Hi there! My name is Sofie and I just love drawing! I am a veterinarian by day, artist by night 😎 I mostly work in colored pencil, but occasionally I venture into different mediums.
On my channel I'll show you how I work on my drawings, including tips and tricks you can apply to your own artwork!
Come hang out with me! Facebook : facebook.com/eifosart/?fref=ts Instragram: instagram.com/eifosart/
The luminance are too soft for me and the barrel too thick. However the polychromos needs sooo many layers for realism. I know that supposed to be a good thing, but for my chronic pain in mijn hands it isn’t. Could the pablo be a good mix of those two?
Are de 10H to H too hard to use? I need some Hs to my colection for tecnical drawing(architecture drawing) but I am afraid they might just tear apart the paper😅. If they are good, I will get all the normal graduations (and the 6 black for good measure), along with faber castrl matt and/or caran dache graffwood (Plus some full pencils, faber castel big pencils and giant full pencils, maybe some derwents and all the soluble normal and colored graphite pencils I can get)
I see more two stars than three stars in the lightfast rating on these pencils in the sets. Polychromos is all three star in my 36 set with only one being a two star. I have their Supracolour watercolor pencils and most are 2 star in my set. You can get more three stars in a set of cheap Prismacolors. But I still want a set!!! LOL! I must be crazy.
¿Por qué esos colores tienen la marca de la bestia? Sólo por que están hechos donde el asís tiene como símbolo la Cruz de Malta? Entonces me voy por otra orden des iluminada como Faber Castell, por lo menos no le encuentro algo sa-ta-ni-co.
They are not oil based, there is a miss conception, I just saw a long review on Amazon that explains,but actually the top person at Caran D’ash never produced any of their colored pencils with oil. It is some kind of mixture of wax and oil,but it’s produced like no other colored pencils.
Thank you so much for this review!! I love seeing colored pencils, how they look on paper, and all they can do. I have been interested in certain brands, especially Carand'ache, and Derwent. And I have never seen a review of these pencils before, thank you! Very useful review!🥰
Thank you for the review, not sure why you'd need 120 pencils, of any brand (a lot of them look basically the same color). I know of many people who get the 100+ sets and 40% of them go basically unused. I have the 80 set of Pablos, and Supracolors, they are indeed wonderful, and more than enough.
The pablos are a fully wax pencil, it is specified in the new red boxes. That is why they blend better and are more opaque than the polys :) they are just a firm core wax pencil
Thank you! I got this info from the company when I asked. I still have not tried them so was searching for the truth. The fact that its on the new box, good to know!
They are not fully wax. All colored pencils are a blend of wax and oil. It just depends on the ratio of wax to oil. This information is coming directly from Caran D'ache and other CP manufacturers. It's been a long-held misconception that a CP is either wax OR oil. That's not the case for any colored pencils.
What are you using the brush for? Are you using colorless alcohol to help with ease of blending? I see a smoother transition after the brush passes over.
I'd love to get some pointers and tips if you're willing to chat about some different artistic styles that could benefit me in my portrait creations. Thanks.
Excellent comments! Most people talk about the Luminescents and so I was wondering what the differences were. Lovely ... so they glaze beautifully and only 7 with one star but some with dull pigmentation! I think you gave a lot of impartial comments that others haven't. Thank you so much! 🥰 Cheryl
Amazing artwork 😍👍🏻 I also love pastelmat. What duct tape do you youse? Could you tell me the brand, please? Mine has destroyed the surface of Pastelmat 😖
Those are amazing eyes! Love the colors but it's all the minute detail and the soft reflection that is "eye-grabbing" LOL! But seriously, this is good! ❤️
