I would really like to try the dark black winged pencil. Since I draw so light naturally, this would help a lot. It was a very interesting video, as always Karen! I don't think I would have bothered with the project because that seems too time-consuming and I have very little time now. Thank you Karen for another wonderful video.

After watching i looked around for the best price on these. I found some at the General Store. So I purchased one limited box -the blackwing 223 pencils and a mixed box that I don’t remember all the numbers. I’ve been using the 602, the white one (with a blue eraser), and I’m going to start working with 223. From what I’ve been drawing with I’m enjoying the 602. I really like the eraser shape also. Thanks for the review, They are cool.

A few months back I ordered a box of 12 matte Blackwing pencils. When I told my partner that I paid a ridiculous amount of money for 12 pencils and showed them to him, he said he had one of those. He went out to our pottery studio and came in with a very short Blackwing pencil. It's a 602 and after a little research discovered that it was mfg. prior to 1998, and used ones were selling on Ebay for $40! I love my matte Blackwings. They are my go to pencils for everything.

What a fabulous video Karen! I love watching your videos, I always learn something. This time I learned not to buy the Blackwing subscription box. If you have trouble with the extras that come in the box, there’s no hope for me.💜 Yuppers, I love Blackwings and buy them by the dozen. Who’s fault is this? Yours of course, and I thank you for it every single time I pick up 1 to draw with. My favorite is the deep dark soft graphite of the black ones. This month I tried a new one, Blackwing Vol. 93, it’s still the same deep dark black soft graphite but in a pretty multi color pencil with a white eraser. I don’t know if it’s possible but it seems even darker than my regular Blackwings.💜 💜💜

Hi Karen- I love drawing with the white blackwing. I purchased the 3 set years ago and I grab the white one most. I think they are kind of magical too. Usually I use my pentel mechanical pencil. I’m kind of precious with blackwing. Honestly, whenever I draw with blackwing my drawing come out better but I hesitate to say this bc it sounds ridiculous.😂 Your drawings are amazing! I can’t believe the crap in your subscription box and I’m not talking about the pencils. WTF? Looking forward to next subscription box. Hopefully better. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. 💕

Thanks, Karen! Loved this video! I never would have heard of the Blackwing, pencil if not for you! And I am so happy I tried them! I bought a second set of three right away and the white handheld sharpener which I LOVE because I do believe it saves graphite compared to any other sharpener especially an automatic sharpener and these are so pricey. I am too tight to waste any graphite in a sharpener lol! Anyway, I have since bought the set of 12 silver and the another set of 12 in the black. If you had EVER told me, I would be spending this much money on pencils I would have laughed in your face! But! I was sold! HOOK, LINE, and SINKER!!! These are worth every single cent and in the long run I save money compared to buying any other pencil. Plus, I love not having to carry around a dozen pencils! These are amazing! I recommend and can't imagine ANYONE not loving them!!! As for the subscription, yea. I agree...that was like homework! But people like my oldest son, Josiah, would love that! Not me!!! I just want my silver and black Blackwing, they are both my favorite, but I think I would like that hardest pencil. Those seem like they would erase much better than the others do, without leaving shadows behind. I will definitely try those sometime because I still do a lot of erasing. And my white sharpener is a favorite too. That's my two cents.

I am totally obcessed with Blackwings. I have the 4 basic and use them all. I even spent $18 for a single Lab II.26.21 Blackwing (blue barrel). They did a test run of the Lab when they were thinking of adding it to the basic line. Unfortunately they did not make more than the test run. It's darkness is between the Black Matte and the White Pearl. I love it but use it sparringly for obvious reasons. I have compared Blackwings to virtually every drafting and artist pencil that exists and Blackwing beats them all for me. BtW I love the eraser too!

The starter trio set is great to start with, if I may be so bold as to make that recommendation! It’s just nice to be able to FEEL and see the difference between the graphites! But I get it. They aren’t cheap!!
I think Blackwing should know that watching the needless project addition could be enough to convince me not to buy a subscription. I'd much prefer product. Think how small the box actually needed to be, and why they are using some pieces of paper to justify making it look like a "big deal" before you open it. I would be immediately disappointed.

@@alanalendvay6131 Hahaa I’m a trying my best! Moving my kid out of the college dorm and had some time to kill yesterday and saw your note. Couldn’t leave you hanging!!!
A BW subscription box? That seems like a bit of money to be spending on pencils - I mean that your supply will easily outrun your use - even if you draw a lot ... My kids are always "borrowing" my pencils too. I'd rather just buy the one that is magical by the dozen and keep the box locked in a safe - (lol, JK)!

Well in fairness they are $2/pencil in the boxes and at the rate I draw and write that’s a deal when I normally spend more! But when my kids were littler you bet I never would have signed up either!!!
hahahahha lmbo!! First of all, as I know you well, you might have been being polite.. but I know what words you were using in your head! hahahahaha Second of all. I would be so mad if I got a subscription box that had whatever that piece of equipment was. I want art supplies and nothing but art supplies in a subscription box. So yep, I would have considered that an epic fail on their part.. jmho..

I seriously wouldn't waste my time trying to figure it out cuz I know I wouldn't do it right and it would be too much trouble.

Aren't they intended as writing pencils? I owuldn't expect them to be good for shading at all.

I can’t wait to try out the black… but the project? Come on, black wing, for the price of the subscription, I would expect something more than gimmicky projects…way to be a positive player, Karen, and take a stab at it-😂

Always on alert for security, I just wanted to mention that you may wish to be aware that your address showed clearly in this video. Maybe edit the video to black that out?
