I'd love to download the Joob coloring page, but the long link in the description "is no longer available" when I click it, 😭😿 EDIT: Just joined their discord, just for Joob's coloring page, lol! I can't wait to color it,
Evan and Katelyn coloring book when? lol no joke, you should make your own adult coloring book for the merch store. And by adult coloring book I mean the pictures have a lot more intricate details to fill in that young children probably don't have to motor skills to color in the lines.
Honeslty making a floral pattern shirt would be so cute. It could be black like Evan's but have a little Joob hiding in the flowers.
You should test other brands of crayons too different brands have a different wax to color ratio and they do different things, also test different paper weights and textures you can get some cool results. I remember doing some of these in school with oil pastels
@@nursefuzzywuzzy ah yes that would be interesting to try!
Katelyn needs to make a full joobie coloring book. Please make this happen.
Yesss she is so talented
I’d sign this petition 😂
I Soo agree. I would frame them in my house 😮
A coloring book that gets colored all black 😂
But yes, I agree.
Have no interest in that at all but I still think that's an awesome idea, this should defo be done!
Evan being mindbogglingly astonishingly talented at art is not something I expected, but the talent they both have is enough for thousands!! So impressive on both parts :)
he has a beautiful big palette full of old paints so I guess he's really into it, and I love it.
I knew he was a talented artist but I was floored by those drawings
It's not talent can we stop calling it that? it's not something they're born with it's something they learn. they're both skilled artists
@@muimi365 I never insinuated talent wasn't learned? Not to mention perfected? They both put in the work and it's represented in their progress and what art and products they've posted online. We don't even know the half of it, just what they've presented to us as their audience...And you can still be born with something (artistic eye) and enhance it over time, whether or not that's the situation here.
The problem with the gluestick gun “hack” is cuz it stole footage from an actual artist and that artist explicitly says you have to use a gun specifically made for crayons, not a regular gluestick gun.
this
i kind of wonder if a low heat glue gun would work better? most high quality glue guns are high heat and i bet that only makes it worse but it sucks how the og artist didnt get credit
Do you know the crayon glue gun thing is called?
I thought they made glue stick molds to put melted crayon in
@@LifeLostSoul look for one designed for 'sealing wax'. crayola also made a 'crayon melter' in the past but it looks like they've been discontinued I think? at the very least the amazon listing for it says its unavailable and they "don't know when or if this item will be back in stock"
Seeing Evan’s artwork is like…. Mind boggling. Would love to see a video where they really just stretch their artistic abilities with whatever is subject they feel most comfortable in???
True
The whole "You've been doing it wrong" movement is ridiculous when it comes to art. There literally is NO wrong way. You do you. You make your own thing.
Also worth noting here... as a kid we would color with crayons and then use a penny or similar scraper to "blend" scrap off the crayon leaving a more solid color. And as a kid I mean 40 years ago... lol
I agree but I also see "artists" complain about certain products when they are not using it right. So 50-50. It's there to introduce the purpose of a supply. How you use after is you.
You can definitely do things wrong if you're following an art technique. But if you're going into it doing whatever you want and not specifically following a technique then there's no wrong way to do it.
Especially when the "wrong" way is literally how they were designed to be used and the "right" way is something that was come up with after the fact. Not that there's anything wrong with the new way, it's cool. But calling the way crayons have always been used "wrong" is very odd. Many such cases
So true. I wish I could give this comment a zillion thumbs up. Art is supposed to be fun and expanding, not rigid and limiting.
As a preschool teacher we used to bring in electric pancake griddles and set them low...put wax paper on them and let the kids draw with melting crayons..add sparkles....then put a piece of wax paper across the top and squeegie...could be like stain glass...really great colorful blends...or mud. You never know. But the process was fun.
Pencil sharpener to break up the crayon. Sandwich between wax paper, teacher would iorn in between layers of paper bag to keep the iron clean.
Then use construction paper as the frame. Was fun to make paper snowflakes with chunks of color.
Yes!! Cayolas melt around 105°F which is a temperature that might be uncomfortable for humans but isn't going to be necessary super harmful. So you can have a rock hot enough that a child could use without getting burns.
i vote for us getting some "relax and make art with evan and katelyn" where we work on drawing togther.
Hear me out.. A Shirt with a "Floral-Design", but all the Flowers have littel Joob-Heads in them! 😍❤😅
Evan, your old art is FANTASTIC and when you say you were good at technical art, I guess that’s the engineer in you 😀
I think they are photos not drawings. LOL
@@daniellesmith7301 they are photos of his drawings
@@daniellesmith7301 Nope he said the color one is chalk pastels and the black and white is charcoal
@@daniellesmith7301 he was saying when he took a photo of the drawing, the photo wasn't good quality so he went into photoshop to try to fix the quality. They were drawings, just pictures of drawings
Why can’t even shoe some of the art???
Completely off topic from the crayon techniques Evan’s art from when he was younger is mind blowing such skill 🤩
Not sure if you had any comments on the stream about the sandpaper on a stick, but it's for keeping pencil tips sharp in the workshop. We used them in my drafting class to be able to draw to a 64th of an inch. It's a good tool for traditional pencils.
well this is good to know because I always used them to file off the used end of the blending stick 😅
@@PhearDeath I mean that’s their use anyway lol this comment is just another use for them. So you weren’t using it wrong at all 😊.
@@PhearDeaththats why they give you one with blending sticks! Youre doing it right
I would blend my crayon coloring books together as a kid using my fingernail to burnish the wax into the paper. Never knew it was an actual technique till I grew up.
At school we did this with a tissue on our finger to blend together coloured pencils a little more! Or we'd sharpen the pencil over the page and use the little pieces of pigment to rub in!
@@keelzcows2222 yeah I remember using normal paper that was crumpled until it was kind of soft over my finger to blend in elementary or middle school
See, we were already learning art techniques and making our own blending stumps with tissue/paper. And for me anyways, I never knew that those were legit art techniques.
I would do crosshatch coloring with light layers of different colors in different directions and then grab one of those cheap soft white block pencil erasers (I had different ones for different colors since they came in 3, 5, 8 and sometimes 10 packs back then and my mom knew to grab the 10 pack whenever she saw one, lol) and a coin or cuticle pusher (my mom was a beautician) to rub and blend then scrape off excess wax. Sometimes the rounded back end of a pen or marker wrapped in paper or aluminum foil if I misplaced my erasers. Even pieces of makeup sponges. Kids are creative. 😅
I would LOVE to see you guys revisit the pendant craft, but do it BIG. Imagine, you have a large metal cookie sheet or something, and then heat it from below and rub crayons on top to make a large wall art design! A Bob Ross design specifically? Bob Ross melted crayon wall art!?! Pretty please? 🌄🏔🌲🌳
You can use wax paper as a canvas so you don't ruin the cooking sheet
26:00 Damn Evan this is so damn good. Im blown away
Seriously, they look like photographs of the subject matter. Not photographs of a charcoal depiction.
I personally love using both coloring techniques with crayons, lightly colored no heated blend vs heavily colored and heated blend. Depends on the final look you want to go for. The blending stick is a big help. I will have to use that one.
Same!
I feel like Evan and Katelyn's channel is basically the adult version of the PBS Show "Zoom" and quite honestly i'm here for it.
Omg Katlyn please make a whole coloring book of all your designs they are all so fun!
oh i had no idea Evan was so talented in realistic art! i’ve studied at an art school for 10 years and i’m not sure i could recreate it!! the one with the candles is sooo fun
I remember melting crayons onto rocks as a kid! We'd also take all the old crayon nubs and shave them down into little bits, mix those all together in like a glass test tube or something to melt in the sun or oven, then let it cool to make a multicolored crayon.
I used do do art with crayons that would be ironed after as a kid. Parental overview at that time meant "be careful not to ruin the iron!" An 8 year old should absolutely be able to do that.
One of the many uses for paper bags in the 80s, keeping the wax off the iron.
Personally i'd pay for some Evan and Katelyn coloring pages.
I have just now noticed that Evan is as tall sitting as Katelyn is standing, lmao.
that first video makes me realize I really hate when people discover a new technique for something but instead of just saying that they go I CANT BELIEVE WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS WRONG OUR ENTIRE LIVES like no honey please put down the clickbait title
Right? Like opening bananas - there is no wrong way (not even the way when you completely crush it, which isn't exactly effective or desirable, but it's not exactly wrong.)
Actually for the first hack there is a third way to shade with crayons and it's to first colour lightly and then build up the colours! which gives crayon feeling, but if you want it smoother then heat is a good option.
That's always the technique I've seen used by artists who work with crayons and oil pastels, doing it lightly at first allows you to get a feel for what you are doing before you have to commit to a look
Ok so for crayon art I like the hair dryer and blend sticks. But I use a makeup brush to brush off any and all flakes usually. Using a big fluffy blush brush or even using a thicker fan brush. Not a painting brush but a makeup brush. Softer and fluffier. You can even use a high lighter or eyeshadow blush and heat for a very gentle blend. Making me wanna do crayon art again. Haven’t done so in years. Maybe I can do some later today. :3
Now I would say using the heat and a brush after you did the blend stick to like sorta polish it off. You can even use a detail eyeshadow brush. Its gonna be fun. :3
love the idea of using makeup brushes!
Love this! My dad used to love melting crayons into old unused glass containers and use them for decor! And we’d decorate pumpkins for Halloween by melting crayons on them! This video is gonna be fun (and chaotic) 😂
I wonder if the Resin instead of superglue would mess up the crayon due to the heat it creates? Crayon Resin experiments would be a fun idea :D
From what I saw when Peter Brown tried it in a Dye Trying video, it didn't really do much. So it could certainly work!
But I mean everyone can get super glue in every store. So if that dries overnight I might give it a shot. Resin on the other hand - nope not a hack that you can easily do with what you probably have or can get today.
@@danielalaatz57 I hate to try and calibrate your certainty but 2 part epoxy is a resin and that stuff is everywhere even Dollar General. The UV loctite and 2 part craft epoxy are at Walmart craft section so if you need more availability then it has to be already coming out of your ears.
@@rallyfeind Not where I live. And for UV Resin I also would need a UV Lamp, or not. So availability for glue is better here. If you can get resin and want to work with it - ok. I just like it if there is a easy to get option
@@danielalaatz57 The uv glue comes with a light.
Edit there are " as seen on tv" kits too. You are just making excuses.
You got UA-cam but not Amazon?
Thank you guys so much for making this content , my daughter is obsessed with UA-cam making videos and I keep telling her it doesn't always work like that, so I've been showing her your contents to make sure she knows 5min crafts are mostly lies. and she's very happy, and now, so am i.😂
today I learned Even is not just a brilliant engineer but also an artist in his own right
Katelyn's coloring page would make such a cute sticker.
Edit: My mom and dad both said "Crans" when I was growing up, and their families were both very southern. I always say "Crayons" because I sounded the word out when I learned it and it stuck.
Evan's shirt has some serious Golden Girls energy, and I am here for it!!!
I used to pronounce them as "crowns" when I was little too. 😭 I fr remember having an existential crisis about it in elementary school bc the colloquial pronunciation didn't match up with the spelling.
The hot glue gun "hack" splashing brown everywhere made me lol.
Pool float joobie is so cute
My elementary school had a heat plate with some tinfoil on it that we’d put paper on and draw with the melty crayons. It was so fun! But in hindsight it probably wasn’t the best idea to have kindergartners use such a hot surface lol!
If you used sealing wax instead of crayons, you have what peeps in the fine art community call "encaustic paintings" Very fancy. Very old world.
for dried on super glue on my fingers I use hot water and lava soap. It just kind of scraps off with my fingernails. Most of the heavy lifting is done by the hot water making the affected skin give way with the glue (we have lots of extra dry/dying skin layers XD ).
I read that as "hot lava" and was like "UHHHH, I GUESS THAT WORKS"
@@Erhannis haha, lava soap is like mechanics bar soap that has lots of pumice or whatever the grit is and helps scrub tough things like grease and oil off your hands
That floatie Joob is screaming to become TATTOOS & STICKERS!!
And a t-shirt!!
49:20 me looking at the heat gun and expecting to get a hot blast in the face. *confusion*
Evan: “we’re not fancy like this”😂
Also them: possess a mood ring toilet seat
Don’t forget the velvet keyboard.
i know you guys didn't choose brown on purpose but this made this test so much funnier
Never ever change your content. I WAIT DAILY FOR YOUR CONTENT. You both are so talented, and most, maybe everyone will watch anything you post.
This reminds me of "crayon melts" which was one of the activities at the summer camp I went to. you can make friendship bracelets or melt crayons by putting paper on a warm hotplate and then drawing with peeled crayons on top. Works well for high volume coverage and is real fun.
We need that Joobie Knife as a Halloween t-shirt!
Y’all! I was so excited to see a new uncut video. Y’all are LITERALLY my most watched on the tube. And I watch ALL THE TIME
In my area of Texas, those with thicker accents say “crayuns”. Listening to me talk opposed to my younger siblings, my dad, and mom, I have no discernible accent from vocal lessons, speech therapy for a slur and stutter, and speech lessons for public speaking (competitive). So while my family says “crayuns”, I’ve got normal “crayons”. Drives my dad insane.
You need to make a coloring book! Katelyn’s drawings are so so cute! I want them all!
I have a job interview today, very nervous (been unemployed the last few months) your video this morning is making me feel calm and happy. ❤😊
hope you get it! 💗🙏
When I was a kid I did a shirt crayon thing with my stepmom. We needed a certain type of crayon but I don’t remember what, and we just drew on paper, and when we ironed it we put a pillow case on top of the paper and cardboard in the shirt. I remember it lasting quite a while until I eventually grew out of it. I also remember it being a lot less splotchy
Evan that charcoal art is absolutely amazing
My mentor teacher does the shirt craft in her classroom. Her class goes to the zoo every year and before their field trip they draw an animal on sandpaper and she irons it onto shirts for them to wear to the zoo. It’s so cute! According to her it lasts a couple washes or so, which for kids works just fine since they grow fast.
EVANS ART IS SO GOOD! WOW! especially the candles
I got such nostalgia when you pulled out the blending sticks. I used to use those so much when I colored my sketches/drawings with colored pencils...they work amazing with those.
Ooh I really like Evan's shirt!
Also, I think the best method of blending wax crayons is to go light and slowly build the color and then blend it together with the white or a blending tool.
In order to make the glue gun hack work I think you need to use a high heat glue gun instead of one of the small low heat glue guns. They also use bigger glue sticks so the crayon would fit easier and melt quicker to keep it from cracking and splattering.
If y'all do the pendants again with UV resin.. might I suggest neon, metallic and glitter crayons? There are pastel sets too.
Wow.. Evans older art work, especially the charcoal art is AMAZING! Holy Moly!
We did the whole sandpaper iron-on transfers with crayons back in the early 1980s. Honestly, none of the "hacks" in this content is new - did it all back in the 1980s as a kid. Ofc I live in Hallmark/Crayola's hometown.
Oh, thank goodness you uploaded. I nearly had to _read_ for entertainment!
The fact Evan is so good at realism and Katelyn is good at cutesy/more playful art makes me love their relationship dynamic more, because the last person I expect to be that good at realism is the one who actively commits chaos (**coughcough** Evan)
I wish I could find a love like you guys have! It's so amazing to see. Y'all are perfect together!
PLEASE MAKE A COLORING BOOK! I would absolutely love to color lots of Katelyn’s designs😊
Am I the only one curious about the art Evan can't show? I can't picture him in a Nude Figure drawing class.
I am too 😂😂 i wonder if it was even just nude drawings cuz wouldnt they just say "we cant show nude figure art"?? They kinda beat around the bush about what they were even being careful about, it made me extra curious 😂😂😂
26:13 EVAN?!? You’re so talented!! Thats actually amazing, your art is so good
19:53 blending sticks creating friction and therefore heat....
I remember this crayon-making machine I got as a kid...you could put various crayon pieces in this metal top slot, and put in new crayon molds (some shaped like cheetahs/alligators, which were the preference), and just get to watch them melt. And there was some sparkly plastic component that would change color from the light/heat, to let you know when it was safe to open?
Man, I loved that thing. It even came with different glittery crayon chunks, and out would come these cool crayons swirled with the colors you chose in an epic tie-dye...
26:26 Evan what the hell you are amazing at art 😮😮😮😮
I feel like the one with the cat tshirt would be a cute gift for a kid to make grandparents but put on a cushion. Could the crayons be warmed up like the first hack?
Wax on clothes is first step in batiking...dye across the waxed design...then wash out the wax. Also, could use jewelry wiring technique to hold glass over crayon locket
A couple things from this stream - first of all, I love y'all's content SO MUCH 💖 And holy cannoli Evan's art is insanely good, I wish I had a fraction of that talent. You guys and your vibes are so adorable 😭 and loving the floral shirt!
I know it was due to a time. But it’s so much better than a big lake. It looks like she doesn’t need much to be happy💜
The brown was definitely a choice for the hot glue gun hack… I laughed so hard when it shot out all over the other crayons 😂
I could be mistaken but I’m pretty sure the entire purpose of the white crayon is not to make something white… but to blend? At least that’s what I’ve always used it for.
Oh! What a great idea! An Evan and Katelyn coloring book would be awesome! :)
There's something so adorable about Evan colouring with crayons 🥹😅🫶🏻
Holy cow batman that looks like it was taken with a camera, not drawn, I'm by far impressed with your talent for charcoal Drawings Evan! I would love to see a UA-cam video of you showing us some techniques!! ❤❤❤❤
“bahaha thats what she said”
54:32
Text idea for shirt “Here’s Kitty” (Shinning reference) 👀
that last one could be really cool if someone designed a gun for the crayons, like it has a different push on it, maybe it'd be more a syringe then a crayon, or maybe it can have a thing that you pull down with your thumb... im gonna join your discord server, then i'll send you a blueprint of my engineering skills because for i am amazing.
JESUS FRANCIS CHRIST!!! Evan is a REALLY GOOD drawer hihi
His charcoal work is mesmerizing!
Someone else on the internet taught me this recently and I tried it and it works: When you get super glue on your skin, after you've washed it off, put either oil or lotion on top of it and rub it in and it'll come off!
Evan and Katelyn are my favorite creators and I watch their videos all the time they’re usually so up best and having fun and messing with each other. Something in this video seems different though. Does anyone notice a weird vibe in this video like an awkwardness between them. I know they’re only human and can have off days too just like anyone else.
Love the flower shirt Evan. Also E6000 would have worked on the pendants without needing resin. The glue gun hack can work but you are better off getting one actually designed for melting crayons
I'm 40 years old and when I was 8 we did the crayon and rock craft in school. Were the rocks hot? Yes, but at 8 we knew enough not to put our hands on the rock.
I wanna know what it is Evan has to be careful for... Katelyn is ON it whatever it is haha..
Also grating or shsving crayons into dust, then sprinkling it in whatever pattern and popping it under a grill until melted then tip and tilt the way you would a paint pour. Leave flat to set ❤😊
One of my dad's hacks when he was in the hospital was to coloring. Beside have the time go by it was also calming. He thought to bring coloring books and crayons to his friend in the hospital. They thought it was silly at first and they would place it in the bed side table drawer. The next time we visited we interrupt his coloring session. We laugh when he asked for more books to color.
I think if you did a really thin layer of wax you'd have enough room for a coat of resin, and the resin would bond to the metal so it wouldn't matter if it didn't adhere to the wax. You'd just trap the wax underneath the resin.
i love floaty joob
Pls don’t forget to link the coloring page🥹🥹 I would love to color joobie
it's linked in the description! :)
I love your blending Katelyn and I love your old art as well Evan. What is the next horror game you will be playing? Thanks for all your great content.
When I was a kid, like first grade, my teacher would put wax paper over an aluminum foil covered hot plate/electric griddle, and we'd either put crayon chips to melt, or just make drawings on it the way you did your "improved" version of the pendants.
I use colored pencil and/or ink for my adult coloring - maybe I'll get a pack of crayons and try them. I do have one or two of those blending sticks - didn't like them for the pencils, but I do like the blending pencils for colored pencils. I find I can blend pens if I just do, like, one petal at a time rather than the whole flower one color then add the second color. (f you need to blend pens after you do one color at a time rather than one section, a Q-tip and a touch of 75% alcohol sometimes works.) // Evan, your charcoal art looks like a photograph! // f you work with PVC and want the writing off, acetone is what will work - if you want it completely clean, just do a small area at a time. // Crayon-on-shirt - wash in cold water only?
My jaw dropped at Evan’s art. WOW
I love this channel! I'm definitely subscribing! I've always have used crayons this way; pushing extremely hard, and scraping off the wax. It looks so smooth. But it is messy!
I love how the first half hour is Katelyn making a video, meanwhile Evan is just having an epic add moment.
I think it’d be cool to see the pendent hack with glitter crayons or the multicolored ones
E&K being surprised at the brown crayon squirts has me rolling
Wow Evan! Stunning flower picture! 😮😮😮 that’s a charcoal drawing? Dude you’re amazing!
Evan Even your old art is so beautiful !!! ❤️❤️❤️
You should make a video of drawing a bunch of Joobie pages. Holidays like Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving with turkey, Halloween in costumes, summer, spring, fall, winter maybe skiing or skating, birthday party jumping from a cake, sleeping on a keyboard, visiting space…. I bet you could sell a 25 page digital coloring book for $5.99 and sell a lot of them.
