Ahh yes “Maggots” the most treasured supply when opening Palletful packs 😌
Oh hey, guess you like drawing wiff waffles too 😅
@@willaandrews7283 oh hey haha!
i've never thrown away my maggots. they are starting to build up. gotta figure out a project to use them for.
@@drawingwiffwaffles Like a collage maybe? Idk
@@drawingwiffwaffles forest?
Lil maggots
I like how Waffles calls the list of art supplies "the menu" hehe. Like she gonna eat 'em.
You mean you’re not supposed to eat them??
@@ConfusedCorvid HAHA
@@ConfusedCorvid idk man, I'm vegan and the ingredients aren't on the box so
@@gtuson8854 you could always eat the green maggots
@@fatpotato317 That’s not vegan Potato
No one:
Me thinking there would be actual maggots in the box
Yeah, I thought that too at first. Are you new here? If so: welcome! Have fun! 😁 If not: you're still welcome and I hope that you're having fun as well. 😛✨
Your profile pic does a great job at highlighting this
@@megsaikai3872 omg that’s so true
Imagine you get that box and there's just a *crunch* *crunch* noise inside
sorry to disappoint you. XP
lololol when the side camera was shaking and she wrote “it’s possessed” on the screen i bursted out laughing
i can assure you, the camera was not moving. there is no other option XP
@@drawingwiffwaffles My phone has been doing the shaky camera thing too, it’s so odd!
The problem you seem to be having with blending is that you're immediately burnishing (pressing hard) and filling up the paper. You can see the paper is filled from the shiny surface the colored are gets. If you start with a light wash of color the pencils can be layered and you can more easily blush the skin, and also when finally burnishing your end result will have a flatter, smoother fill :) I Hope this helps! Those holbein pencils seem awesome though, very colorful and opaque
Trick to more color payoff: Use the main colors lightly, and then blend together with the color blender or white. If you notice how Raedrizzle uses her color pencils, she blends with white to get the full effect after she's lighter with it. I had this problem for the longest time and when I was introduced to the Color blender on fixing this issue of color payoff (Art Collage showed me this), my wrists and fingers didn't hurt as much at the end of it all, Also you can blend different colors on top each other before you blend them together.
thanks so much for the tips!! I hadn't thought of that. 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles Oh wow, Wasn't expecting this to be seen. xD Usually I'm commenting like after you've stopped looking when I'm putting in tips or giving information when it comes to mind. You're really welcome, I have noticed you struggle with pencils in general when it's not just for sketching, and I remember the time I've struggled with some stuff, and not many people really... explain what is wrong in why it's not coming out right. (Watercolor became popular which is great, but using Drawing pencils still not, which makes me sad because you can get beautiful range from a 2H all the way to a 9B Pencil). Wanted to help a fellow Artist.
I hate the colourless blender!
i'm not one for the color green at all, but those maggots are STUNNING
I love green maggots
I completely agree yes
@@olipaints5029 😂
@You're the reason he's crying i completely disagree no
I agree, it's one of my favorite shades of viridian.
Who appreciates how Rin has closed captions on every video?
It’s the best!
Absolutely! I'm slightly hard of hearing and have audio processing difficulties so it is much much appreciated
I wouldn't be able to do that for every video without Amanda's help! [th-cam.com/channels/jF_jBdRCbHqKiJgmBKxdog.html]
meeE, theyre so helpful sjxnxkfn
I was actually so concerned when you said maggots ahaha PHEW
HI
Hiii
Waw hi
Big fan^^
Fun fact: the first three colors waffles swatched were the colors of the German flag and stabilo is from Germany too :D
Lol I noticed that tooXD
ILUMINATI ...I SPELT THAT WRONG
The Meltz thing looks very interesting.. I'm curious to try them too now
Yesss would love to see that on your channel ❤️❤️❤️
Oh hi!! I recently found your channel through your professional artist colores children's coloring book series and I have fallen in love with your content!
Temi that would be a cool video!
It’s odorless mineral spirits, right?
You can also use gamsol as well
The way to get a lot of color without hurting your wrist is slow build up! Faint layers on top of each other become opaque quicker than you'd think, and then it looks velvety instead of kinda shiny ☺️
As well as paper with tooth. (Pastel paper, watercolor paper, paper specifically made for color pencil, sanded paper.) The Illo sketchbook is way too smooth.
Yes I love this technique but it does take a long time. It works best for me when I do small circles and keep sharpening the pencil.
Sometimes I take a shortcut and use sanded pastel paper and blend with solvent, it's fast but its basically painting with colored pencil at that point.
@@BeakerandBella I watch The Frugal Crafter and Lachri Fine Art and because of the both of them, I just bought Uart sanded paper, and Brush and Pencil Texture spray and blending powder.
TH-cam is bad for my wallet. 😂
@@mlyon1476 I feel your pain. I do have to say I’ve never been disappointed by anything I’ve bought due to watching a video, at least.
Perfect timing I am currently putting fairy lights up in my room and I need some art in the background
Ohh cool
oOoOO nice 😊
omg, thats gonna be gorgeous!
cheese pfp
@@Fujoeyshi well of course
Ngl the green on the palleetteful packs box is on✨FLEEK✨
I love your PFP 🥰
Yeah isn’t there gonna be a new miraculous movie soon?
I love that I’m not the only green enthusiast that noticed that 😂
Wait how did this blow up already??
Green Green Green! 💚
Btw, you don't have to push hard with coloured pencils, they're actually made for layering. Colour in soft and layer other colours (or the same one) on top until you have the colour you want. - an art student.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!! 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles Nice humble response! WTG Rin!
Yea a ton of soft layers if you put too much pressure with your first colors you will cover the tooth of the paper making so much harder to layer and blend
Hello Waffles i have a video idea:
You should try to draw contortion. So like people in weird contortion poses, i've tried it myself and it's a challenge finding the right proportions when the characters are in such weird poses hehe
That sounds fun to watch
My wrist hurts after using anything thin like pencils or pens for a while, and I find out that using an ergonomic thingy around the pen/pencil really alliviates the discomfort. The problem is mixing something very thin with pressure so just gotta make the thin thing thick and voila, like nothing. It will be annoying to keep putting the pencils on it, but it's worth it in the end. I think you can buy those on stores, are usually for kids, or you can make your own with whatever thickness you need with foam clay. Foam clay because it will be light and kind of flexible after dried so you can put slighty thicker pencils too, like polychromos.
That's an interesting idea! I had never thought of that. What I do is doing some warm-up stretches on my hands and arms (yep, both of them, even though I only draw with my right hand) before I draw. It's really helped me. The only problem is that I have to keep reminding myself to do the stretches. It's really easy to forget all about them when I'm excited to start drawing, haha
@@andysartz I don't have the patience for those lol The ergonomic thingy works the best for me, not just drawing but also handwriting, especially as someone who likes handwritting a lot.
I use pencil grips too.
I need to get me one of those ergonomic thingies then because I have wrist issues. thank God I type a lot and had to change to typing in uni after the wrist issue. but even when I write a little, it can cause pain again.
The key to colored pencils are circular motions and gentle thin layers, in multiples. Even without blender, they will blend better using that method. I've never used meltz before but it looks like it works like oderless mineral spirits, which actually works better the more layers you've put down. Anywho, just a tip you could try. Love your work!
Yes! This is what I do when I want a gorgeous velvety finish.
Tip for coloured pencils: start light! Especially when blending pencils start with a really light layer of the colours you want and build them up with small light circles (it helps to use a very sharp pencil) when you start light it kinda looks a bit like a crayon texture, when you do the next layer fill in the ‘gaps’ in the crayon texture. Getting dark, very pigmented colours is the same. It takes a long time but it is so much easier to blend and looks really nice.
It also helps your hand and wrist not to hurt
Thank you!! I'm gonna try this!
@@drawingwiffwaffles there’s probably better ways of explaining it but that’s how I did it 😂
0:49 YES Swan princess is literally my favorite animated movie
that puffin, tho 💜💜💜💜💜
YOOO someone else also got the reference
Yessssssds
I just purchased my first set of ohuhu markers! You’ve inspired me so much and I’ve become increasingly obsessed with the look of ohuhu. Thank you for introducing so many of us to such a lovely art medium.
aren't markers fun?! I'm so glad I could introduce you to such a fun medium!
I used to watch you all the time!! In 2019 you inspired me to do art and mermay, I would draw with you all the time! I’m older now and did my art exams!!
I clicked on this without even reading the title, I just saw ‘DrawingWiffWaffles’ and I was like YEEEEEEEEEEES
Lol me too
💜💜💜💜
My "secret" to blend colored pencils if I want to finish faster is the Caran d'Ache Luminance white pencil. It's absolute magic. It lighten the original colors a bit but personally I love the effect and the blending is always super smooth. Also works on almost all colored pencils but mostly the softer ones.
I remember I said “maggots” at my mom and she literally got so confused....I literally sat there for like a half an hour trying to explain what I meant 😂
i guess its one of those things XP
I can relate 🤣
I love your icon:> he is such a sweet heart
@@ingridstockman6668 yes!
I think the right definition is crincle paper or something like that.
Hello. I got back from art class today to find this treasure. Yas
2nd*
Oh cool
How did your art class go?
@@businesspanda__8909pretty well thanks for asking
@@soyounglee2084 I’m glad that it went well
me reading, drawing, and daydreaming about fictional worlds
also me: *wiLL iT sOlVe mY pRObLeMs?*
that is like one of my favorite hobbies.
MMMEEEEE
Sameeeeeee
The cool thing about colored pencils is that you can use them as line art for watercolor paintings and also to make some shading in paintings
I see a few other comments saying similar things, but art school taught me that colored pencils ought to be used lightly with building up layers. You have to keep them super sharp in order to avoid texture. This helps with blending as you layer different colors. It does take forever, but the end result is gorgeous.
I've been researching liquid blenders and learned just today that you need to (always?) blend from light color to dark. also, maybe try putting the gummy grips on the colored pencils. I feel like they are so diametrically small AND SLIP-ER-EEEE. I think that can cause u to grip harder than your mechanical pencils. The Ohuhus are BIG AND THICK too and we love them. Sooo, I think we need to go back to the kindergarten bombasto sized writing utensils
Large boi is the only answer
Idk why I enjoyed the wording in this comment so much
Amen
somebody who I think would look adorable in ur style in molly hayes from marvel's runaways comics. she's a mutant preteen who's super strong and she has a very cutesy sense of style. I dunno, the girl with the bow in her hair vaguely reminded me of her, and so does weelz. molly wears animal hats and really bright clothing, she's fun to draw.
i luv marbel runnaways i watched the series on netflix twice!
its one of my favs
I watched that! She was fun! She was the super strong one, right?
@@riah4597 the show is pretty cool too! the show mostly follows the 2005 runaways run, but I would totally recommend the ongoing run (since 2017), it's amazing from the writing to the art.
@@bee.ok666 Okay, ill check it out sometime!
@@drawingwiffwaffles yeah!
No matter what tools you use, your art is ✨amazing✨! 💜
I've been watching you for awhile now and you've helped me find my own styles and helped me with anatomy watching you draw is amazing
💜💜💜 Glad to be of assistance! 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles ❤️
The most relatable queen is back . YES ! If anyone is like me they stopped whatever they were doing for this video😭
Yes!
Something about your voice just instinctively makes me want to draw
Holbein are the most expensive and inaccessible colour pencils
In our community ( colored pencils geeks )
We see these pencils as a God's fingers
So enjoy them 😊😃😂
The menu is paperless and sent through email now. And the stickers are pretty new. They've only sent about 4 so far.
Thanks for the update!! 💜
Everytime i think about wanting to watch waffles she posts a new video. I'm truly blessed xD~♡
dang, we must be connected.
I love the thrid girl! She came out so alive! And the dark skin color is just amazing. And the light green fits her perfect!
I get excited each time Rin posts!
💜💜
The color of the 'maggots'/'wormies' is a shade of viridian. It's one of my favorite colors and figured I'd share that for those who are wondering if there is a specific color for it. PS; I love how these color pencils lay down! Looks so smooth! Have a beautiful day everyone. Remember you matter. Here is your reminder to take medicine, vitamins and hydrate!
Running out of pages?... does that mean a sketchbook tour is around the corner?😆😁
Oh my, when you sung The Swan Princess song I just had pure nostalgia while giggling to myself. Your self realisation and ‘... okay!’ 😂 loved it. Now I watch the rest of the vid. Hehe
Maggots are a treasure all on its own. When you open that box, you know they are there, You don't know what color or how many, BUT THEY ARE THERE!
Love your art
you just made my day better by posting this✨💛 can’t wait to see what you’re going to draw🙆🏻♀️
Glad to hear that! Hope you enjoy! 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles i sure did! My favorite one was the yellow one, because it looks very cute💛 (all of them look good tho) Have a nice week 🥰
Why do I keep forgetting that you don't just post on Saturday mornings? It's such a nice surprise every time, lol.
Love Rin’s art so much! It inspires me so much and every time she’s does the unboxings she always finds a way to use the stuff to create something!
I just love feeling all inspired after watching your videos 🎨💜 thank you Rin for another fab video 🥰
When I saw the third sketch with the lettuce green, I thought it looked like Tiana from princess and the frog, but with summer clothes lol.
YO THIS IS LIKE THE EARLIEST IVE BEEN ON ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS HIII
Welcome!!!! Hope you enjoy! 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles I did! You’re my favorite youtuber and I always love your videos
I got so excited when you posted! You create great art! Thanks for posting!
all of these extra videos are making me so happy🥺
I’m guessing that stuff is just odorless mineral spirits. I haven’t had much luck using OMS on my colored pencil pieces. But I do know that you can keep a light touch with your pencils, and if you layer enough pigment on there, it’ll blend out and cover the white of the paper.
I use order less mineral spirits all the time and it turns the colored pencils into a paint consistency
I was just watching your videos and you posted I’m so happy!
💜💜💜
I'm always impressed how you turn the simplest sketch into something amazing looking.
I love the way the middle green one the best! I love the character and the outfit!
omg i was just looking for a new waffles video to watch 💜
also the maggots match my eyeshadow today i LOVE IT
oh dannng, your eyeshadow must look awesome!
@@drawingwiffwaffles thank you so much!! 🥺💜
I’m subscribed to palleful now I love the boxes
Coooool
glad you're enjoying them! 💜
I love these types of vids! Helped me make decisions on what stuff to use thx
Your videos always make me smile! Those colors are BEAUTIFUL too.
Rin: if you’ve been around my channel for a while you would know that I would always complain that I didn’t know my hair color in art supplies until now
Me: WHAT ABOUT BOTATO BROWN!!!!!!
Rin’s hands are something I wish I could replicate on my channel Artsy VB . Hail the Rincess of Artland!
Rincess? haha thats cute. 💜💜💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles Rin!!
Rincess is a clever phrase… gotta give you that…..
@@tst1tst212 thanks
Always a joy watching you do what you do Rin. I enjoy watercolors more than pencils even using watercolor pencils and using water to fill out areas is easier that that dang ol' pencil pressure! I am also no big fan if layer after layer trying to get pencils to look the right color! Lovely time and video Rin, thanks!
I love that your channel is just an endless stream of wholesome art content ♥
When your like actually matters
of course your like matters! to me at least 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles wow thanks ❤️
You can also use baby oil to achieve a similar-ish effect to the meltz I think (but it probably doesn't work as well since it wasn't designed especially for that purpose)
It always surprises me how I unknowingly manage to watch your half-an-hour long videos, without skipping. They are truly interesting, inspiring and lovely to watch.
I honestly love watching your videos so much. They're an instant mood booster. Also, you always end up creating such beautiful art and its so cool watching the process! I hope youre having an amazing day.
I haven't seen the video yet, but I already know it's going to be good :)
💜💜 you are too kind
Hello! Can’t wait to watch💜💜
Hi! Hope you enjoy! 💜
I love that she is always doing two videos a week! More amazing art every week
I love those sketches! They're so varied and vivacious. I'd love to see a video of Rin trying out different methods of transparency.
Beautifully done
Pencils are blended by Layers.
SOFT Layers. Sometimes u have to do a dozen layers to get a BAM Colour, but it's blended then.
thank you so much! i seriously need all the help i can get
Maybe let’s find out ok here’s a little tip start off with a marker base and then use color pencils thats what i do and it’s so much better and less work
You did so good with the colored pencils!!! I really am considering getting the colors of the world art supplies now! And now I want to get a paletteful art subscription.👍🏼👍🏼😃😃🤗🤗🤗
I love seeing you draw in you sketchbook!!! You inspire me!!!!
(literally, so much!!!)🤩🤩🤗🤗😁😁
I love how in almost all your art we see different skin tone of characters and it always brings a smile to my face. Like, Aaaaa- ❤️ I love you for this
First one oof, I love ur art style btw it's just so special
thank you! 💜
120 Crayola Colored Pencils: $32
150 Holbein Colored Pencils: $425
..
Yeah...the Holbeins are "probably better".
;)
..
(for the record, I have all the Holbein in the deluxe wooden box...but none of the Crayola's, so I can't actually compare; and yes, I love 'em! :) ).
Price doesn’t mean always better!
@@nycdyke2867 Absolutely true for the VAST majority of things in the world.
..
That said, my experience has been that there are two "things" (types/categories) where higher price almost always equates to a better product: Art supplies for 'pro' (or at least semi-pro...so not 'childrens/school') artists, and computer equipment (PC, not Apple; Apple products are WAY overpriced!).
..
Want a new video card? Well, the $500 is going to be better than the $350. Need a new printer? Yup, $110 is better than the $45. Mouse? Again, $80 is just going to be better quality, better features and better feel than the $19 next to the check-out.
..
I'm finding the same thing with Art stuff...but not quite as drastic. Still, it's like night and day using alcohol markers, for example, on "24lb printer paper" versus "pro comic inking paper", or Crayola colour pencils versus Prismacolour versus Polychromos (my faves! :) ).
YESSSS!! Another video❤️❤️ Can’t stop watching!
I’m so happy that you uploaded 🤍 been going through a rough time and I needed this distraction right now 🙂
Hello! 😁I hope you’re having a good day and get the chance to respond to this message. I’ve been a fan of yours for years now (I started watching your videos when i was in elementary school and i’m a junior in high school now) and I always admired what you did. I’ve been thinking of posting my art or starting a youtube channel and I’m wondering if you could give me some tips and or answer any of these questions. (: Thank you in advance , even if you don’t respond, for the inspiration. 1-I know you keep your identity and your personal life off the internet but had anyone in your life found out about your channel? Did they threaten to expose you? I’m scared of the response and some one holding that over my head. 2-How did you family react? Mine wouldn’t be the most supportive and I was wondering if you dealt with a similar reaction. And if you did, how did you deal with it? Thank you so much and thanks for just uploading your videos and sharing your art with the world! 💜
Hi Marina! I really hope you end up choosing to start a channel! The world needs more art in it, and I know you could play a hand in that!
1. I was worried about that too at times. I've chosen to keep my personal life separately and although there were times I almost changed that, lately i've been very happy with that decision. No one has ever threatened to expose me. Even when I met a large number of other Art TH-camrs at Vidcon everyone was very supportive. I think when it comes down to it, you can't expect that kindess. So be prepared to be 'exposed' but always be kind and appreciative to those who understand.
2. I didn't think my family would be supportive, but they all have been. So i can't speak on the opposite of that. But you might be surprised how easy it is to win over your family when you tell them how much something means to you.
My biggest suggestion for starting a channel is to try and find a schedule that works for you and STICK WITH IT. If once a month works, do that. If twice a month works, do that. But whatever you choose, do your best not to miss your own deadlines. Consistency is what encourages people to subscribe because they can expect more content in the future.
Best of luck! 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles Thank you so much for the reply!! This helps a lot and I’ll let you know when I post my first video (: Thank you again and I love the video
I would love to see a new YT channel! Reply to this comment when you post!
After seeing all the colors in this video and the last one it inspired me to make a gay pride character with a rainbow color scheme and his name is Roy G. Biv. So now I have another OC to add to all the other hundreds! 😂

Currently TH-cam kinda my job. The lockdowns are a big reason. But before that I was working two other jobs. 😅

If you want softer colored pencils you can soak them in water for like 5 min and then set then on some paper towels and let them soak the excess water in and wallah softer color pencils.

Be good to your wrists, please! Artists and craftspeople often overlook hand care. Stretching your wrists every 30 minutes can do wonders for them. Your doctor can recommend stretches, and TH-cam has many qualified physical therapists and doctors with stretch tutorials. Awesome art as per usual!
OMG THOSE NAILS ARE SO PRETTY

I want you to know that Jesus is real. He can heal the broken, repair what was lost, and so much more. God is not done with you. Don't give up on God because he's not giving up on you. He loves you more than you could imagine. Give all your pain to him and make him your Lord and savior. God bless.
The return of the maggots! I have had the same issues with colored pencils but I have found if you start with a couple of thin layers of the colored pencil before you use pressure it helps and you don't have to press as hard for color pay off.
I like the green-blue and the green one! The characters with those two colors turned out so cute!
Already pulled in with the Swan Princess reference. Love it!
