I thought it would be fun to finally try water soluble crayons, but y’all seem pretty insistent I also try the Neocolor I crayons! Guess I gotta hurry, Year of the Crayon is almost over. 😳
The Year of the Crayon.
Welcome to the Artist star sign! 😸
How about we have a decade of crayon? Or better yet, A Lifetime of Crayons 🖍
I was gonna say...you skipped over the actual crayon crayon of Neocolor! They are fun to use together, textural and blended.
I have those, the neocolor 1, yay!
More crayons! YES!!!
In case no one's mentioned this yet, Caran D'ache also makes Neocolor I crayons that are wax pastels and non-water soluble! I've used them and they're fantastic too, and now I really want to try these!
Everyone and their mom. 😂 Yes I know! But I wanted to mix it up and try water soluble crayons. 😊
@@KaseyTheGolden I getcha! I’m glad you did, I’ve been curious about them for a while but didn’t wanna make the investment til I knew they were good and knew I could use them, so this was super helpful!
Off topic but ur super cute :)
Yes, I love neocolor I! They are the best!
Yayyyy
with expensive supplies there is an expensive expectation with it that the art must turn out "good" else you wasted the money. i love when art feels more playful and approachable
I think that is a good point. It's also something that makes a lot of people (myself included) almost hoard the more expensive or better quality supplies they have and continue to use the old, cheaper stuff so you don't "ruin" that nice canvas/canvas board/piece of wood/expensive sketchbook etc and you don't use up the expensive art mediums you spent ages saving up for and get left with nothing to show for it because you don't have any "finished" pieces, just a lot of "practice" pieces and experimentation etc.
For me I do it most often with supplies I am not comfortable with/new at regardless of the price because I have an idea in my head, get the stuff to do it with and then am too scared of messing it up to start! 😂 I love the whole 'customising shoes' thing on UA-cam so I decided to treat myself to a set of fabric paints and a cheap pair of white canvas shoes/trainers 👟. They have now been sitting in my room for several months because I am too scared of messing them up by choosing a design I'm not good enough to reproduce on shoes or in paint or just being unfamiliar with the materials. Every time I see a new shoe customisation video I get all excited by the end and think "yeah I'm going to do mine, they'll be amazing!" but I will go to get the paints and basically think myself out of it with all the ways I could easily f**k it up! 😂 😂
I also face a similar problem with my sketchbook, wanting to make each page a full illustration or finished piece instead of using a sketchbook for its intended purpose 😂
Money's only wasted if you don't use the supplies.
(Says the person who has spent an embarrassing amount of money on art supplies, many of which are still unused.)
I remember these crayons from elementary! On good days the teacher would let us use these for projects instead of Crayola's! I also had them as my first pair of "artist crayons" as my mom called them when I was first starting to *really* do art🎨😂😊🖍🖍🖍
Wow, lucky kids!!
In my country there are regional and national drawing competitions for elementary and junior. A lot of them using caran d'ache.
I'm so envy 😅
same! i also had them in elementary, we never had crayola. I remember my teacher droped mine while shoing how to use them in project we did but they're great! really expensive tho
What kind of bougie private school experience is that 😂
@@happyjellycatsquid Thats the thing! I went to public school😂🤣🤣
There's nothing wrong with drawing Nyan Cat's cousin, they're so cute!
I think the benefit of these and the Neocolor 1 are lightfast and can be used in a professional artist setting. I think that only 12 out of 126 pastels are considered fugitive. It's probably why they cost so much more than normal crayons. That being said, they're quite pricey if you plan on getting more than a few colors! I think you can get them individually open stock though :)
it's really refreshing to hear you verbalize why you like certain art supplies and not like others. and it seems like you're really honest with yourself about your reasons why. i think that's really cool. C:
I love how you do space scenes and this video is no exception, I love how it went from scribbles to a nicely blended color
Amazing job kasey✨👀
It’s an interesting process for sure!
h- how did you comment 2 days ago
It looks like Nyan cat
@@Veronica-ry2qc i thought the same!
@@Luiza247 I'm a patreon! We get early access ✨
I’ve got these and I often think I’d prefer using just paint, but they’re so vibrant and when I realised to use less water, it helps them and pencils not end up patchy. This is a really fun picture, and Nyan Cat was my first thought.
Oh my goodness I am only at the swatching and I am still enjoying this. I am so excited! This seems really helpful to assess what are supplies others would like while also seeing your wonderful art! Thank you for posting :)
I am literally married to Block Crayons, specifically Stockmar (Pronunced Shtockmar) beeswax crayons, also known as Waldorf Crayons. They are my favorite drawing medium in the whole world at this moment of time. I will give anything to have unlimited supply of Lemon Yellow, Golden Yellow, Carmine, Red Violet, Cobalt and Ultra Marine, in fact those are the only ones that I use regularly. They layer so well, their color transparency is epic, the choices of use are unlimited , and you can literally draw with them from the inside out. I am willing to talk about them enthusiastically for a whole conversation, they are so good and satisfying to work with.
I love how passionate you are about crayons:)
@@foolishmint9618 Honestly they’re so versatile and satisfying to work with, a very inspiring medium if you will. So easy to just pop out and use, every day few times a day even. You don’t need to use an expensive paper every time, you can just use your print paper and get a beautiful outcome. You can just work at them for a long time and get great details, shades and tones, or swipe a few swipes and get a beautiful abstract picture with a sense of movement, you can layer and layer and layer and get a masterpiece made. Very affordable and very beautiful to work with. How can one not be obsessed with them? They’re so good 🤩
@@GuyG.KTalesOfAnimals please give me a piece of advice on what crayons I should get
The minute a space cat that had a rainbow trail was brought up I immediately thought you were just drawing nyan cat lol 🐱🌈
Edit: just watched to the end and yeah, Its a nyan cat alright 😂
Oh, thank god, someone else said it!
I knew I couldn't be the only one who thought of nyan cat too 😭
Omg I literally commented about nyan cat too lmao I’m so glad I’m not the only one
same
btw the 80 something dollars for the bigger set seems like such a good investment if this is one of your main mediums-- they're so pigmented i'm sure they'd last long enough to make that money back, especially if you sell the pieces-- i've wanted these for yeaaaaarrrrssssss so i'm totally gonna grab em for my birthday & some fresh paper & live my best life! thanks for this demo~
Honestly I don't know who needs so many different crayons when mixing them is so easy... The best thing about professional materials is you can buy them individually, only the colors you actually need - and replacing the ones you use up.
@@NelaDunato that's what I was thinking but, sometimes you just want one colour without spending extra resources: time, effort to blend or mix, 2 sticks instead of 1.
You're right about the convenience of more variety-- I went crazy with prismacolor double sided markers or individual oil paints for a while so I will be saving for these and then resuming being frugal 🤡
@@NelaDunato This is true. I bought the 15 tin and have filled it out buying open stock of what I wanted - mostly neutrals to counteract the insane vibrancy! I definitely prefer to work with a more limited palette because it forces me to be more creative. And Nail, yes - I've had these for a while and done quite a few pieces with them, and they're almost as long as when they were new!
@@ritawilbur7343 Love their neutral and muted shades! I bought mine individually over the years a few at a time, and have about 20 in total now. I literally have 4 different reds and 3 different peachy tones (useful for portraits), but no bright blues or greens whatsoever. Having a defined favorite color palette can sure save you a lot of money :)
Remember to keep shavings in watercolour half pans for future use
Here in switzerland these are super cheap. Every kid has them. But the neocolor 1, which are not watersoluble, are waaaay better. You can litterly layer endlessly.
righttt, i loved them so much in school! i miss these times
Aw damn. I wish I lived in Switzerland now T-T
These where our crayons we used as kids in Switzerland 😅 This is our Crayola 😫😫👌 I personally hate them bc I am traumatized having to use them in kindergarten and school but I LOVE their oil pastels!
They’re so expensive though lol to compare them to crayola is crazy to me. These are good quality made good enough for professional use crayola are only made with children in mind lol. Guess I’m moving there if the children get these haha
@UCn_mkJXSEmww1zJbn7cMXVgthey are a swiss brand, you can just buy them at the grocery store they're not that expensive here 😅 Caran d'Ache is all we had in school
Omg yes you're right! But my biggest memory is about their pencils ahah
@@Justaperson354 I've always wanted crayola though! You get so many colours while Caran d'Ache had a very limited pallette especially in their crayons and pastels/oil pastels. They do have a great selection of pencils though!
@@Helvetica09 well crayola has a lot because they’re for children lol kids are learning colors and don’t know how to mix them at that age it also is because you can’t really layer crayola to make new colors lol
"Sometimes you just have to draw a cat farting rainbow" such a Kasey thing to say
Have you tried fabric crayons? You can draw with them and then iron them onto fabric like canvas tote bags and t shirts.
i was thinking the shavings can be kept from sharpening to wet and use like watercolor too. no waste! :D
I never thought of using the white crayon for painting stars, brilliant idea!
Aw Kasey!! These are some of my favourite things to use! I sometimes scribble the crayon on the lid of the tin and mix my own colours to use then as a watercolour if I went out to sketch anywhere 🧡
One of my favorite art supplies !! I love buying them separately, to full my collection. They are like 1,45€ each here in Belgium but totally worth the price :)
Same, the smaller sets are usually "rainbow" colors, and I prefer to buy more useful colors individually. It's also a great way to try out a few to see how you like them before getting more. Lots of online art shops in Europe sell them by piece. I think Amazon does as well.
I would love to see a video of all the art you made in a year!
It would be a nice retrospective on the year of the crayon :)
Wow! It’s amazing how these are so vibrant and work for texture and smooth watercolor! Very fun!
I love my Caran d'Ache crayons! I purchased the large set and, for my trial run, I drew/painted a Monet inspired pond with lily pads, flowers, and a bridge in the background. It's a small piece, roughly 4"x5", and my husband keeps it attached to the sun visor in his truck. I thought it was okay for my first attempt but he thinks it's a masterpiece. I guess that explains why we've been together for 25 years. :-)
I hope you take them out and use them every now and again... and I hope they begin to grow on you! They are so beautifully pigmented and dissolve so effortlessly with water. I just discovered your channel so now I'm curious about what other art supplies you've tried. I guess I'm going down the rabbit hole!
This drawing is giving nyan cat vibes in the best way possible
Absolutely obsessed with how the galaxy turned out!!! Probably one of my favourite pieces from year of the crayon
Yay finally you’re trying them! They are so fun to use!
Finally!
These were the crayons we got from school. I was the youngest kid of four, so I've got maybe three tins. (Obviously the older ones are more or less spent.) The wrapper and tin were different - a wave on the cover I think.
Cadran d'ache Neocolor 2 are the watercolor ones.
The neocolor 1 are the traditional non water soluble wax crayons (but art quality ).
I love these crayons! I mostly use them dry. I had actually wanted the Neocolor Is, but they are harder to find in my local stores. I do occasionally use a bit of water to smooth out the color, especially when for example using lights against a dark paper, and I don't want the grain of the paper coming through. But 95% of the time I use them dry. And if I do wet them, I often go over them again dry, because I do like that crayon texture. I just ADORE them! So pigmented and soft, they blend really well, and the colors are so vibrant.
Space kitty is my heart animal all those toots would make my house a natural abstract work of art.
Are they toots or paint?! 😂
The space looks stunning!
Wow, I wanna try these. They look really fun to use and the results are impressive.
love that space texture!
This is so cute! I love space and cats and rainbows and this piece!!! My favorite was definitely the tips and tricks spackled throughout the video. I love the message of artists supporting artists.
Love your illustration, and Neocolor 2 is easily the most fun art supply in existence.
One of the swatches she missed was the white on color and the black on color and with the water on top of it. It's amazing the amount of bledibility it has. ❤ I just recieved these as a gift and I'm completely obsessed! 😍
I've had these in my drawer for such a long time... maybe it's time to get them out again 😁 Really love your illustration!
I use these in just about all of my work I love them!
The space there is beautiful
Thank you! I really like the video!
These crayons do have me intrigued though. If I wanted to have both crayon appeal and watercolors in one.
Loving the contrast
Its all fun and games until Kasey makes a pop tart paper cut out and places it on the cat
these look really fun
I saw someone use these a couple weeks before Christmas and put them on my christmas list. Got the 30 pack! :D I love them!
I'm sold. I love how you can make them do different things.
I love my 36 set of Neocolor II !
I bought the Neocolor 2 for adult coloring books, and even tho it took me a while to save up for the 40 piece set, it is worth every cent! I also bought some more colors in an art store open stock.
I love them so much, they are so easy to handle, last forever and the colors are just sooo vibrant
I had to get a set of these for a college art class. They were $12-$15 for the same set you have (2011 dollars), and they must have gone through a label update because my tin is blue and the label is a different font! I'm not a fan of using them as crayons but they're great and versatile watercolors.
They have a non-soluble version. I love both.
You can also find these open stock at fine art stores and online.
Kinda not mad that year of the crayon is nearly over. You can thoroughly say you’ve comprehensively covered them. Props to you for it. It’s nice to be able to see an artist develop with a medium rather than just try it and move on
I really enjoy your videos and creativity.❤️😊
Amazing art!
Love the illustration. =)
It's like Nyan Cat, without the Pop Tart, but even more colorful!
Kasey! Any suggestions on art sketchbooks? Loved the video :)
I have the full set and love them. You used so much pigment a little goes a long way
I use these when I am going on a Holliday. So I have watercolors with me lol... and they aren't a problem to take to the aeroplane.
OMG IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING
Interesting crayons, I've only seen the pencils by Caran d'Ache. I loved it. Please can you buy cool sketchbooks and fill the first spread. I especially enjoyed your "testing Baylee Jae's sketchbook". It is one of my favorite videos. Keep inspiring everyone
When you said it was a cat in space with a rainbow fart I immediately started thinking of nyan cat lol
Hey Kasey, I was going to replace my 2nd set of 10 Neocolor II’s then I found a set of 30 for only $15.00 more! So yes I bought them! Needless to say I have used them for many projects. I f you want a traditional crayon, yes I know you said that professional crayons are so not for you but the Neocolor 1’s are not water soluble and like regular crayons. I have used both together and enjoyed them as well! Maybe you could give them a tryout and then make a decision about “professional crayons”? See ya next video.
The birth of NyanCat's derpy cousin haha, love the art
Hey Hey!! Well I use Caran D'ache pastel pencils, but this is cool that you are trying these. And ya, anything Caran D'ach is very expenseeeeeve.
Welp now I’m going to need these even tho I don’t have room for the art supplies I have now😔💪
I am from Switzerland and we use them in school (1st to 9th grade) as schoolsupplies like Crayons in the U.S 😅
Hey Kasey you gotta try out the Stabilo Woody 3 in 1 pencils, they are like the neocolors but bigger and in the shape of a pencil ^^
They are watersoluble and have a waxy texture just like the ones you used in this vid!
You could try neocolor 1 too, they are not water-soluble ;)
I’m sad. I’m gonna miss this. I loved the year of the crayon
2:09 Trying to find a match for my skin to make a self-portrait in wintertime.
hey, Kasey. Just posrting here, to say that I love your videos. Also, you could always try using those crayons over the watered ones. I bet it adds even more texture to it.
wow never thought crayons could look so sick!
omg i thought of an idea for the last video of the year of the crayon... you could do a video where you try to use every type of crayon you have and make a finished illustration with them!
Wow this throws me back to primary school we had a big box of them and sometimes we had to use them for art class ! I HATED them hahaha
Love the fact that she unintentionally almost made Nyan Cat 🐈🌈
he looks like a lighter nyan cat without the poptart costume, so cute!!!!!!!
I love these crayons. I have the Neocolor I and the II. I like the non-soluble ones better, I think the soluble ones are not as pretty once activated. They also come in metallic colors... and I'm kind of crazy about those.
Thanks for trying caran d’ache. I bought the neocolor ii at a discount and have yet to touch them 😂
I like the artwork alot! I have been trying to get into Caran`dache crayons too, but their just so expensive 😫
They are!!
Can these be layered on top of non-water soluble crayons? I’d love to see a combo of the two if you get the other carandache set!
Hi Kasey since I discovered your drawing style I love it. Can you make drawing all gen 7 or 8 Pokémon (not from memory if you can't)?
Pd: Sorry if my english is bad. My Natural lenguaje is spanish.
I can't believe that in 2021 you basically drew nyancat
Love that for you
If you really take a hard look at the dark night sky, you can see that it isn't perfectly black, it really does have a bit of color to it!
Can you check out the Arteza kids crayons?! They have regular, specialties, and gels.. Loved the video btw 🙌🏽
In Switzerland these are used in art classes in school! They ARE they’re kids crayons 😂
PLEASE DO ANOTHER DRAWING WITH THESE!!
Yep. I made a sort of rainbow.
Like the watercolor pencil, but doesn't suck 😂
Think they'd be good as a travel watercolor alternative?
I once read that charan de ache sorted the Neocolor wax crayons as a student / hobby because they enable more expressive art techniques
and somehow they also thought that wax crayons = chrafting and hobby.
But there were other thicker watercolor sticks, the NeoArt: Aquarell, which are more highly pigmented and are count as an Art medium by Caran de Ache.
At some point they thought that it would be technically better to expand the neocolor colors from 84 to 126 and also wanted to increase the quality in order to include it as an artist media,
because they saw that many artists also use it.
But then the NeoArt Sticks was thrown out because it was harder to sell,
maybe some thought that they are the same thing and are only thicker and more expensive.
I’ll probably still get these for my kid 😅
I've got some watercolour crayons (not these) that I use purely as watercolour. I really like just kind of holding the crayon and using a wet brush on it to get pretty heavy pigment. XD
We had to buy these in our first year in high school and never used them in 6 years because we were never good enough at art to use them according to the teacher. I should still have them somewhere. Luckily they are a lot cheaper in the Netherlands; €13.24 for a ten pack.
She basically made nyan cat. I love it
Sad to hear they’re not for you. Was hoping you’d make a vid with them here and there
nyan cat drawing omg
jokes aside, super cute!
Did you know that in Switzerland, theses are the crayons we get as school? Like as a normal school supplie.
She made the nyan cat without the pop tart for the body lol
