These were literally the most expensive colored pencils I've EVER had. It took me 2 years to decide to upgrade. Is it worth it? Let's find out!
By the way, most expensive colored pencils just means the most expensive ones I've ever had. There's probably pricier ones out there, but this was a really big deal to me! Haha
I'll compare these pencils to some other art supplies I've used before, and draw a realistic eye! If you want to follow along and sketch with me, then grab a sketchbook or some paper! Let's have fun together! :)

Thanks for watching me test the Caran D'ache Luminance colored pencils! I was excited to upgrade and try out a new art supply. It was really refreshing to create a realistic piece of artwork - especially a realistic eye! Let me know if you want to see more stuff like this in the future!

I wanted to put this comment in the open - these are probably not the MOST expensive colored pencils out there, but it was a big deal to me. Of all the research I did for pencils I considered, this happened to be the priciest. I don’t think I actually came across any that topped this (not why I got them though). Anyway, please don’t give me hash! Also, prices fluctuate quite a lot, so what I paid may be different than what it costs in stores and online. ☺️ This decision literally took me two years because I really am frugal. But I am excited to push myself more and have the confidence to sell more of my drawings!! Much love 💜

@susanvarleyart2095 5 лет назад

There about £235 that's about $280 But I got the wooden display box with them. They were the most expensive pencils out there as the range is only 72 colours but I love that you never need any other colour.

@steveanthony1399 5 лет назад

The Caran D’ache Luminance are actually the most expensive coloured pencil on the market. The Derwent Lightfast coloured pencils are a close second though.

@navyboymommygramma 5 лет назад

Why would anyone give you grief over buying art supplies? You are a artist, a very good one at that. Are you supposed to use crayons all your life? This isn't really something that actually happens is it? No one would expect a jeweller to make sll his jewelry out ouf glass, no matter how pretty he could make it so why shouldn't you have the diamonds and emeralds of art supplies? The simple answer is..... you can and you better cuz you darn well deserve it young lady 😊

@tarabooartarmy3654 5 лет назад

I have the full set of Caran d’Ache, but I actually prefer the Polychromos. Don’t get me wrong, I really do like the Caran d’Ache, but for me, the feel of the Polychromos is better. They do work quite well together, though, so I use both. I do agree that the packaging for the Caran d’Ache is top notch! I think the biggest problem for me is that I did ONE drawing with my Caran d’Ache pencils when I first got them, and the 2 colors I used most were over 30% gone. I mean, these pencils are ridiculously expensive to get used up that quickly. By contrast, my Polychromos look almost unused after quite a few drawings. It just makes a huge difference for me. And I have to sharpen the Polychromos less often, too.

@MiraByler 5 лет назад

I definitely still want the polychromos one day! I was soooo close to getting them, haha. They sound wonderful. ☺️

@Susanna79. 3 года назад

Good lord thats crazy amazing 😍 wow I’ve just invested in some polychromos and the watercolours too I’m just playing around nowhere near your level but those pencils look amazing too I think I may have dribbled they look so scrumptious 😆 you deserve them you you are an amazing artist i hope they bring you lots of joy💜

@InvokeArtSense 5 лет назад

My prismacolors break constantly. I'm sure you will get your money's worth. Realism does take so long especially with color pencils. I would say I would spend a few weeks on a portrait if it's realism. So, I understand why you mostly focus on illustrative content. I do too.

@heatherfennessy159 5 лет назад

Omg Myra that eye was AMAZING!! The highlight was so realistic I thought it was almost real lol.Your sooooooooo outstanding at drawing and your realism look real, I know I'd love to see more of realism on your channel it's very satisfying too. I really appreciate how much effort you put in to it, I can barely draw 1 eye straight and when I try and draw the other eye it always turns out lopsided! I know there is no chance you'll see this but I wanted to type it anyway so if you do you'll feel happy. Like so Myra can see this and if you agree! 👍

@MiraByler 5 лет назад

@domm3940 5 лет назад

As I'm a complete beginner artist, when I need to switch off I do paint by numbers (just the cheap stuff from ebay and then add more paint where I either feel it needs a bit extra or just simply run out - these pots are small!). Friends in the background and Bob's your uncle. :)

@amber6607 5 лет назад

One year,and the seller didn't know what they had and did no look them up and I got those that you have for forty dollars,yea beyond a great deal.👏👏😆😆 you will love them, I do, .Oh the best way to sharpen them is use a blade, so you don't wanna waist any of the pigment, treat them like glass, u don't want the colour lead to break,if it does and will by using a sharpner,put the pencil in the microwave for about ten seconds to strengthen the lead. Hope this helps.

@Chill1332 5 лет назад

What a beautiful piece! I love it! Yeah, I certainly have some things I naturally go to. I have a couple of OCs that I can draw instantly from heart and they are probably the most comfortable thing I can draw. And dinosaurs. I just love drawing them. Because there is no real pressure in making them look just right because we don't know what 'just right' really was. I like to go crazy coloring them.

In 1981, San Francisco, I bought a 18 pencil Caran d'Ache set and paid what waa exorbitant to me...i still have it and just now discovered they are watercolor pencils.....never saw the little gold umbrella before. $20.00 now. Note to self: don't hoard out of fear of not having enough money to replace. Use your treasures and your art will bless others.

I only have the neutral shades in that product range and a few light shade because they are WAY more opaque than my polychromos but I never made the decision to get a full set. They are amazing still, and Caran d'ache is like THE best brand for pencils. Even their more affordable range, the pablo pencils are super pigmented and opaque, I love using this on top of watercolors.

@steveanthony1399 5 лет назад

This is a great review! I’m so glad more people are giving attention to the luminance pencils. Just to let you know, when selling your art, the luminance are completely lightfast however the majority of the colours in the prismacolor range are not. So be careful when using them together because your drawings can no longer be labeled as lightfast :/ I would love to see more realism from you!

@LizdeSouza 5 лет назад

Awesome video, please do more realism! I also bought new watercolor pencils after 20 years without buying professional pencils for me. They are the 72 Zenacolor pencils. Not the best ones, but they are what I can afford right now. I tested them making swatches and drawing in my sketchbook, but I need to do something better.

@Terrelli9 5 лет назад

When I’m testing out marker’s I always draw a red bird’s eye with a few feathers around it. For some reason I feel like the pigmentation of the reds is a good indicator for the rest of the colors. When I’m testing watercolors I go for a fish or a flower bud in cool gem tones for the same reason, and when I’m testing colored pencils I draw a realistic m&m in whatever color has the widest range of shades, so I can test how realistic I can get with them and see how crappily the white layers over other colors.

@MiraByler 5 лет назад

Haha, I love the different things you go to for testing! Definitely agree with you on testing reds for colored pencil sets! It’s always hard to get a nice range of them!

They are the most expensive but also the best. You are a professional artist! Buy the lightfast professional supplies! Also the ploychromos are great and would only add to your collection! They are also lightfast and have different colours. Even though they are more oil based you can use them together! More realism only if it's not to difficult for you to film and edit. Great work!

I finally got this set for my 35th birthday last year, big milestone and all, and got tired of waiting for my art to be "good enough". Cos it probably never will be but I'm a stickler for lightfast and I need to know what even if it's crap that it's not crap cos it faded after a freakin' year.

@93maija 5 лет назад

I have some of those as well! I prefer buing just a few single pencils at the time, instead of buying sets, so I've been building a collection of quality coloured pencils over the past year. Mostly polychromos, but also Caran d'Arche. Love them both. Especially the black ones. Good, opaque black pencils are really hard to find, but the Caran d'Arche and polychromo ones are sooo good! The kind of drawings I do are more like semi-realistic I'd say, but like, still people. I do a lot of fun little caricature cards, and I love using coloured pencils for those! (@maia_sether on instagram). But yea, Caran d'Arce and Polychromos, 10/10 would recommend!

I love caran d'ache colored pencils, Luminance are actually the most expensive colored pencils in the world, I know a box of Holbein costs 300 dollars, but it has 150 pencils, so Luminance are still more expensive, I have some mostly skin tones, and I also have the 120 box of caran d'ache Pablo, which are amazing too, in some ways I like them more than the Luminance, they don't blend as well, the lead is much harder which is great for details but they're still highly pigmented, I'm doing hyperrealistic art and they just work amazingly, polychromos has beautiful tones but they're too hard IMO, you made the right choice picking the Luminance over them. Amazing drawing btw! 😃

It just amazes me how people can do that. You could just film a few minutes here and a few there, not all of it just enough to get a good idea of the process. Just film it and upload it, nothing fancy. Or am i the only one who doesn't care about all that junk.? That would be sad. Hope you have a great , stressless day and weekend too, yeah, why not?

I would love to see more realism drawings or realism mini tutorials. For instance, the eye you drew in this video, just talking through your process would be cool...as long as it doesn’t take out the fun and relaxing nature of doing realism for you ☺️

I paint either lips or hands every time I try a new art supply or medium! I've been debating buying Polychromos or Luminance pencils for about 6 months now. I got an Arteza set just because I was sick of dealing with prismacolors breaking. Thank you for the demo!
