I could NEVER imagine buying some wooden pencils for almost $200. I would just loose them all in 10 minutes…

Imagine if she opened the box and it was empty except for a note saying the order was cancelled

Aww, I really wish these were colored pencils and the colors would match the tones of the wood.

Now THIS is how you turn something simple into a luxury product while also using leftover wood! Way to go Mr. Miyamoto! This is what the Louis Vuitton pencils should have looked like. I'm still flabbergasted about that trash by the way. :-|

“It’s a pencil” with beautiful packaging and smells nice lol. I’ve never heard of these and probably won’t buy them but this was fun to watch nonetheless!

I wouldn't have the heart to sharpen these pencils They are so pretty, I would hang them on my wall 😂

Rae: * Starts sniffing pencils * Jackie would be so proud

Ive heard that japanese cypress is used in showers/bathrooms so when it gets hot from the steam the smell is released, i’d love to have a room like that someday

"I'm trying to film as much as I can but I just can't stop rubbing this piece of wood." -Rae , 2021.

Honestly I think even if an art supply is expensive, I feel like the overall design and vibe of them can inspire some sort of confidence and determination in your work, whether it's "these are expensive and I don't want to waste them so I'll take as much time as I need on this piece using these expensive materials" or "the aesthetic of these are one-of-a-kind and working with them is a privilege," etc. Or even role playing some extravagant fine artist using expensive supplies that eases anxiety through the process.

Because I’m neurodivergent I cannot watch RU-vid videos at full length, I’ve gotten so used to stimming through 30 second Tik Tok videos that I just don’t have the attention span for long videos anymore. However I will say that I have been binge watching your page all night, I think I’m like 3-4 hours in at this point. You’re making amazing content!!

Plssssss tell me why I’ve stumbled upon a whole channel about pencils & art supplies & im hooked like it’s crack 💀 why is this so mesmerising

They still are a work of art in itself 😊 I worked with a scientist who’s specialty was wood identification. This is a one of a kind treasure to enjoy and I can bet these pencils don’t lose their smell. My favorite part was the case of birds eye maple and if you ever seen a piece of furniture made from it is like the shiny way you showed us the pencil case❤️❤️ thanks for your dedication to get these pencils.

Japanese Cypress (Hinoki) is a very expensive wood that is known for its amazing smell. You can buy blocks of it to put in the bath to make your bath smell nice, but I’ve never had that kind of cash 😂

As a fragrance enthusiast it was so cool to hear the difference between aroma on these different type of woods.

You going "smell this pencil!" reminded me so much of my woodwork professor at university who came up to us while we were doing stuff in his workshop, picked up a handful of sawdust off the floor and went "smell it!" to us every day xD He was a great guy. Also I like to imagine that Shegeki Miyamoto watches your video and goes "finally someone who can appreciate a good piece of wood!"

Okay, but the amount of talent this woman has. 😤

When things are actually of quality I don’t mind dropping a lot of money on things. I’m not shocked since Japan is the same country that has fruit growing down to an exact art form

As someone who LOVES loves the smell of different types of wood I think just the fact that they're pure wood and you can smell it makes me wanna buy them ♥️

I'm so jealous, I would love to be able to smell those different types of wood. I miss my woodworking class so much. If I had the opportunity to be in there again I would make more giant sculptures that were like 300 lbs lol

Sounds to me like none of the sellers -- regardless of what they said -- actually had the pencils in stock. Sounds to me like they were all waiting to get an order, then ordering from whatever the higher-up source was, and were all finding out that it was out of stock or way backordered or whatever. I suppose it makes sense that a smaller seller wouldn't tie up whatever the wholesale price is on a set of $150 pencils. Having that, and other similar $$$ items just lying around can put you out of business unless you have a *lot* of capital lying around, which isn't economically smart for a small retailer. But it's still annoying that they'd be all, "Oh, yeah, I totally have this!" and take your money when they don't have it and turns out they can't get it. :/ ETA: I'm massively impressed by the intense *black* you were able to get in the background of the drawing you did. Most graphite can't get that black. Maybe it's an artifact of the video, but it looks damned impressive from here.

So, 10 pencils at $154 gives you $15.4 per pencil. Apparently they are 17.4cm, 88 cents per cm. After breaking the tip of all my pencils I find that, on average, sharpening them to point will shave 0.7cm off the pencil That means (88 cents/cm)*(0.7cm), and each sharpening costs 61 cents. Merely sharpening the 10 pencils costed Rae $6.16 And judging the lenght of the pencil at 16:41... Well...

Hey guys!! I’m a woodworker and I couldn’t help but geek out about the pencils 🥺👉👈 I can’t afford the pencils but if I could I would get them simply bc they seem cool. And yes, wood has its own distinctive smell…I remember when I first started woodworking the whole “wood has smell” was soo cool. Like there is one wood that smells like lemon 🤯…but there is also one that smells terrible lol. My favorite wood atm to build with is walnut but cherry and maple are good options too!! Love your art/content and can’t wait for the next video!! 🥰

lmao whenever i watch her videos ( which is most of the time ) , i feel like im learning art history and having fun like it’s so entertaining and fun !

i literally bought these, drew one thing with them that was sketchy and nature based, and then put them in a shadow box and they now sit beautifully on a shelf under a light in my room. they're my biggest bragging right 💀

Loved watching your genuine excitement upon smelling the wood of the pencils as you sharpened each of them.

I ADORE these kind of videos. Personally, I used to prefer everything that was mass produced because of how perfect it is. But then I learned to value hand made stuff. Yes, they´re not perfect but that´s precisely what makes them unique. PS Who else here thinks Rae won´t EVER be using these pencils again? And she shouldn´t.

"Wow, the sticker is perfectly slapped on." Rae, i think u r trying to justify to yourself of buying pencils for 150$ 😂😂😂 its ok I do the same when I buy a 8 oz tube of oil paints for 50$

rae actually inspired me to dip my toes in realism and i’ve come so far with it and it’s crazy. thanks rae:)

When I worked in a U.K. art school (no names) I never had to buy a pencil in 20 years... at the end of each year literally hundreds of pencils were just abandoned and swept up ... used to keep a box full for general use in the studio. It’s my theory that all the missing socks in the world turn into abandoned pencils...

They are just gorgeous and art in themselves. It pained me to see you sharpen that one so much lol. Definitely worth it as a decor item!

Me buying dollar tree pencils: throwing them, constantly sharpening them, giving them away. Me buying those pencils: still keeps them in the packageing to not destroy them!

Birds eye maple is gorgeous. It’s what a lot of fancy guitar necks are made of.

This is the type thing you buy if you're a collector/ admirer of the artist because they aren't pencils for function, they're art. You would do exactly what you have done, maybe not even sharpening them (which I think would be disappointing but understanding). I think it's super cute you get so excited! It's joyful to watch, and you're an excellent artist as well :)

I can empathize with the hs tater tot craving. I’ve been out of high school for years and I still get cravings for the dodgy square cheese pizza and salad with ranch, and the meatball sub.

As a person with a really strong sense of smell, I REALLY want to smell those pencils! I just wonder how many more undertones I could pick up, plus I just love the smell of wood... ...uh I mean... don't sniff pencils kids!

These are probably an industrial designer kind of pencil, I love using HB for sketching and rough shading, nothing too artsy but definitely not a dollar tree pencil task, and those pencils look like a dream to work with and carry around, I need them, I need to sketch with them😭💖

Dang it! Now I want completely unnecessary, incredibly expensive pencils.

I can’t believe you sharpened them. I couldn’t have I would have just looked at them. Lol

Mom: what are you doing? Me: enjoying Rae smelling a bunch of wooden pencils

My grandpa on my dad's side was a master carpenter and my favorite smell in the world is fresh cut wood every time I went to his house he always smelled like fresh oak he literally made me shapes out of solid oak and other woods. Watching you enjoy the smells from the pencils and your face brought up that memory

I couldn't draw to save my life, but in two videos you've made a subscriber. I'm learning things! Thank you for doing what you do, and for doing it with freshness, style and much joy.

Let's just talk about the makeup evolution of Rae .... 2011: black eye liner thin eyebrows 2016: thin layer of eye liner and thick eyebrows 2019: perfect looking everything 2021: just like a queen

"mentions when these pencils was created which was in the 1990s, also the exact same time I was created" I AM DEAD lol

So, some of them are scented !🥰 I think I would love the forest scent💟

When Rae said Rosewood,India My indian heart went flying out the window

Nah, I'm gonna continue drawing with crayola, noone can stop me

i'm obsessed with your videos, my mother is obsessed with june's journey. i was NOT expecting to see these two things collide today but that's epic

gosh rae i haven’t watched your videos in so long!! your account has grown so much 🥲 KEEP IT UP!!! ❤️❤️❤️

The most expensive pencils I own are the Caran D'Ache Swiss Wood ones and not only do I hate sharpening them, I don't enjoy using them that much due to many different reasons besides price. So I wouldn't...

Wow! I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this video as much as I did. I work a Lot with Prismacolor pencils and I forget how much they smell until someone who never uses them talks about it. The most amazing pencils I found were in a special stationery store in Richmond Virginia. They were the pencils that were used by the animation artists who worked at Disney. Palomino Blackwing. I got a couple of them and they were $5 each.

Your enthusiasm over these pencils and your amazing art skills just made my day at the end of a long week. Thank you.

I just wanna say I watch your videos when I'm sad. Your bubbly persona cheers me up, and honestly, the vibe from your videos feels like a little hug. You're passionate, sweet, and I love that I don't exclusively watch you when I'm feeling down XD But when I do feel sad, your videos help. So thank you

My dad is a carpenter. I have to show him this guy. It's weird and cool to watch someone smell wood they haven't before. I can tell the wood type by the taste and smell from growing up in a cabinet shop. This is making me nostalgic.

let's just appreciate how beautiful rae is🦋❤️..I love your crafts and you're one of my inspiration why should I need to work hard to improve my drawing skill.

Yess finally early Hii Rae I am a viewer from India and I love your art,it's so amazing it has just been a couple of months watching you but I learned a lot thanks a lot Keep going❣

An old illustration lecturer of mine taught me to carve down my pencils in order to get the most out of them. Sharpening causes alot of waste. I would definitely carve down with an NT cutter instead. xxxxxx

I love your videos! I get to learn but i also just love watching time lapses of you creating art, it's very relxing

Rae i love your art! You give me inspiration to keep on drawing and not giving up like i did before! thank you

I love this so much! I have always been fascinated with Japan as a Country and as a society. The creativity, practicality and ingenuity of Japanese products are unrivaled, imo. When it comes to Japanese products - across the board - the packaging and the products themselves always amaze me because of those little details that make things so much better. Even ice cream from vending machines in Japan have amazing features as part of the packaging. I can go on and on about that, lol. But yeah, the little divot (or whatever) in the piece of wood to help get the pencils out is the perfect example of Japanese ingenuity. Edit: Also, I've been waiting for a new video so YAY!!!

Made me smile when you realised "that little nook" was for easy assess to the pencils, growing up in the 70s I had a sliding wooden pencil case with the same design.

What a unique video and so informative. Can say it's the first time I've been impressed with pencils. Thank you for sharing. And you're a great artist.

those pencils have a really great story behind them but I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around spending that much money on pencils 🤷 idk maybe it's just me but times are hard these days and I can think of a bunch of other things to spend all that money on. I love u ☺️ I'm happy that your happy 😁

Rae: *makes a beautiful drawing and a nice background* Me: *gets tired after just drawing one line *

I can easily see why this would be a waste of money for some people but the thought of using pencils with a beautiful history and incredible design is to die for. The fact that they each are different types of wood with different weights is deeply desirable for me. Add to that they apply with a matte look rather than the shiny gunmetal of other pencils is just, yes.

This is SO satisfying to just watch I can't even imagine how it must be to touch all those different kinds of woods and the fragrances they have when being sharpened! How cool!!

“Why can I smell the Earth on this pencil?!?!” -Rae Dizzle 2021

I love how this woman goes aside and spends hundreds of $ just to create content and to make us happy

2nd video of your's that YT suggested to me........ Love it , you rock . I really like your content thus far !

This was really cool! Looking at the pencils made me think about how you could decided on which wood you like for your house (cabinets & floors ect.).

Those pencils look soooo GOOODDDDDD 😭😭😭 Aesthetically pleasing for a person like me who likes the sound of pencil scratching away on a paper... 😘💕💜

loved this video, so much joy from the artist

i have been So invested in this video, these pencils, the furniture maker, and the different woods-- and also entranced by how cool YOU think these pencils are. new sub!

This video got me sprinting like no one, I got them as gift like months ago, and just were like :” oh… thanks, they look very… interesting ” and put them in my drawer and never even looked at them again till now, ops I guess

me sitting on a pure rosewood bed that my uncle had gifted my mother at her wedding, of course, he included Indian rosewood

Heya SuperRae! Just wanted to say I've been a long time fan and subscriber for years now, and that you've taught me so much about art since I found out about your channel! It motivated me to keep doing art and keep improving and building on it, you are such an inspiration and I just wanted to say thank you!!

I never thought i could be amazed by pencils, but i've never wanted a pencil more in my life.

I love how Rae tries to convince herself that this isn't overpriced just because it has Miyamoto's name on it.

I love that you're willing to buy expensive things just to keep us entertained and I know that you also wanna know what they *the expensive things* are like but still

As a Thai person myself, I recognized the teak immediately as it was my floor material, though I have never smelled it fresh-cut. Truly a god of chairs.

To each his own. She is excited for the pencils. They are almost art themselves. She is probably proud of getting pencils she has dreamed about. The pinnacle of her desires 😁. Everyone has a passion, and an aspiration to get/have the best, specific crochet needles, paints, wools.. this is their love, their life. Even if you are a connoisseur of beer, experiencing the best makes you feel you can’t get any happier than where you are at right now. Trust me 😁🥰😍

If you end up loving the whole experience, Caran d'Ache puts out special sets of pencils every year or so, each made from a different kind of wood. The sets are also perfumed by a perfume house in France, with each set having its own unique fragrance. Best part is that they're not $15+ a pencil -- the sets of six are about $40-ish, which is still super expensive, but you don't get the polished wood box to go with them, so...there's that. I've had one of the sets (5? 6 maybe?) for a couple years and the scent's still there, even. (Plus, it's Caran d'Ache, and they know how to make a good lead.) edited to add: On a whim, I just checked Amazon, and the Les Maisons sets are there -- the most recent three, at least -- and range between 27 and 32 USD. They did go to just four pencils per container, though. And one of the new ones has a couple of the same woods as this set. :)

Can we all just agree in how pretty Rae’s hair is?!

rae's skill amazes me the artwork is beautiful

Your video's are so fun and refreshing. I really enjoy them.

People out there doing coke? Rae is on another level. Sharpens pencils and smell the shavings

Definetly a super novelty item more in line for art decoration. I would personally not buy them because I don't think the price ratio to the output is not given. I think the Blackwing pencils, Holbein pencils and Luminance are expensive enough. All good art supplies are expensive for that matter I feel that artists don't get a lot off really good deals even from the biggest art shops in the US. Not when I compare it with the sales that contractors and crafters get at a Home Depot- like shop. By the way Rae. You mentioned the only art store near you is Hobby Lobby so you have the same fate as I in that aspect, and the bad thing about that is that Hobby Lobby discontinued all the true name brand art papers and now only sells their Artists' Touch brand paper. That sucks, cause I really like the Strathmore toned tanned paper which was the main reason for going to the store anyway. Michaels is too expensive. If anyone knows anything about the art materials they sell of Europe at 3 to 4 times the price of Europe. Michaels markup is outrageous. So even if you get to use a 40% coupon I can tell you for sure you are still getting ripped off. So I go to Blick, Jerry's Artarama or Cheap Joes Art Supply. You are still better off even if you order from Jackson's Art Supply instead of Michael's .

Lets be grateful how hard she worked to make her vids some art supplies are SOOOO hard to get her hands on so pls appreciate her😊

9:43 "It's the same time I was created " that cracked me up

I guess the first pencil was rosewood, rosewood is known for having a distinct floral note(like that of a rose). So yes, it is pretty distinguishable.

3:00 is when the video starts

Wow.. beautiful piece of artwork! And really enjoyed this video... Fascinating and never knew these existed!

This is so nice to watch! Wow!

Whyyy is nobody talking about how Gorgeous Rae looks??😭

When you thought a box of Blackwing pencils were expensive 🤑

I honestly can’t remember the last time I actually used a pencil, but I WANT THIS BEAUTIFUL SET. SO. MUCH.

Daam u are tacking sooo much time to post as a big fan plese do it a little faster. who else is with me

I love your videos

Rae: *sniff* *sniff* Also Rae: takes a lil bite Me: 😂👀
