Beautiful work Bec, I am a beginner and certainly no expert but I think the drawing pencils are waxed based and polychromos are oil based and that’s why they won’t work together.

I am yearning toward these pencils, but I want to know there's a really good reason to add them. I love your videos, commentary and art work both, and I have very greatly enjoyed and learned from checking out the Derwent pencil performance the way you have rolled it out. Subscribing. Thanks!

Un gra trabajo me encanta

Still waiting for my karlbox

This is lovely. Thank you

lovely work, great learning

Thankyou, you answered all my questions about pastelmat and watercolour pencils. Stunning picture😊

Thanks <3 💅 u slayed this vid 💅 💅

My set arrives tonight and I can't wait to use them 😄

Beautiful

Because, you haven’t been around for over a year. I hope all is well with you, and that you come back.

Thank you so much for all of your videos. They are so helpfull for me!! ❤

Hi Bec! I was scouring TH-cam for tips as I'm trying to get started in coloured pencil art and stumbled upon this really useful video. Then I spotted your lovely Crimson Chat piece I recall seeing ages ago, I realised it was the same Bec I birded with a few times years ago! Thanks so much for the content, I'm sure I'll find it all very useful as I get started in all of this! Love your art!!!

😍

I believe the Conte website might have the lightfastness ratings. I really like these pencils!

Glad I saw this video; thank you for the review, but I would never buy it. I need a new lamp for my drawing board as I do architectural illustrations. This would never work because it is just not tall enough. The light I have is about about 30 years old. This lamp would never last one-tenth of that. The nice thing about the light I have is that it's a combination of incandescent and fluorescent so it's a very near natural light. It has a long adjustable neck but after many years the adjustments have weakened and it won't hold its position very well. I guess I will have to keep looking.

😮❤that is beautiful

the problem is that these natural colours are totally insufficient even for a single animal portrait in its environment. you can hardly reproduce the colour of a cat yellow eyes or a owl eyes. They are meant for just reproducing some furs OR for remapping true colours into a muted version. I own this set because I was enthusiast of their peculiar muted autumnal colours but at the end if they don't add some vivid key colours are useless to me. I don't want to use two sets of pencils with different binders as many do for integrating the missing colours of this

Excellent love your style, loose and detail fusion

thank you for this demnostration. Let me give you the advise to NEVER use an automatic exposure settings AND whitebalance on your camera especially for the kind of video you make. Derwent has some absurd marketing policies: they basically made not a set of colour for natural pictures but a set of colour for AUTUMNAL pictures. Aside from the obvious difficoulty at drawing details with wax based pencils they absurdly didn't add 4 more colours with a cold light green - typically called "leaf" green in Faber Castell set - or "pea" green, a full yellow, an orange or a poppy red and a deep blue. just 4-5 colours that would make drawing set complete. I don't want a set that requires to borrow colours from other set for doing any images: ok I can maybe draw maybe a fox with exactly its fur colours... and what about the whole environment around it? I don't have any doubt that Drawing set is not ment to be used for details or compete with polychromos. Probably it would be more meaningful comparing them with Prismacolor set that is wax based too

Simply gorgeous!❤

This is a great coloring, the water does look real! Thank you for sharing!!

I’m going to try this. It looks like fun. Can I use a hairdryer to speed up drying time?.

Somalis r the prettiest cats in the world

Most pencils I have are FC Polychromos but I also have some Derwent (lightfast). Compared to the Derwent I find the Polychromo's a bit more garish..Depending on the kind of artwork you produce this is either something you like to look for or not. I would recommend 'Lightfast' ( also love these 'Drawing') in landscape over 'Polychromo's' but when you prefere you art to have bright colors, the other way around. I think they both have their superb quality depending to what you look for..

I love the paper but find it almost impossible to get a background. How would you do a background? Thantks super video, although a bit too dast.

Hi would like to know which colours-names you used each step, would be wonderful if you could slow the video down a bit too..learning to do water with pencils would be so helpful

Beautiful!

Just bought the set of 100, around the same price as the Caran de arche luminance, both are great to use.

6:08 I found that dipping the brush pens directly into a cup of water for a moment worked quite well to keep the colours vibrant and it helps make them less dull.

Is it impregnated paper/surface ?

Bec I’m using the same materials but struggling with highlighting with a white pencil over the top of a darker colour on the dog I’m drawing.. ie doing whiskers etc …it just won’t show up.. do I just need to lay down the whites first?! Seems too waxy to go over Hope that makes sense?

Nice and informative video! As for the dryness of your watercolor brush pens, I got a 12 pack from Kmart and they seem to work really well when the tips are dipped directly into the water. I just do it gently so that the pigment doesn’t wash off the brush. Not sure if that would apply to your brush pens too? Is there anything on the packaging if you still have it?

Your channel is rich and colorful! It's amazing! Browsing your video is like going back to school again! Let me learn a lot! thank you for your sharing!

I have no idea how people use Pastelmat for coloured pencils 🤷‍♀️ I've tried it a few times, it gets shiny (not in a good way) and grainy very quickly. Pan pastel clogs the paper a lot and prevents me from adding pastel pencils, let alone coloured pencil. I do not understand how people do it 🤷‍♀️ UArt and Lux Archival work beautifully. They practically turn the CP into pastels.

Likes 596.you color so beautiful. Excellent blending. You are very talented artist. Great success for you my friend ❤💖💕🤩😊👍🎁

Great video.

I know exactly how it works with a parrot in the background. We have a male Eclectus who always wants to chime in! I know you have plenty of those down there and would love it if you would draw one. I have always wanted to draw him, but I've been terrified of all those feathers.

A nice demonstration of these colored pencils.On looking at your piece of work here is I a finished piece or you going to fill in the background..I tend to have a problem with filling in the background...just wondering ? A nice piece of work regardless.

And I just love your circles. 😊

I just ordered these cause im a professional artist I’m so excited

Nice

Hi Bec. What were the red colours you used on the beak please. 👍❤️

Super! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to getting these pencils!

Really lovely drawing. Very helpful information.👍

I really enjoyed this video

Thanks Bec, that was really helpful…. I bought one of these pads online and was a bit stumped about the texture and which side to use 😊

You use them together on a drawing? I know I mix things all the time, but I’m still learning.

You're better every day! 😃
