Hi Kasey! I believe that these are just fancy crayons, but technically pastels are pigment and the best have minimal binders. Some binders reduce the price for the more binder, wax, oil, chalk, etc. the cheaper the supply! Most of the time wax crayons, like Crayola have very little pigment and this is where you can get texture from the binders (wax) that build up on the surface of artwork. I believe that you have made it work for you and your truly amazing style! I will also mention that the better your supplies the more permanent the finished artwork will be. I hope you have enjoyed creating these as much as we have watching you do so! Please take care, be safe and enjoy the Holidays. Thank you for sharing your “year” of the crayon artworks, you are truly inspirational and so fun too!

Thank you for this explanation! I love oil pastels and have dabbled in soft pastel sticks as well as pastel pencils. I really enjoy working with Crayola crayons as well, and I have some "artist crayons" to try. Now I know that these Caran D'Ache crayons exist, and I will probably graduate to them if I decide I want to go further in crayons than Crayola can take me.

Also pastels atleast soft pastels don't have wax or oil. Atleast not in a larger/prominent amount. They're actually clay based. Thats why they have that chalk like texture. And also why they have (usually) such pure pretty pigment (color). And are usually water-soluble as well as able to be blended with the same solvents used with wax and oil pencils as well. It's very very interesting to see caran dsche make a 'wax pastel'. Not oil, not soft (clay), not the pan pastel (no clue what magical binder is used in that one haha) but wax. Hence why people call them crayons (well that and the obvious crayon shape haha) and compare them to Crayola crayons. Which is hilarious to me. But to be able to put down larger amounts of heavily pigmented, highly lightfast pigments that are wax but also as she mentions, not super waxy in texture, is just amazing to me. These are so awesome. And to use with the neocolor 2s is brilliant as these are water resistant, and neocolor 2s water-soluble gives you endless possibilities. With just precious pigment/color. Sorry I obviously think these are magical and are a wonderful addition to any artists arsenal!

The difference between crayons and wax pastels is about forty bucks, honestly. Artist's grade crayons, really. More pigment, better binder, but they're literally exactly the same thing. :) (Also, was if you that tested out the bambino clay crayons? I bought a set and they are amazing. So if you're to blame for this...thank you. :D)

@Inn3r Warri0r Both are literally identical when you're talking about *wax pastels* vs. oil pastels, which are something completely different than the neocolor 1s. (Caran d'Ache does make oil pastels, called Neopastels, too. THOSE are oil pastels.) The difference between a crayon and a wax pastel is literally just marketing. The grades are different between kids' crayons (less pigment, more binder or filler) and artist's crayons/pastels (way more pigment, more expensive binders), but the actual thing itself is the same.

This is the best Christmas present

Aren't these great? I find that they are basically like Prismacolor Pencils (glorified wax crayons in a questionable wooden casing), except for that Neocolors don't have breakage issues and far less wax bloom. I love using them together.

crayons or not i love what you have done with both the caran d'ashe videos, another thing you should think about is longevity, artist quality supplies will last generations if not longer with proper care i wouldn't rely on cheaper pigments to not discolor with light and time.

I agree. The best reason to buy these crayons are the light fastness.

The Posca pencils go great with these! I use them together regularly.

the smoothness of these pastels (crayons?) bring me such joy i love them so much

Wait… that color chart is so cool

Hi Kasey! This Video brings back memories for me we always had these in school and like not a single little crate had all the colors left and also all of them were like so tiny and used. So this was really fun seeing that you could actually create a really cool illustration with the crayons I always had in school and everyone just played around with!

Illustration looks good! The shading in the background definitely brought everything together in the end. The volcano rainbow (vol-rainbow, rain-cano? I dunno) is a pretty neat idea, too. Also, the vibrant yellow you used on the dinosaurs brings me joy :) Honestly, I think pastels are just upgraded/better crayons? I don't really know, as I've only used them a few times in school.

In my experience, pastels are more similar to the chalk that you use on blackboards or the sidewalk. But you can use them on paper. Very messy, but very cool. They work and feel very differently from crayons. The ones Kasey is using here don't seem similar to those pastels, though.

Wax pastels literally are crayons but higher grade. They hold better pigment, easier to blend or lay and most are water soluble. They are crayons.. That's why I was so confused why you kept saying they aren't crayons. If they're artist grade they should blend, they shouldn't leave that texture or that weird buildup... Unless you use a textured paper. Which I suggest you try with them if that's the effect you want. They should also have a better lightfastness and better for art to last. Pastel can be wax, chalk or oil. The word pastel just means a crayon made of pigment binded by resin or gum.

Can you consider doing Storybook or Fairytale characters and scenes as a series in your style? If you decide to please start with Alice in Wonderland! Love your art so unique.

In French « pastels gras » is used for oil pastels and wax pastels (also know as crayons in English) This set is call “crayons à la cire” on the french market, same as the crayola sets. I think it really is crayons ^^

From my experience, pastels are really just higher quality crayons. I think it may be because crayon sounds like it's meant for children and pastel sounds more professional?

I absolutely love how excited you get over art supplies! I’m always super bad at reacting to new things but you are so passionate about everything and I envy you so much!

i have absolutley loved these videos, thank you for making them :-)

I'm a swissteacher and in our school the students each get a 18 color box of neocolor 1 to use in school. And we have a bunch of neocolor 2 boxes. It's really fun mixing both of the on the same picture: first neocolor 1, then neocolor 2, last paint with just water over it.

I CHALLENGE YOU TO: try them with the neocolor 2's, use them without being heavy handed and trying to smudge them! They're a very unique formula so you can do a lot with them that you can't with others like layering with other media! Just be careful not to mess up your bullet tip markers trying to get them to write on top~

Thank you Kasey, Merry Christmas and Prosperous 2022. Thank you for the inspiration. I did the month of the crayons in August 2021. I learned alot about composition and layers and colour theory using crayons. But there's one crayons I never saw you used that's handmade bee wax crayons. Did you learn a lot during using crayons too?

I love your art 🎨

Satisfying colorful 🌈crayons🖍️✨👍

Its so buttery that it looks like oil pastel

they are just really nice fancy crayons with a price to match

The cat dinosaurs are adorable

You have improved so much

I would love to see some kind of ghost illustrations with this crayon so that you can layer them and make it feel like transparency 🥰😅

The application of the Neocolor I look smoother than my Neocolor II it is that probably the other binding agent influences it. The colour scheme is a little different from the Neocolor II. I bought the 84 set, which was the largest at the time, and about six months later it was expanded to 126, and I ordered the missing ones in the art shop and swatched them at home I noticed that I couldn't paint the sahara yellow and looked at the pastel on it, and it was a Neocolor I. I said that the next time I was in the shop, and they said that they would order them again, and I believe that they forgot.

molotow markers go on top of these crayons quite well, and you can get them with 1mm tip. Posca probably works well too.

Have you tried the Marabu Art Crayons? They’re also different from crayons such as Mattel but are fun to use.

I luv how kasey at the beginning ws like *really fancy crayons* then all the way thro she ws like *Well.... I they might be pastels??!* We luv chaotic Kasey! 😜

Only Kasey can be like "You know what? Cat-dinosaurs and a rainbow-volcano." And I won't ask any questions about it. Pfft. Really nice artwork! :D

About a month after personally watching this I came across Crayola Oil Pastels in my local dollar store that isn't a chain and it looks like they're available online. Have you heard of them?

Hey, make a anallysis about the Daiso Crayons!!!

Personally I differentiate between pastels and crayons based on the type of binder used to hold the pigment. This is just my own feelings: -crayons: wax binder -oil pastels: oil binder -soft pastels: chalk binder(less) -hard pastels: chalk binder(more) But I’m sure someone who is more versed in producing art supplies has a better grasp of this concept, lol.

why am i getting excited over crayons!?!!

Since (most) of the colors are lightfast I think these crayons are worth the money. $2+ per crayon seems expensive, but you will preserve your artwork for a lifetime. Art collectors will appreciate the artwork doesn’t fade.(muted colors will happen if an artist use inferior crayons)

Pastels are different from crayons, yes. There's a bunch of techniques with them you can't do with crayons. One is drawing rings and dragging a blending stub through them to make "fireworks" or tie tye. They're soft and blend able. You can also do textured paintings with a palette knife.

I can't count the amount of times I got the urge to blow away the crayon bits even tho I was well aware it was a video

That is the best way to start a video ever, omg "You know what you need? A cat with a juicy butt-" like, I had to rewind to make sure that's what I heard since I'm so tired XD

Caran d'ache is the best

I would be interested in knowing what happens when you use the white one over the others.

Have you tried Marabu Art Crayons? They are water soluble but crayon is in the name XD

Does this mean next year is gonna be the year of pastels?????

You also wouldnt have to press that hard if you built up layers and used a blending stub or other methods.

I wish you would fill a spread in your sketchbook with these or maybe a mix of crayons.

A ‘crayon’ is a wax pastel.
