Thanks for watching! This was the craziest and most ambitious video I've ever done!
WATCH NEXT: I tested EVERY white pen! ua-cam.com/video/jRZysztWwpQ/v-deo.html
Wow that is a lot a lot lot lot... LOL
Holly jolly hollly
Maybe you can test all the water colour paints
Thank you for making this type of content. The information is so valuable. I bought the artezas based off of your colored pencil comparison last year. They are awesome!
Do you testing jolly and other brands from Austria/German?
This gives the same vibes as Jazza trying to find the best alcohol marker.
It does. Sarah isn’t showing as much of her losing her mind during the process though. 😂
Her son was so cute, offering to help out!
I mean they both are in Australia
I felt the same vibes as well
Agreed. That was the first episode I saw on Jazza’s channel. It amazed me how thorough he was. Sarah is amazing me with this test too.
Ye it does. But she wasn’t swearing
Your work ethic is so underrated because I can’t even begin to imagine how many hours you and your team put into this video! As a colouring pencil artist, it’s nice to be introduced to some new gems.
Thank you!
Here before this blows up!
@@shakond ✨
Omg hi temi I love ur vids ur art is amazing 👏
Love u temi
This is literally how I research anytime I’m trying to buy something. “What’s the best…” and then I end up with like 80 tabs of results and I have to go through them all. LOVE this vibe.
Same xD
I am somehow relieved that I am not the only one 😄
I know how that feels. I once counted over 200 open tabs. Surprised it didn't crash the computer.
Lightfastness is so important to me as I do a lot of commission artwork and I don’t want the colors fading if they end up hanging the image somewhere the sun shines often. I would love to see that test. You’re amazing!
Still a novice in my art journey and these reviews are SO helpful in deciding what to purchase. You're doing a public service, Sarah.
I agree @stevencollins5080 about your comment
*Still a novice in my art journey and these reviews are SO helpful in deciding what to purchase. You're doing a public service, Sarah.* but she in my opinion helps me with picking my art styles and very good pencils
She really bought a whole tree! ❤
I'm about half way through the video and I have to sub. Your ambition and testing/comparisons speak to me on an artist level, a scientist level, and a pen/pencil hoarder level too. I can't wait to watch all your videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
Sarah, I’m astounded by this video. I can’t imagine the money, time, and effort you needed to do this. Thank you! We all benefit from your passion for perfection and truthful reviews. I can’t wait to read the final results on your website.
What an absolute behemoth of a video! I honestly can’t comprehend how you manage to go to such lengths without getting completely overwhelmed by the process- you’re a warrior! Thank you for all the long and hard work you put into your videos ❤
Thanks Claire! I still bought some of my first pencils from YOUR recommendations ❤️
As a proud Swiss girl I always felt like the Caran d'Ache colored pencils were the best. We used to have one box of 12 given to us at school when we were kids. Since that I never stopped using them. They have quit a variety of formulas from more affordable ones to watercolor pencils, to the great Luminances. Great video, really interesting to see, huge work, well done !!! I subscribed :)
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, I've said it before. Your thoroughness is astounding! Please don't take offense, I mean this in a very loving way. I LOVE YOUR CRAZY! I personally don't need a lightfastness test but I have a feeling you're going to do it anyway!
This is as good as any product evaluation we've ever seen an artist conduct! You did an amazing job designing and executing these tests. We would love to see the lightfastness evaluations! We are so glad you mentioned the cost to manufacturers of conducting tests with special equipment to conform to ASTM D6901-15 standards for colored pencils. The Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA) has devised its own tests for artist-consumers, which are available to members, along with the organization's own results.
It's almost like you should sponsor her, isn't it.
Does Blick have an affiliate program to work with artists like her? I should apply since I often test Blick products.
Oh hey blick! Fancy seeing you here!
@@-BubblyArt- Well, hello there!
I never knew America has a colored pencil society! I love it. 😊
A priceless process for proving pencil perfection for personal or professional projects. Great work.❤
"How many words can you put in a sentence that starts with the letter "p"?"
shamroc: hold my comment.
So much p words
You are an angel!! Testing all those pencils is exhausting, and keeping this video interesting? Oh that's a whole new level. Thank you! 😍
I agree.
Yep
I know right!! ❤️
SO much work put into this video, and it's so informative for an art supply lover! Thank you so much for this. I would absolutely love to see you do lightfastness tests!
WOW....WOW....WOW!! The amount of work you put into this test is mind-blowing! THANK YOU!
I have to admit that it was both crazy and epic at the same time. And I was so happy by the fact that she enjoyed the Star-Joy Colored Pencils! I have the same brand and absolutely love them
the way i would watch 4 hour long videos of each and every single test separately 😭my nerd heart is so happy
having said that, i think you condensed the huge amount of information into this one video very smoothly and effectively, and i can only imagine how hard that was
really cool
❤
I plan on releasing some longer videos on the second channel so you can watch them for 4 hours if you really want 😜
Pencil nerds unite!
@@SarahRenaeClark YES!!!! plzzzz!!! 🤓
the effort she and her team put in every single videos is amazing
It's her work ... like she is making money!
I don't give a fuck about pencils, and it's close to midnight here, i have work tomorrow. That said, incredible job, the commitment in this video is amazing, what a great work. There is even storytelling elements inside the video... the success of the video is well deserved.
As a beginner colorist, I did some online research before buying any big sets, and your video and hard work confirmed some brands that I now decided to dedicate to it. Thank you very much! This was definitely more then helpful!! Amazing job! 👍🙏😉🤗
Perfect! I would definitely recommend using Sarah's results and what she has found out to inform and/or confirm your pencil choices. 🤗
My experience with a few of these brands backs up what Sarah has found in this video and in her other reviews.
Happy art-making! 😊
@@jennyb-aeternabitart7436 Thank you very much! Happy art-making aswell !☺
I’m a beginner too. This video confirms my own research. I bought the single pencils of a variety of brands, found the same results. Thanks Sarah!! 28:30
Faced with such a task, I think I would cry. I’d be too overwhelmed. Thank you, Sarah, for taking on this pencil comparison and presenting it in a way that I can digest it easily. I appreciate your dedication to giving us information we can use to make better choices in art supplies. And I personally think you need the set of 100 Derwent Lightfast pencils. I keep eyeing that set myself. 😁
Definitely get the purples and dark greens and the super pale blues. I’m in love with them and use them all the time. I was perfectly happy with a combination of Caren dache and polychromos, but lightfast have something to offer on top, so now I use all three. What a shame!
I have learned though, not to buy full sets. I never use all the colours. Now I get a handful, and if I like them I get the colours I typically use. I won’t buy full sets again, it’s actually not cost effective for me even if the cost per pencil looks good on paper.
Id LOVE to see you try out watercolor colored pencils! By far my favorite art supplies. 😌❤️
Thanks so much for making this video! What a journey this must have been. I’ve been doing my own personal pencil tests on just 5 or 6 brands for the last month trying to figure out which use in what ways (like on top of watercolor) and which to buy a set of. Your results affirmed I’m on the right track and though the brands I chose paid for lightfast testing (and its part of why I chose them in the first place), I’d love to know more about the lightfastness of some of the other brands. Thanks again for embarking on this enormous undertaking.
I bought a few Caran D'Ache Luminance pencils as open stock and honestly they are so beautiful to use. I'm on a bit of a budget but getting a few of these every so often will help me build my collection!
This is a true all-in experience. So many brands, I knew that nowadays we have a lot to choose from, but this is massive! I can’t imagine the money, time, and effort you needed to do this.Thank you so-so much!
I have been doing colored pencil art since October 2018 and eventually landed on caran d'ache pablo as my most commonly used pencil, so im happy to see it was in the top 5. I found that it is well rounded, working for most colored pencil techniques and cheaper than some of the priciest pencils (like luminance).
What a wonderful pencil comparison. I was deciding to go with the Caran d'Ache Luminance or the Lyra Rembrandt and you found the Caran d'Ache to blend a bit better than the Lyra... Thanks for all the hard work. I think you did very well putting these pencils to the test.
I can't wait for your lightfastness tests! I am so curious how well budget pencils hold up!! Thanks for the video 🥰
Oh great she's doing that? I haven't watched the video yet!

This is INSANE. 😮😵💫🙀‼️ I have absolutely no experience with actually good colored pencils but I saw what's possible with them and totally wanna draw with those too, tho it can be sooo hard to find some great ones for yourself. Thank you SOOO much for making this video!!!!
I honestly really enjoy using my Brutfuner pencils pencils for doing some anti-stress coloring book stuff. They sharpened really well for me and so far have been lasting me a really long time. I've been able to blend them really nicely as well with blender pencils or burnishers. I have had a lot of fun doing pastel goth coloring books with their macaroon pencils as well. They were given to me as Xmas gifts the last two years and I've honestly had a lot of fun with them for non-professional coloring.
Thanks for putting all this effort into this video! I will definitely be using this video as a reference! I also love how you keep things so real and show all the issues and problems behind the scenes!
A wonderful contribution to the colored pencil art community! Thank you for all your efforts testing these pencils 😃
amazing work!!! thanks for taking the time for testing every type :D
Star Joy golds are awesome and they have awesome skin colors for anyone who likes to draw portraits. But the original Star Joys were even better if you can find em being resold you should grab em. And also the Schpirrer Farben and Markart/Nyoni are top picks of mine personally. I also recommend Colleen pencils for a softer Prismacolors feel. I know a lot of people think Brutfuner Squares are Gods budget gift to the world… they’re alright. Prismacolors, Luminance, Polychromos, Pablo’s and Arteza are all worth the price. Just buy 1 or 2 sets of those rather than 10 sets of budgets. You’ll get much nicer looking work.
Hi Sarah! I just wanted to say I love your channel so much! You're incredibly inspiring and I've learned so much from your videos! Thank you for all your time and dedication :)
I agree
👍
Thank you!
Ohh Sarah IS #1.. Best colored pencil, markers, etc in coloring making art Above All the Rest.. I mean they are great.. their own ways.. you just Bring more. I could watch you and Laugh on a rough day..Thank You..😁🙏🤟
OMG! That was amazing so thank you so much for the amount of work, hours and patience that obviously took. I think that you have managed to enable us to carefully assess our purchases rather than waste our money on a whim! It is so easy to be taken in by the descriptions of how "brilliant" a product is by the descriptions a manufacturer puts on their website but really, to see a pencil being used and its' performance on film.....so impressive and so badly needed too! Really grateful to you 🥰
This was very cool to watch! Oh my, I wouldn't know what to do if I had that many color pencils except use them.
Very informative video, I learned alot, thank you for taking your time to test these pencils, I usually use prismacolor premier but its nice to know what other brands are worth to buy too.😊
I like blending with pastel pencils. I don’t know why but its so satisfying!! 😌
O.M.G. this is insane! You're insane! I LOVE IT! 😍😍😍 Some points I'd like to raise...
1. That thumbnail is epic! When they eventually do your Disney movie, they have to recreate this 🥰
2. Yay for Holbein and Windsor& Newton!! 💃🏽🎉
3. I got my colour cubes and I'm loving them! (I've been wanting to tell you 😁)
4. Thank you for doing these crazy but highly informative tests! So useful! So satisfying to watch!
5. In behalf of society, I'd like to thank you for focusing your OC superpowers on colours and art rather than, say, I dunno... Serial killing or collecting coins from wishing wells...🐈
Haha! Love this comment
@@SarahRenaeClark 😹💝
Brilliant comment!
Also, a round of applause for Sarah for doing the seemingly impossible! You are a beast!
Very cool and appreciated. I am getting 'back into' colored pencils. I have tried many of the brands you listed. I find Prismacolor Premier the most versatile for the price. I will say I love Derwent Lightfast for the feel of it on the paper. Caran is great but I like Derwent better for the way it moves and layers. Most artists have a preference for their work. I want to try a few of the others just because I like to try new things. Sometimes lower priced products are surprising. (And I also get them so family and friends leave my good art supplies alone lol). Thank you for this video and not having music in the background! lol
Wow Sarah, you definitely go that extra mile!!! It is a treat every time you post a video.
Yes, please, a lightfastness test video, hoorray! Thank you for all the fun you share 🌷
That is a lot of pencils! Super helpful to see the pencils performance especially by budget. I've just taken advantage of Black Friday deals and got a great price on 120 Polychromos and 100 Lightfast for my art stuff, I have Chromaflow for my fun projects and colouring books and I still have my Crayola which was my staple for a long time that I think I'll keep for nostalgia and just doodles now I have invested in other pencils. When deciding on the Derwent ranges, I actually brought one of each pencil for the different lines in the same/similar colour to see how they handled, and I actually found a couple that didn't feel nice to hold, I've learned I like smaller and smooth pencil barrel.
I truly don't know how you did all of this but thank you! I have really wanted to get into colored pencils and this is really helpful!
I use my Luminance and Lightfast together and they play really nicely together. Also gives you a great range of colors. The luminance have the slight advantage for me, but I can't quite put my finger on exactly why lol
omg the effort in this!! Wow! Thank you so much!! So i have some polychromos, but in India Derwent is very easily available, so I have a set of 72 lightfast which I got for around a 100 Dollars, which I understand is a great deal for these pencils! So I am so happy to hear that they compare to the luminance!
This was MADNESS in the absolute best way! I loved every second! Thanks for doing this insane amount of work so we don't have to, this video was soo informative. I honestly don't know how you do it, you always go above and beyond (and beyond that!), it's amazing
This is the first video I've seen from your channel and it made me subscribe. It's so in depth and inclusive. You explain pretty much everything I wanted to know. I love the lists you made per category, and all the things you considered. Is there videos showing your in depth testing of the two winners? I already have a 72 piece collection of derwent inktense, so I'm leaning towards derwent for my non-watercolour pencils as well, but I would love to see the tests fully for the two you thought were best and compare them side by side.
There’s a more in-depth summary of each pencil I tested on the website linked in the description. 😊
@@SarahRenaeClark great thank you! I'll be reading tonight as I've seen the huge black friday sale derwent is having!
Sarah thank you for all the hard work you do! Greatly appreciate all you do! ♥️😊
this is just perfect! I would love to see the best sets compared including lightfastness ratings. As a book restorer and colouring book lover, I am looking for the perfect set, but it has to be lightfast.
My mom and I go nuts on every colored pencil on the local bookstore but were always unsure what to get and try out... this narrowed all of it down. Thanks so much !! 💕
Let’s all appreciate sarah is hard work , I love you so much and we appreciate you so much ❤😊
Wow! Thanks so much for doing this! What a lot of work! As a colored pencil artist myself, I’d love lightfast info on them all. I know that’s a big ask but it probably one of the most important pencil traits for those of us who want to make art that will last. Thanks again! Just seeing all those pencils made me so excited! I have the Caran d'Ache Luminance as well as Prismacolor and Holbeins (plus other brands I use less often) but have been wondering about the Derwent Lightfast. A test on those would be handy to have…you ca never have too many pencils, right?! Lol! 😉
She deserves 1m subs doesn't she ??
this is so much work! thank you!
Hey Sarah! I am a proud owner of the Derwent light-fast complete collection, prismacolor premier, Lyra Rembrandt polycolor and Faber Castell polychromos. Of them all I absolutely love the Derwent light-fast. They feel good on the hand and layer exceptional well. It so has really extensive collection of greens that work very well for the botanic art that I focus in
Hey, may i ask you something? So in my country Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor are 2x the price of Polychromos, i only have 24 set of prismacolor right now, should i buy 72 set of Lyra Polycolor or 36 set of Polychromos? Thanks
@@mkrmaa472 I prefer the polychromos to the Lyra Rembrandts. Both have an oily feel to it but I feel that the polychromos layer better.
@@omsa89 the thing is i can only buy the 36 set of poly, while i can buy the 72 set of rembrandts. Thanks for the answer anyway
@@mkrmaa472 polychromos are expensive but they last forever, their core is harder than the Lyra Rembrandts.
This is crazy! 😮😮 the video quality, the expenses, and the accuracy of the testing is just AMAZING! Thank for taking your time to help us out ❤❤❤
As a newbie - Black Widows work great for burnishing + blending + color range and the Brutfuner square is still the best value, hands-down. I have a very hard grip though so that affects things.
Also a special nod to Kalour 280 - they aren't the best, but for the price, the number of colors you get can help with different shades without relying too heavily on layers and blends.
I have the full sets of Polychromos and Derwent Lightfast and for my needs as an illustrator they compliment each other well, the lightfast have the interesting shade and darker tones and the Polychromos has the punchy brights, I have a couple of open stock luminance pencils and yep I’m really wanting the full set of those too. For a beginner, the Polychromos is my recommendation for versatility and colour selection
hi Sarah love you and your videos so much, i just started to draw and color coloring books, never knew how relaxing this could be and how it could help me to express myself in all the creative ways that i was placing on hold, thank you for having my favorite youtube channel!!!!
Sarah, you are a rock star for real! Not only have I been enjoying my color blocks purchases (Super Awesome) 😉, you take time out of your life to bring us such an informative video on colored pencils. I could have used this video a few years ago when I first started getting into my art journey, but this video is right on time! THANK YOU for always looking out for the creative-types community. You do not get paid enough for all you do! 🙄🙄😏😏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Very interesting review - I'd love to see the more in-depth videos for all the different tests you did.
For the pencils I use, both professionally and in my hobby-time, I agree with what you've found. It is also reassuring to see that the pencils I have given to other people are pretty good too! 😊
I would add to be cautious if you want to display anything coloured with LYRA Rembrandt. Because I couldn't find any independent lightfast test information on the CURRENT set, I made swatches and put them in my window this Spring. NE facing, a little north of London.
Within 3 months, 20 had faded significantly (some completely lost all colour) and about half of the others were looking not-quite-as-they-were. Those have now (after around 6 months) also faded significantly.
The good news is that the colours that were good at 3 months have remained good.
AND one of the blues has the going-greener effect which would make for a beautiful sea colour. It changed after around 12 days, and changes back after a couple of weeks in the dark. 😊
Basically, if you want to colour in a book and then close the book LYRA Rembrandt are awesome. I thoroughly recommend them.
But if you want to hang the picture on your wall, either be okay with it fading fast or use a much smaller subset of the colours.
(Or you could mount it behind UV protective glass. 🤷♀️ But if I'm going to pay that much to create pictures then I'd prefer to spend the money on Lightfast and Luminance pencils!😊)
Lightfast vs Luminance really depends on the paper you are using and the effect you are after.
I have just finished an owl on Clairefontaine Pastelmat and used both for their different effects.
Luminance can be blended then rubbed smooth and buffed to a shine. In this case, a beautiful shiny purple might sky.
Lightfast will layer and layer in many small strokes and they will remain visibly separate strokes rather than colour-blending together; all one, cohesive unit, but with a lovely soft texture overall. This was perfect for the owl's feathers.
That said, I could have achieved both effects with either pencil. It was just easier to use the different sets to get the two effects.
On smooth watercolour paper, again the effects are more-easily-achieved with one or the other. But they are both brilliant as standalone sets, and can both create all the effects I want.
Generally, I use them both together - because then I have more nuances of colour to play with and mix! 😊
I love seeing these tests. I never knew there was so much variety in coloured pencils. Seeing the colours is so satisfying.
WOW! Fantastic video. That was a lot of work. Thanks.
I definitely took a lot more than 28:30 minutes watching this video. I kept pausing to read the screen, and also took a ton of screenshots.
Can't wait for the detailed results on the website. 😂
Sarah..I could never!! This is wild! I can imagine how long this took not only to test but also to film and edit. Goodness gracious. The tier lists💀oof that’s a good idea! I’m sorry I still can’t even believe that this video exists! Time for your 1mil subscribers at this point!❤
Oh my gosh! You're brave. Love the coloured pencil backdrop - and I love that you're as meticulous, thorough and maniacal as me! (I believe I may have tried most of these brands - but not in any kind of organized way, lol!)
will watch this again at half speed ... and again. I love colored pencils and your work with them is a joy to watch! Oh, and I do wish Derwent would send you a full set of Lightfast pencils! I love my Luminance, would be interesting to hear your opinion on the Lightfast full color range, how they work compared to, and along with the Luminance. Having 200 lightfast colors to pick from ... wouldn't that be nice?
amazing commitment on your part! i thank you in behalf of everyone who has ever put coloured pencil to paper ;)
i loved the wonderful colourfully arranged pencil shots and your mosaic rainbow page 28:28, great stuff!
This may not be the most scientific but it's definitely the most helpful and in-depth review of multiple brands I've seen in a while and you manage to make the technical explanations simple and easy to understand (and fun too!)
Great video! I have had a full set of Luminance for many years and recently treated myself to 70+ Lightfast as I tried a couple of open stock and was impressed as they are oil based (with the Luminance being wax). Glad I worked out the worlds best pencils without having to buy quite so many..!
You should definitely get a full Lightfast set and I would suggest that for the pencils which you don't use, donating them to a school etc.
Great video! I bought Caran D‘ache pencils few days ago and they are sooooo amazing!!!
The amount of effort that you put into this is 🤯
You're mad woman! You've become the Mr.Beast of art supplies. Fantastic video. I hope it came out the way your team wanted it to. :D
I don't really use colored pencils but I had to watch this when I saw it suggested by YT because I love knowing the best art supplies AND to support a creator who went through this much trouble and money to do this. I am highly impressed with your dedication.
I bought the full 72 Derwent Chromaflow set (Direct from Derwent) as soon as it came out as I had already tried out the earlier 12 set (with a parrot looking to my right) and I was impressed. There was one slight problem in that a small number of the pencils had multiple breaks in the leads (Derwent sent replacements). Derwent also did an offer to celebrate the Queen's 70th jubilee and I was able to buy the 72 set of lightfast for half price.
While both pencils are really nice to use, I don't actually prefer one to the other. There is a bit of difference on how they feel in use and there are some days when I just use the Chromaflow, some days the Lightfast and some days I use both (it depends on my mood).
From all your hard work Sarah, it's good to see that I haven't wasted my money.
I would love to see your take on a lightfastness test. You are so thorough. You are (I think) honest with your opinions and results. Honestly, I love my Prismacolor Premiere pencils. They were a gift - I could never afford them - from a friend a few years ago. I know there are pencils that do some things better but I am grateful for the 102 colors that I have. I don't know how you have room for the 1000's of pencils you now own. LOL 🙂✏🎨
Answer: I don’t!
Thankyou Sarah for all the time and effort you have put into showing us all the best colouring pencils.
A job well done.
💖🌹🙂🙋♀️
This is an amazing job ! thank you so much
This was epic and nuts! What a task you set yourself and well done on completing it!
I was utterly mind blown by this video! Incredible effort and super interesting results!
I definitely want to see a video on lightfastness! I have gotten back into drawing traditionally, and I want to make art that lasts, especially if I sell it. I have started learning to color with acrylic ink as the base flat color, since it is permanent with good lightfastness, and adding details on top with prismacolor premier pencils.
I bought the pencils after watching your videos! Thank you so much for helping me pick the right ones, I love them so much! I didn't have trouble adjusting to using them either, it was almost magical how they just worked so easily and beautifully.
I'm really curious how well colored pencils last over time. As for acrylic ink, I accidentally spilled some teal Amsterdam acrylic ink on our cement porch back in August 2019, and through the blazing sun, rain, and snow, it hasn't faded, it's just been scraped off from wear so there's not much left. But what's left is super vibrant! I'm still amazed!
I love her! ❤❤❤ thanks for the time you put in this channel!❤❤
Finally someone that’s an Australian! Love this video!😊
Thank you so much to all of you for putting in so many hours upon hours of time into creating such a valuable and useful comparison from multiple angles and budgets! 💚✨
This was a wild, wide ride! I applaud you for this effort, it was an astonishing amount of work to condense in a single video.
Sharing your impressions is immensely valuable for any artist looking to make an informed purchase. Both hobbyists AND professionals can find something in here! I don't use coloured pencils at all in my current work, but I now know which pencils to invest in, should I ever require a set.
I'm especially looking forward to the lightfastness tests!
Sarah you give me so much inspiration thankyou❤️
I loved your video, super interesting to know about the curiosities of colored pencils.
You're so crazy girl I can't even imagine to do this kind of things, this is insane 🤯90 brands and 4000 pencils look so pretty colours 😍
Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful colored pencil review. This video can definitely apply for Guinness world record!!🤩
I really needed a video like this in art school. Very cool
The effort put into this video... Thank you.
I don't know how your video got into my recommendations, considering how I'm very bad at drawing and coloring and know next to nothing about them, but this is SO satisfying to watch. You earned a new subscriber!
We have been sent by Scott
Thanks for testing these pencils . I will go ahead with your recommendations
In my opinion the prismacolor premier, the caran d' ache luminance 6901 and the Derwent lightfast certainly work the best!
Thank you so much for your incredible hard work on this project! Truly mindblowing what you've achieved here. Very grateful!
