Plot twist: Holbein appears here 😂
Oh gosh...that would definitely be a good plot twist though. 😂
@@ColorfullyOptimistic well, it happened with the Pro color! Maybe someday the Holbeins will find their use for something you color! 😁
Great video. I enjoyed it.
Holy Wow, the pages you showed that you colored are just AMAZING!!!!
Awe you are too kind. Thank you.
Your coloring is so perfect!
Lots of practice. Anyone can get there my dear -- just keep coloring :)
Kori your coloring is absolutely gorgeous. I believe you could make any pencil wonderful. I have all these pencils and the higher end pencils. I love all my pencils. Thank you for sharing. I truly enjoy your channel. Happy coloring!
Awe thank you so much you are too sweet
I love the Pablos, I had a good experience with them in a Rita Berman book, they laid down so smooth, almost like ink! Had to keep a really sharp point to get the best out of them. I coveted them a long time, and they're up there with the Polys for me. Love your manner and such informative narration, thank you!
Awe thank you so much
Pablos are my favorite. I'm so glad they were mentioned.
They are definitely a fun set.
Great sets. I could be very happy with just the Derwent range of pencils, but even happier with Polychromos and Prisma and Caran d'Arch ranges thrown in as well. Budget pencils can be fun, but the more expensive ones can be a joy. As I watched I was using Derwent Procolour, Coloursoft and Artist pencils to colour a floral picture in Colouring Heaven's Botanics Collection. They love that paper. It's good to have favourites. We get very familiar with the colours and what we can achieve with them. But I'm still loving my small set challenges. 18 Pablos started me off on my Pablo journey. I did a double page spread in Secret Garden with those. I often use 36 pencil sets and since I was given them on my birthday at the start of May, I'm loving the 12 set of Blackwing pencils. Just 12, and 1 is silver! But I can make so many different shades and tones with them. I just add in a white from somewhere else. Plus I have to loan in any skin tones I need. But still, awesome pencils. Great quality. I wish they made a 36 set.
Derwent really does make some awesome pencils. Oh yeah, if you enjoy layering, you can create your own color range and never have to worry about purchasing a large set again.
Hi Kori! Lovely sets of pencils. I have Prismas and enjoy them So much. Your coloring makes all these sets look awesome!! 🙋
Yay prisma!
I really love Prisma. Polychromos are also nice to use, I love how the feel on cardstock
Oh yeah both are great on smooth cardstock!
I love inktense and graphitint. I can't wait to get the new 28 set.
Graphitint are a favvvvvvv here too
Thanks for a great video Kori, I also love my Prismas your coloring is so beautiful 🌸💕🥰
Awe thank you so much 😊
😊❤😢😊😮😮😅😊😊😊😊😢😂😊😢😊😅😂😢😂😂🎉☺🤩🙃🙊💙🤪😗💚💝💝☺🤫🙊💝💗🤫🙊🙊
Thanks for sharing your top 5 with us. 😊 I would rather spend more than try to use the cheaper ones and struggle with what kind of look i am after. 😊
Prismas and polys are my #1 and 2 also. Thanks for sharing
I just love them.
And here’s me, a Crayola fan 🥰
But Derwent has my heart (and nose, I love their smell) (DDP, Graphitints and Inktense)
There is nothing wrong with loving Crayola at all. I actually gave them a good first impression video awhile back. They're excellent! I just don't reach for them as often.
If you can't find good use of the prisma neons, let me tell you they are beautiful in a Sunset scene mixed with other colors. Also, try using them as an under painting on bright red and orange flowers, just go lightly. But Mixing them into a dusky sunset is my favorite. Loved seeing your favorite list Kori. Tfs
I agree! Also,I use the neons to color suns in my everyday journal. I really like the metallics too! The gold in particular is my most favorite gold of all my pencil sets because it is so realistic, so close to what real gold looks like. :)
I can use them, I just don't enjoy using them :). I think that is the difference with them. I have tried underpaintings and the sunset, but I feel I get a better color using the other pencils. However, there is nothing wrong with the neons or metallics, and quite a few people enjoy them, so I can see why companies include them :)
I contacted Blick about a week ago about when they may have the new Inktense in the open stock.. was told they are thinking by the end of this month or sometime in June.. so will be checking back....love the Inktense.. and enjoy coloring on fabric with them..
Yea they had told me end of July, another person they'd never have them, then I called again and was told August. So....Hopefully this year 😆 🤣
My very first set was the 150 Prismas and I loved them! But then I didn't use them for awhile and when i opened my case they were all cracked! Every single one~and from top to bottom, on both sides of each pencil! I know adore my Polychromos, Pablos, and Holbeins. My Prismas just sit~I may give them to my local charity art store. Awesome video! 😁
Hmmm how were they stored? That’s really odd.
Hi kori lovely video my favourite is my prismacolor then polychromes, luminance Holbeins black widows
I do love my Lumis, but they just don't get as much love.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic the same with mine
I love Pablo’s they don’t get enough credit
They were a surprising pencil since I hated them the first time haha
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I fell in love with them immediately I tried them. Probably because I like a harder pencil and I love to layer.
I find it interesting which pencils work for each person. I have had only bad experience with Prisma so am surprised to find them as your number 1 but happy that they work for someone. Your colouring is always beautiful.
We are all unique in how we use pencils too, so it can be hard to compare a pencil, and makes it worse if you had a bad experience with one! But yeah, Prismas are my go-to lol
Thanx Kori!
Thank you so much for watching!
I love the neons and wish they would come out with a full neon set. It would be nice to keep them separate. The same goes for metallic. I would love to see a complete metallic line as a separate line. I love my old copper pencil. The new bronze just isn't the same. The old copper must have had actual copper in it. When I pulled it out after years of storage, it was tarnished. Sharpened it, and the copper color underneath was still intact, so, patina over time is actually possible. Wish I had purchased more back then.
I mean I just did a video on the Kalour full metallic pencils. 50 metallic ready to color with!
Polychromos are my favourites, then it’s Luminance, Derwent Drawing, Procolour, and probably Inktense with an honourable mention for Chromaflow. I’d love to like my budget pencils more, but I don’t reach for them that often.
I just don't reach for my budget sets either. Lumis would be up there if I didn't cringe every time I sharpened them lol
Hi Kori. I’ve been coloring for a year and I found you fairly early in my journey. You gave me the confidence to color hair. That flick technique is brilliant! I can’t imagine coloring hair any other way. I love your videos. You enable me quite frequently. I bought the procolour recently because of you and I absolutely LOVE them for hair! So far I’ve done a blond and a green hair color with them but I’m excited to use them more. Thank you for all your hard work! I love your channel you have such positive vibes 🌟
Flick therapy :) Thank you so much for all of your sweet words here, truly. I really appreciate it!💜
I have not tried the Derwent Pro Color yet, but their Studio line is very nice for detailed drawing and work *very* well on black paper. My set is probably 20 years old, but I can't imagine the formula has changed all that much.
The Derwent Studio are the same formula as the Derwent Artists, and I have the Artists. They aren't bad pencils at all, but don't get as much use from me as they probably should
Pro color are too skinny . My arthritic hands find them painful to hold.
Beautiful pencils
Thank you so much 😃
I need to try the Black Widow for hair. I have not used mine in a very long time. My top 5 faves are, despite expensive, my Lummies, Lightfast, Holbein, Prismacolor and Inktense. Inktense are the only ones I do not use much! Shame on me! LOL
Those are pricey lol. But, that's what's great about art -- you can use what you like, prefer, and don't mind spending on and whatever brings you joy!
I love Prismacolor too, i got them here in México and as you said,no problems with'em, i have bought 4 sets, they are perfect buying in oficial Places.
Yeah as long you buy them from somewhere legitimate, they are just fine. I've been using them for years now.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic totally agree,they are perfect.
Such a great video. Thanks for sharing! Do you remember where you got your Prismacolor swatch chart? I love the way it’s organized.
I been wondering that too❤
That's the color family chart offered by Colour with Claire on her Kofi.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic -thanks!
Can you recommend any budget friendly colored pencils?
Hi Kori. Thank you for all of your knowledge it really helps in my colouring endeavours. I primarily colour with Poly's which are by my side continuously as well as my Caran D'ache Pablos. I do have some Derwent Lightfast and Procolour but not in full sets. So they tend to stay packed in a container. Sad to say but most of the other brands I have are very rarely touched. A quick question for you if you don't mind. Have you recorded a video on colouring the skin and hair with the Pablos? I was looking here on TH-cam and can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.
I don't think I've done an official video -- instead, they were WIP Wednesdays I think. I might have to add that to my list.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic Thank you Kori for potentially adding it to your list.
Prismacolor are my favorite too. They are not too precious to me and are the only pencil I have a full set of with plenty of spare pencils. I have many Derwent and Faber Castell pencils but not full sets. I use them every day every way. I only have a few Caran d'ache pencils.
Yea I just can’t get enough of my Prismacolor
Hi, new subscriber. Love your channel. May I ask where you found your spare prismacolor caddy?
It was a utensil caddy from Hobby Lobby! I love it.
Would you be able to do a tutorial on the best techniques for coloring each type of greyscale page ? Like dark vs medium vs light greyscale?
Yes, I could do that. What exactly are you hoping to learn? Just how to cover the grayscale? If you let me know what you are hoping to learn out of the tutorial that will help me create the content :)
@@ColorfullyOptimistic yes, exactly! How to cover each greyscale. I just finished the first light greyscale I’ve ever done and I’ve never done any greyscale before (idk if kerby rosanes books count, that’s the only adult coloring experience I have). I’m pretty happy with my completed page but I’m not super wowed by it. I just don’t know where I went wrong. I was outlining a lot of the images on the page because I felt like it was looking kind of “blah” and “flat” but I wasn’t sure that I really loved outlining everything either. It was kind of a trial and error process because I just kept watching different videos as I was working on it and trying different techniques. Would I be able to send you a picture of it?
Thanks for Sharing
Thank you for watching!
@@ColorfullyOptimistic Your Welcome
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed listening to your opinions regarding each set. On another note, does your husband support your craft? Mine is always saying, “do you really need more supplies?” LOL.
Just tell your husband, “yes, in fact I do need these supplies.” Especially if he’s not laying out any of his money for them, is it really any of his business? My hubs has made those kind of remarks too, but not as much anymore. And I do fine art and paper-crafting too, so I have a LOT of supplies, but I’ve been doing all those things for a good while and he knows I use the supplies I buy (maybe not ALL of them as much as I could, but he doesn’t have to know that 🤫. ) To lessen his concern about how much you’re spending, you may want to show him the work you do and maybe he could see what you’re spending your money on and explain how important it is for you…how great it makes you feel or how it relaxes you, etc. Hope this helps. 😊
Well, I think it is different for him because I have a TH-cam channel and he knows I review the pencils I get on my channel. So, often he doesn't say much lol
My favourite pencils are very similar to yours. For different purposes I use derwent lightfast, luminance & prismacolour. I don't mind paying a bit extra for good quality. Being able to buy open stock is important to me. I probably don't colour as much as you so I don't chew through many pencils.
Open stock is definitely something important to me, but that's just because some colors I use so frequently.
I really like Pablo in lulu mayos colouring books 😅
Oooh I don't have any of hers, but might have to try it
Hi kori lovely sets of pencils … I have a few of what you have mentioned here.. I love the polychromos I only have a small set but wanting to buy the 120 set I Leo have the inktense full 100 set which I love so much .. I also would love the full set of prisma colours but I’m wary as to where I should purchase as I’ve heard there are fakes going about .. thank you for this upload 🥰
Well, I usually get my open stock at blick for Prismacolor, and yes there are a lot of poor quality ones sold out there. They aren't necessarily fakes. In fact, they are ones from the manufacturer, but were rejects still allowed on the market.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic aww thank you kori for this I will have a look then I was just a bit wary as I heard there was some fakes about .. here I go a hunting 🤣🤣🤣.. 🥰
I have never used Prismacolor....I know, shock, horror!! 😂 But they are so horrendously expensive here in the UK. Great video but I was a bit distracted by your beautiful nails. X
Ah yes, in the UK they are VERY expensive so I totally get that.
Im waiting for the Brutfuner 120 set to come back as well
Yeah I was surprised to see them gone. Hope they aren't discontinuing them. It was always a risk as they were a budget pencil, but still
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I know everytime they take them away I wonder the same thing.. they're a good pencil so hopefully not
Hi kori! Loved the video! My top 5 are my star joy golds, my Polychromos, my black widows, my prismacolors & my brutfuner squares & a bonus would be my schpierr farbens. This was very insightful Thanks!
Ah yes the SF are a great pencil! I don't mind the Star Joys, but I don't use them as much as I probably should. Too many pencils argh
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I really like using the star joy golds and SF pencils together on Amazon paper I found that both perform very well on Amazon paper! I’ve done some beautiful pages with them in my coco wyo books!
Yay pencils
Thank you for watching!
Can we get a tutorial on how you did that really light blonde hair?
Yes I can do that
I’m so confused by derwent chromaflow coloursoft and procolour. I use prismas 100% of time but wat to try something different either thinking luminance or one of the derwent brands I like wax based tbh. Wish derwent would sell a box with all the types of pencils with all the colors.
What is confusing about those three lines? Maybe I can help clear it up. They are pretty distinctive for what each offers, but I know if you aren't familiar with them they can be confusing.
If a manufacturer would build a pencil with a prisma thick smooth core and use a thicker wood, said manufacturer would sell billions of pencils and name their price.
agreed
💗💜💗
Can i ask where you found your Black Widow family chart, or is that your creation?
No, Colour with Claire has that on her Kofi shop and it's lovely!
Where do you get those color charts you use to swatch all the colors ???
Various places really lol
@@ColorfullyOptimistic lol ok thanks 😊
I haven't been successful getting Prismacolor from Blick (local store) in good condition and selection. Shipping is crazy when you buy just pencils.
That's crazy! I'm sorry to hear that.
I went to Brutfuners page and I was so bummed because I didn’t see the square pencils at all anywhere.
I feel like such an idiot for not ordering more right from the start.
Yeah I'm curious where they are right now and if they will be back or not. I sure hope they didn't axe them, but this happens a lot with those no name cheap budget ones. Brutfuner has sooooo many varieties but isn't the actual company that makes them.
I don’t see a link to the pencil case. I’d like to know how many it holds.
It says 480, but I have more than that in it. amzn.to/3qjCUKx I also have this other one that holds 420 and is cheaper. I plan to put my watercolor pencils in it soon. amzn.to/3MOSKUX
What are your must have colors in Derwent inktense for a person who buys open stock?
Oh! I plan to create a video for that. I was asked to so it is on my list to research and create an open stock must buy
Awesome looking forward to it. Thank you
The hardest thing for me was buying a couple for trees, grass, sky and coming home to find out they didn’t match. I couldn’t even find a video on this so I had to watch videos and write down the color matches I liked. Then I had to learn with two pencils before I moved to three. I hope I’m making sense.
Meera ❤😊😊❤😅😊❤😅😊😊😊😊😊❤😅😅❤😊😊😂😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😅😊😊😊❤😊
Thanks btw.. ur neon challenge was way better than i expected. Especially since ur not a fan of neon.. i dont like neons or metallics.. esp metallics! THEY SUCK!!
I'm surprised myself to be honest lol
@@ColorfullyOptimistic girl you are talented.
Prismacolor are the same no matter where you buy them. They are all made by the same company.
Well, yes, that is true, but the quality is not. Some of their "rejects" that shouldn't be sold are purchased/retrieved and resold, which is why there are a lot of bad batches out there. Same goes with their quality control. Prisma doesn't always have the best QC practices, BUT there are resellers, like Blick, that make sure they aren't selling defective ones. That was what I meant. Obviously, they are all made by the same company, but where you buy them can impact the quality of what you receive.
told you you would like pablos
You know nothing! JK...you were right. There, I said it. Happy now?
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I am actually...... Muhahaha
Do you ever use budget pencils? No everyone can afford the pencils highlighted in your video. Your artwork is beautiful.
I'm more than aware of that :). I have videos using budget sets and even a video on my favorite budget sets :)
@@ColorfullyOptimisticI’ll have to look for them!
I've never managed to spot a new upload before i get a notification. 😂 Looking foward to watching! (Prismacolor currently make my wallet cry with about 2,60 per pencil. 🥲) I wish I had your Prisma stash! haha
Where are you buying them for $2.60 a piece? LOL well, I go through my stash quickly, so not sure it is a good thing
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I buy from various German online retailers since I live in Germany. Coloring has become a pricey hobby since I started back in 2015. 😂
