I think over time, I will try each of these. You might try sketching in colored pens and watercolor if paper will stand it. Colored pencils still favorite but add mixed media. Like also the pixel
Fun fact about the blue, it comes from the non-photo colour blue sketches which don't show up when photocopied, allowing artists to scan their work without the sketch lines!
I love that this still works today. Scan it in, pull out all the blue in Photoshop, and you're good. It's also good for getting rid of blue lines from notebook paper
For those who are wondering where to get non copy pencils or leads, Pentel Multi 8 comes with 2 non copy leads one in red (diazo non copy) and other in blue (PPC non Copy). The leads are 2mm and you can buy them separately as refills instead of buying another pencil cartridge if you already own one.
Which explains why a lot of artists sketch in that color! I've heard about the non photo blue before but I'm just now realizing that is why a lot of artists use it for sketching! Before I just assumed that it was a personal preference, and I guess it still could be considered a personal preference, but now I know the reason behind it! Thanks for sharing! 😊
I just love artists supporting artists even if it's in small ways - wearing tenhuns shirt and using jazzas art box! Just love how wholesome the TH-cam art community is !!
My tip for alcohol markers is to use water-based medium for line work, and make sure it's dry. Vice versa if you're using 💧, use alcohol-based fineliners. Using same fineliners with your colouring medium will just try to blend and smear I find. Fantastic job on these btw. Enjoyed this
You know you really have a pop art with the completed challenge...with all the different styles placed next to each other. I love that! The color pencil art is my favorite but I'd love to see an impressionistic version. Fun!
Really liked the pixel art piece. Definitely do a black marker challenge. I would aldo like to see you master hair and fur then maybe do a different ways to colour/approach hair/fur study.
Another great video! I loved the pixel art and I loved the pop art...in just the black and white! I also would like to see the typography done with different colors for the words instead of just in black and white. I think that would be beautiful.
That was one of my favorite too! I love pixel art in all its forms... but I am a fiber artist, so a lot of what I do is piecing "pixels" together in one form or another.
My recommendation with the word drawing as someone who has done a massive one for an assignment (poster sized) is the key to make the shadows look like shadows is either use different tools like pen and pencil in the lighter areas or to overlap the words in the shadows
Went into this thinking the pixel art would be my favorite, but the typography blew me away. Very surprised on how pretty the ballpoint pen came out. I love all of them. The colored pencil one of course will win hands down, but the others outshine them for the creativity. Thank you for sharing your art
Your brain is so creative. After watching your livestream and learning so much about your history with art, I've been a bit motivated to whip out my pencils and a coloring book and sit down with them :) Even though I haven't picked them up, I approached even picking up pencils differently than I did before, going in with a lighter hand and embracing a more "realistic" coloring style with shading vs just blocking in color like I did before. I'm having a lot of fun curled up in bed with a tray table and a pile of art supplies in the evenings 😊
The Pixel art. It's not normally my thing, but I think it's the lack of any harsh lines/lines in general, and the colours you chose are just so soft and pretty
Wow, this was insane, my hand is cramping for you. I did something similar when I tested out all my art mediums with a teddy bear. I didn't even *know* how to do detail work at the time, I was just testing how the pens & pencils worked on the paper. Very fun! Some of them were caran d'ache.
Well that's dedication, for sure. My favourite is the scetch style. I like how pixel art turned out and the coloured oencil, of course, is the classic.
I love how daring you are! While you were about half way through, I wished you would do one in the style of 1970’s concert posters. Then you did pop art!!!! That one and typography are my two favorites! Thanks for doing this! So much fun!
Loved (in order) colored pencil, ballpoint pen, pixel art ❤❤❤ these are my favorite 3, but I must say that I loved them all. What a brilliant idea of a video, it made me see it until the end. Congrats Sarah 👏👏👏
Wow! The effort and time put on the color pencils was totally worth it!!! It’s AMAZING 🤯✨ Hope this inspires more people to take time to make their own creations :3
What a cool challenge! Colored pencils and typography are my favorite with pixel a close third ;) but I think they all turned out really good! This was an absolute joy to watch 😊
Absolutely amazing. All of them are so very different and unique. I love love the popart and the pixel art one since they took you out of your comfort zone and pushed you. For the popart. I don't use markers, but I use waterproof ink with a old fashion Inkpen and thin brush. Let them dry for a while or use a drying tool before going in. Otherwise the alcohol lifts it off.
Colored pencils are my favorite go to medium BUT I really liked the pop art & im thinking about trying it . If I do I’ll post a copy on here . Thanks this was fun
My three favorites were the typography, stencil, and popart. The pop art one was cool! I want to try the typography one on a simpler page in one of my books or maybe like a background with different fonts and thicknesses. And the pixel one would be fun to try too. Thanks for inspiring me! I have this kawaii space coloring book that I think would be perfect for testing some of these out 😄👍
My favorite was the pop art then the ballpoint pen then the color Pencil but they where all amazing it was hard to pick my favorite thats why i picked 3😊❤
i love the colored pencils the most , but i love the variety . this video is a burst of fresh creativity . Colorfully Optimistic channel , has a whole playlist about coloring hair if you feel like making it easy on yourself for Once . 😘
You are such an amazing artist and the fact that you conquer ur fears and are not afraid to admit your faults is amazing not everyone can do that in fact i cant do that. And a thank you for leading me into the artists world
Can I first just say you're amazing! I'm not sure how I found your page, but I'm glad I did, now subbed! My faves were the coloured pencils, and the pixel art pages. 😍
I like the previous suggested name Holly. I think that fits her perfect. I as for my favorite, I really love the pen drawing that you first did. I think it turned out really cool, and did some thing I want to try now. I was surprised at all the variation you were able to achieve using just a ballpoint pen! ♥️♥️♥️
So much fun to watch. I love them all but my favorite is a toss up between the colored pencils and pop art. The pixel one would be fun to try but no way I'd draw all those cubes. Haahaa.
Really a cool experiment! Hard to pick one I like best! I guess my least favorite one is the one with all the words all over it - cool concept by using bigger/smaller words to create the shadows. I've never seen pixel art done before so that was really fun to watch you do!
Ahhhhh Sarah how could you make us choose?! I can’t, i honestly enjoy them ALL! Please do more of this i cant wait to see what else you come up with. The pop art might be the first one I try ❤
I really love doing this because sometimes I can't choose the color scheme because the way you color something sets the personality and feel, theme, and sorry for the whole character, object, or subject. Giving a girl blonde hair or red hair, or what skin tone you give them can really change the overall feel of the entire subject.
That‘s awesome! The colored pencil of cause is impressing. But out of all of them I would choose pop art, pixel art and ballpoint pen as my favorites. Thanks so much for doing this. I would love to see you try out more styles.
I think the pixel art and the pop art are my favourites! I’d love to see you take on stippling - I swear it doesn’t take as long as you think.. still takes a while though 😅
They are all very beautiful. Colored Pencils, Pop Art, and Pixel Art are my personal favorites. I've actually never seen the typography style before and I think it's very cool and creative.
That looks like a W&N fineliner that I had and I remember they would smudge when I go over them with an alcohol marker shortly after doing the lines. I noticed that when I do the lines in the evening and then continue with the markers the next day, it was just fine.
Prismacolor has a manga set with bullet tip and brush tips markers that are black and for detail. I love that set. It also has red and blue Col-Erase pencils and graphite sketch pencils
I think pop art is my fave page too!
I think over time, I will try each of these. You might try sketching in colored pens and watercolor if paper will stand it. Colored pencils still favorite but add mixed media. Like also the pixel
Fun fact about the blue, it comes from the non-photo colour blue sketches which don't show up when photocopied, allowing artists to scan their work without the sketch lines!

@@nywf1824 You can also get the col erase pencils in different colors, including the non photo blue
Which explains why a lot of artists sketch in that color! I've heard about the non photo blue before but I'm just now realizing that is why a lot of artists use it for sketching! Before I just assumed that it was a personal preference, and I guess it still could be considered a personal preference, but now I know the reason behind it! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Video idea: colour the same colouring page in a Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter palette?
Love your videos always inspire me for my next drawing ❤
I just love artists supporting artists even if it's in small ways - wearing tenhuns shirt and using jazzas art box! Just love how wholesome the TH-cam art community is !!

Fantastic job on these btw. Enjoyed this
The pixel art was my favorite one!
Wow the pixel art was amazing 😮
So many different styles! I really like the pixel art! 👾
My favorite? Easy, all of them - each for a different reason.
Good job, and lots of fun to watch. 👏
You know you really have a pop art with the completed challenge...with all the different styles placed next to each other. I love that! The color pencil art is my favorite but I'd love to see an impressionistic version. Fun!

This should be a series! It was very fun to watch. You did great on each style!
The pixel art was my favorite. You did an awesome job with them all. I'd love to see more of the typography style too
That was one of my favorite too! I love pixel art in all its forms... but I am a fiber artist, so a lot of what I do is piecing "pixels" together in one form or another.
YES please do a black pen/fine liner/marker review!! I love the pop art, stencil, and of course color pencil ❤
The Pixel Art one (and all of them) is AMAZING!
My recommendation with the word drawing as someone who has done a massive one for an assignment (poster sized) is the key to make the shadows look like shadows is either use different tools like pen and pencil in the lighter areas or to overlap the words in the shadows
Love your ten hundred tshirt! Also, loving the different colouring styles.
Pixel and typography are my favorites!
I came here to say the same thing! Love the shirt and love the video!
Went into this thinking the pixel art would be my favorite, but the typography blew me away. Very surprised on how pretty the ballpoint pen came out. I love all of them. The colored pencil one of course will win hands down, but the others outshine them for the creativity. Thank you for sharing your art
I loved them all, but my favorite is the color pencil one… you do very nice work!!!
My first choice is the colored pencil , then the pixel and last the pop art. Love this video and challenge. Have a great week.😊
Love them all but my favs are the coloured pencils because I love the colours, then pop art and then the pixel art. This was such an interesting video

This is inspiring to hear! I can’t wait to hear how you go!
The Pixel art. It's not normally my thing, but I think it's the lack of any harsh lines/lines in general, and the colours you chose are just so soft and pretty
I can’t choose a favorite. They are all beautiful! Great job
The pop art page really stands out! This was really interesting, love the variety of styles you tried!
I love the pixel art
Wow, this was insane, my hand is cramping for you.

I love pop art and, of course, colored pencils. This was fun!!!!
Loved (in order) colored pencil, ballpoint pen, pixel art ❤❤❤ these are my favorite 3, but I must say that I loved them all.
What a brilliant idea of a video, it made me see it until the end. Congrats Sarah 👏👏👏
These are really good! I think my favorite is the pixel art one
All of them are beautiful. As a challenge I would say pixel art. I ❤ it! Great work 👌
I love the pixel-art style the most, but they are all awesome!
Wow! The effort and time put on the color pencils was totally worth it!!! It’s AMAZING 🤯✨
Hope this inspires more people to take time to make their own creations :3
I liked the Pop Art the best, then came the colour pencils. Thank you for your comparisons.
I love the pixel art one so much that I want to have a go!
I love the coloured pencils and pop art one too.
Stained glass would be awesome to try too.
my favorites are the pixel art and realistic ones. great challenge!
I like how open you are to all the art styles and just flow into them as you get creative.❤❤
Wow this was cool I love the pixel pop art and of course the colored pencils. Hard choice I loved all of it.
My favourite is pixel... but all are just gorgeous ❤❤❤
We did this challange in art class many years ago. Long before TH-cam. But, still a fun video to watch. Your colouring is is amazing.
Pencil and Pop Art are my favorites. Great video, btw.
Amazing! My favorite the colored pencils!!!
Love them all ! Thank you Sarah !

I really liked the pixel art one - I think that’s my favorite.
Love this idea! Several of the styles surprised me at how much I liked the end results
Thank you so much!
The pixel art is my favourite, the scarf is gorgeous!
Absolutely amazing. All of them are so very different and unique. I love love the popart and the pixel art one since they took you out of your comfort zone and pushed you.
For the popart. I don't use markers, but I use waterproof ink with a old fashion Inkpen and thin brush. Let them dry for a while or use a drying tool before going in. Otherwise the alcohol lifts it off.
Love the TenHun shirt ❤ One of the best TH-cam creators
I really like the pixel and typography pieces. Very cool!
The ballpoint pen was incredible. The detail you could get with the single colour
i really liked the pixel art and the typography style because it is very unusual, i will try it myself,, my two favourites, thanks dear
Colored pencils are my favorite go to medium BUT I really liked the pop art & im thinking about trying it . If I do I’ll post a copy on here . Thanks this was fun
Very fun! My fav was the colored pencil one but also loved the typography and pop art. They were all cool.
Love how the typography one turned out. That is my favorite.
Definitely the last one but all of them were great.
Also loving then Ten Hun tee!
The pop art and the colored pencil. The bullpen was awesome too well we can sit like you your excellent in what you do❤
Out of all of them, I like the coloured pencil, the pop art version, and surprisingly the pixelated version too.
My three favorites were the typography, stencil, and popart. The pop art one was cool! I want to try the typography one on a simpler page in one of my books or maybe like a background with different fonts and thicknesses. And the pixel one would be fun to try too.

Love the pixel art style
My favorite was the pop art then the ballpoint pen then the color Pencil but they where all amazing it was hard to pick my favorite thats why i picked 3😊❤
I am OBSESSED with that pixel art page!
At first I wasn't sure how the pixel art would turn out, but that's my favourite one!
I'm obsessed with the pixel art one, it turned out amazing!!
i love the colored pencils the most , but i love the variety . this video is a burst of fresh creativity . Colorfully Optimistic channel , has a whole playlist about coloring hair if you feel like making it easy on yourself for Once . 😘
I really like the pixel art as well! That’s one I really want to try myself. 🎨🖌️
You are such an amazing artist and the fact that you conquer ur fears and are not afraid to admit your faults is amazing not everyone can do that in fact i cant do that.
And a thank you for leading me into the artists world
I luvd all of them as they were so different from each other. Helped me think of different ways of looking at the same thing. Thank you Sarah 😊xx
Can I first just say you're amazing! I'm not sure how I found your page, but I'm glad I did, now subbed! My faves were the coloured pencils, and the pixel art pages. 😍
Thanks for subbing!
I love the pixel and typography ones. Its a very creative and artistic way to think on the right side of the brain.
Love the Colored pencil one the most, runner-up is the pixel art that was really cool.
Yes do it again with gouache, water colours, acrylics.
Great idea!
Enjoyed this! Try using the Copic fineliners. They are refillable and nibs replace like the big markers. They won't bleed with alcohol markers.
So excited to watch!
I like the previous suggested name Holly. I think that fits her perfect. I as for my favorite, I really love the pen drawing that you first did. I think it turned out really cool, and did some thing I want to try now. I was surprised at all the variation you were able to achieve using just a ballpoint pen! ♥️♥️♥️
So much fun to watch. I love them all but my favorite is a toss up between the colored pencils and pop art. The pixel one would be fun to try but no way I'd draw all those cubes. Haahaa.
I love the pixel art!!!! The pop art was a blast from the past for me! I loved the 70s romance comics.
My favourites are the pop art and the colouring pencils.
Pop art is my favorite, though I am surprised by how much I liked your pen version and your word version. Thank you!
This is the kind of content I love. The coloured pencil drawing was my favourite.
Really a cool experiment! Hard to pick one I like best! I guess my least favorite one is the one with all the words all over it - cool concept by using bigger/smaller words to create the shadows. I've never seen pixel art done before so that was really fun to watch you do!
Ahhhhh Sarah how could you make us choose?! I can’t, i honestly enjoy them ALL! Please do more of this i cant wait to see what else you come up with. The pop art might be the first one I try ❤

Giving a girl blonde hair or red hair, or what skin tone you give them can really change the overall feel of the entire subject.
They're all great, I think I like the pixel art best.🤩
I really like the Coloured pencils, Pop Art and the Pixel pages, Thank you for your videos, I definitely think you should do a black marker challenge
That‘s awesome! The colored pencil of cause is impressing. But out of all of them I would choose pop art, pixel art and ballpoint pen as my favorites. Thanks so much for doing this. I would love to see you try out more styles.
I think the pixel art and the pop art are my favourites! I’d love to see you take on stippling - I swear it doesn’t take as long as you think.. still takes a while though 😅
Stippling is a great idea!
My favourite style you did is the typography one. 😊👍🏻 and a close 2nd was the coloured pencil one…. 😊👍🏻
But you did great on each one. 😊👍🏻
They are all very beautiful.
Colored Pencils, Pop Art, and Pixel Art are my personal favorites.
I've actually never seen the typography style before and I think it's very cool and creative.
I loved the pixels the most. Part of it is the color palette you chose, but I also love the texture. I cross-stitch, so maybe that’s why.
I was so surprised at how much I liked the typography one! It was so interesting. Fun challenge and I hope you do it again!🧡🖤🧡
Popart and colored pencils - I can't choose! Loved this, Sarah!!! :-)
Sarah this was really fun! I need to try this 😄 great video thank you
