I checked Honey and, right now it is really high priced. I put them on my watchlist, as they have been quite lower 15 days ago, and even lower still, 30 days ago! I love Honey for that reason. Never thought of sharpening them first, I will! You never have to hold your pencils to sharpen. That is what I want. I believe that how the pencil goes in, and is held during the process, makes a difference in the possible breakage! Thank you.
It isn't really like surprising to see colouring pencils that either look similar or same. It is actually quite common for companies to ask art manufacturers to produce a colouring pencils with their label for example: mont marte, Reno art etc
Sarah, you and other Artists here, said you can print your Pages on your own Paper. I just have a Laser Printer available. Would that work out too, or is that just an ink cartridge Printer option?
@@SarahRenaeClark Thanks Sarah, for your reply. Ok, I can give it a shot then. Oh, that will broaden my opportunities in coloring. Got a nice coloring book, but it is quite thick and not the best to work in for longer time period. But now I´ll try to scan and get a single Page to work on. That´s really good news. Have a fine day. CU on your next projects 🤗
Friendly FYI...If you have a colored pencil that continually breaks get an electric heating pad and fold it over with the pencils inside let the pencils cool down completely then they should sharpen beautifully...the wax/oil heats up and resets inside the pencils and binds the core..like anything air pockets can get in the wood pencil causing the inner core to crack
I sometimes thinks how much color pencils does Sarah have(maybe a room full of them😆)
She does pencil colors review almost twice / thrice a month
That's actually so usefull for many of us
Great videos Btw⭐
Thank you Sarah for your super-detailed review!
I'm suprised that Nyoni is sold out of China with Chinese version case. Nyoni is a brand which produces art supplies in China, being the choice of many art students for its good quality and affordable price.
Here's the translation of the charaters on the case:
油性 = oily（not oil based）
彩铅 = 彩色铅笔 = colored pencil
48色 = 48 colors
Please note that in China, colored pencils are classified basing on their water solubility and marked as two types: oily (油性, aka oil based OR wax based) colored pencils and water soluble (水溶) colored pencils.
Hence the printing "油性" doesn't really tell you if it's based on oil or wax. Sometimes "油性" is translated into "oil based" or "oily", neither of which promising the pencils really base on oil. You may well have to trust the feeling of your hand.

The Chinese characters on this box are quite the same as the ones used in Japanese, and about Japanese I can say something, so it would go like this:
油性 = Oil base
彩用 = pigment used
So it would translate as it is, Oil base pigment used, so it’s an oil base pencil.

The one below the brand, since I don’t speak Chinese and the characters are in cursive they are a little bit fuzzy to understand (this one you guys have to excuse me, I really can’t understand them lol)
The character besides the numbers, 色, it means colors, it’s the counter for colors, so it would be 36 colors/48 colors!
Loooved the comparison in this video sarah, I might get these ones for my collection, because you know… colored pencils are never enough! 😍😍😍

Yes in Chinese 油性 yóuxìng means oil based. Xìng here means the property or nature of sth. It is also the word used to mean gender.
彩铅 căiqīan means colored lead (meaning the pencil core).
U r right. They r NEVER ever enough
Omg thanks for the early morning laugh!! 😂 😂😂 I love my Nyoni 120 set and I also like their feel in hand better than the Brutfuner squares. Now I wish I had the Markarts with the better matching barrels though! Thanks for another very thorough review!
These are sexy colored pencils for sure (and I also wish I got the 120 set 😆)
I agree
I coudn't stop laughing after seeing "Those words that are too incriminating" TMI Sarah! TMI!
Nice
I have both Markart and Nyoni 120 sets and agree they are virtually the same product. The Markart were quite a bit less expensive and I do enjoy using them.

Please make a review of Mont Marte Premium Color Pencils, I saw a 72 set in a wooden box, they look beautiful ❤️
Beautiful! Thanks for reviewing. Please review Colleen 120pcs too. I heard they are great.
Your colouring pages always turn out so beautiful 😍🤩❤ and you always give a smile on my face 😀😁 I love your channel ❤❤
I would like you to review the starjoy gold
Lol after several video from reliable you tubers how good they are I bought the 72 set and now I figure even tho they have raised 5 $ in a week I got the 48. set , so I’ll have backups for 48 hopefully they’ll be colors I love lol thank you for taking the time to make and edit all your videos and reviews and pdf,s. I want to get the color catalogues on my next check and nope I don’t need another pencil ever lmao
I like how you moved the box sideways to read the thing that was written up to bottom XD I liked your shirt too ! // How do you find so many color pencils ? :O The colored page looks amazing ! :O
I REALLY ❤ your coloring
I really love your comparing videos
I love the Prismacolor and the FC Polychromos, Most of my Coloring tutorials are with them. Thanks for your video Sarah!!
I LOVE YOUR COLOURED PENCILS
The brutfuner 500 set next to the square set, makes the squares feel more like a soft oil based pencil, the 500 set is firmly in the wax based for me. I love the formula of the Macaron set, similar to holbein but not identical.
I love the colors from your drawing, beautiful blending from colors
I agree that it would be great if barrels matched the lead color.
This was a wonderfully informative video! We’ll done! ❤️
By the way Renae, if you still wish the 120 set of MarkArt, they are currently on sale at Amazon. Good Luck!
Love these pencils.
Well I did not know you could blend pencils with an alcohol marker. That is very interesting and I look forward to trying that method.
I own the 48 set of Arteza and just love them. I am hoping to get the larger set at some point. You did seem to suggest though that the Markart might be comparable. Is that right? Great video. Thanks.
Yes, I’m considering trying the Arteza and Markart more closely side-by-side because I was quite surprised at how much I liked these. I’ve always liked the Arteza too.
@@SarahRenaeClark Thanks. I am looking to get a bigger set but will hold off until I see what you think. I am in no rush and would rather make an informed decision at some point down the track rather than rush in because the Markart seem to be alot cheaper than the Artezas. No rush. :)
@@SarahRenaeClark please do. Currently shopping for a pencil set
The translation of the text above the numbers were from top to bottom. if you read that is says: “oil based colours” I think (my chinese reading isn’t good because I grew up abroad so idk the last word) 48色= 48 colours
I hope you also review deli oil color pencil , and compare it with arrtx or brutfuner 😊
I did! They are in the video pinned to my homepage
Do a review on the Grizaye pencils! They are amazing!
Never been this early 🤭🤭
Love all your videos, and thanks to you my coloring getting better 💖
The MarkArt have been on my list. Did you try the StarJoy 120? These look very similar also. Thanks for the video. You always do such a good job!
Not yet!
Can you do a review on woomer? I have heard AMAZING things about them and theyre supposed to be light fast
Hello. Thank you very much. That was useful. Can you please do a comparison between the Nyoni and Kalour pencils? Im trying to get a budget colored pencils and i'm hesitatingvto choose between these two. Thankbyou very much in advance 🌷
I’ve compared these in my most viewed video and on my website too :)
Hilarious opening with the translation app - I use google translate often an teach my ESL students why they shouldn't' use it with humorous examples. Thanks for the giggle. I have some Nyoni water soluble pencils and Deli's. I am going to try them out on the page and see how they compare.
Which one is the best? Deli or Nyoni?
Thank you for the review on these. I don't any good colored peciels yet. Great job.
Awesome review!
Can you do reviews on Artownlar, Prina, Drawdart and Amazon Basic color pencils? I see these brands alot when searching for budget friendly pencils but I can never find any decent reviews for them.
Interesting how the MarkArt tin artwork is very smilar to Arteza, even down the the red box and trays. I'd say, they're the same.
I swore by karisma pencils when i was kid and due to not the best start in life i never was bought them or pushed with me creativity, i am now just starting to collect sample draw again color and crafts well as much as i can as lost everything due to a serious dv relationship so building up slowly and i just would like your take on pencil s please xxxx
...what in the perverted colored pencils is going on here? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The music made it funnier!
Thank you for the laughs and the time you put in to review all those colored pencils. I purchased a few sets based on your recommendations (from another one of your videos).
Have you tried shuttle art pencils
I wish you will review the Derwent Procolour, Derwent Chromaflow, and Derwent Drawing
Hahaha, oh my word! I just look at my Markart box. Mine says "Astist" too!
I love the colors. They look super creamy and easy to blend. Thanks for the demonstration. I love the design of your creative space * ~ * The good thing about the color collection is that you have many shades to paint...at the moment I paint with some watercolor faber castell but the 36 :)
Where can I get these swatches please?
Your page turned out great! I’m still working on mine.
Will you have any swatch templates available soon 😍😍😍
love this video!!! love u're t-shirt!!! i'm stay tune!!!
Got the color book! Love it!
Sarah, I love coloring and would love to try-combinations of coloring pencils and markers. The only thing is I have a problem of markers showing at the back of the page of a coloring book. It’s drive me crazy!!!
Is there markers of a reasonable budget that you can recommend?
If you’re wanting markers that don’t bleed, you’ll need something water-based, not alcohol based. The downside is you’ll lose the amazing blending features that alcohol markers have.
I haven’t tried many water based, but I have used Arteza, Ohuhu and Tombow and all seem to be good. Tombow is amazing but are pricier.
@@SarahRenaeClark , thank you and will give it ago
Sorry I just got a question how does coloring book artist choose poetry or saying for their coloring books?😊 I would love to share my angel in the sky poem that I made myself
Hi Sarah, have you ever reviewed Bic intensity pencils?
Yes, they were included in a recent video where I tried to review every pencil in the world 😊
@@SarahRenaeClark thank you. I watched the video but saw they didn't really get a mention. It's a shame they don't put the names of the colours on them as it makes it hard to even swatch them and know what's what.
Can you please review Zenacolor some time in the future? They are on Amazon
Also the arteza pencils are made of this factory, they have this paper box as well and the same description on the tin box
Interesting! I suspected they might be but hadn’t seen any strong evidence yet.
@@SarahRenaeClark I compared them side by side, the core and wood looks the same ( when not sharpened yet)and smells the same, and they feel similar, only the colors are different. The numbers of nyoni are with an N, the numbers of Arteza are with an A, I did not see other brands that has letters at the beginning of their color-number
I'm curious: have you ever found oil-based pencils to be greasy? Either to the touch or in leaving oily marks on a page? I'd love to see your review on the Amazon basics. They may be quite similar to a lot you've already reviewed, however, as most of them come from China.
Not greasy like you are describing. Is that something you’ve found?
@@SarahRenaeClark No. At present only have wax based pencils.
The one problem with these budget sets is that you can't buy the pencils open stock. Which means if you run out of a pencil or a number of them, you have to go buy a complete, new set to get those pencils back. It's a bit of a bummer!
Sakura coupy pencils and Stabilo mam Sarah😊😊
Thanks for the video! Can you please do a video on the Amazon Basics Colored Pencils? Thanks!
They are on my list to try!
Like those swatch cards Sarah. Did you create them or download them from somewhere else?
I’ve made them and will make them available soon
Well, we have learned that colouring is sexy. Hmmm
The Markart 120 on Amazon in USA has a jungle cat, not a bird on the front in USA. The Markart is Amazon choice. Plus, I checked Honey and, right now it is really high priced. I put them on my watchlist, as they have been quite lower 15 days ago, and even lower still, 30 days ago! I love Honey for that reason.
Never thought of sharpening them first, I will!
You never have to hold your pencils to sharpen. That is what I want. I believe that how the pencil goes in, and is held during the process, makes a difference in the possible breakage!
Thank you.
The bird is on the smaller set. The cat is on the 120 only 😊
Another factor for me is the price difference. Amazon has the 120 Nyoni set for $70 and the 120 Markart for $40.
Price is the reason I chose Nyoni - I got the 120 set for $30 from AliExpress.
@@cathl3154 Definitely, me too. Depends where in the world you are which is cheaper.
It isn't really like surprising to see colouring pencils that either look similar or same. It is actually quite common for companies to ask art manufacturers to produce a colouring pencils with their label for example: mont marte, Reno art etc
Wow! Amazon Germany sells the Marktart 48 pack for 130 euros which is around 150 $ 😱
Ouch!
Sarah, you and other Artists here, said you can print your Pages on your own Paper. I just have a Laser Printer available. Would that work out too, or is that just an ink cartridge Printer option?
I use a laser printer too
@@SarahRenaeClark Thanks Sarah, for your reply. Ok, I can give it a shot then. Oh, that will broaden my opportunities in coloring. Got a nice coloring book, but it is quite thick and not the best to work in for longer time period. But now I´ll try to scan and get a single Page to work on. That´s really good news. Have a fine day. CU on your next projects 🤗
That background - wow
Thanks so much for this
What do you think about brustro artist colour pencils ?
I haven’t tried them yet
I bought an alcohol blender marker just for blending color pencils
Wish to see you compare the Amazon Basics and the Deli colored pencils.
Ohh, your Translator needs a trip to the church.
Which one is the best? Deli or Nyoni?
@@TheHugooo15 As a personal preference it's the Deli. Don't seem so different from Nyoni though.
Sarah I love your tutorials. You make watching videos fun. Love you so much Love Terri Simmers.
