As a german I have to say, that Faber Castell might not be the best brand but they're pretty good and I love most of the stuff I've tried...about them being overpriced: they might be in the US idk but since they're made in germany they're actually pretty cheap, one colored pencil is less than 2€ and it's generally very affordable

Faber Castelle Pitt pens are my favorite second only to the Pigma brush pens. They’re water-fast, which makes them great for drawing when you intend to paint over later with watercolor. The Sakura pens only come in limited colors, and the Pitt pens come in tons (120?) of great colors. The white set is even pretty good, though the saturation level could be better.

I had no idea that RoseArt was discontinued, but that explains why I haven't seen it in a while. Honestly, I'm going to miss those crayons with the weird waxy film and the terrible scissors that break apart way too easily.

Imo Faber Castel makes amazing pencils/ pencil paraphernalia. The 1mm lead is leaps better than the competition and pretty affordable.

As an artist that uses Sharpies with watercolor, I'm happy about the God Tier place. Once you get used to using them and how bold they are. Sharpies blend so beautifully with one another just *chef's kiss* They really bring the best out in watercolor when layered over top (at least with my style.)

You should really check out Faber Castell's 'Goldfaber' line of coloured pencils. Smooth, blendable, 45 colours, and they play well with the Prismacolor Premiers since a lot of the Goldfaber colours are near to but just different enough than the Prismacolor Premier pallet. May Green, just might be my new favourite colour. (Apologies to Chartreuse.)

because of how similar the logo is and the quality of the products i definitely always assumed crazart took over roseart.

hi

sort of interesting to see copic have a sort of "fall from grace" over the years. where in pretty recent memory they had basically a monopoly on alcohol markers since their only competition were store brands that never had a brush nib and were very limited in colors, and office supplies like sharpies that mostly come in very satuated colors. now we have all these less expensive brands and all these new marker artists who are starting out on these brands over copic. and from what i've seen, while artists who have used copics first still have a strong preference for copics because of their blendability, brush nibs, and just the fact that they come in the most colors, people who "upgrade" to copic from a a cheaper brand HATES them. I feel like this is because the high price of copics have been highlighted and the things that copic has over other brands still don't make it worth the $7 ish they cost, and these artists will rather deal with the shortcomings of cheaper brands by using color pencils to help with not having an inbetween shade or buying individual markers replacements cause the whole marker is cheaper than a whole copic refill.

Interesting comment. I like your perspective. I'm one of those artists who started with Copics so I love them because they are refillable and you can even replace the nibs. I've also had Ohuhus but I didn't like them as much only because I couldn't buy a refill when I used up my favorite colors or frayed the nib. The quality of Ohuhu is great and I loved it for how easy it was to get a lot of colors, it's just you can't refill them or replace the nib. I would recommend Ohuhu and other cheap brands to beginner marker artists and then once you know you enjoy them and its worth it, upgrade to Copic. If you bought Ohuhu and didn't enjoy using markers, then it's not a big loss if you're never gonna use them again. I would not recommend Copic to beginners because it's too expensive! And that's coming from someone who began with Copics!

I really dislike Canson paper for some reason. Not a fan of Strathmore either. Then again, when I was young and had a real job and no children, I could afford really good paper like Fabriano and Arches, so I’m kind of spoiled. Windsor and Newton watercolors are awesome, the series 7 brushes are beyond fantastic but oh man are they expensive. The Cotman brushes are really good and much less expensive.

@@Forgefaerie well in my country set of 12 zig is cheaper than 12 tombows. I get you, I think I prefer water based markers too, they're just so much more versatile right? You're basically wasting alcohol ink if you're not using marker paper and they don't blend nicely then, I'm definitely all for mix media. Oh and BTW - white Pitt pen is so so much better for highlights than any gel pen! And actually cheaper than a good white gel pen.

@@SilentProti ah, that would make sense - for me smaller packs of zig's on amazon are more expensive then tombows from blick art supply by FAR. and thank you for the tip on white pit pen! I have been searching for a good white highlight I can use lazily/quickly and so far I hated everything. people swear by uniball pens, but I didn't like mine at all. I end up resorting to either white gouache with a detail brush, or prismacolor white pencil, but its just not ideal for some things. going to grab one next time I'm doing blick order (which is probably in a fall sometime)

I love your videos so much keep going

Since you're asking for specific Faber-Castell recommendations, their 9000 line is pretty much the only pencil I ever use. The shape of it feels really good to use, and they lay down graphite really well.

Heyy rae I wanted to say thank you so much for this video, as a newbie this was really helpful...aslo thank you so much for being honest

Thank you Rae for telling us more about art supply brands

I love Faber-Castellixed media paper it's my favourite mixed media paper you can buy! I've tried all the popular UK brands x

i had some faber castell watercolor pencils in high school!! i think it was the art grip aquarelle 12 set. the price was really affordable compared to others at the store, the colors were nice and vibrant, the carrying tin kept them protected in my backpack, and overall they were a great set for a student :)

Been watching u for a years now and u never disappointed keep up the good work Rae

FINALLY A NEW VIDEO! YOU INSPIRE ME SO MUCH!! I wanna know what pen rack thing do you use? I ve been wanting one for ages but cant get ahold of one! keep it up rae!!

I found my love for art with Roseart Colored Pencils, and a Newsprint drawing pad. Both of which were complete trash, but it got me hooked. And my Mamaw was the one who got it for me, in 1993, when I was spending the summer with her after my papaw passed away, while I had chickenpox. One of my best memories of her. If it wasn't for Roseart, chickenpox, and a blockage in my papaws heart, I may not have ever picked up a love for art. Thanks Roseart!

My husband got me the 216 Ohuhu brush tip set for my birthday because I saw your video on them and I LOVE THEM 🥰

Thank you for bringing me back into drawing Rae ❤️

HI RAEE love your videos! They are both good and inspiring!! Edit: I DIDN’T REALISE I WAS FIRST!! :DD

Throughout the video i was focusing on your makeup and how pretty you looked that I had an idea that you should do your makeup with the art supplies you own! Brushes and all

About a week ago I bought a set of colouring pencils that were metallic. And almost none of them appeared metallic on the paper but I don’t regret buying them.

One of my favorite brands (based on my budget) for myself and my nieces (ages 7-10): Arteza. Guessing prior to watching the video that they fit in the upper-middle. (Edit: We bought them when they were cheaper. It's gone up.) As for Roseart... During the 80s and 90s, sometimes we just got what we got. There was no Amazon, and most places were lucky to have supplies in Wal-Mart. Roseart meant well when we didn't have other options :)

Just found your channel! So love it!

Hi Rae. I always love to watch your videos. I binge on it so much. Recently, I've been seeing this brand called "Mont Marte" on my local art stores and wanted to see reviews of it but there are too little of those. So, would you please review that brand is you're okay with it?

add general pencils and Weber art (hint: real bob ross art supplies

Great video. Love the colours in your hair. Have you ever tried Mijello watercolour paint? I'd be interested to hear what you think of them compared to Winsor & Newton.

general's also makes watercolor pencils, they were the first watercolor pencils i have use, they work great and work well when mixing regular watercolor with them

I love ohuhu, I wish they had refill options sooner, but I believe they have them now or are currently working on them.

Ryan O"Rouke (not sure on spelling it) is an amazing artist on KZread. He uses Artist Loft Acrylic and oil paints. Funny how ,in the art world what works for one may not be good for our personal preference. It is so peaceful in this world. We all can use more of that!

I've only tried the artist loft journals/papers and I'm happy with it.

I’m taking this video for a bit of advice but i have a lovely Fabre castell mixed media art book (got it from Amazon) also love your videos

Was living in Austria the first half of my life and now living in Germany and have to say i don't think Faber-Castell is overpriced tbh - maybe it is in the USA. The quality is - especially with the Polychromos, mechanical pencils and Artist Qualitiy Stuff - really worth the money, so i was really a bit upset that you put them in the "Meh, Just Okay" line. And i really had to laugh when you put prismacolor in "God Tier" because their quality is so bad, like, their cores are not centered, the wood is often splintered, they are a pain to sharpen etc. I know this is all your opinion and everybody loves different stuff, these are just my 2 cents i had to comment :D Btw thank you so much for pointing out the whole Bob Ross stuff, that is so sad, especially for his family, shame on his business partners!

Yeah. I agree. Putting copic as "just ok" was also mildly frustrating

Faber castell is easier to get if you live in Europe though, they don't even sell prismacolour at most art stores where I live, but with faber castell there are a lot of options.

Heyyy Rae I love your vids your amazing and always put a smile on my face, you could do a video where you use soft pastels. I hope you have a wonderful day seeeee yaaaaaa😊❤️

I remember getting these duo color faber castell markers for Christmas one year. I used them exclusively for so long because they were just amazing.

Caran D'Ache is an expensive brand abroad ? I didn't know that ! they make tons of art supply in Switzerland and most of my classmate used this brand in class (those water soluble pencils are soooo famous here and not that $$$)

Let me put it this way: If I, a person from Latin America, wanted the 24 color box, I would have to sell one of my kidneys to pay them. So yes, they are way overpriced overseas, hence why most people in Latin America buy Prismacolor (Premier or Junior) or Faber Castell (the ones with the red box, not the Polychromos).

I've not even watched fully yet, but I know it's gonna be AWESOME!! I love your videos!! Your one of the best art KZreadrs I know!! Love from India

Great vid and great info. Thank you.

Generals also makes a Carbon pencil. It's the layout extra black pencil, it's great for asthmatics who want the darkness of charcoal without the dust. And you can get a huge pack on Amazon for under $20. I definitely recommend that pencil.
