I suggest that you use this grading system for all colored pencils, regardless of price. Then, after testing all the pencils, put them in performance order - (1) regardless of price per pencil, then (2) in order of budget friendliness, then (3) by lightfastness, then (4) by color range, then (5) by hardness of the "lead", etc. That would be another step in making your channel a handy resource for artists, professional, amateur and beginner.

This was a fun watch and surprising indeed. I'm sure I will watch it again, as I do with many of your videos. I also love that we can hear sweet Rose snoring in the background. I have tremendous respect for the work you two do. You buy almost everything you review, are generous with your giveaways, and present the unvarnished truth about each product you review - generally after doing a substantial amount of work to ensure a fair review. It's no wonder that everyone (myself included) flocks to your videos - they are fun and honest. Thank you both!

I know Lori, from Color My World (here on You Tube) spent a lot of time working with the makers of the StarJoy pencils to create those groupings so that it would help make it easier for the new colorists. I bought the set when it was first released. I also own the Soucolor which I keep out for general use and the grands when they are over.

Some of those brands came out since I bought all the sets of inexpensive colored pencils on Amazon, but back then, the two best sets I found, for my arthritic hands, were the Hifony followed by Kalour. The Hiforny work well with Prisma pencils and Kalour work well with Polys so I kept those two sets and donated the other sets to a school program.

I have lots of pencil sets from budget to high end. I enjoy trying new sets and purchased the Artisto set a few months ago. I love those pencils and would definitely purchase a larger set if they were to produce them. I also purchased their watercolor pencils. They are also very good for a budget set. Not quite as pigmented as my Albrecht Durer but still very nice. I would also purchase a larger set of those if they made them. Thanks to you and Steve for your hard work testing the sets so we don't have to. I very much enjoy watching your channel. You and Steve are so down to earth and fun. Blessings!!! 😊

That's a lot of work and expense. Thanks for the time and effort to do this. I've tried all of these brands but two (H&B and "I Buy Em" brand. LOL Steve. Great call!) My all time favorite budget set is one that I have never seen mentioned on anyone's coloring channel. They're called Huhuhero and they only come in a 120 set. I've seen them for as low as $13 and as high as $22. They're on the firmer side, but they lay down color very easily and smoothly. They are very similar to Kalour (though they are not the same).

hi Jennifer! How long ago did you purchase your Amazon Basics pencils? I bought a set during the black Friday sale for $15 and they were so strange and unpleasant to work with. I had heard such great things about these pencils but I think they have changed quality. This is what frustrates me about some of these budget brands, they can switch manufacturers after a review is posted. I have not tried all the brands you mentioned here but I did like the Artrsto!

@ColoringBliss 3 ай бұрын

Hi Lindsey! I was worried about quality changes too so we bought all of these sets brand new for this testing (including Amazon Basics) even though I already owned most of them. During the testing, I tried very hard to focus on just these twelve sets and not compare them to any others…like Prismacolor for example. It was an interesting experience. Amazon Basics was definitely not one of my favorites but they were not terrible either…very middle of this pack. Mediocre at best.

Thank you so much for all your hard work I really appreciate it! My son's birthday is coming up on April 19th and we're both artists, and I think I'm going to get the H&B set, I love the case and the pencil quality looks fine and I'm sure he'll enjoy it (he's not a little kid- he'll be 34 😳😆), but he mainly does ink work so this should be fine. I have my 150 piece Prismacolor set , but just to let you know, my first colored pencil set that I bought as an adult was The Statler 24 pencil set a number of years ago. It's a little on the harder side and when you sharpen it you get a great point that doesn't break, and I did very well with it over the last number of years until I finally got my prismacolor set.

I have a challenge for you if you are interested. I've been challenging myself and like the results. I'm struggling with blending. So I hopped on Amizon and found all sorts of two-tone and tri-tone and even 4-tone colored pencils. Most of them are kind of cheapies. But I'd love to see a great colored page using only multi-toned pencils: Two-tone, tri-tone and/or four-tone pencils. The results are crazy neat I think. I was surprised with your results too, but just because pencils are cheap, still I see great results, lots of fun and they all manage to give decent results. I have a lot of those brands in my own supply.

The Amazon pencils are very cheap here on the continent, around £15.00

I wish prices were the same all over the world…think how much easier things would be!!

same as Canada we pay crazy prices . I paid well over 100$ for my set of 300 with a case to put them all in . so for me that was a huge investment .

Hi Jen & Steve & Rosie -- Very fun tests & results. Ty!! I broke my shoulder in TWO places, & am still recovering from that. Phoo huh?! So I've been drawing more, & coloring w/ my TomBows. Also wld like to categorize my drawings, & set up a proper filing system for everything. Between my work & supplies, it's all totaled into one big bunch of stuff! Will get there. I wanted to mention what good pencils PABLOS are. Not cheap but lovely. Sending love from Seattle! - Julie & Winnie 3-2024

I was hoping H&B would make the top 5. They remind me of the Castle Arts. I really loved this video!

Thank you for the review!!! I really enjoy this kind of videos even though I'm a polychromos girl. I wonder what do you do with all those pencils afterwards. Do you gift them to family and friends?

@ColoringBliss 3 ай бұрын

I have a very large collection that I keep on hand in my studio for videos but if I end up with duplicate sets, I like to give them away.

@@ColoringBliss that's cool! Thanks for the answer and I hope and wish you both to reach 100k subscribers, you definitely deserve that and more!! ❤️

I really appreciate you listening to your subscribers. I have all these but the Staedler brand. I noticed on the Kalour in a round package are not the same quality as the 240 set. I am waiting for the price to drop on the 520 on Kalour. I do like the 240 set of Kalour. Thank you again for this video. ❤❤❤

@ColoringBliss 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info! I wish Kalour would explain the set differences so we can make better informed choices

@sallytreloar6425 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for all your hard work. I'd love to see a comparison with the artisto set and Prismacolor because their quality is getting so poor. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to find something as good as Prismacolor but better production quality. Love your videos and Happy Easter.

I know they're not included in your test but my favorite budget pencils are brutfuner square. I was considering buying the kalour set but many videos I've watched seem to show that brutfuner and kalour are the same.

Is there already a top three midrange pencils video? Because I'd love to watch that too! Lol

@ColoringBliss 3 ай бұрын

Great idea! What would a mid range price be to you?

Soucolor has some great glitter paint pen sets too...just to put that in.

Hi Jennifer! Thank you for testing these pencils 😁 I have a question about your testing sheet. With ‘crumbs & sharpening’ and ‘layering’ you use specific colours (green and purple). Why these colours?

@ShoshiPlatypus 2 ай бұрын

Very interesting. I was sorry that the Amazon Basics only made 6th place as I've just bought a set after hearing so many really favourable reviews of them. I haven't had a chance to try them out properly yet, as I'm still at the swatching stage but they look good and there's a very good choice of colours in the 72. I would have been happier if they had come in a nice zipped case because I don't like the tin and removable trays much - I've got a zipped case on order for them. I'm a recent new subscriber to your channel and so far have loved your reviews - very thorough and interesting. I look forward to exploring your channel further.

I have the Kalour 240 set and I really like them. Prefer them to the Brutfuners. I also got a 72 set of the H&B pencils in the same case you got the Kalours in. Have to say I think the H&B and Kalour are exactly the same pencils. X

@lindakelly7430 3 ай бұрын

Meant to say that the Artistro pencils are nearly £57 for 72 in the UK....so not really a budget brand here!
