    I believe that was the first video I of yours that I watched!! I worked for years as an artist, but stopped about 15 years ago and haven't really done anything in all that time. Something clicked in my head (heart?) recently and I've dove back into drawing/painting/etc. I'd never really done much with color pencils, which is how I ended up finding your video. "Sadly" now I am coming to understand why people have so many types and sets!! (I catch myself seeing a set in the store and wondering what they look/feel like and tell myself I do not 'need' more).

    This was terrific for how the pencils I have perform on different papers. Thanks for doing such massive research. I am struggling with using colored pencil over the top of ink in my Neurographica drawings. colored pencil paper is THE WORST. Even the copic multiliner ink drags out into my beautiful pastel colors and turns them gray. In this drawing technique, being able to color over the inking lines is ESSENTIAL. I love the method, but the ink smear is the madness. HELP! lol

    I've said this for years. I would gladly spend $40 on a coloring book that was printed on and intended for a specific medium or mixture. Marketed that way for example "Intended for marker base with pencil finish work" and labeled specifically such as Bristol Smooth with weight and all. Such a needed product in the coloring industry. Please Sarah, partner with Kerby and make this product! You're wonderful btw. Oh and ask him not to add so much shading.

    I can completely understand. I have sets of profesional pencils but it doesn't give them the full justice of what they can actually do if you do not use them on quality paper. The quality of paper is just as important as the quality of the pencils. Such a shame whem you get beautiful pictures in colouring books only to find that they are printed on standard printer paper. I'm really struggling to find a printer that is a multifunctional laser printer that will print on 300 gsm artist paper. If you have any ideas of what printers are capable I would really appreciate if you could let me know. What printer do you use. The exact Model and type.

It is especially produced for printing photos but I don’t print photos for a family album ;-) That also means this printer can print images in the most incredible colours and is very sharp with printing. I’ve tested the paper it could handle. This printer printed a coloringpage on 270gsm (strathmore 300-Bristol vellum). It worked well. I must say that I could hear the printer was going to it’s ‘max’. The 250gsm went very easy and smooth. The 270gsm took him a bit more power.

But great video, my local art store is very on top of the best quality stuff on the maked and go out of there way to stock everything they can of the top quality stuff, so they sell most of the high end paprr brands in you video pluss a buch more that possible to get here in europe

    In my personal opinion and experience, paper is quite likely the most important consideration for use with colored pencil and to be honest, any medium. I endured so much frustration and really thought I was just terrible with colored pencils due to using the wrong paper or trying to color on standard printer paper or coloring book pages. I simply could not get the pencils to blend and layer as I thought they should. I know it might seem trivial and silly to a lot of people, but I ended up in tears a lot of times because I wasn't achieving what I wanted to do with colored pencil. I wish I had seen a video like this during that time and understood the importance of using the right paper. It would have saved me so much time and frustration. Everyone who is serious about colored pencil art needs to know these things. Paper quality matters more than the pencils, in my opinion. I look forward to seeing your Crayola challenge. I have several different types and brands of pencils and am always very interested in seeing how different pencils work on different papers. Thank you for this much-needed video!

I saw some nice whites in the video, but they were quite hard to really get to see them; and an Officeworks is just too far from me to go and flick through for 'feel'.

    I bought Neenah Chardstock a few years ago from the Create & Craft channel. Brilliant for printing and markers, and I also found that my WH Smith Spectrum Sings pencils laid down so smoothly on the card.

    I know, I'm a little late to watching the video, but I just stumbled across your channel. Thank you for testing all the papers, it helps me out a lot, because I love coloring with watercolor pencils and have tried so many papers and was still unsure which is best. For me so far watercolor or mixed media paper was best, mixed media paper warps and buckles when using watercolor pencils and wetting it over and over, but watercolor paper is so hard to print on....

    Thank You Sarah!! So Very Helpful!! Truly a wealth of information that will help many with the confusion & frustration when first printing out coloring images!! I'm not sure if you have done your pencil sharpener video you mentioned but my vote for best all round budget sharpener is the Faber Castell 3in1 only downside is that I wear out the blades so quickly but it is affordable enough that I can just buy a new one about every 4-6 months!! Thanks again for all your commitment & hard work!! Cheers!!

    I found the core’dinations smooth white card stock from Walmart is amazing with alcohol markers and very affordable! But I’m in Canada and socked up a while ago so this tip varies in usefulness.

    Good video with a lot of information too! I am one of those who have almost completely stopped using wood pulp papers! 100% cotton just works so much better and last in the long term for preserving your art as well! Hey you got a new sub too!

    Thank you! I am excited to use the 100% cotton papers properly soon for my artwork. I’m interested to see just how much better they are with the layering and details of a larger piece over a few hours!

    If you can get hold of it the Claire Fontaine satine works well for coloured pencils. Expensive, but if you are doing something to sell it is good.

    great video by the way. well the way I see it yes it is individual choice but it also depends on what your intention are for example watercolours paper yes there are so many brands but each has their purpose; you might want to frame it, give it as gift or sell it.etc

    I made some protest signs using a watercolour bristol pad and sharpies, and I really liked how it turned out. The colours were deep and the drawing pad stiff enough for me to hold up. I would like something bigger tho, like A3-2, I realize I like drawing big. But alas, stores won't let me in to buy more art supplies. Gonna have to buy online. At least I can browse for more options.

    Have just discovered your channel and working my way through the videos. This paper one was interesting and I wondered if you have done experiments on printers or inks. My annoying problem is printing a picture only to find the ink bleeds using watercolour or alcohol markers muddying the colours on different paper

    100k 😂 ambitious! Hahahaha subscribed! Who doesn’t need polychromos in life. Thanks for sharing this knowledge about papers. Very detailed. I love the black paper. To me its a whole other medium. I use pastel pencils with it as you will find that your regular coloured pencils don’t perform the way they do on white paper. Have fun experimenting with it.
