$1 vs. $400 Colored Pencil Review | Does Price REALLY Matter?

[@joaoaraujo2296]

I have a personal rating for colored pencils: 5 - professional - indicated for art comissions. are lightfast and are amazing overall except price. Ex. Cara D'Ache Luminance and F.C.Polychromos 4 - great but usually not lightfast. Can be very pricy (ex.: Prismacolor) although there's cheap alternatives Ex.: brutfuner, maybe f.c. classic) 3 - ok - oriented for kids with affordable prices. A bit harder to work with but they can be good enough. Ex.: Crayola, maybe f.c. classic (between a 3 and a 4) $1 12x c. pencils are not impossible to find with enough pigment as Crayola but it's rare. 2 - bad - little pigment, it's hard to work with even for a professional artist. Most $1 c. pencils are in this category 1 - mediocre - these are SO bad that are a bit rare to find. The pigment is almost non existent. I usually use them as blenders or burnishers I recommend buying a cheap 4 for practice (ex.: brutfuner) or digitizing for prints and a 5 if you are doing art comissions.

Any dupes for the PRISMA? ❤

[@sarahinoue]

the arteza colored pencils are really good too!

[@Ivefuckinghadenough]

​@@sarahinoue I sadly just don't find Arteza that good, theres something about it, its crumbs so much and feels weird, I feel like the closest thing to Arteza is Brutfuner.

Cheap pencils are not lightfast :) Always buy the good stuff ( like Polychromos).

[@Ivefuckinghadenough]

And they're not smooth enough or blend nicer :( Thats why you gotta save up and buy fine art supplies from brands like Derwent, Faber-Castell, Caran d'Ache, Holbein and Prismacolor. More cheap options are Arttx, Castle Arts and Brutfuner.

what is lightfastness can u explain

[@Ivefuckinghadenough]

@@idfkwtr lightfastness is essential for artwork, let me explain in the most basic way. Lightfastness is a mediums/pigments resistance to light, because almost every art supply will fade over time, you just can't stop it. This includes colour pencils, watercolours, dyes, pastels, everything you can imagine. Although, the highest quality pigments last up to 100 and even more years, ON museum conditions, (meaning; the best conditions an artwork can be stored, that you have to store the artwork on a cool environment, kept out of sunlight, use fixatives to even increase the lightfastnesses and to preserve and protect the artwork, and only then use polishes, which is also a nice add-on, to give the artwork a shine and glow up, and lastly put it on a high quality glass frame), it should be which is one of the greatest things we have achieved in art. Many artists want their artwork to last a lifetime, like the paintings in museums, so do their clients, because professional art inspectors and buyers use paintings as a collection, and when an art gets old, it's price go higher. How old it is determines how expensive it is, and when its a really-liked art work it costs up to millions. And more likely, wouldn't you want your artwork to look the same after 10 years? It could be an art that holds memories, significance and more. Because lots of art supplies (that are poor quality) fade in 1 to 5 years. That, my friend, one of the best reasons to save significant amount of money, it's definitely worth it to get an expensive and high quality supply, whether medium it is.

Amazing video ❤❤❤

[@Morgaine]

I'll be buying a set of Crayola. I don't need museum grade pencils like Caran D'Ache at this point.
