  • My loose coloured pencils have been sitting prettily in a pot on my desk up till now, but it takes a while to find the right colour each time.
    I bought a new pencil case from Temu (with other designs available), and so have organised them, and made a swatch leaflet to go in the case.

    It's great to see where the different ranges of pencils dovetail together. Thanks Helen x

    Having everything organized like that and swatched to match sections is very soothing and something my brain appreciates. I should really get one of those cases to house my Inktense, Derwent Drawing and pastel/charcoal pencils. Then, a second case could be used for my polychromos. That would cover all of my pencils (and then some)!

      When I've got a full set of something, I'm happy to keep them in their tins, but the Luminance, I bought open stock, so needed something.

      @@helencryer That’s a very good point, the tin isn’t bad for my polychromos or inktense. I just need a better place to store my tins so they are more accessible and I’ll use them more often! I still haven’t tried the Luminance… I am trying not to order any open-stock for fear I’d “catch the bug” and feel the need to invest in them 😂

    I like that you mixed the brands together in color order. I have the same case but separated mine by brand (luminance, polychromous, prismacolor ) and then color number order. I might try your color method. The swatch sheet listings are perfect! You have great organizing ideas!

    Omg ... These coloured pencils are amazing to work with, but their price is amazing as well.😂 I use them only for special effects in my mixed media paintings. But I have to admit that they're my favourite ones. Derwent Drawing are also fantastic, but I miss certain colours. A big thank you for this video and for the inspiration! Enjoy creating with these precious guys!😊💞

    That’s a good idea making a booklet so the pages match! My case is bigger but it has pens and pencils and all sorts in it. I’ve organised mine so there are different “categories” in each page, but I can never remember which pens/pencils are in which zip, so I might have to copy your idea haha

    So tired of seeing everyone (yt channels) keep that factory white to Y, O R V B G, "browns",and black and white...that we all get in our pencils especially..... .browns are just dark oranges, reds, and ochre. And pinks are red and red-violet with white. We don't separate dark and light blues and greens now, do we? 😂

    • @helencryer
      @helencryer  ปีที่แล้ว

      It just feels harder to flow from brown through the other colours, if you have them come after the oranges, though in my watercolour swatch folder, I've lumped the browns and oranges together, and separated the blues into dark and light, and separated the greens into cools and warms.

      Well that's kind of going from lightest to darkest! If you're going with colour theory though, brown is a mix of yellow, red and blue, so doesn't just fall in the orange camp.
