Love this book and your work with this page is beautiful 🎉

Wow, mine seems to be a much better set and I've had only 1 or 2 problems. I have many others I like as well, but different pencils are handled differently and you make no allowance for that.

I'm from Portugal and here 150 Prismas cost over 250 EUROS! It's very very expensive and for me, as a beginner is hard to see many tutorials using nothing but primas.. and we know the laydown of these pencils does not compare to any other brand, so you end up getting lost in the tutorials 😢 Ofc I have to mention the "get all the pencils" monster hammering away in my head about them 😅

Thank you for sharing the chart. I haven't purchased it yet, but I will soon. I ordered the book and plan on sharing it. I appreciate your hard work ❤

Another great video. I have saved it for later but I also watched it. I do hope you're ok and will make more videos. Thank you ❤

A great video for beginners. I would like to see the coloring books. I do hope in the future, you'll be able to do more videos. Thank you❤

Awesome! keep it up!

Beautiful back ground, just wondering is that a normal pencil or a watercolour pencil....

Thank you so much ❤🎉

Ive still got my 60 set from 1985. Got several other sets thru the years. Im a fan. Its like anything else. You learn how to use your tools thru time and passion.

Stunning ❤

Not pronounced ’basewood’ “a” as in “apple” or “ass.”. b-ass-wood. It’s a common hardwood tree, soft and light, consistent nice grain.

saw it too late xD .... got right now next to my 320 already owned ( and a smaller mixed kit ) the skin, pastel and grey ton set.. just to figure out, I didn't needed all of them xD...

I Am not sure if I missed it. But when I searched on dutch art supply website for the 100 set, the description said that the skin tone set, and the pastel/neon set where both part of the 100 set. The only set that is not a part of the 100 set is the set of 12 metallics. But do you have all of the skin tones 3 times now?? Are all the skin tones part of the 100 set?? I feel confused... 😬

You don’t know how to use them. It is different than you are used to and you didn’t make adjustments. All the people who love them are not wrong.

Do you have a link for the Derwent water brushes.

I really like speed colouring. So quicker to see how it all comes together

What are you using to color in the pastel backgrounds? Looks like a towel of some kind.

Where do you find them so cheap? Im seeing 170

Love this! Also, love the way you have all your alphabet stamps, easily accessible to run through and figure out what’s gonna work!

Please bring on the coloring books. This video was so enjoyable and informative! Love all your insights on the pencils, and seeing everyone’s pencil, pen, and book collections. Thank you for sharing!

I like the idea of the storybook coloring pages. Didn't realize that ship was the same that landed on the other pag. I will have to consider that in future colors for that book and others.

And please dig into chromaflow As Derwent announced 150 set . We will love to see the comparison with both prisma and coloursoft

Very interesting and detailed video Love watching it

☹️ Promo-SM

Enjoyed the speed coloring with the dub music mix in the background ^^🎉🎉

I absolutely want to see your coloring book collection! and ty for the tip about the tricolor pen. I always thought it was more targeted towards sketchbook work, but now you convinced me to get them for actual coloring work. Ty have nice day!

Forgive my brief comment, but it sounds like your experience mirrors my own over the last year. I’ve been chatting with Connie over at colouring chemist (KZfaq) due to these issues. To cut a very long story short CC gave me the same info and explanations as you, they were good and did replace all the open stock that didn’t work dozens several in each colour. Interestingly I too have an extensive collection of classiques old body same as the single blender you gave that all work fine , along side some 5 year old illustrators that work find to the point of brilliance colour chips on the classique, just don’t have colour names, which is frustrating at someone with with colour limited vision 😂😂😂. However the pens are great Copic ohuhu comparable. Things have totally gone down the pan since the new website, I optimistically ordered a 36 set of illustrator on sale (which did work) But as you point out refills abd open stock disappeared pending an update, I spoke to CC today given the amount of cost investment, to be told they can’t tell me if the rebranded refills and markers will be compatible with what I describe as legacy products, or whether they will follow the also relaunched colorista line, old name aimed at colourists new tombow style pen, which I also bought on mega sale they are very good but reuse old colour names for totally different colours e.g. pastal rather than vivid tones. The lady also said they’d be launching in summer so less than three months, but they at the uk end gave no idea what orifices will do, compare to or look like, even though we’ve all spent hundreds of £££, she was apologetic, but that’s not good enough for an end. Consumer, neither is letting the design team know, I bought the markers as a Copic uk based (design) comparable product, it now looks like I have a giant heap of single use markers, that I will have to recycle when the few refills I have run out 😔. Sorry for the not so brief rant but I’ve become increasingly annoyed over the last 6 months with the pr strategy and communication at CC, not customer service but the actual marketing strategy and communication. If you’re discontinuing a project, be honest about it, don’t wait till people bought extra on sale or replacements thinking it was an odd defective marker to then go. Sorry, we pulled the product from production, let people save their money and wait for the new launch product (I’m very sceptical about anything new to do with these markers now, which is a real shame, as I love supporting a UK based company) . As mentioned, I now own the ohuhus, post-Black Friday sale, as well as a moderate collection of copics. Which I bought, as they were the only refillable option available at the time. As an aside, when refilling a marker, with clear alcohol, or a refill, always pull the chisel nib, if it has a brush nib option drip the product down into the nib, slowly filters down into the core. I’m thinking of trying the olo markers next, very expensive, but ohuhu don’t yet offer a full range of refills, and olo is a pure ink half cartridge so equates to ten illustrator style marks as the refill is all liquid.

I hope that prismacolor never eliminates their metallic gold and silver (their bronze is a regular color, not a metallic) or neon pencils because I love using them! The prismacolor gold is, I think, the most realistic gold out there. The neons are wonderful for injecting light into a drawing, note: a good example is that lion drawing on one of the pencil kits for a very fancy example. In my everyday journal I use neon pencils to draw a sun if it is sunny that day and enjoy the color pencil practice of drawing spheres with the prismacolor neons. I have found that after watching/listening to utube videos on color penciling for almost 14 years, we have a tendency to think if we don't use it then maybe others don't either. I know there are others who say get rid of the neons and metallics, but I try and put it out there that some of us love and use them on a regular basis. I agree with prismacolor going downhill when the company changed hands back in around 2012, I believe. It really is a shame cause prismacolors before all the utube coloring hoopla began, were the creme de la creme of the art world in America. There weren't many options, certiainly not hundreds of sets of cheaper pencil sets available today back then. It seems the core of prismacolors are still pretty much the same, but the wood they use is just awful! It has been common practice for some time now that when any kind of company changes hands, they are most likely to make some undesirable changes in order to save $$ usually. It's like they have to "learn their lesson"--if they ever choose to--that they should not try to make those changes because they will alienate their original customers.

Here they are 265 euro, thats 284 dollar, omg i really want that set but here in the netherlands so expensive :(

Hi, Derwent chromaflow 150 colors set, just announced, I start to save for the set (not full price release)

Great work Becky, TY

Slayy

Bring it to class next Monday!!

This is so slay!!! ❤❤❤

I’d love to see your coloring books and even your whole studio area if you felt comfortable. I enjoy your channel!

I am obsessed with Derwent Lightfast: those earthy tones are life

This video is fantastic! I genuinely can’t express how much I appreciate the work you put into the color chart and this video. I’m only about 6 months into adult coloring and have only worked with pencils, but have been curious about alcohol markers too and basing with them. Your channel has quickly become a favorite! I really appreciate how down to earth you are and that you actually use your supplies. Wishing you the best of luck with your channel, I’ll be catching up on your past videos!

I would love to see your coloring book collection and recommendations 😊 Thank you for sharing your pencils

I have so many on my to buy list its a shame. TFS!

The best video I have seen dealing with this brand & how each set may have duplicates with the 320! Thank you so much!

The trick for off center ones is to wrap then in towel, then a heating pad around them on med- high for 15-20 mins. Let them cool, it will take a while. You are now good to go! It softens the wax just enough so even if it's off center it is now adhered to the wood casing and you should stop get that tip that keeps falling out of the pencil when you sharpen. Hope this helps someone!!

I love my inktense. I also like their graphitint pencils pretty muted colors.

Great set! The big brush pens are still available in the US, happily and they are juicer

Where ya get that case

Check out this link from Muse Kits for Spectrum Noir markers. Not sure if it is worth the effort since other brands seem to hold up so much better. I have prisms color markers that are about 10 years old and they work great!! Enjoyed your video! kzfaq.infocpGtNRW4LWI?si=-mSlMCFRXYvgSLZM

i found this out. Spectrum noir don't stand the test of time. Just buy a cheep brand and buy more when they run out. But but but !!!! I have alcohol markers i brought back in 1994 and they are ok. Pro markers are a good brand. and i keep them upright. I never had an issue. But spectrum noir just dont last.

Jennifer over at coloring bliss just tested her 5 year old ohuhu markers and they perform the same as new ones. Copics are known for their longevity. So I don’t think it’s about shelf life. Just quality of these markers.
