The Surprising Result of the Ultimate Watercolor Crayon Challenge! 

Hey all just a note! Please keep in mind I classified some of these that you may not considered a "crayon" a crayon, but it was just for comparison's sake. I did my best to cover every angle, Im sure I missed some, but as with all reviews, I really work hard on these, and spend a lot of hours creating these comparisons for everyone (this project has taken more than 40 hours) -- so do keep that in mind before commenting with anything negative. You may disagree with my ratings, and that's fine, these are my ratings based off my experience -- we are all very different. Each product has its own review, so do watch that for more info on it specifically, also, there is an entire playlist for this Watercolor Crayon Battle on my channel you can watch. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate all the work you put into it. This confirms my desire to continue building my set of NeoColor 2s. ❤

Pink you so much you have convinced me that my instinct with these was pretty spot-on and that I need to spend more time using my neo 2 instead of being afraid to use them up.

Do you keep your test sheets in a notebook for reference? You are doing valuable research.

Since i'm a "budget" girl, i will get the Crayola Signature. Coloring is just a fun hobby for me and it's great to have a Good review of them before purchasing.👍💙

thank you so much Kori for all the work you put into this series. So very helpful!!🙋👍

thank you for all that you put into not only this video but all of them! I love your reviews because you cover all the bases. to all the trolls, get a life & move on people. have a great week😊

I use the Sargent Art Watercolor Crayons a lot and I love them. They have a coating on the crayon to protect it during shipping. If you dip the tips in water first and wipe them off, they won't be as "scratchy" on the paper. That's probably why you couldn't get the pigments off the crayon with the brush.

the mungyo crayons, not here?

Absolutely epic series, Cory! They'll have to drag my Neo's (I & ii) out of my cold dead hands, I've managed to get hold of 97 of the 126 colours now and love them all! Closely-ish followed by my lyras, but I'd prob give up my stabilo woodys if I had to! Great job for all the work you put in 👏👏👏

how fun.. can't wait to watch

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for!! Thank you for all your hard work…definitely earned a follow!

Thanks for doing all this work, this is so useful! I'm just going to have to be honest with myself and admit that nothing but the Neocolor II will do. then again they really aren't that expensive for a Caran d' Ache product.

Thanks for an absolutely fantastic review even though it was no surprise that Caran D’ache came in first! I really enjoyed learning the strengths and weaknesses of all the crayons mentioned. I thought I heard you say that you are planning a watercolor pencil battle next. I only have Derwent Inktense and the Stablio Woodys. I’m not in the market for more, but I’ll be excited to watch, even though I expect Faber Castell Albrecht Durer to win. Are you also planning to compare gel crayons? If so, what brands do you plan to test? Thanks again, excited to see more!😊

Great video! You did a lot of work, thank you! PS. Buying myself the Crayolas. 😂💜

I have been wanting to add watercolor pencils to my supplies and this was so helpful. Thank you so much for doing this review.

This was very helpful.. neocolor2 is what I will get. And maybe crayola.

Great review! After I suggested adding the Crayola Signature to the battle, I was hoping you wouldn’t hate them. They surprised me too and now I have a few more tips on how to use them. Thank you!

Excellent review! Thanks for all the hard work that goes into presenting this episode 🌹😍

Thanks for the comparison!! Lots of work -it’s appreciated

*HUGE* respect, Kori for all this work!!!! You're right to say that in the UK, Staedtler pricing will be different. On Amazon UK they are £7.70 (6.4c each) for the 12 set. ($9.55 / 7.43c). For the 24 set, £13.12 / 55p = $16.24 / 6.8c. Here on Amazon France, a 24 set will be €16.18 / 62c = $18.30 / 68c. I really like Staedtler graphite pencils (the red and black barrelled) but their Journey coloured pencils, for me, are not fit for purpose, because, having worked with children all my life, I still can't see why children of primary age (5 - 11yrs) should have to suffer with the inferior products marketed for them. I know people on very low budgets struggle, but I'd rather their children had just a 12 set which actually encourages them than a 36 set which will frustrate. Now I'm expecting flack in response to this from others, about 'Kids don't really care!' and 'Lots of people can't afford better quality.' and other such comments... *However* , having come from a very poor family, surviving on hand-me-downs from kind neighbours, our weekly tube of sweets ration from an aunt, and Dad doing all sorts of on-the-side jobs as well as a full time job just to keep food on the table, and in the present, now being on a very low budget, _I am fully aware of this!_ But these big companies aren't exactly going broke, are they???? What they'd lose on producing better quality budget supplies for children, they gain on the sale of their artist quality materials. And more children would go on drawing and painting into adulthood, because they weren't frustrated by the less than mediochre supplies they had to use as children! Also, the better quality product lasts far, far longer than the cheap stuff - as most of us who have progressed from student paints and pencils to artist's quality can endorse! And of course, if better off relatives and friends would buy the nicer stuff as Christmas and birthday presents .... *Note to Kori:* I also don't believe in waste, and am glad, not critical, that your children will get to use what you are passing on to them - and anyway, they are far better quality (except the Staedtler, which I have actually used) than the products on sale in the UK and Europe which I'm talking about. Ducks below the wall to avoid the flak! 😄

Great video series. Thanks for all of the time you put into creating the series.

Where can I purchase the neo 2 as open stock so that I can build my set from the 30 to the full set

I bought Sargent way back bcuz they were cheap. Oh well.

Thanks for the review!

So useful! 💗💜💗
