man i wish i had enough money to buy all types of fancy colored pencils

@robertheilmeier2671 7 лет назад

If you don´t have much money then I suggest that you might want to buy a smaller set of high-quality colors like Polychromos. The reason for this suggestion is that they have very good pigments and are rather soft, therefore you can layer them quite well (if you use a good paper) and you can achieve an astonishing amount of colors just by "mixing" them this way :-) and you can buy additional pencils from time to time so that your collection grows over the time. Best wishes!

@star-yh3us 7 лет назад

ah thanks for the advice really appreciate it!!!

@robertheilmeier2671 7 лет назад

star You are most welcome :D! I have made good experiences using the Polychromos this way, for instance to create a certain flesh tone or shadings of flesh tone (although Polychromos has a big range of colors) but according to the video above the Holbeins are even better in layering, my fingers itch for them ;-) Either way, it also depends on the quality of the paper, too..Thanks for replying and greetings from Germany :D!

Susan Bauer to Southpaw Creative. Why do say do not use Holbein for colouring books? I'm about to buy a set and you gave no reason so before I make the move I'd like to know. I love colouring daily and use my 12 Pastel Holbeins that I tested first and I adore them for my colouring books. Too expensive to make a mistake if you have a good reason for the comment. Good video btw thanks. I'm an addict and have thousands of mediums and now want Holbeins😊

@ArtistJane 7 лет назад

I say that basically an artist I would not use them for coloring books since they are so expensive. I save them for my personal art endeavors. It's up to the user of course. If you want to use them for coloring books, go for it. It's just a personal preference. They're incredibly high quality so I'd rather use them on my own creations. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy them!

@bizyanand 7 лет назад

Japanese and Germans are perfectionists in quality. They dont compromise. So I would say Holbein number 1 and Faber Castell number Two. Thanks for your detailed video explanations and time.

@j.r.5803 5 лет назад

So true. In everything that they decide to do, they do it so well. The old era of portuguese and italian people were also perfectionists unfortunally the modern world changed them a lot.

@Lenyxx3 5 лет назад

Anand Beera I have agree. Stabilo is my all time favorite for markers and pens. I do have one set of their pencils. They are hard and sturdy but not big on deep colors.

@HelenaPulido 4 года назад

Portuguese people are still perfectionists in what they do. Shoes, woodwork and even suits for the Olympics made in Portugal are some of the best things (the list goes on but these are some things that popped on my mind). We aren't more developed because Portugal is still a poor country when compared to the rest of the Europe so it's hard to develop a brand here. I can only speak about Portugal because I'm portuguese myself. I won't speak of Italians but I do assume they still do amazing things! (I apologise for my poor English)

@jenniefrench1338 3 года назад

Wow, Holbein hasn’t allowed themselves to be ASTM tested or even Blue Wool tested and did miserably when colored pencil artist association did basically blue wool testing on them. They are oily like an oil slick and don’t play well with other pencils. I am a colored pencil artist and these are not professional artist grade quality and Holbein charges over $3 a pencil. Derwent Lightfast goes on sale frequently at Blicks Art for $2 something per pencil and they went through both tests. They were underhandedly advertised that way is my opinion because they are super duper cheap in Japan.

I am a just hobby artist. I took a color pencil class about 4 years ago and the instructor required prismacolor pencils. I had no idea how much nicer Faber Castell polychromos were until an artist at my local art store told me to try them. I’ve heard that Prismacolor used to be a quality pencil manufacturer, but now the pencils are not good quality. After watching this video, I’m excited to try the holbein! Thanks for the awesome video 😊

@Nathancamm 7 лет назад

Marianna Hurtado de Adour they suck the reason they seem for sale in the us in stores is case they won't do a toxicity report and if they don't do that I won't trust the light fast tests and also I heard there about the same a fabercastel and are almost double the price

@CarolReidCA 7 лет назад

Nate Boss The toxicity has to do with the pigments, although the same are used in professional paints, and as long as you aren't inhaling or eating them, you'll be fine! (I don't know any adults, or even kids older than about 7, that are eating pencils!)

@jankimbell7560 7 лет назад

I thought of all the money I shouldn't have spent on Prisma Color when I first tried Polychromos. Wow, individual personal preferences aside, these were for ME! That is, they are now my second choice... Caran d'Arch Luminance pencils are smooth but hold a point at the same time. Wax based, I haven't had a problem with wax bloom. This time, I bought a much smaller set (20)... they are SUPER expensive! Now to try Holbein, I can't wait 'til I can afford some. People think I have too many pencils, but each set differs from the other. Sometimes a small color tint that one barely notices, still different though. One of the big things si that each has their own one-of-a-kind colors that are to die for. Anyway, because each has their own characteristics, I can find a use for each brand's pencil even though the color name shown is the same. But, (Prisma Color aside), they are all a joy to use!

@mibelile2047 7 лет назад

Me too

@CarolReidCA 7 лет назад

Jan Kimbell You can layer & blend, and get just about (& perhaps) any color imaginable with these. a little turpentine, or blending solution, and you can make anything with even the smaller sets, although a tad easier to have more colors! (Who wouldn't want them all?)

Just wondering why Holbein is not for colouring? I just ordered pastels 12 to start. I have Luminance, Caram D'Ache Museum, Polychromos, Albrecht Durer, Derwent Inktense and 3 other Derwents but they don't rate alongside Inktense for great colouring results and Prismas. I actually have well over 1000 pencils not including markers or gels because I'm addicted but those I've specifically mentioned are my favourites. I was fortunate that my Prismas have not broken as they were a risk but in the end I wanted every brand I could get.. The glory of smooth pencils like Polys and Durers and Caran D'Ache just give me goosebumps.😜 Thanks for the review. Loved it and those Holbeins are surreal but damn they're expensive. One day that set will come home too😉 At least 12 are coming as eBay has a voucher for Sept 10th. Spend over $50AUD and you get AUD$20 back so I took the opportunity to get those 12 glorious pastel Holbeins. Sorry I do carry on a lot.🙄

To clarify, I meant that I wouldn't use to Holbeins personally for a coloring book or something like that - just my serious/professional work because they're so expensive and the open stock aren't sold here in the US. I know what you mean! I have sooo many art supplies including pencils - vintage colored pencils, polys, Pablo's, holbein, Albrecht durer, art grip, inktense, graphitint, tricolour, etc etc. You'll see more of that here on this channel!

Hi Dana Yes I use them for colouring mainly actually mostly for colouring and I use different pencils for different books depending on the paper. I am home due to illness so I don't work and I colour about 6 hours daily to help me stay sane...lol. If you are like me maybe you use pencils depending on your mood. One day I feel like Prismas, another Polys etc and other days I use all of them :)).along with gel pens and markers and Pitt pens.

Dana Hilldale Hi again Dana.Sorry I don't know how to contact you and I have been away too. As you might have read I now have Holbeins too and still love all my colouring and I use the pencils my mood feels like using on any given day or mix and match them even. Hope you're still loving your colouring too😊

Ich kann dir nur zustimmen, ich benutze die guten alten Polychromos seit über dreissig Jahren. Ich muß aber zugeben, daß es mich seit diesem Video in den Fingern juckt, die Holbeins zu bekommen :-) wenn sie nicht so teuer wären.. insbesondere die Pastellfarben haben mich geflasht. Gruß aus Bayern :-)

@@ArtistJane which color is best ?

@ArtistJane 5 лет назад

It’s really hard to choose because I love them all for different reasons. I’m going to favor Fabre-Castell right now because they have a bonus of being open stock in stores and online if the artist runs out of a pencil.

Have you tried luminanace?

@ArtistJane 7 лет назад

+Kate The Sleepy Teacher Yes I have! I actually owned a set of them for a while, but had ran into a financial bind, so I had to sacrifice them to the wonderful world of eBay. 😔They were gorgeous and had absolutely no wax bloom. I used them on top of a griddle on the lowest setting to warm the wax and the pigment. It was wonderful. I only wish they had more colors.

@@ArtistJane do u prefer them to Holbein

@ArtistJane 5 лет назад

No, They’re both high end quality pro pencils, but they are both fantastic in their own right.

@Aprilap 7 лет назад

the price of holbein, is more than enough to buy caran d'ache luminance(+ a small set of polychromos) at black friday in amazon. holbein is in good quality & lightfast is good. I love them insist making quality pencil in Japan but not move to china. although it make high cost Well, luminance can be use on black paper, paper type smooth/ having tooth-ok. holbein need more skill to work on black /smooth paper as color too translucent. If the paper is smooth, it cant hold all those black pigment. Then make the black not black enough. I press hard with both lamp black and black, still didnt black enough. It didnt happen when i use prisma or caran dache suprasoft. I didnt try polychromos, but we know that it wont happen on polychromos.

The colours of the Holbein are so pretty

@seanmooney3907 7 лет назад

I am wondering why Prismacolor wasn't included. I realize they are not quite as expensive but they are a nice pencil. I have them and polychromous. I don't have the polychromos yet as they are a Christmas present. I like the Holbein but they are much too expensive for me. I would love to try them but I can't afford them. Period, Disability will not allow and if I did buy the smaller set, I would never be happy if I couldn't get them all. So I guess I will have to stay with the polychromos once I get them. All the best and thanks for the information.. There are many things I can't afford so don't feel bad. I will always do the best I can for whatever I can afford. Thanks again. Sean

Sean Mooney look at her video, she doesn't like prismas

@spiritted6297 7 лет назад

Sean Mooney Its because Prismacolors (some of them at least, I'm pretty sure that it's better nowadays) have quality control issues. Many artists can tell you more, but to sum it up, they break way to easily. You probably have a newer set, so the issues have gone down, buts they're just way to fragile for many artists. Also, 2/3 of the Prismacolors are not lightfast, which lowers the quality for artists as well.

@stacywiggins7808 7 лет назад

Sean Mooney I used to use prismacolors. 15 years ago they were awesome, I never thought I would use another brand, but now they break way too easy. I've wasted entire pencils just trying to sharpen them. They'll try and tell you it's because of the soft lead, but it's not. They never broke on me until about 7 years ago.

@AlexandraZe 5 лет назад

Finally I own all of them, and I am definitely loving all three. You know when you have 3 kids and don't know which to choose because you love them all? Lol. That's how I am with Polychromos, Holbein and Pablos. Polys layer the best (in my opinion), Holbein are the most beautiful, and Pablos are best for detail. Cons for them: Polychromos don't have many pastel shades, Holbein can break when sharpened because they are softer, and Pablos don't have enough reds. That is my opinion! 💖

@ArtistJane 5 лет назад

I completely understand and I completely agree with you! That’s why I found it essential to have all 3. Other colored pencil sets I could part with, but not those 3!
