The old Derwent watersoluble Metallic pencils (with the silver body) were discontinued in 2020 to be replaced with the non-watersoluble ones (gold body). The reason why the price of the old ones is so high (and not representative) is because its third party sellers capitalising on their discontinued old stock. You can get a tin of 12 of the new ones just like the old set for a more reasonable price that the bougie watercolour set 😊.
I got a set of 12 Derwent metallic silver pencils on clearance from hobby lobby a couple years ago for 2$ and something. That was quite a deal for sure.
When you’re good at something you’re just good!!! You both are great!! Researching, explaining, teaching….( and I’m a former trainer so I know). You are both great!!!!!!!!!
Dang it!!!! Yet another delivery on the way to me thanks to your videos! Lol My first order contains items suggested by a previous recommendation from your videos and I had to place another one to grab a set of those beautiful cretacolor pencils! These will be great for backgrounds and the size “oh my”! I love them!! ❤️ I appreciate all you and Steve do to help make my coloring experience so “Blissful”!!! I’m gaining ground past the beginner status thanks to you guys!! Keep the great content coming!! Have a blessed day! 🌹
That Faber-Castell set is the equivalent of about $25 here in the UK as of July 2022. That's a heck of a price rise in 4 years, maybe they are cheaper in the US.
Bravo to you and Steve for another in depth comparison. Your attention to detail are to be commended. Some of them I've never even heard of! I promised myself no more pencil purchases so I will stick to that, for now.... Thanks again!
Great review. Just in time for Easter, as I have 5 little girls in my life. Ordered the FC set and black sketchbooks to go in their baskets. Love getting creative supplies for them.👍☺️
thanks for providing the demo for each brand, but still I can't choose from Metallic Showdown because some looked similar, so I'm gonna have to trust the brand I'm familiar with (Faber Castel)
I find it delightfully human that you misspelled pencils in the title of the rating sheet. I love your site and this just helps me not feel overwhelmed by so many things I am learning from you.
I have used the Derwent metallic watercolor pans before and they are done pretty well! I am not sure why they were included with the pencils that are not water soluble? I do not use the metallic pencils very often. I tried to use them for car bumpers and chrome but they do not look right. I get better results just drawing or painting in the reflections from the bumper or chrome pieces. Going either very light or much darker than the surrounding area. Wonderful video and spectacular testing video too!
What a cool test. :D Greetings from Germany where Faber-Castell is from. The red line is for small kids that go to school for the first time. Blue is for students. Green is for professionals.
@@ColoringBliss Yes, the blue line of Faber Castell pencils is the Goldfaber series. There are two versions of pencils in this series, one water soluble and the other not water soluble. However, the larger sets have 48 pencils only.
@@michela5411 I hope they will make more colors in the future. :D Goldfaber Aqua have colors you can't find in the Polychromos or Albrecht Dürer. It's a small 12er Set they call pastell. (I don't care for water-soluble pencils, so I don't have them. I would love to have them in the regular Goldfaber as well.)
Thank you for the great review. I like seeing a variety of colored pencils. I like to try different kinds. I can't afford the expensive ones. I use Prismacolor & Shuttle Art Pencils a lot when I color. Coloring is my pain reliever. I enjoy your videos very much. You & Steve are a lot of fun to watch. Have a wonderful weekend
I would have loved to see a comparison with the old school Prismacolors, as they did have 12 metallics, just as a side bonus. It would have been nice to see if they would have been the winner!
Very informative. The Qianshan look identical to the Brutfuner metallic set I own. I wonder if they're manufactured in the same facilities. I also own 3 other sets reviewed here and have to agree that the Eco and Crayola are impressive for what you pay.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TESTING AND EXPLAINING EVERYTHING. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT OTHER REVIEWS OF THESE PENCILS COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM GIVING OFF OR PRODUCING TOO MUCH DUST AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET RID OF. WE DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THAT FROM YOU. WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE AND I HOPE THEY CAN COLOR LIKE THAT OVER BLACK, ACRYLIC PAINT. WISH ME LUCK.❤
Question, why would there be a water soluble metallic pencil that loses its shine when wet? Makes no sense, this manufacturer needs to consult with the lab again.
Thanks again and again and again! These comparisons help me so much and I really enjoy them too! P.S. Arteza now has a set of 50 metallics and 50 Pastels! FSS might strike again!
Hi! I was looking for a metallic colored pencils review & came upon your channel. I wanted to buy a small set of excellent quality metallic colored pencils. I had seen Prismacolor had a big metallic colored pencil set & didn’t want to invest in another big set of theirs. I loved your video immediately! I’ve been a diehard Caran d’Ache fan since I was a child. I fell in love with the creamy texture and shine ✨. I bought the 6 pack for 33% off. The price before tax was $13.37. I debated on getting the winner, the Cretacolor of 12, but it’s $24.99 and not on sale. And if my Prismacolor sharpener doesn’t work, I have to buy theirs. I may do that in the future, bc they’re amazing. Actually, one of your subscribers mentioned she bought them upon YOUR recommendation in her review on Amazon. Ty for this video. I’d love for you to review the Prismacolor Metallic Colored Pencils. ✏️
Loved this post. Had me on the edge of my seat! By the way…Have you done a similar contest using fluorescent pencils? If not, that would be great to see, especially under UV “black light” compared to normal light.
I haven’t found many metallic pencils that are any good, even Polychromos metallics don’t really lay down properly, I usually add metallics with gel pens or paint pens or spend time on shading for a metallic effect.
The metallic sheen of these pencils is at its best when you burnish but that doesn’t leave much for subtlety and variation. You have to reach for other products to achieve even better results that have more control.
I have Creta set and I don't like it much but I probably had too high of expectations when I first bought it. I do like all of my Holbein metallic but you would have to get them open stock because they only come in the big set, and there are just a few, basically traditional colors of gold, silver, etc. However they are my favorite metallic pencils and do a very good highlight on things I need to look a little shinny however for the most part when I want metallic bling I just use my watercolors with just a touch of water.
You crack me up. You get so excited over colored pencils. Only a fellow colored pencil hoarder would understand your excitement. Thank you so much. I’m working with my pencils today. Have a wonderful one.
😂😂 I prefer to call myself a collector. After all…hoarders don’t curate, organize, use, and care for their stash. My collection is very organized…in fact, I could tell you exactly where each brand is right now in my studio…without looking! I’m happy to hear that my joy also brings you joy. It is fun to share my passion for art products.
I saw the eeboo ones and had a flashback to when I bought some at Whole Foods for Christmas one year and recently I’ve been trying to remember the brand again. I loved those colored pencils dearly when I was younger and was so happy to have shiny pencils.
Thank you for your review. I just would like to add a piece of information about the new version of Derwent metallic pencils: unlike the other sets, they are all lightfast, except for 2 of them. 17 out of 20 of them have also a very high lightfastness rating, so that they can be used by artists who sell their artworks. I do not the lightfastness of the water soluble version of Derwent metallic pencils, as there' no longer information on the Derwent website.
Loved this video! I got some fabercastell metallics from the supermarket recently and they were ok. Those cretacolours look like they’d be great for sore hands
I had the old Derwent set for years. So when the 20th anniversary set came out at like the same price for 20 pencils I bought it. It's immensely better than the water-soluble set that's been discontinued. There is an issue with a few of the colors moving more than I would like with water. Recently did a comparison of the 2 and I tested all 20 colors. There are 8 or 9 of the colors that actually move quite a bit. Also if you compare the 2 side by side the colors are different for most of the pencils.
That’s what I was thought. It didn’t make sense to me to have 2 lines of metallic but…they also have multiple lines of all their products. So, I wasn’t totally sure.
I think the Fabre castell is the shiniest. And I find it interesting the difference in the tone of all the golds. Some are very yellow or brown or green
Thank you for doing this video. Great job! I also read your blog on this and left a comment there. Could you please post a ranking without the cost factor? I am curious to know if the rankings would alter. At the end of the day, these are art pencils, and you want your artwork to look the best regardless of cost.
I just got a set of kalour pencils, I love the metallics in the set a lot!! I don’t know if they are available as a separate set or just as part of a larger set
I was hoping to see John Shen metallic color pencils too. I have bought those just from local shop (not from art shop or something like that). Perhaps you don't find those from Amazon, Ebay or anywhere in your country? That's a pity, because I like them quite a lot. Although I don't have much other brands to compare them with.😕 Sorry abt my bad english.
This was both beautiful and sad! I have the Raffiene pencils. BUT I also have the Faber Castell ones. I guess I know which ones I will go to for the metallic sheen!! LOL
Like I said in the beginning…the results are as objective as possible, but in the end, very subjective. Please don’t let my review stop you from enjoying those beautiful pencils.
Have you done battle on pastel colored pencil? I've been looking around yt but not much clue I could get, there's another set of pastel set I'm interested to know, Indra 72 set but it's unavailable on Amazon at the moment.
Interesting video....i was surprised about crayola metallics....do you think they are readily available at micheals or walmart???? Mikelle art mom1✍👩🎨🎨
Off subject here but what brand hair color is yours? It's gorgeous.. I love metallic everything, I'm getting braver with pencils now otherwise I'm a gel pen girl. Thanks for the advice.
I have a question, so I use pencils on white paper and mainly don't blend them I just use the solid color for my cartoon art. I am looking for metallic colors other then silver and gold for my art, I currently need a blue to finish this knight that I am currently coloring. I would prefer a waxy type cause it pops out more and doesn't leave white spots from not filling in the paper, what would you suggest?
have the whole set of derwent metallic and the castle arts metallic, want to buy the cretacolor brilliant, but i read these pencils are thicker, can i use them to color in Johanna basford's books, and what is the name of the sharpener?
Great video....although knowing that you are a perfectionist, I am playing "proof-reader" for you at the moment and want to let you know that on the worksheet, in the large title, the word Pencil is spelled PENiCL. I knows everybody makes mistakes, so I thought I would let you know.

I have never seen a Faber-Castell metallic pencil! Interesting!!!
Love the Derwent pencils as well as the Cretacolor! My Derwent have gold coloured barrels and no water colour signs.
When you’re good at something you’re just good!!! You both are great!! Researching, explaining, teaching….( and I’m a former trainer so I know). You are both great!!!!!!!!!
It’s so nice that you try to give us a range of price options. I really appreciate your reviews and they are also very entertaining!💚
One the ones where you were uncertain about the name, It's Qianshan with a Q, so Steve is right on this one. I was looking into buying them on Amazon.
My Happy Mail came today!! Got my Cretacolor The Brilliants metallic pencils!!! Can't wait to "create" all those beautiful pages!!
Dang it!!!! Yet another delivery on the way to me thanks to your videos! Lol My first order contains items suggested by a previous recommendation from your videos and I had to place another one to grab a set of those beautiful cretacolor pencils! These will be great for backgrounds and the size “oh my”! I love them!! ❤️ I appreciate all you and Steve do to help make my coloring experience so “Blissful”!!! I’m gaining ground past the beginner status thanks to you guys!! Keep the great content coming!! Have a blessed day! 🌹
Great comparison review. Thank you.
That Faber-Castell set is the equivalent of about $25 here in the UK as of July 2022. That's a heck of a price rise in 4 years, maybe they are cheaper in the US.
Bravo to you and Steve for another in depth comparison. Your attention to detail are to be commended. Some of them I've never even heard of! I promised myself no more pencil purchases so I will stick to that, for now.... Thanks again!
Great review. Just in time for Easter, as I have 5 little girls in my life. Ordered the FC set and black sketchbooks to go in their baskets. Love getting creative supplies for them.👍☺️

I find it delightfully human that you misspelled pencils in the title of the rating sheet. I love your site and this just helps me not feel overwhelmed by so many things I am learning from you.
Found the Cretacolor metallic pencils for $20.99 on Amazon. Also bought a electric pencil sharpener with bigger holes (6 sizes).

The red line is for small kids that go to school for the first time.
Blue is for students.
Green is for professionals.

The Faber castell red line (school grade) are made in Brazil and Mexico. In Brazil it’s also the same plant that makes the crayola color pencils.

I just picked up the Crayola metallic pencils and markers yesterday, April 2nd. I’m just now using the pencils.
Coloring Bliss totally rocks with swatches and battles!
Oh. Myyy. I got the 24 set of Faber castell. Love them so much my husband let me order the 120 set. Whoa!!!
Finally know which metallic pencils to buy. I gave away my spectrum noirs
Oh dear! I never knew that I need a metallic color pencil until I saw this video. 😅
Marvellous review of metallic pencils ! Thanks so much for both of you !
WOW! Awesome testing worksheet. Thank you!! 😊
I vote for testing the Derwent pans,
The Crayola is ok but I would like to try the raffine
Thank you for a comprehensive comparison ☺️
Definitely Qianshan. Thanks for another informative showdown!
thanks for this video especially! i have been fretting over which metallic pencil i wanted to buy! awesome, thanks so much for all of the info!🙂
The winner have already
I saw the eeboo ones and had a flashback to when I bought some at Whole Foods for Christmas one year and recently I’ve been trying to remember the brand again. I loved those colored pencils dearly when I was younger and was so happy to have shiny pencils.
They are a very pretty pencil.
I really like these pencil battles!
Thank you.Very useful
your channel is amazing! thanks for sharing your personal opinion , it is makes me so secure to choose a new brand
Steve, sorry, Pencils is misspelled in the title!!! Sorry!!! Great page … thanks for creating all the forms you create!!! We appreciate you!!! 💖💖💖
Thanks for the heads up. Neither of us noticed until someone pointed it out during the video premiere last night. Oops.
Love the Metallic Pencils 😎
I like them all!!
Thank you for this, very helpful 😘
Hello!
What about the Brutfuners?….🙃
Very interesing anyway.
Fantastic review...love all that study you do with the colored pencils!!!👍👏💯
Che meraviglia questi pastelli! Spero di prenderli presto anche io per farli vedere sul mio canale

Me too!! So many different gold colors. Makes you wonder what color gold really is. But…there are lots of gold varieties so maybe it makes sense.
@@ColoringBliss maybe there are so many variations because of how different people see them. like if they are color blind and can't see blue
Thanks for a great review 👍😊
Thank you. I have wanted to purchase a set of metallic pencils for awhile, your video will be helpful in making my decision. 😊
Have fun shopping!
Love metallics
Could you do a review on the Koh-I-Noor Metallic Leads?
Thank you for doing this video. Great job! I also read your blog on this and left a comment there. Could you please post a ranking without the cost factor?

Hey, Jeniffer.... where can I find those Fancolors from Caran D'ache? Blick doesnt have them and I can't find them on Amazon.
Thx for your help.
Greetings from Montreal!
I am sorry , I do not see the link for your fave colored pencil paper. Could you just tell me what it is?
I just got a set of kalour pencils, I love the metallics in the set a lot!! I don’t know if they are available as a separate set or just as part of a larger set
Thoughts on brutfuner metallics?
Thanks guys
Hello there! Nice comparison! I love what you do for us, but I wonder are the CRETACOLOR oil base? Can I use it with Derwent oil base?
Thank you for sharing this I think the cretacolors or screaming buy me!
They are a fun pencil. Check out the video where i first colored with them. It might help you make your final decision.
I was hoping to see John Shen metallic color pencils too. I have bought those just from local shop (not from art shop or something like that). Perhaps you don't find those from Amazon, Ebay or anywhere in your country? That's a pity, because I like them quite a lot.

What paper do you use? I don't see a link and the last link I tried didn't work from an older video
The links are there now. 👍😊
Arteza... I like
Have you done battle on pastel colored pencil? I've been looking around yt but not much clue I could get, there's another set of pastel set I'm interested to know, Indra 72 set but it's unavailable on Amazon at the moment.
Which ones are in the $8-$14 price range??
I was just looking at Metallica. Thanks f tohe comparison.
Hi! Does anyone know where you can buy those Arteza Metallics and Neon pencils??? I cannot find them ANYWHERE! And I have looked and looked 🙂
Where can I buy the Cretacolor Metallic Drawing Set. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
So I just received my Creata color met pencils. What sharpener do I use?
You can print coloring pages on black paper? I need to know more!
Interesting video....i was surprised about crayola metallics....do you think they are readily available at micheals or walmart???? Mikelle art mom1✍👩🎨🎨
Off subject here but what brand hair color is yours? It's gorgeous..
I love metallic everything, I'm getting braver with pencils now otherwise I'm a gel pen girl. Thanks for the advice.
The brand is Arctic Fox and the color is Purple Rain. I leave it in my hair for 5-6 hours to get it to that color.
@@ColoringBliss thank you
I have a question, so I use pencils on white paper and mainly don't blend them I just use the solid color for my cartoon art. I am looking for metallic colors other then silver and gold for my art, I currently need a blue to finish this knight that I am currently coloring. I would prefer a waxy type cause it pops out more and doesn't leave white spots from not filling in the paper, what would you suggest?
Crayola Metallic blue. Their green is very good also. The best orange is Liqui-Mark.
have the whole set of derwent metallic and the castle arts metallic, want to buy the cretacolor brilliant, but i read these pencils are thicker, can i use them to color in Johanna basford's books, and what is the name of the sharpener?
I love metallic pencils.
What do you have to hang up your 🎨 art?
Great video....although knowing that you are a perfectionist, I am playing "proof-reader" for you at the moment and want to let you know that on the worksheet, in the large title, the word Pencil is spelled PENiCL. I knows everybody makes mistakes, so I thought I would let you know.
Sadly, the Cretacolor are $32 at amazon and like $30 at dickblick, so SAD
I see it at 21.59 on Blick today. Hmmm. Are you in a different country?
@@ColoringBliss + $7.95 shipping (no free shipping) + $2.07 tax = $31.61 Blick
Wait, in your blend test with non metallic pencils you used a prismacolor as the non metallic for all of them??
Yes. I wanted to be consistent and Prismacolor is a very waxy pencil that most of my viewers are familiar with, so it seemed like the best option.
@@ColoringBliss well, you know your viewers best! If they mostly use prismacolors so it makes a lot of sense!
