I get so giddy and happy whenever you get gifts from your viewers/friends, especially since you deserve the world and seeing you happy and excited about art supplies or sweets or plushies is just infectious for me
First look at Adam's sketch had me thinking she was a punk clown. The yellow in the top definitely helped bring that vision to life for me. She's a punk clown rebelling against her regular clown parents who just don't understand!
These really are good pencils. I bought a few colors open stock and I quite like them, and I will probably buy the full set. And as for oil vs wax : ALL pencils contain both, only in varying amounts. And neither one is better or worse, it is simply a matter of quality and purpose. There are very good pencils with more of an oil lead, like Polychromos, and there are very good pencils with more of a wax lead, like Luminance. Different pencils have different preferences in terms of what paper they perform well on, and what style/technique of drawing they lend themselves to better, but those are of course matters of personal preference. Objectively speaking, either kind can be awesome (if the quality is good) or crappy (if the quality is bad). As for these posca pencils, they feel fairly wax like to me, being that they are so soft and opaque, but they also feel oily because they are so smooth. The manufacturer also states this, that they are a "unique composition, mixing oil and wax" , and that is actually exactly what they feel like, too.
The Derwent Coloursoft are supposedly a blend, but I find them quite hard and a little difficult to use. The pigments are gorgeous, though, and I plan to spend some dedicated time with them to practice.
Expanding on this just lil bit, oil-based pencils (or ones specifically marketed as oil-based) usually tend to have harder leads which make them better for detail work and less prone to breaking~ I like to lay down my flat colors with posca pencils and then do details and colored line work with the oil-based ones :)
@@tameramorrison8966 I think Colorsoft are a bit of an acquired taste. At least that's how I felt. I was not impressed with them when I first tried them, but now I really like them a lot. But yes, they definitely are a bit harder than the name would lead you to believe. Have you tried them on a variety of papers? I learned that one of the reasons why I did not like them so much at first was because I simply needed a good match. I found that the Strathmore toned Tan/Grey paper, Hahnemühle Skizze/Pastell and Fabriano Accademia suit them really well.
You definitely need to publish some coloring pages/coloring books! Have you checked out the adult coloring community? It's HUGE! I would love to color some of Steph's cute critters!
You guys should do a throw back challenge with these pencils! Draw something, then have a random number generator pick 3 numbers. And use the corresponding colored pencil!
I got this set of pencils a few months ago and I love them! They are so vibrant that I use them to outline sketches to add some depth in a sketch spread.
Blending color pencil is such a difficult skill to master. This is something that I have tried to work on too. Color pencil artists make it look so easy. Those posca pencils have some great colors. Love the neon frog!
I love coloured pencils but haven't been able to use traditional mediums as much due to my course being mostly digital so it was nice to live vicariously through you both for this video!
Oooh these coloured pencils look like they work really good! I might look into getting some- my favourite art to do is mixed media where I start with watercolour and then go in with coloured pencils afterwards .
So pleased you got such a fantastic present. Lisa clough on lachri fine art has lots of great explanations of coloured pencils and techniques. She mostly does lovely animal work so you might enjoy it. Love Adam’s hat. Can I recommend the derwent drawing pencils 24 set. They are all muted colours and are brilliant for autumn themes and nature drawings. So pleased your medications seem to be working. I’ve got a new one to try for migraines and I need to make sure I try it when there is someone else in the house just in case of weird side effects. So I need a migraine and visitor overlap……inconvenient. Hope the hallucinations subside.
I’ve decided: I really should comment more! I watch every episode as soon as it comes out, and even my mom has become a fan and she’s not an artist. 😁 Okay, so my understanding is this: Fairy Kei (no idea how to pronounce that, unfortunately) is like a pastel goth look. When I’m looking at Fairy Kei stickers on Redbubble, for example, there are a lot of bats and gooey eyeballs. There is a definite focus on ooze and slime, but it’s cute and sparkly, somehow. 😆 Decora is kind of like Japanese Kidcore, with bright primary colors and loads and loads of visual clutter. Pastel decora seems rare. And then you’ve got menhera, which is basically “mental health issues, but make it fashion”. 😅 But I’ve also seen menhera art with a *physical* illness slant, so like bandages and cute nurses and stuff. Adam’s eyepatch-wearin’ gal made me think to mention that. I use Prismacolor colored pencils almost exclusively, and they’ll break if you look at them funny. 😆 An art teacher of mine once told me that if they get dropped (like during shipping or whatever), the colored lead inside the pencil can easily be loosened within the wood and even snap *inside* the wood. So handle your Prismacolors carefully, people! (Also, Prismacolor colored pencils are definitely wax-based.) I LOVE how dark the lines are in Adam’s drawing! What kind of lead is he using in that mechanical pencil? (Proud member of Team Dark Graphite here.) And Adam’s new hat is boss, send tweet
Fairy kei doesn’t actually tend to have gothic aspects, as it’s more of a childish cutesy style, often with 80s inspiration. My sibling wears it and describes their style as ‘rainbow unicorn who got £50 worth or claires vouchers’. Etsy sellers just use as many keywords as possible. Also, mehera translates to mental health, so that would be used for the name menhera-chan, a focal point of the style, but the specific style would be called yami-kawaii, rather than menhera-kei.
I never knew how much I needed to see Adam in a propeller beanie until now!! Glad you had so much fun with the Posca Pencils. I love the frog, he was so happy. Steph have you drawn a nudibranch? They're like aliens living in the ocean, and so colorful, would love to see your take. (Not saying this because I struggle painting them and would love to see a real pro do it.... nooooooo.....👀👀)
Bully for you two! I wish I had the wherewithal to be as generous as so many of your other art friends! I will continue to view videos and comment on them so perhaps that dang algorithm will treat you like the amazing team that you are! Wonderful video and lovely artwork too!
I think the number is the production number? And how interesting, the color numbers are the same between the colored pencils and the posca paint markers! Bright Yellow is also #3 in the markers, and ochre is also #19.
Love the video guys! I enjoy getting the first reactions of these pencils - you're convincing me to buy some of those posca pencils for myself. Would love for you to review more the Jazza pencils as well!
Thanks for another great video! Steph, sounds like you’re having hypnopompic/hypnogogic hallucinations. I get those from time to time, but not as a side effect from anything. My most common one is spiders! Anyhow, the experience is weird and sometimes unnerving, but you’re definitely not alone. Cheers 💖
I have this on in the background and I tuned in at a good moment to hear Adam talking about the colourful lipstick and that reminded me that I recently got the new My Chemical Romance collector box from HipDot and I literally only have plans to make paint from the eyeshadow! So I have the four lipsticks to figure out how to use
Back in school we had to do little comics with colored pencils and I wanted the colors to be really bold and smooth (like comics were to me) and so I used the "using your strength" technique Adam did on the hair and my teacher said I used it wrong and gave me a bad mark (he only liked lightly applied clored pencil)
I've recently discovered oil based colored pencils too, and they seem way better than wax based. Wish I had known this a lot sooner, I would have enjoyed colored oencils a lot more over the years!
I think the reason the numbers are so wonky is incase they come out with a larger set. My fingers are crossed that they do, I love these pencils but they're severely lacking in certain colors due to how small the set is. I really hope they decide to expand the collection. I'm sure it will ultimately come down to their sales of the 36 set.
In the olden days when your parents were young, in the US a propeller hat signified a dork or nerd who was smart 🤓 it fits because you two are aDORKable (like me)
i love a good bright lipstick! theure just so hard to find a good formula (also being cruelty free makes it even harder) but i definitely used to wear them loads
I love how bold the colors look ^u^ I need every color imaginable when I draw haha, even as a kid I had that set of 152 crayons. also yes Adam I'm a huge fan of colorful lipstick but I don't have the confidence to wear yellow
I have an idea for a video! Draw a character in full, full body, clothes, hair, accessories etc. Then you pick a color, but you pull a card out of a hat that tells you what to color. Will the hair be bright orange? The shoes be the skin color you chose? Maybe they’ll have purple skin! Who knows? Only the cards!
I've been wanting to try these but I can't seem to get them in Canada! I love your videos that make me so happy and take away my stress for a lil bit. You should look into podcasting if you haven't already! I think you guys would be great at that :)
I love your videos! I'm sure someone already answered by now, but coloured pencils are a spectrum of wax and oil content where various types of wax and oils are used. Some lean more to one or the other but certain types of wax can give an oily smooth application and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Some more oil leaning can likewise be super dry and brittle. I hope this cleared things up and also made it even more confusing :) I think the artgearguide also made a video not too long ago trying to clear things up.
Visual Kei is a style that a lot of Japanese Rock bands adopted back in the 90s-00s. I used to be big into Jrock during that period but I haven't been involved with it in many, many years so I'm not sure if it's a style vibe bands are going with anymore. If I recall correctly it came from the term "Visual Shock" because the looks were so shocking to average Japanese folks. With VisKei you had a lot of elaborate costuming, wild hair, men performing as women characters (not sure if it would fit to call them drag Queens). A lot of bands did French aristocracy type costuming and characters with bands like Malice Mizer, Lareine & Versailles then you had your more goth-y vibe with bands like Dir en Grey (in their early years) or Velvet Eden. The last time I paid attention to Jrock most of the newer bands were doing more goth style looks. For bright and colorful Jfashion styles you have Decora but that also involves adding a bunch of cute colorful accessories on you too. Another "bright" cute style I loved back in the day was Ganguro/Manba which was like an extreme beach girl vibe. The girl you drew was like a brightly colored gothy viskei girl! With her eyepatch and frilly blouse!! VERY cute!!
YEEES!! Colored pencils are my favorite art supply (well, atm anyways)! I'm so happy to see you guys using them! Good job on learning new techniques, Steph! Colored pencils can be quite time consuming, but they're also really fun! Just make sure you take it easy on your wrist, ok? Speaking from personal experience, colored pencils can be quite harsh on your wrist, unfortunately. Especially if you do a lot of burnishing. Anyways, the Posca pencils look INCREDIBLE! I still haven't tried oil-based pencils. I hope I get to do it someday.
:o) -honks my little clown nose-,, hello i am the mystery gifter (i thought steph would enjoy the swatching and it seemed so interesting they were oil based posca!!!) (also that green tea ink is SO good smelling??? they have a blueberry scented one and im taking them to see my other friend bc of you guys!!
AWWW THANK YOU SO MUCH ELIAS!! You're the sweetest clown in town! I'm also a big fan of circus themes so your clown message rly caught my attention HAHA :o)
Hahaha they used one of our famous memes from Brasil, Nazaré Tedesco 😂😂😂 she's a charachter from a very famous "novela" here, called "Senhora do destino". Love you guys 😘🌈
Visual Kei, kei like the word key, also Posca pencils are both wax & oil and they are made by Uni a very well know pencil brand in japan, they make the mitsubishi pencils
You two did so well with these pencils! I've tried them, ScrawlrBox sent a few last year, and I didn't like them, but I'm thinking I didn't jive with the colour selection I was sent. I should try to use them together with Prismacolors and see if I like them better with fitting colours beside them. I'm a Polychromos girl, though!
I'm on a medication that gives me weird sleep side effects as well. I get sleep paralysis and really weird dreams. Just this afternoon I fell asleep on the couch and had a dream that my boyfriend filled my boots with milk as a prank. Then there was a monkey in our house that kept eating spiders while I was trying to get it to go outside.
steph could the hallucinations be sleep paralysis? if so then that could make it less scary!! if you’re fully awake during them tho it might not be that
So i haven't even watched the video yet but I wanted to let you guys know that I love your content and it always makes my day better. I was having to deal with students making really transphobic jokes and I had to sit and listen to it until I got too upset. Luckily the teacher is awesome and put an end to it when I explained the situation. But your video has already begun to make my day a little brighter and a little more creative ♥️
awww I'm so sorry that you've been experiencing that in your day to day life, you definitely don't deserve it D: I hope your teacher is able to put a stop to it so that environment can be a safer place for you! You're always welcome in our little art community so I'm glad you feel safe to be yourself around here
Love the hat. It’s perfect! Mac recently came out with a Keith Haring set of three lipsticks - red, yellow, and blue. They’re marvelously impractical. Out of curiosity, what flavor of colorblind? Red-green? Blue-yellow? Are you an achromat like the main character of a book I once read?
I recently bought prismacolor pencils. I'm kinda nervous to use them because I've only ever used Crayola, and when I have to sharpen them, they break easily. I dont want prismacolor to do that too. Wish I could try posca
I have a sleep disorder so I am unfortunately familiar with having sleep hallucinations. The funniest one I ever experienced was when I was in high school, I'd fall asleep and when I woke up everybody in the room had green hair. Blonde people had more vibrant green hair than brunette. You can imagine the look on my face! 😳 Btw, they are called either hypnopompic (when waking up) or hypnogogic (when falling asleep) hallucinations. I hope you get the medication sorted out and don't have to experience this anymore! I know how tricky medications and doctor appointments can be.
THAT HAS ALSO BEEN HAPPENING TO ME LOL! When I wake up, I've accused Adam a few times of having bright blue hair and he's been very confused HAHA! I'm so glad I'm not alone in this, its one of the strangest medication side effects I've ever had!
i have polychromos that are oil based and they are amazing and i also have color pencil blending powder that i have yet to try out but will at some point
there are soooo many great colored pencils out there :3 a whole new rabbit hole to fall in :D Edit: yeah! steph, I'm glad that your hand gets stronger :3
I get so giddy and happy whenever you get gifts from your viewers/friends, especially since you deserve the world and seeing you happy and excited about art supplies or sweets or plushies is just infectious for me
Thank you so much Asiu!! Our little community really does mean the world to us!!
The colorful japanese street fashion you're probably thinking of is decora. Visual kei is more like goth/metal.
Also those pencils look creeeamy 🤩
Thanks for the info! I can never remember the actual name LOL
And these are some of the creamiest pencils i think we have ever used!!
First look at Adam's sketch had me thinking she was a punk clown. The yellow in the top definitely helped bring that vision to life for me. She's a punk clown rebelling against her regular clown parents who just don't understand!
Punk teen clown is an OC who NEEDS to be real

Really liking the new iconic Adam look😎
The hat makes it PERFECT
I got this set of pencils a few months ago and I love them! They are so vibrant that I use them to outline sketches to add some depth in a sketch spread.
This is making me wanna draw a bunch of froggies in my new sketchbook. Well done on the gradients Steph! Also loving the colorful lipstick Adam. :)✨
this video sold me on those posca pencils more than an ad would...they look so dang GOOOOOOD
It's my first day back to work after getting covid and nearly dying. So nice you guys uploaded, it is so relaxing for my soul and heart
And thank YOU so much for taking the time to watch us, we really appreciate you
Blending color pencil is such a difficult skill to master. This is something that I have tried to work on too. Color pencil artists make it look so easy. Those posca pencils have some great colors. Love the neon frog!

The color scheme on Adam's actually looks super sick!! and I love the lil frog omg

Oooh these coloured pencils look like they work really good! I might look into getting some- my favourite art to do is mixed media where I start with watercolour and then go in with coloured pencils afterwards .
YES!!! We love accessible color coding! Also, I love the Steph colored pencil tips! You’re making me want to get a set myself!
Adamo really loves these soley based on the fact that he knows what colours they are by refering to the box LOL
So pleased you got such a fantastic present.
Lisa clough on lachri fine art has lots of great explanations of coloured pencils and techniques. She mostly does lovely animal work so you might enjoy it.

It's been so wonderful so far!! Though some way still to go, here's hoping

Ahhh what a pleasant surprise to be greeted by a new Doodle Date video!!
We hope that you enjoy it!! 🎉
Coming from a fellow colourblind artist, Adam never ceases to amaze me with how "risky" he can get with the colours :)

AWWW THANK YOU SO MUCH ELIAS!! You're the sweetest clown in town!
I'm also a big fan of circus themes so your clown message rly caught my attention HAHA :o)
I love Adams balloon boy hat!
NGL this hat looks great in the thumbnail esp with the POSCA text!
A good tip for colored pencils: work light to dark, don’t do your darks till near the end.
The feller hat is indeed the best hat in the world
One of the complaints haven’t saved those colour pencils is that they don’t have enough variety in skintone colours
the way he amps her up 😭😭😭
proud to be her hype man!!
Finally the thumbnail hat appears! And obvs the pencils were sent by Posca themselves, about time since Adam invented them after all.
Hahaha they used one of our famous memes from Brasil, Nazaré Tedesco 😂😂😂 she's a charachter from a very famous "novela" here, called "Senhora do destino". Love you guys 😘🌈
Visual Kei, kei like the word key, also Posca pencils are both wax & oil and they are made by Uni a very well know pencil brand in japan, they make the mitsubishi pencils
"a bran- a brand new hat which we'll get into." Tell me why i thought he was gonna say a brain-
Brain hat? I mean, I'd wear it
@@DoodleDate another new hat idea lol
You two did so well with these pencils! I've tried them, ScrawlrBox sent a few last year, and I didn't like them, but I'm thinking I didn't jive with the colour selection I was sent. I should try to use them together with Prismacolors and see if I like them better with fitting colours beside them. I'm a Polychromos girl, though!
Hey Steph, Binder clips will hold your sketchbook books open for you. Maybe make it easier when drawing. :)
Those “hallucinations” sound like how I have heard sleep paralysis described? I’ve never experienced it though
I'm on a medication that gives me weird sleep side effects as well. I get sleep paralysis and really weird dreams. Just this afternoon I fell asleep on the couch and had a dream that my boyfriend filled my boots with milk as a prank. Then there was a monkey in our house that kept eating spiders while I was trying to get it to go outside.
Steph: I'm so excited to swatch all of this.
Adamo: Oh No!
Me, yelling at the screen: OH YES!
#TeamSwatch
Do either of you take commissions? I’d love to own a piece of art by y’all!
Perhaps soon!!
Hi! I really enjoy your videos. So funny! The hat that Adam is wearing is hilarious. 😂
steph could the hallucinations be sleep paralysis? if so then that could make it less scary!! if you’re fully awake during them tho it might not be that
Adamo looking quite snazzy with that that snazzy hat. Another awesome video and review as always 🎉✨✨✨🎉
LOOOVE THE NEW HAT!!
If there's oil in them, could you manipulate them using oil? Maybe use a little baby oil to smooth blending like some people do with pastels?
I have some sky blue lipstick that I adore as well as some purple and I’ve thought a lot about getting some yellow
So i haven't even watched the video yet but I wanted to let you guys know that I love your content and it always makes my day better. I was having to deal with students making really transphobic jokes and I had to sit and listen to it until I got too upset. Luckily the teacher is awesome and put an end to it when I explained the situation. But your video has already begun to make my day a little brighter and a little more creative ♥️
awww I'm so sorry that you've been experiencing that in your day to day life, you definitely don't deserve it D:
I hope your teacher is able to put a stop to it so that environment can be a safer place for you!
You're always welcome in our little art community so I'm glad you feel safe to be yourself around here
Love the hat. It’s perfect!
Mac recently came out with a Keith Haring set of three lipsticks - red, yellow, and blue. They’re marvelously impractical.
Out of curiosity, what flavor of colorblind? Red-green? Blue-yellow? Are you an achromat like the main character of a book I once read?
Very much a fan of the hat!
I recently bought prismacolor pencils. I'm kinda nervous to use them because I've only ever used Crayola, and when I have to sharpen them, they break easily. I dont want prismacolor to do that too. Wish I could try posca
I have a sleep disorder so I am unfortunately familiar with having sleep hallucinations. The funniest one I ever experienced was when I was in high school, I'd fall asleep and when I woke up everybody in the room had green hair. Blonde people had more vibrant green hair than brunette. You can imagine the look on my face! 😳
Btw, they are called either hypnopompic (when waking up) or hypnogogic (when falling asleep) hallucinations. I hope you get the medication sorted out and don't have to experience this anymore! I know how tricky medications and doctor appointments can be.
THAT HAS ALSO BEEN HAPPENING TO ME LOL! When I wake up, I've accused Adam a few times of having bright blue hair and he's been very confused HAHA! I'm so glad I'm not alone in this, its one of the strangest medication side effects I've ever had!
Prismacolors are wax and notorious for breaking.
anonymous flexing on all of us with an 80$ gift!!!! I'M GONNA GET THEM A MILLION DOLLAR GIFT!!!!!!
We really do feel blessed by you guys! We have the most wholesome and generous community!!
i have polychromos that are oil based and they are amazing and i also have color pencil blending powder that i have yet to try out but will at some point
New sub love how you open to learning
Faber castell polychromos are oil based. Prismacolours are wax based.
Oil pencils blend by layering and wax blend more by mixing
i want these so damn bad. gooood.
We hope you can get your hands on the Angela! they really are such wonderful pencils!
That Bionic Woman meme 🤣
I mean, how could we not.. 🤣
I'm TERRIBLE at coloring lightly, I am naturally heavy-handed when writing or coloring or drawing...😅😅😅
there are soooo many great colored pencils out there :3 a whole new rabbit hole to fall in :D
Edit: yeah! steph, I'm glad that your hand gets stronger :3
