My channel is about color pencil appreciation. I will cover lots of cool stuff, such as the process of creating hand-drawn coloring books, reviews on colored pencils, and coloring techniques.
The least precious supplies get used the most. Do I use the brand-name drawing papers I have for colored pencil work? Not much. Do I pull out the mystery brand "trash book" I got on clearance at Ross? You betcha, all the time. Also, there's a lot to like about these pencils: the printing on the barrel is large and thick enough to be easily legible. That pearly paint on the end is a nice touch, plus the build quality is better than Prismacolors.

Blick Artists Colored Pencils are manufactured by Koh-I-Noor. I don't mind the Blick colored pencils due to the longevity in which I've owned them, but they aren't the first pencil I normally reach for when I color or draw. My usual go-tos are Prisma, Chromaflow, and Polychromos.

This is a very thoughtful video with a lot of work put into it, and it's so true. There are only so many colored pencil factories in the world, and they are quite capable of creating cores to spec, making them different from competitors even though they may be from the same manufacturer!

I have seen some very popular youtubers make some comments that were simply.... wrong. This was the driving force behind the creation of this video. While I don't have a definitive "These are fake and these are real" answer, I am VERY comfortable saying that just because one factory does multiple brands of pencils, does not mean they are all the same. I will try my best to give the information I know on each of the pencils I talk about 🥰

I really liked that "weird" camera angle around 27:30. I rotate my drawings regularly when I work on them, and I think that's pretty common for others, too. Honestly, it was refreshing to see it from another angle after almost 30 minutes straight over head. I've heard other KZreadrs mention that they hesitate to rotate their pieces or change up the camera angle because they receive complaints from folks, but I think they just lack visuo-spatial intelligence. The rest of us can handle rotated pieces or different camera angles just fine, and some of us relish them!

The least precious supplies get used the most. Do I use the brand-name drawing papers I have for colored pencil work? Not much. Do I pull out the mystery brand "trash book" I got on clearance at Ross? You betcha, all the time. Also, there's a lot to like about these pencils: the printing on the barrel is large and thick enough to be easily legible. That pearly paint on the end is a nice touch, plus the build quality is better than Prismacolors.

See... Great minds think alike. I was literally just working with my ooku set. Actually, I'm trying to working some of my python. Scripting skills to " auto swatch the colors in hue order" but that is a longer running project. Lolol. If I ever get it working the way I envision, I'll send it to you to see if it lives up to an actual "artists eye" for color arrangement. Frankly, my eye is not nearly as discerning and I later wonder "why I thought those 2 colors might be analogous" lolol.
