- This is my review and comparison of three art subscription boxes. I hope that it helps you decide which one to get.
In four days, I got August SketchBox, July ScrawlrBox, then August ArtSnacks. I had done an unboxing of all three of them and thought it would be good to compare them.
At the bottom will be the price comparisons.

Hello!
Thank You for the feedback. I did swatch and do the artwork in previous videos of the unboxing. They are linked in the description.
I'll try to put a clip in future ones or show the artwork in the future.
The only way I can use them (water and alcohol based) together would be with an isolation coat in between
Nice review. I get sketch box for a little over a year so I was thinking if trying art snacks. I'm very interested in your info. Well done.
That's exactly what I love about sketch box, trying stuff I've never experienced!
Thank you! I really wanted to put comparison video out there with what I wanted from a box, because all the comparisons I was finding only talked about the monetary side. I have loved SketchBox so far and it pushes me out of my box.
I like the colors of the stabilo pens you got, mine were in the pink/red/orange range, plus the extra stabilo they sent me was the exact same color as one of the ones in the packaged set. So basically I didn't really get an extra one for buying the plus box. I cancelled my subscription, 2 months was enough to know their boxes are poorly put together.
I would have loved to have the orange! 😍It is my favorite color. The blue was very versatile. That really irks me that they duplicated one of your colors. It really shows they aren't paying close attention. I'm sorry that happened to you
Thank you for your video, I found it informative and easy watch. Keep being honest. Stay bless
Thank You so Much!
This is my last month with art snacks too. The boxes were disappointing and not well put together. I upgraded my sketch box subscription instead.
I totally agree with that! For some reason I am still tempted to get the October one, because it is my favorite month. I don't think it will go very well though.
They've given out those kingart pens before.. almost feels recently things have been tossed in artsnacks without thought.. certainly how I've felt for last 3 boxes. ( Haven't received auguat yet not looking forward to it.. sadly bought a year sub..but won't be renewing) As for scrawlr box.. in UK we have to pay vat ( value added tax) on everything so our prices are a bit inflated compared to usa
Wow, I had never heard of the VAT before. It never got brought up while I traveled to the UK. With knowing that, it makes it sound like ScrawlrBox is an amazing box to get.
It really does feel like they are thrown together. I'm sorry you are stuck with the year!
I feel like I want to see if they can improve next month, but I'll probably regret it.
The fineliners in the Artsnacks box don't look very high end to me. There are a lot of colours but I've found a similar looking set on on Amazon for £4.99 and you get more pens in them. Aside from the Copic pen, they just look like regular stationary items to me.
I completely agree! I have seen art that has used fine liners like that but I think it was better for stationary.
ArtSnacks is well known for giving everyone different colors; I did receive the same blue pack of Stabilos though. I think the point may be to get everyone out of their comfort zones and just try to make the colors they get work. And to give variety to their monthly challenge of creating something with only what's in the box. But that doesn't mean that those colors can't suck haha. They always send me blues.
I haven't tried Scrawlr box, but after watching several different unboxing videos, they didn't really have anything I was interested in.
(ETA)
I have subscribed to Sketchbox for over a year. I do like their boxes, though they do get somewhat repetitive. As for ArtSnacks... They always have the basic $25 box, which I have been tempted by. The big one is NOT worth it, I'm considering switching to the cheaper version or just unsubscribing. 🙂
I can understand the wanting variety, but there seems to be no thought process to it. I wouldn't complain if they seemed like they put some effort into it. I find creating color schemes and deciding on colors to be easy for my art, but I've seen combinations where I am stumped. July was basically a one color challenge for me.
I completely understand about Scrawlrbox. I feel like it does appeal to a more specific group.
Since I just started getting the boxes, I haven't found Sketchbox repetitive, nor in the unboxing videos I've watched. I'll be curious if they do become repetitive.
I am starting to see the big version really isn't worth it.
I've got some of that maribu alcohol ink. Haven't tried them yet.
You should! It was so much fun to work with.
