'YOY" Rachel sweet heart. Put you extra pencils in the order of the logging sheet you have makes it way easyer to find them love. Love Terri Simmers.

I superglue those tiny pieces to a cheap #2 pencil, then you can sharpen til it is gone. Snap off the tiny bit left then sand and use again. Love your channel, keep sending us your great content and stay safe.

I use a Posca to put a white dot at the bottom of each pencil that I have a back-up for. If I have two or more back-ups I just add more dots. Then, when I need to replace one I grab the back-up and put the dots on it, if need be.

What I do for backups is have a full set of Prismacolor 150 and pull from there when I need a new one. Then I write on a sheet kept in the backup box when I take one out so I know what needs replaced. When I have a few on the sheet or when I am art supply shopping anyway, I buy what I need. Keeps me super organized.

Love oil pencils also they work so good

As a graphic designer, non-photo blue is a life-saver! I can sketch out using NPB and then ink over it. When I go to copy it, it does not detect NPB and only the ink.

Awesome! I’m looking forward to your videos with that book. I am working on it right now and look forward to the ideas!

You can buy pencil extenders which you can then use the pencil down to the last tiny bit, have you ever tried them?

Thanks for introducing Art Crayons~ I’ll give them a try.

Great video as always, Rachel 🥰. I don't always get a chance to comment but I love all your videos and am catching up on the older ones too. Loved your little tour of your art store. We have them in UK but not many & not local to me. Also thanks for great tip on the Crayolas, I have a set now and they are lovely 😍 Also good as a first layer to save the more expensive FC Polychromos I only have a set of 12 🙈, but treated myself to a 72 Prismacolour set for my birthday last month 🎂🥳. They're all so much more expensive here ... I need to come to Chicago for a craft stock trip hehe. Take care and stay safe XxX 🙋🏼‍♀️🦋🐈🌈

Hi Rachel, great video.. I'm a huge fan of crayola pencils 😊

I too like to use Crayola in conjunction with other pencils (especially PCPs). And are you aware Crayola now has sets of 120? I bought mine not long after getting the 100 set; the additional 20 have some unique colors, e.g. asparagus and midnight blue.

Did you start coloring for relaxation then figured this way to make it stressful? Lol

I used up my outer space pencil as well. It is such a good shadow color. I store it separately with blenders and white pens etc. I have been putting off replacing it since i have used up 3 so far and it feels wasteful to keep buying a full set of pencils . For now im using prismacolor's black grape, it is stronger so not as easy to use. Im going to call crayola and ask if they can sell a pack of crayola "greatest hits" lol.

Love that you're doing more videos!! You've convinced me to pick up some Crayola pencils.

You are so lucky to have such a beautiful Blick art store to go to! I order online from them but it is harder. I need to make sure I get all the refills I need for a while at once. For future reference Crayola pencils have a 120 set on amazon. The extra colors are beautiful and well worth to get.

Rachel-you really need to glue your short ones to a regular graphite pencil so you can use all of the pencil up, like at least one other person mentioned....that is precious lead your throwing away otherwise! I am not quite there, but that’s what I am going to be doing when I do get pencils that short!

Love the Romantic Country series, look forward to future videos!

Fun seeing your process. Ty

I just bough the schpirerr farben on Amazon, trying them out and I will use the crayola. Thank you for the video❤️🇨🇴

Great video! I ordered the KUM sharpener based on your recommendation and it has been a game changer for me. I really enjoy using my Prismas now! I used to shop the Blick on State Street downtown. I miss the Loop so much. Been WFH since March and we are not going back before March of next year. Sigh. At least I have my coloring books!

Enjoyed this video and I also use lots of different pencils to get better colour choices instead of always using my PC,Thankyou for sharing and stay safe🇳🇿

Kudos for the extreme restraint in Blick! So I’m wondering why you would not use the set of new/full pencils and keep the shorter/used ones for backup? It’s still not wasteful, and you could enjoy all the beautiful pencils instead of having them tucked away. Also if you don’t use certain colors much you may never get to the new one 😳!

Thanks so much for the shopping trip. I would love to visit a brick and mortar Blick's. But there isn't one near me and I should quarantine 24/7 anyway so It's a moot point. We did have a local Jerry's Art-A-Rama but that was taken out by the March tornado. I'm grateful both retailers are on-line. I also check Wal-Mart online. Even though It's usually not the lowest priced option, there's a large selection of coloring books and some products and brands you won't see in store. And I know it isn't the first time, but thanks again for sticking up for the Crayola 100 set. There are some great colors in that box. Outer Space, Harvest Gold, Blue Bolt, Mango, a good selection of earth tones and pinks too. I have full or partial sets of 9 different brands and sometimes only a Crayola color will do. I mean, you gotta love a brand with a color named Fuzzy Wuzzy. I've rambled on long enough, but I want to finish with a big thank you. I've been watching and learning from youl for a couple of years now. Thanks for sharing your talent and your time. This is a good place to hang out. Stay safe everybody.

New to your channel and while I have been coloring for some time, I am just starting to with with blending and Gamsol. Thank you for the great video. We had a Blick art supply unfortunately it closed. I miss it so much and Michael's and hobby lobby are the only other options.. unfortunately neither one carries a large selection of open stock pencils. I tend to order from Blick or Amazon.

I wish they had open stock on crayola. I have a lot of backups

I use crayolas sometimes. Just certain colors. Only have two of the 50 piece set. I should buy the 100 piece set. The outer space color sounds interesting. Blick is a great art supply store.

Ebay has quantities of crayola pencils for sale Search on outerspace colored pencils. It pops up right away.

I have ordered from Blick. In fact am expecting an order to arrive in a few days. On an order of $45 or more, they’ll ship free. I’m trying to get all the Prismas. I can find some Prismas locally at Michaels, but they carry only about 1/3 of the colors. Thanks for the videos, Rachel. I enjoy them. I guess I am going to have to break down and buy a set of Crayolas to see for myself. I already have Prismas and Derwent Procolours. More is better, I guess.

We have a Dick Blick in Fullerton, CA. Its near where I work. I love going through that store. I thought you had the adult Crayolas so i got that set of 100, Now I have to get the correct one. Oops! loved going shopping with you.

Use an exacto knife to sharpen the stubs. And glue it on to another colour pencil.

We have a Blick here in Michigan I haven’t been but think I should one day

Miss your videos

The Derwent watercolors are not bad, but the Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolor pencils just explode with color, and the Derwent Inktense do too ( They are dye inks, not watercolor pigments). All are useful, and I use them all!

I don't have a blick or open stock prismacolors.. 🙄. But I splurged on the full set of neocolor2! You should try those they work really smoothly.. 😃 or buy crayola crayons and try to work with them like the neocolor2 or your crayon 😉

Which pencil case is this? Brand? On Amazon? How many does it hold?

I have the same problem tooI got a shortage of PRISMACOLOR pencils to and they’re also very short how can I replace them I am very very good shopping spree

Terri again. Did you get a hold of Crayola and see if you could get some of your pencils favorites from them? it would be worth a try.

our Prisma colors are open stock at 4 bucks a pencil. I can't afford that. I have the Michels store brand to mix with my Crayola the 100 pack plus when i lived closer to a "bullseye" store they had Crayola in lots of 2 buck packs so I pop them in the box with my hundred and off i am. Do you know of any other color pencils that sell an open stock?

Non photo blue is for correcting photoes because it will not show up on a photo.

Where can I find the prismacolor color sheet online to print out?

Non photo blue i guess its because if you photocopy this color you cańt see it in the copy im not sure but i think the ñame is thats because…

Apparently non photo blue doesn’t show up on photocopies. We only have 2 decent art shops in Cape Town, and so far I’ve only found Polycolor and Lyra pencils open stock. We don’t get any American art supplies here.

Non photo because it won’t scan good for animators

Yes, non photo blue doesn’t show up on a copier.

How about buying pencil extenders

I am OCD and by being organizes it saves so much time so you can spend more time coloring. And is not that what we wont to do?

💛💛💛🖤

That’s a well stocked store. Is it Schaumburg or Evanston? Definitely not Downers.

I love crayola I also have their 120 set too But I'm sorry to say that derwent watercolor pencils are the worse Product from derwent

Where can I get this swatch chart please

invest in a pencil extender. some life in some of those

Is that the Blick on Golf Rd in Schaumburg? I was just there Sunday! What day did you go?

I don't understand why you even care for Crayola pencils. The quality is very poor and if you have faber-castell polychromos and Prismacolor, you don't need much more
