Thanks Franz for a really thoughtful video to combat all those other videos that go through very granular lists of "artist, must-have" gifts. I love blackwing pencils. I have tried to convert some artist friends to using them by buying them some, but I don't seem to have had many take them up. I don't know why because they are great. I've always wondered about the Leuchtturm sketchbooks so good to know they are good, although kind of pricey in Australia (but what isn't 🤨).
haha! I loved this video! Far better than any gift guide I've ever seen. As an artist I totally approve. Well, I'm not a fan of Blackwing, but I don't like working with graphite, I prefer drawing with colored pencils. I feel like I'm an exception in that regard.
Thanks! I get you, I also like to draw with colored pencils. Preferably with Faber Castell Polychromos or Caran D'Ache. Pencils I use for sketching, colored pencils I think are a great variety for things like figure drawing :)
@@franzfellner yes, of course, graphite pencils are the go to, and that's what I used most of my life, but somehow colored pencils have completely taken their place. I just like how they don't smudge and I prefer working in colors :)
I like your ideas and the video is very helpful, thank you! My favorite photo books are by Joel Meyerowitz and Willem Verbeeck and I highly recommend them 🩷 keep up the good work, your content is great :)
My favorite art gift was a subscription to Art Snacks, it was so fun to get random art supplies every month in the mail and i loved it

Great advice and ideas about selecting gifts. Especially the kitty cat 😅🎉❤
This is a very thoughtful video. There are some great ideas here. My husband buys me refills or replacements for my favorite products and I love it.
Just give a gift card for a high quality art supply store.
I like to choose my own materials!

Always love getting gifted a good quality sketchbook. But I also don’t want to own 500 sketchbooks by the time I’m 80 🤣
