CONGRATULATIONS Becky!! Thank you for wonderful videos, I look forward to them every week, they inspire, and help my art supply addiction. Cheers from the West
I love how the dragon turned out! So beautiful. I hear a lot of talk about this set and I was curious! It definitely seems to be a supplementary set, but it looks like it comes with some very unique and pretty colors. I like how all the sets come together too. That would be fun to see them all swatched out!
Great video!! I have multiple of that mythomorphia book...So a few years ago I was so obsessed with it- that every time I came across one in a store I bought it...And now I have one to color in and another to use as an outline to transfer on watercolor or marker paper, I also have one that friends or someone else can color in, if we are having a color date and the rest are backups...lol yea Im embarrassed about how obsessive I can get. Anyway so fun seeing you color in it!! Thanks for sharing. Much love❤
Don’t be embarrassed, a lot of us are just art supply h̶o̶a̶r̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ collectors rather than users of the products we buy.... but we do have fully stocked craftrooms! 😂😂😂
I have that obsession too-I have bought two each of the colouring books I have-( J Basford (?) forest and castle ones) one to colour in and another as a spare just to be able to use the patterns on other projects….
I’ve always wondered about this brand of pencils (as well as the castle pencils). They look pretty cool. I would love to see swatches of the other packs.
200 th wow thank you lock down.....Although I do like going on holiday with you as well lol..... Awesome result.....I have the prismacolors and I haven't had much of an issue with them . I am careful to buy the what is considered light fast ones and will be doing a window test along with my other pencils...The best thing about prismacolos are the painterly effects you can achieve with them. Closet thing to an oil painting with a pencil I can get...I think they are underated really...Love your dragon and love the review I saw them at the art shop and wondered about them. Cheers.
Wow! What a dragon you made! I just bought this set ( being a maker of dragons I could not just pass a set of pencils with dragons on…) and decided to see some yt reviews and your dragon was far the best! I really like how you made him standbout w the black background-very well done👍🐉
Hi Becky, I have all the sets except for the skintones as I don't do people but they are beautiful pencils and the tins are stunning. They are on amazon UK £17 , they fell in my basket oops lol thanks for the review or I wouldn't have known about them. Fabulous colouring
Congrats with video no. 200. I am locked out of my studio for at least a week, because of 2 factor authentication bs.... So I have to just binge on yours and others videos. :D
Wonderful swatching session, I particularly enjoyed the dramatic D&D music that accompanied the speed coloring, so fun :) Looked great with the India ink background! Thanks for sharing.
Hello. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for swatching the colors. I was on the fence on whether to buy this set of pencils.
First time commenting after a long time looking...this is great! I love your reviews because they help me with decisions on whether I want to try something out ...and the spread looked so beautiful at the end 💖 from a friend down in Tassie 😊
@@BeckyTregear That's so awesome! Yellows and oranges are my favorite colors to use. I just got the BW monarch collection. My first BW Pencils. They have exceeded my expectations. I will definitely get the dragon set eventually. 😁❤️
Thank you for the review. The dragon turned out beautiful! Do those pencils layer and blend well? I would love to see these compared to the Castle Arts pencils.
Thank you - yes they do pretty well at layering and blending. They're slightly waxy but I haven't had any issues with them, at least for colouring in purposes! They behave quite a lot like Prismacolor Premier pencils. I don't have the Castle Arts pencils, sadly!
Black widow are indeed an Australian company. And yes the spider was originally was a red back. The pencils are manufactured in China but designed in Australia. They were originally designed to be a cheap bright set of pencils for people who have mental health issues to be able afford for colouring in. As such they will probably never have lightfast ratings as that adds significantly to the cost. They will sell you individual colours if you email them. Most of the info is on their Facebook page.
Aha, I knew it was a redback! 😂 I need to re-read their Facebook page, bu I can attest that the pencils are really great for colouring in, and the entire colour palette is growing into epic proportions!
I wonder, that beautiful dragon you colored from this book, I see one playing card there in the upper left at his wing. A reference to the Jabberwocky dragon from Alice in Wonderland!?
I would deb willing to send the blick pencils to you maybe you can get something I can’t get here in th USA we can do a trade off let me know if that interests yiu
Thank you so much, sorry for the delay in my reply as it didn't notify me for some reason and I just found a bunch of unread messages, wahhh! I will see how I go next year - after Christmas I am somewhat overloaded with art supplies, lol!
I've just realised this is my 200th video! I can't believe I've made so many, haha!
WOW!! Congratulations Becky!!! I really enjoyed this one, too!! Thank-you for always posting interesting videos for us!! 🤗🤗🤗❤❤
That’s awesome! Congrats 🎉
You're a content-generating dynamo!
Oh wow!! That’s awesome, you’ve put so much work into this channel and it shows!!💙
CONGRATULATIONS Becky!! Thank you for wonderful videos, I look forward to them every week, they inspire, and help my art supply addiction. Cheers from the West
Yes, i would like to see the other black widows sets in action and together too have an idea of the colors selection.
Congrats on the 200 vids!
Congrats on episode # 200!
I always enjoy your videos. I love what you did with the dragon. The black background made the colors pop.
Thank you! I am glad I inked the background too. 😊
Those green and yellows together are 🔥 🔥 🔥 so vibrant! Love your end result with the dragon, very nice!
Thank you! I was wondering for a while if it was going to turn out ok, but happily the colours in the set work well together. 😊

It really is a fabulous book though...possibly his best? Imagimorphia is also great. 💜

I haven't tried the Castle pencils either, but I can definitely swatch out the other Black Widows! 😆
I don't recall ever seeing this brand before? Yes, I basically live under a rock.
Haha! I guess the first tins came out maybe 4-5 years ago? Since then there have been a few more releases; I will no doubt show them all over time. 😊

Thank you so much! I do love a good dragon - making them sounds like so much fun! 🐲
Nice to hear a review from a fellow Aussie.
I have all the others, plan to get the dragon set.
Thanks for the info
I still need to review all of the others, haha! I am so far behind it's ridiculous, but one day I will get to them. 😆
Fabulous coloring on the dragon page! I'm really enjoying your videos.
Thank you! 😊
This is beautiful !💕you colour very well . I'm buying some of these .thanks for the great review
Thank you! ❤️
Hi Becky, I have all the sets except for the skintones as I don't do people but they are beautiful pencils and the tins are stunning. They are on amazon UK £17 , they fell in my basket oops lol thanks for the review or I wouldn't have known about them. Fabulous colouring
"Fell in", haha! I do enjoy these sets though, and they're very well priced too! 💜
Don't worry; there is very little to do with 'skin' in the skin tones boxes...
Congrats with video no. 200. I am locked out of my studio for at least a week, because of 2 factor authentication bs.... So I have to just binge on yours and others videos. :D
Thank you, and oh that's super annoying! I hope the problem gets fixed soon.
Id love a list of what colors you used where. Your page looks great. Congrats on your 200th video.
I, erm, might not have paid attention as to which colours I used.....🙈
Stunning picture, Becky! Those pencils look creamy and dreamy, lol.
Thank you! They're really nice pencils; I have used the older sets a lot...some of my pencils are getting down to stubs, haha.
Stunning picture Becky - I struggle with colouring books as I never how to start!
Thank you! Choosing the first page to do is always the hardest! At least I had narrowed it down to "dragon", lol.
Wonderful swatching session, I particularly enjoyed the dramatic D&D music that accompanied the speed coloring, so fun :) Looked great with the India ink background! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
I really like the color palette you chose, and I like your style of coloring. Glad I found your channel. I am a very active colorist.🙂
Thank you! I really do love colouring so I try to include them regularly on my channel, in amongst my art videos. It's really an art form in itself!
The black background - excellent choice! My set will be here on 12/15.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your pencils when they arrive!
Love your dragon! I got my dragon set too. Can't wait to try them out.
I hope you like them too! 😊💜
Gorgeous coloring 😍 love it
Thank you 😊💗

The dragon set has great yellows and oranges.
It does; they all blend really well together too. 💜
@@BeckyTregear That's so awesome! Yellows and oranges are my favorite colors to use. I just got the BW monarch collection. My first BW Pencils. They have exceeded my expectations. I will definitely get the dragon set eventually. 😁❤️
@@mignonalverson655 I still have yet to review the Monarch tin, which I have hiding in a drawer, lol,
@@BeckyTregear lol. They're very nice pencils.
Please do swatch them all on a video Becky , that would be wonderful, I love to wat your videos

Quite possibly! I know in this book that there are lots of little pictures scattered about, with a list of things to "find", in the index.
@@BeckyTregear How fun! It is on my wish list!
I would deb willing to send the blick pencils to you maybe you can get something I can’t get here in th USA we can do a trade off let me know if that interests yiu
Thank you so much, sorry for the delay in my reply as it didn't notify me for some reason and I just found a bunch of unread messages, wahhh! I will see how I go next year - after Christmas I am somewhat overloaded with art supplies, lol!

I’ll be back
