I will be away for a couple of weeks now, enjoying Comic Con and a little rest. I can not wait to get back!!!

I will apologize for this video also, I am VERY pressed for time, so some corners were cut and things left out. I just wanted to ensure you had a video before we left.
I'll make it up
It’s fine Anthony the video was great I loved it. I have a suggestion, I want to see you try out the chameleon markers. You don’t have to if you don’t want to just a suggestion. Anyway keep doing what you doing. More power to you 😁👍
double the price you get double the fun, polychromos is the best pencil for details and botanical drawing, also lightfast, not the best for portraits compares to wax based pencils.
I am not worthy of them but their price was not that high to have the total 120 pencils less than 200$ . I would love to see you play with their watercolor pencils.

It's a bit funny how your cutting corners still makes for an amazing video, one way better than any of my own videos. :) Cutting corners or not, still loved it! Hope you enjoy your Comic Con time and resting. Looking forward to your return.
In the future,, can you do your art work with spray paint?
Hey ADC, have you ever thought about doing a “Draw my life” video? I heard in a livestream that you used to do street fighting, I think? That’s so cool and would love to know more about your life if you would be comfortable with sharing! Loved the video :)
Like this so he sees it!
I agree, that'd be so interesting but also personal.
I agree
that would be cool
Agree
I’m so glad you did this video because I have the 36 tin of polychromous and haven’t used them for anything but swatching. Seeing them in action and what they can do (especially in professional hands) inspires me to actually put them through their paces at some point. Great video and beautiful piece!
In my experience it only needs one starting point to get them out and use. A small picture, postcard size the best. Just your favorite subject and it goes by itself after that. Nothing very complicated at first. Comfort art if you will. Every art supply is wasted when not used.
@@katalinelo8011 I completely agree. I would get anxiety before creating something and couldn’t understand why I was getting like that. Then one day I picked them up and just went for it because I was tired of my expensive pencils just being decoration. I started and it just took on a life of its own after that.😀
I used Faber-Castell at school as well, and will always have a special place in my heart for the cheap (well priced) set. But if you’re looking to take your art to the next level then quality supplies always make things easier. You’re not fighting with your tools in any way, they just work and you can focus solely on honing your skills.
The thing i love about these videos is they give a good showcase of both products. If you can only afford the cheaper, its really helpful to be able to see the comparison so you know what level of art is still achievable. When using cheaper art supplies, its really helpful to know their limitations.
I’ve had the whole Polychromos range for a few years now and can say they’re worth it. Waterproof for mixed media, and they blend like a dream. I’ve only had to replace my most used colors once in 3 years’ solid use. If a person can afford them, I highly recommend this brand. They work well with my Prismacolor and Derwent pencils too!
Tbh - I was supriced how well the cheap ones looked and survived. Thank you for making this! (Now I don't have to feel bad for buying cheaper set for a child. Or spending the double for a hobbyist.)
Both sides are fab 😊 polychromos are my favourite pencils they just continue to layer and layer 💕
Loved this comparison, big fan of Faber Castell so it was nice to see two tiers of their art supplies and have them pitted against each other. Also, awesome artwork, so excited for the new Thor movie.
I know a lot of people enjoy polychromos but sadly they aren't my thing. I like the wax based ones more since they tend to just lay down brighter over markers. And I actually really like the graininess of them. There's something about that texture that just is incredibly appealing to me.
I think it depends on your style. I love multiple light layers building up drawings that glow so I love polychromos. But that doesn't mean they are the best choice for everyone. Finding what works for you is one of the funnest things about art.
That's the beauty of art though, isn't it? Finding the tools that work well for you and your style, despite what others praise as "the best" =)
All colored pencils are both oil and wax. Polychromos are substantially softer than some pencils that people call "wax based," which is a term that's gained use with the rise in popularity of adult coloring. It's not a term that's used in professional art. But in the end it just comes down to what works best for you.
The close ups of when you are drawing and coloring are so awesome! I love that because it shows how precise and nuanced the process is, with layering and soft blending. It's incredible to watch.
Both sides look worth it to me. Love both works. Would love to see a comparison of Arteza Expert series vs Castle Arts Gold color pencils.
High-quality colored pencils also made a big difference for me, as someone with tendonitis-- polychromos go on easier, therefore take less pressure, therefore less pain for my poor thumb/wrist. Plus, as you said, it's a waaay nicer experience. No more Crayola for me!
You have proven that s true artist can make beautiful art with any product in hand because you understand art fundamentals and know how to make the products work for you. Your skills are BOSS leve and VERY inspiring!! Well done!!! Thank you for all your hard work!
I definitely enjoy the expensive colors more in this piece. The smoothness beats out gritty for me, everytime! Well done ADC! 💯💯💯
As a beginner well just getting back to basics of art, I love this series. It tells me which are worth investing in or which are total garbage. I wish I had these tips back in art school when I needed high quality supplies on a budget and all the syllabus gave were generic suggestions.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for a coloured pencil video! It’s my preferred art medium so this is exciting for me!!!
Same lol
I have the fc from the expensive side was given to me as a gift I've had them for 11 years and still holding strong!!! I looove them they are so smooth and glide so nicely on paper!!!! Love how both sides look but prefer the expensive xx
The student pencils are good value for the money, but I have been using the Polychromos for the last few years and can honestly say that in my experience they are the best you can get and are well worth the money.
Your reviews are always fair and based on reality, I can definitely see the difference in the use and the final result. Well done! I hope you have fun at Comic Con! I am sure people will be gentle with you :)
I'm still saving up for the Polychromos... Might treat myself for my birthday in a couple of weeks 😅
I'm currently using the Faber-Castell Classic colour (which I believe is the "cheap" here) they work really well for me on the Strathmore toned grey paper, because it has a finer tooth but is still strong enough to withstand a few layers (obviously depending on user techniques/pressure)
They're also only £9.99 for the full 60 pack at 'the Range' here in the UK 👀
Obviously the Polychromos are better, but for now, I'm practicing with the cheaper ones until I can justify the price to my brain 🤣🤣🤣
Another excellent video!
Ir you do Great artwork with the cheap ones, than enjoy. You do not need the Polychromos. Save your money for the next level. Luminance.
@@johannarias9659... Might get both 👀😅
@@johannarias9659 update :... I got both 😬
👉👈
Love the new B roll. Really elevates things. I know it's a ton of effort, but it shows.
I like that you did give the cheaper pencils their due. They definitely are worth their price tag, and more. Depending on style, what one person might call a drawback (the grittiness for instance) could be a selling point for someone else.
Personally I haven't looked back since trying out Polychromos, but that doesn't mean they're the best for everyone.
They fit my needs and limitations perfectly, which is why I use them.
I managed to snag a Faber Castell Polychromos set for half off. I love these pencils a lot. Well worth the cost. Best part, you can get single pencils if you run out
Excellent video!
Season 2! Also thank you for drawing Jane and not the gold armour Thor. Too many people complaining about her character in my opinion. The piece also looks so cool! The pose and colors are great
I think she is GREAT... I can't wait to see her on screen.
Marvel hasn't handled many female characters well... cough, valkerie.. but... maybe this time???
I don't know how to put it but what u do is just amazing from the art to the expression it's just amazing keep going and keep up the good work
ok, i just need to say you upped your game. the intro cinematics for the pencils, I mean bro... you upped your game. I approve! Also, I actually am really glad you did this one, I feel much better spending the $60 now. haven't even gotten my new pencils and you prevented me from having buyers remorse.
I think both sides have really good results, but I'm a bigger fan of the polychromos end-result. And tbh I recently bought myself one of those 36 pcs polychromos and I've enjoyed them.
Hy there, I really loved today’s comparison and especially your drawing. I have had the opportunity to use both of Faber Castell , the student grade and the higher grade which are called Polychromos. For me the Polychromos are the best, you’ve tried them so you know how they lay down. But on top of the this, these coloured pencils have a great balanced core which make them less prone to breakage. Hope you have a great weekend in London and that your fans respect your personal bubble !
Pls more color pencil content! Love your artwork as always from philippines.
As always, your art looks amazing! Love the final outcome. Shocked at how good the cheap pencils looked but I think your talent had something to do with it 😉. Keep up the great work!
Three of the best things I love put together in one mix ADC (FAV TH-cam ARTIST), Marvel and Art 😌😌😌
Is this what love feels like? 😍
I so glad to see you enjoying polychromos and pencils in general!
This video was amazing ADC not only the final result but the music and editing was just lovely keep up the work.
You're coming to London baby.....
I love the effect the cheap pencils have created but overall you might as well spend the extra and get the same effect and some. Epic drawing and finished piece as always..
It's really amazing that you do with color pencils ! It's wonderful (again).
I have always thougt that pencils were the worst art material ever. Then I tried polychromos, and OMG !!! They are so nice !! I love love love. I then try some luminance and dervent lightfast, but I don't know...too soft for me I gess, and so much more expensive, but some unique and lovely muted colors.
Loving the calm vibe of this video.
I love the polychromo 😍. I grown-up with this pencils.
Dude...beautiful opening shots. That didn't go unnoticed. Great vid!
Thank youuuu ❤
I’ve used both in the past, also in combination for the Kiba, and I definitely prefer the polychromos. I think the skill ceiling is way higher with the polychromos than the classic colour. I would be interested to see just how well they work in combination and what the limitations are there 🤔? Anyway great video 👍 have fun at comic con
I think the Artist has more to do with the success of an Art supply than the quality of an Art supply. I believe if your a good enough Artist you can make even the worst supply will bend to your will or expertise! The ease of quality supplies give you an easier time when working with quality supplies. Fighting against cheap supplies is exhausting, and counterproductive! It is the main reason people give up on a medium it is to hard because they made it so hard by going with cheap supplies! Good luck at the CON! I am sure you will be greeted with warmth and joy!
YOU'RE PAWSOME.
Love that vibrancy of the polychromos.
i think it's great that you show both kinds it shows what you can do with what you have and something to work for. keep doing what you do it makes a differents
As always your drawing turned out amazing. I do love your cheap vs expensive series, watching you draw and hearing what you are experiencing with the materials you are using and your ideas and opinion is very helpful. Thank you
I love faber castell polychromos. Such beautiful artwork you created with them. Both are awesome but the expensive is the way I would go.
You worked wonders with the Classics, but I'd definitely choose the Polychromos given the option. I agree they're worth it.
Ooh! I missed these! I love that you don't just stick to one thing and keep doing it! You always try out new things with EACH video! You are a really big inspiration! Keep up the AMAZING work!
Great to see you back and so calm! Very relaxing video!
Amazing coloring wow! And yeah I agree the expensive are more worth it but I think the cheap are better for new artists
Finally the polychromos ! Now i'm looking forward for poly vs prisma !
Hi Anthony, another great review, I have a set of these polychromos and I am really happy with them. Great pencil for the price. Thanks for sharing, hope you have a great few weeks off. Jim
I looove how you coloured the metals 😍
You explaining while you blend is really helpful! Again, i can never pick. You do great work with any Colored pencils!!🔥🔥
Thank you for these comparison videos! They are great!
One thing I would like to mention is when you said they are like two different products, they sort of are. The Classics (red box) are wax based and are considered student grade, while the Polychromos are oil based and are more of an artist grade. My collection has a lot of different sets, and I will mix wax based and oil based in the same picture because they do each have their strengths. 😊
The results are spectacular in both. Thanks so much !
I hope you're having fun with those new "fancy" product shots. It looks nice and it's a cool addition to the videos!
I am, I enjoy the extra work... feels good to create more than just "perform" on camera
I love both sides. Faber-Castelle is just extreamly supirior then most and at any price. I would love a tutorial on how you render your metales. You do it so diffrent from what we learned in fashion school.
Usually I go for the cheap side, but this time I think I'll go for the expensive side because the colors are much softer it looks much greater. And you look like you're excited for the new Thor love and thunder movie coming out. Because if you weren't you weren't just drawn The Mighty Thor.
Amazing artwork. As per usual...
I gotta say I’ve have really be liking the way you have been doing your past videos. It’s funny and informational thank you for all of your hard work
Thank youuuu
Let's go, new video! And Mighty Thor! Very excited for 'Love and Thunder'

Me too!!! :)
@@ADCArtAttack :)
Wow I’m really early! I’m a really big fan of urs and ur art tips and suggestions for art supplies helps me out a lot! Thank you!!
Both sides look amazing
Absolutely love your content!
I recently bought new polychromos pencils because some of my old ones (from 1988), were getting too short even for pencil extenders. OMG the difference! It’s like I’d been using cheap school pencils for years. The new ones are so much creamier and bolder in colour. I’m off to the art shop today for a couple more colours I use regularly that weren’t in the set.
Thanks for always making great content and even greater art. And you always come through with the "which is worth it" series. I have bought the ohuhu markers and i've never turned back, they have been amazing. I'm excited to hear your opinion for best colored pencils
I NEED these pictures in my life.
U r amazing. Such an inspiration, thank you. 🙏
So glad to see this video. You don't see a lot of comic style art done in colored pencil, so I really enjoyed watching you work. I love my Polychromos, but they definitely are expensive. I recently picked up a budget set of pencils on Amazon, though, that are almost comparable to the Polychromos. The brand is Deli and I got 72 for a little over $30. They're just slightly less opaque, but only maybe 80%. And they don't have any light fastness information, so I wouldn't use them for something I was going to display or sell. But if you (or anyone watching) want a cheap set of pencils that are very similar I can't recommend them enough. I plan on replacing the colors I use up with Polychromos of the same color, but they're a nice way to get a larger assortment of colors while I figure out how to use them and what colors I prefer.
love your art amazing video
This actually made me laugh - I wouldn't call $30 cheap under any circumstances! If you'd tried, you probably could have found supermarket own brand pencils - I'm assuming they do that in Germany? Funnily enough, the Faber-Castell polychromos are on offer at Amazon UK for only £35! Normal price is just under £47 which is nearly $60 at the current exchange rate. But I have also found the cheapest bog-standard Faber-Castell colour pencils for £6.66 for 36! I think that would probably have been a fairer comparison.
Oh, and funnily enough, my 28-year-old Asbergic daughter was at Comic Con on the final Sunday. It would have been so funny if you'd just walked past each other - especially as she also watches your videos with me!
Anyway, whatever, you still did a good job and are a fantastic artist, so never put yourself down. I must also say that you're looking really bright and happy lately; I hope this means you've made it out of the darkness.
Great video as always. Have you considered trying the Crayola signature color pencils? They're probably one of the cheapest soft core pencils I've found.
So fun fact, the more expensive Faber Castell are oil based...so you can actually use your alcohol markers to break down the oils and blend them, also helps when you think you've hit max opacity, you can sneak another layer or 2 in after you blend them with the marker (just make sure the marker is thoroughly dry first, or you will get pilling or tearing.)
Just amazing as always
You're amazing! Once again loved the vid!😊
So glad you're back on TH-cam!
The red line ones always gave me and my lefty - hand - cramp- tendencies a hard time as a school kid ^^'. They sure are a good choice and one of the more top notch school/office, but if you'd ask me, I'd probably go for the intermediate Goldfarber line - and that even though I also own a fairly big set of Polychromos. The Goldfarber ones are also quite soft, if not a bit softer and their 48 range has matches in the Polychromos, so one could find out which colour they use most often and upgrade when one runs out of one colour or another ;)
i own the polychromos and prismacolor aswell as caran dache luminance..
Must say i can't pick between any of them, all work great...
The cheaper side is just less fun to work with
They both looks amazing! I love it 😍
It'll be very interesting to combine them in one work. For example, cheap pencils with their soft texture use for fabric, and expensive with their smooth texture use for metal.
Great video ADCArtAttack! The idea of taking Faber Castell cheap vs Faber Castell was a wonderful choice as it made for an awesome & informative video. I hope you consider doing more videos like this using the cheap & expensive versions of a product made by the same company. I liked the cheap version because of the gritty nature of how the colors turned out. However, I could see times where the rich & boldness of the expensive version would be better. I honestly think both are worth it based of the users goals. 💜😊🔥
Awesome as always!
So glad to have you back ❤️
YESS I was waiting for this (haven’t watched any of it yet) but I watched you draw this on stream (thatwebdev was my name). So I know this will be awesome
Neat to see someone do a side by side on these ones!
This is an awesome drawing. I think you should draw a character from the Orville.
so happy to see you back
I wished you had used arteza or mark art compared to the polys but I enjoyed the video very much.
Love both sides but I think I like the expensive side a little bit more! I'll definitely have to try out some of these pencils sometime.
Using one of my fav papers, Hahnemuhle Nostalgie.
I am happy that you did this. I saw these at my art store and was curious. I thought it funny because they are almost in the same isle together. Figured that the cheap one is for the beginning artist or young artist in school maybe. Anyway great video as always.
LESSSGOO ANOTHER NO GLASSES LOOK YEEEEE AND AMAZING VID 💖💖ur vids rlly make my day , tysm for uploading and keep doing ur best always 😊
I liked the expensive color pencils drawing better than the cheap💯
I don't know which side I like better visually. I do like the brighter blue on the expensive side, though.
I absolutely adore this video so much and I glad this was very great.
Thank you 😊
Thank God because I just bought that expensive set last week.
Happy to see you back...
Amazing
Adc should , One million percent receive 1 of the 2 paintings from ten hundred!!! But it would be even way better for some reason to magically get both of them I’m the mail!!
I would love to see you review the Posca Artist Pencils. I'm thinking of buying them as I have heard some good things, but would love to get your take on them
