[@MyNameIsShaunnn]

I think kids, especially younger than 10, are just trying to explore their creativity and arent 100% concerned about how a crayon or marker is applied to a sheet of paper. The more professional grade supplies can be more costly and as an example my 5 year old daughter is constantly breaking her crayons or losing them, so I don't think I want to buy those for her just yet. I think it's important to encourage creativity and exploration at this point than worry about which supplies are better. Maybe as they get older and are still interested, we can upgrade their supplies. I'm not gonna give my kid a porcelain mug to drink out of if I know she'll drop it on the floor and shatter it. I thiink there are stages to this. Just my opinion.

[@ADCArtAttack]

I hear you, and you make a great point for that specific age category. For me and my experience, I feel there comes a point when we must trust the young ones to try. When that age is appropriate, that is a personal judgement... but kids and even teens are limited to terrible supplies which limits their artistic growth/interest. If you give someone a thing, and they find they're good with that thing... they'll keep at it. That's why I encourage at least giving them a chance, under supervision if needed, and see where they go.

[@marim0y]

​@ADCArtAttack the right tools can make all the difference.

[@MyNameIsShaunnn]

@@ADCArtAttack I agree with you there. Hope I didn’t come off too snarky. I have a 12 year old in my family whose really into art that I think could benefit from some upgrades if he wanted to. For my daughter, who similarly loves to draw, idk if she’s quite there yet.

[@alexmcd378]

Hard disagree. Crap materials actively turn people away from art because it makes the experience so frustrating. Monte Mart and Amazon basics aren't much more expensive than Walmart, and they won't hobble a kid's interest in art

[@gilbertoflores7397]

The purpose of the crayons/coloring for young is to help develop a kid's fine moter skills, teach them to stay within the lines. Not hold/press hard and do long motions with their hands. That's what a kindergarten teacher was telling me once. That it's a skill that'll transfer into their penmanship and focus down the line. It definitely makes sense seeing how kid's have no concept of letter and number when they first begin going to schools.

[@unlovednekochan94]

I agree with the statement that bad art supplies kill creativity. I used to hate watercolours with burning passion until i got hands to more professional watercolours...and good teachers to teach how to use them.

[@xx_robotkrew_xx1446]

Same here. I used to not like using watercolors, as part of it was that I thought I could only do one type of art with watercolors, which was messily put colors on a paper to make a landscape ( which wasn’t my cup of tea ). I dared trying watercolors again a few years back and while I had no idea what I was doing and the paints were terrible quality ( the brushes were actually very good and I still use them today ), it gave me enough of a push to get a better quality watercolor set. It’s now one of my favorite mediums that I rotate to when I’m interested. Honestly if I didn’t think that if I just had better quality watercolors that my art would look better, I don’t think I would be painting

[@PrinAnie]

My child who loves art, started slowly getting better quality materials as they proved their level of responsibility for those items. When they started putting things away carefully they got a big set of Faber-Castel red classic (about 15). Once they finish those (a number of them are pretty small now) I'll get them Goldfaber.

[@muppet1184]

Maybe art companies like Faber Castel and Prismacolour should consider producing a kid friendly art range with a slightly higher price range than what you get in these cheap art sets with that little bit higher quality. It might just be what is needed in encouraging children to pursue art as a career and not put them off

[@ThePapaja1996]

Faber Castel and Stadler has have child supplies.

[@ghoulchan7525]

Faber Castel actualy does have kids/student lines. it's their red packaging. they are quite common in Europe. Basically if it's red, it's the budget/kids line if it's Green it's the pro stuff.

[@yuna6705]

​@@ghoulchan7525And if it's the white/blue one it's mid level

[@chevgage6210]

They have actually. Prismacolor scholar and any faber castell that isn't polychromos.

[@nicolemitchell446]

Even Caran D’…. (I don’t know how to spell it… sounds like Karen Dash) make a ‘student’ grade, still pretty pricey though 😱 And Derwent have the Academia range. It’s quite reasonable.

[@isabellrogalzeck3280]

There are several videos about artists using Crayola crayons. And they're pictures are gorgeous. I drew and colored a koi fish with Crayola crayons and it was fun and turned out alright. You have to layer the crayons just like watercolor.

[@kathymarshall220]

I used to get so upset that my dad wouldn’t get me the cool looking kids art sets. He’s an artist and I grew up using his art supplies. It wasn’t until I started buying my own art supplies as an adult that I realised a) how lucky I was to have had access to good quality materials from so early on and b) just how incredibly generous and patient my dad was. I literally cringe with horror when I remember just how many of his sable brushes I destroyed 😢

[@ADCArtAttack]

It wasn't until i was around 21 years old when I discovered there were actually good supplies. Haha. I avoided colour for 20 years because I was never exposed to high quality materials, I do wonder how that impacted my growth, and I try to push that forward!

[@dressagebelle]

I agree that they should make adult and artist grade art supplies more fun and colorful. I think that there is still this strange idea that art should be "serious", therefore supplies are boring. In this day and age decent mid range art supplies are quite affordable, and there is no excuse for getting your child the cheapest of the cheap art supplies until someone arbitrarily decides that they are good enough, or serious enough to use artist grade stuff. If your kid at a young age shows in interest in sports say, you don't go out and get the cheapest of the cheap sports equipment, so why do you do that with art supplies? I personally think that those really cheap art sets with multiple mediums need to be banned from store shelves. I have a 4 year old niece who is really into watercolor right now, and while I'm not letting her use my Daniel Smith products, I have gotten good mid range but still affordable paints for her to use. I love seeing the excitement on her face using these products that have great pigment, that look great on paper over the annoyance of using the cheapest of the cheap and not seeing the colors she was wanting on the paper. And if she is messy and destroys the paint pans, well good on her for being so fun and free and artistic, and I hope she continues to enjoy painting rather than getting frustrated at crappy art supplies. As an artist thankfully I know enough to make sure that even at 4 she's getting decent quality supplies to learn and play with.

[@marim0y]

This is wonderful. ❤

[@ChantelleArts]

The difference between bad and good quality colour pencils is insane, it’s always worth the investment 👏🏻✨

[@Eckmayay2]

The Fortnite eraser is just hillarious 😂 Artwork came out amazing as always 😉

[@TinaBeeCrafting]

We had “fat pencils” growing up. Helps you with writing at a young age

[@stephaniedunn9255]

My 8 year old has an eclectic premium art supply stock at his disposal, 320 Ohuhu, brutfuners, Prismacolor, fabercastell, good quality gel pens. Some people ask why I spend so much on these items but they’re shared between us and why wouldn’t I invest in decent quality supplies that fuel my sons creativity?!

[@YourLocal_Renny]

Ur son is sooo lucky i have always wanted prisma colour and ohuhuss i only have. A small packk

[@jkirschart]

Something I do with crayons is use a cotton bud/qtip with a small amount of acetone or nail polish remover and you can surprisingly get great blends. Maybe you can make a video showcasing this!

[@tilkka_]

Big triangle pensils help kiddos on writing. They are quite practical with 1st graders.

[@tilkka_]

Also I was waiting for the BIG pencils to be revued aswell. 😉

[@MonkeyNinja99]

You should make a video about recommended art supplies for kids! Here we see what not to get, but it'd be helpful to see what to get as well. Although I think we all know Ohuhu for markers!

[@Narja23]

I can't agree enough with you. When i was a kid, i was using my mum's childhood set of pencils. There were a 70's line of student grade Faber Castell and i was the queen of the school when it was coming to art despite being one of the poorer kid of the class. Never had any felt tip marker or Crayola because my mum couldn't afford them, but those Faber Castell actually made me love pencils and art ^^ (and a set of gouache pans for kids from German brand made me like painting! Still paint nowadays ^^)

[@jedifaustino8697]

defending dinosaurs is a must

[@dovejensen6166]

The big chunky triangle pencils are the best type to get in the stationary sets, easier to hold and great for grip

[@IngenuityFortress]

I think that kid art supplies can be good for when they start out but as they really start to gain an interest in art, I often tell parents investing in the good stuff is worth it.

[@niorr.6301]

When i think back to my childhood. And i remember that many pencilcases were filled with better pencils as these no name products. But i also remember that i have been so frustrated after getting such cheap pencils and get no color on the paper. And the coloring books from that time had very rough paper! Good to use with watercolors, Markers like these from Pelikan or colored pencils. I loved to color them. But i got for cheap money the red Faber Castell. 12 are even today not to expensive for Kids. But many times better than the no name brands. When my son got his first pencilcase, i changed all inside to the red Faber Castell.

[@squeekmeslowly]

Omg with how excited you are with the pencil cases just adorable lol. Also Merry Xmas (if ya celebrate it) and Happy New Year to you and yours may it be filled with lots of warmth, laughter & good food! Art/stream fam, fur babies & Bob included! Cheers to you and all reading this message! 🤘🏼😊🍺

[@kevinlegobrickmaster8015]

Ya'll remember when having the biggest crayola box set was the biggest flex ever

[@dovejensen6166]

Art supplies are hot or miss with children, Crayola is a good bet for supplies, but they seriously upcharge other brands "for kids" and with collaborations with Big brands/marketing

[@elazybelleorr2472]

As a kid who was very interested in art, I unfortunately lost a lot of passion for it and left it behind so many times, because of the limited supplies I had access to, and the bad quality of the few supplies I could get my hands on. For me a huge part of the reason was because we had zero art shops, or even stores that carried anything besides childrens art supplies and kits for school. I'm sure my parents would have bought me better supplies if they knew how or where to get any besides driving over 3 hours outside of town in order to do so, which just wasnt plausible for us, the cost of the trip alone was too much. But our local stores had an abundance of childrens art supplies and school supplies, crafting materials, the most I really had to rely on was a #2 pencil and crayola colored pencils 😂 which dont get me wrong were great for a while at least. But really dampened my wanting to progress. It would have been awesome had our local stores carried better supplies, even cheaper student grade or just more variery in general. As someone who grew up in a really small town, the only store being a walmart in the next town over, it was rough 😅 i am proud to say that local walmart carries more now then it did then, you can actually buy acrylic paint in the crafting section now for pretty cheap and pretty decent quality, as well as a 12 pack of prisma colors and some cheaper watercolors that can be fun for playing around with if anything. If they had been there then, I dont think think I would have stopped drawing for as long as I did, it wasnt until I was old enough to work for myself and had extra spending money for myself that i really got back into exploring my creative side, and that sucks. I look at the progress I've made now and wish that I had that chance back then.

[@craftymom7748]

Kasey Golden does some cool art with crayons. I would recommend watching a few of her videos.

[@G4m3rKoneko_Keori]

Love the excitement over the dinosaur pencil case... why do i need to see it with your choice of art supplies in it?! Maybe a short?

[@ADCArtAttack]

I gotta make this a thing!!

[@nuhrenholt]

Felt markers do have one situation where they are ABSOLUTE MAGIC! And thats as a beginner pen for toddlers. Particularly the Maped Color Peps, the way they was off, with just a single touch of a wet rag or a swish in the laundrymachine is SO good! I tried the Faber Castell washables too and theyre just not as good 🤷‍♀️ The Maped ones lay down colour quite well too 😊

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Anthony, I have seen several comments mentioning Kasey Golden’s videos and her year of the crayon videos! She did some truly wonderful artworks using several different kinds of crayons! I love the Neocolor 1’s and II’s from CaranD’ache for use in my artworks! They are pastels that are useful for everyone without excessive mess! I hope you have more success with your new venture and I am looking forward to seeing you create more videos with your characters.

[@ADCArtAttack]

I appreciate the insight and suggestion! Should I ever go the route of crayon/pastell, I'll keep these in mind. Though. I'm very much in my comfort zone now, and only branch out for a video or two :)

[@andrewpratt5392]

I love to see how happy you are about dinosaurs, it reminds me of my childhood. I would love to see you create something dinosaur themed because I’m sure your excitement in that video would be contagious.

[@HeavyMetalLover22]

I was feeling down in the dumps before, but seeing how excited you got with the dinosaur pencil case really cheered me up :) Thank you

[@Dr_khelz247]

OOO ❤❤UR ART IS SO CLEAN

[@karl_alan]

With crayons, there is a cool technique where you can out the crayon down heavy, then cover the entire page with india ink or squid ink, and scratch the black away in cool patterns.

[@TheGreyscaleRainbow]

I had the larger set of Crayola crayons as a child and I loved them and still love them. Though, yeah, actually using them to color things is a nightmare, there is just something calming about scribbling with them because the colors are nice and I don't really care about how it looks. I like how they smell too. I keep them around and use them for my loose figure drawings or when I have a bad day and just want to scribble some color down. That being said Kasey Golden has done some great crayon art and I saw a few other artists give it a go! And for adult artists there are water soluble crayons that behave like watercolor so really it's like using a pastel and requires a different technique.

[@JRCGuitarist]

Honestly, I think people are underestimating how resilient kids are when it’s comes to art and creativity. It seems much of this is just us using anecdotal evidence and projecting it onto kids as if most kids will lose faith in art or give up. But let’s be real, most kids don’t let Crayola Crayons deter them from exploring their creativity over the more intermediate and advanced art supplies available. The supplies would have to be particularly low grade, and most of the supplies out there for kids are not terrible in quality, there are artists on KZbin who use children’s art supplies and turn out fantastic work. But I recognise that kids supplies aren’t necessarily on the level that most professionals or adults would appreciate. Kids are smarter and stronger than that. I believe they are fine with most of the name brand options out there. As for those of y’all who did lose faith, I would just say that was more so a nuanced response than a general response to being creative. And that’s fine, but I wouldn’t approach most kids from your context. Instead, words of encouragement and guidance would make more sense. But teach them to be creative with what they have. Now, to be clear, I’m talking about the Crayola level brands, not the off brand supplies. Crayola was popular when I was growing up and we loved those, we even started practicing gradients before knowing what that meant just to push the medium to be more than just putting a down colour. In most cases, kids get creative just fine with what’s out there, at least “name brand” kids art supplies. I learned, after getting my first Crayola box of 64, that you can’t go over a dark colour with a light colour, if I wanted shading. I had to lay down the light colours, and avoid pressing down too hard or they won’t layer the way I wanted to. I messed up a number of pages but keep going and found my colouring getting better. Plus, other kids in my class joined the challenge and we began comparing our pages and learning from each other. Now, if you are talking about the stuff that’s not Crayola quality, then that’s where things get a tad tricky. I hated most of the “off brand” crayons because they beaded up on the paper, very few were actually smooth. But I have to give them credit for teaching me to learn how to handle an irritating medium to the best of my ability and I found myself turning out decent work. So, I chose to use what I had and learned some stuff, we should encourage kids to do the same instead of focusing so much on the materials. Once they reach Pre-teen to teenage years, or you start seeing them getting pretty good at their art, I would say a short trip to Blicks or the like is the next step. Once I showed my elders I was pretty good at art, they stopped buying Crayola and I got the more intermediate stuff. But even then, I stand by Crayola as a necessary first step for a budding child artist. Other than that, the “name brand” kid stuff is actually good for what they are meant for and kids in most cases should do fine being creative with those until they reach a certain level. With that said, I don’t agree with regarding them as “terrible” if one is judging them in comparison to the more intermediate and advanced supplies a professional is used to using. And again, since we come from different countries, I don’t know what would be considered the equivalent of Crayola to other people, and what be considered knock off brand quality. But I would definitely favour the name brand stuff when buying kids art supplies, unless financially it’s not feasible.

[@artsy_dragon_creations]

Super fun experiments. I’m still begging for a Crayola Supertips vs alcohol markers video! Using a watercolor aquabrush as a blender works really well

[@AskMia411]

I know a good use for crayons in art! I won’t claim to be a “good” artist, but I have been an assistant art teacher for a K-6 summer art program for several years. We don’t use crayons much, but when we do it’s usually in tandem with watercolors. The crayon wax acts as a barrier for the watercolors and makes for a striking contrast and patterns in the right hands. It’s also useful for getting darker, more concrete details in a watercolor piece (just make sure you have a good sharpener). One of my favorite pieces I’ve ever done was one of those watercolor/crayon pieces.

[@Zardox2]

I must admit that I was spoiled as it applies to art supplies. My dad was an art teacher at a highschool that had a good budget. (70's... back when art was taught in schools.) I got a ton of supplies. No... not all new... but decent quality, for sure! Crayons existed... but I preferred coloring with the oil pastels. I didn't know that watercolors came in pans/trays, as mine were all in tubes. And the first time I tried a cheap brush, and hairs fell out... I was flabbergasted! I get that parents don't want to spend on "good stuff" for a 5 year old... but you CAN get decent stuff for less. Then buy a cutsey or cool case for the supplies. Colored pencils... get decent ones. Crayons?... try oil pastels instead. Pan watercolors are fine... but PLEASE not the ones from the drugstore toy aisle... And just get a couple of decent brushes. You can even get brushes that hold the water, so your kid won't knock over the rinse glass. It isn't really that expensive, if you just do some looking. Meanwhile... Happy Every Holiday to everyone!

[@krawallkekx]

This Video comes at the perfect time😊 My daughter is turning five in a few weeks and has really started to take an interesst in arts and especially drawing. Since she is alsways lurking around my markers and pencils I have been thinking about getting her her own set of quality supplies for her birthday. I started a sketchbook for her, mixing designs for her to colour in and blank pages so she can really get creative. But I am struggling with comitting to markers. I don't like alcohol markers for her, but have not found a real alternative yet. As for pencils I will stick with faber castell, as even the cheaper options are considerably good. btw the chunky pencils are for meant for kids starting school and learning to write using the right pencil grip. But I totally agree, they feel really good to use.

[@mjpete27]

If I may offer a good alternative to buying artist grade supplies? Look at store brand markers, pencils, paints, paper! Blick’s is a great choice for all of the previously mentioned supplies! Now many of the store brands are better than budget choices such as Brutfuner and the well known Crayola brands. Jerry’s Artarama has the Cezanne line of pencils and they even have alcohol markers and papers made for them and their customers too! Truly wonderful supplies without breaking the bank or emptying your wallet!

[@krawallkekx]

@@mjpete27 thank you for the advice. I don't think we have any of these shops around here. but store brands is a good suggestion for a more budget friendly supply, I will look into that. thanks😊

[@joeblankenship377]

Every once in a while, I get a bit nostalgic for crayons, but they're never as fun as I remember. I've been spoiled on my grown up art supplies.

[@azurebluehc299]

Classroom teacher here. First, we used to insist that Crayola supplies be purchased for the students due to the inferior quality of other brands of supplies geared towards kids. Second, kids lose and break things in school. Supplies are expensive to replace. Third, some teachers use kids' supplies as "community" supplies, mixing everyone's supplies together. Fourth, when a worksheet says, "Color all of the pictures that start with the letter C green," we're not looking for kids to demonstrate their art skills, just their language skills. A green crayon will work and look just fine. Finally, there's a limited amount of time in the school day. Some kids will scribble on some color and call it a day. Others will take their time and may need an additional class period to finish their activity. Watch any KZbinr talk about how long it took them to complete a particular art project and that will tell you right there that the focus is different. Art supplies can be expensive and a classroom teacher's purpose for integrating them into the class day is not to produce a work of art worthy of being hung on a museum wall. Refrigerator, maybe, but not an art museum wall. All that to say that, from a general education classroom perspective, higher quality art supplies really aren't practical. It's like me trying to teach kids breath support and singing from a head voice when all I want is a song to which they can sing the multiplication tables, or one that names the 50 states in alphabetical order. I also wouldn't put a Strad or Amati full size violin in the hands of a 3 year old just starting to learn how to play the violin. It's just impractical. That being said, there is a place for higher quality supplies in school, however. During Art class, the school should supply, or parents be required to purchase, higher quality art supplies so students can learn how to properly care for and use those art supplies. I would hope that after school art classes offer students high quality materials to work with, and, once parents deem that their child is responsible enough to personally own higher quality supplies, parents can purchase the better quality supplies for their kids. (ADCArtAttack does allude to this when he mentions someone being "responsible" enough for better art supplies. Ask any parent of young children. Washable markers have their place!) Companies that are known for producing high quality art supplies should make a line of quality art supplies at a lower price point geared towards kids. A basic set of somewhere between 8-12 colors of some medium would be helpful. It doesn't have to be a set of 24-100+ of anything.

[@edgeyberzerker]

After using a Caran D’ache Neo Color I crayon…. I love crayons! 😂

[@KittyBGaming]

Missed opportunity to use notebook paper than printer paper 😊 It’s what I used back in the day

[@AeroIsOnline]

I agree that companies should make more of the thicker pencils. I've completely screwed up my hand to the point it is nearly impossible to write with a thin pencil without it causing pain from using thin pencils. The only pencils I can write and draw with now are those thick mechanical pencils and even then they are too small so I wrap the base with medical bandage to sorta make a pencil grip. The thick pencils are also really useful for young kids that are first learning to write due to the pencil being easier to hold.

[@Taracinablue]

The cases were cool, but I feel just a zippered pouch would be better, as putting stuff back in the little elastic slots gets tedious in a hurry

[@shanicestella2226]

Speaking about Crayola case , I know it might be not the proffesional artist grade quality art supply but its a getaway for many people into art , For kids issue , i think its more wiser to started with budget friendly art supply then advances into more professional quality when someone skill already reaches intermediate and advance level as someone getting older No one comes from the womb for the first time instantly a genius artist

[@jhunmanlapat4679]

even a simple pencil can create art. It's not in the material, it's in the passion of the person.

[@G4m3rKoneko_Keori]

My niece always tries to use my art supplies instead of hers. Some think its because they are mine she wants to use them but as i pointed out kids cant press hard or colour precisely so having a brush marker for example they can see the rich colour and cover more area with less lines. It stands out more then the cheap kids art supplies. Thats also why i think most kids prefer markers over pencils and crayons. Although kids love me for giving them real good markers their parents dont seem to appreciatebtrying to get it off said child and their clothes 😂 ohhhh maybe you can do a video trying to find alternatives for kids art supplies. Something they enjoy using that is good quality and can wash off skin and clothes?

[@games_bond7221]

I always loved drawing. But the art supplies were so terrible I just gave up. As soon as I got even just semi professional supplies, I began to learn more and more

[@LisabettaMedaglia]

I would absolutely LOVE to see some of the professional brands out there making kits for kids, so that they WOULD be inspired to do art more! Do you hear me Prismacolour?! Faber-Castell?! Those other kits that you had on your video a while back (that came in a wooden box and had everything from paints to pencil crayons) really need to go, cuz those things are atrocious. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the price you pay for it is going into the novelty of it being in a wooden box. Oh, about crayons...try doing melted wax art with them! I've toyed with it in the past, I got a miniature iron that's used by quilters, to iron out quilted pieces in right corners...you just heat it up, rub the crayon directly on the iron, and then use the iron as your drawing tool, or even just press the melted wax onto the paper for some interesting patterns. One reason the crayons don't work on paper, is that they need some kind tooth to the page, like the texture of some kids colouring books, that have a bit of a brown-grey colour to them. I also kind of wonder what something coloured with crayons would look like if you use the mini iron as a melting/blending tool? Hmmm.... In any case, don't give up on crayons! I've actually seen at least one artist who did realistic portraits using nothing but Crayola crayons ;)

[@juriaan13]

Cheap crayons plus babyboil or paint thinner can make killer art. Also buying kids colored pencils that are 2 dollars each is nuts ..they break them and loose them.

[@jaycamp6298]

Big pencils and crayons are a staple for primary school/elementary aged kids as the pencils are easier to hold and the crayons can be used for colouring large areas or for shading over writing (as their lack of opacity does not cover the writing)

[@sweetpea7715]

The thicker pencil you can get for colour pencils also, it helps train children to hold the pencil.

If you have a five below, you should do a video comparison with alcohol markers and Crayola markers. For the artists just starting off and budgeting

[@SilentTrip]

cheap art supplies always make the best results for me 😊

[@heitron81]

The bigger pencils/coloured pencils are standard for pre-school and elementary school kids… I think all the brands offer them

[@ADCArtAttack]

Make them standard for adults!!! I need them haha

[@NewAgePixie]

Great video mate! Love it when you just be yourself in videos!

[@simpaitsuki5161]

I used to create great art with crayons Crayons taught me how to love art and appreciate art supplies. Crayons taught me how to be resourceful and look at art from many angles. I think if I didn’t have crayons I’d never have put effort into making art therefore it would have just been another thing I picked up for a week and forgot about 😂 I mused to trace with colored pencils, fill in with crayons and blend with erasers Crayons made me crafty❤🎉

[@katytener1982]

I love your videos. It is so funny to me that every time you review kids art supplies you are so critical of them while acting like a kid yourself. Never change.😄

[@half-bakedpotato1078]

My nieces only like using crayons on the walls (it’s a pain to wash off). I usually have them use water color sets or washable markers.

[@graciethebluejay]

I think traditional art, as most know it, has seen it's best days, and CRAYONS are probably the first art medium that helped inspire many great artist today and earlier. Therefore, I believe crayons deserve our appreciation😂 Children being raised today will learn on digital art and by the time they are adults AI will have taken over, sad to say. Please appreciate crayons😂

3:56 NOT THE AD MUSIC😭😭

[@christopherseba5937]

Not sure how freely I can comment, regarding the chisel tip I used it for college on big pieces. Now a days, my thing is, hey here's an idea, awesome, shoot! I just wasted paper on failed idea😅?

[@samusai]

Possibly one of the most well known crayon artist is Don Marco-he's absolutely amazing-and yes he does use crayola crayons.

[@bingewatcher400]

Would love to see a video about Mont Marte pencils vs BIC pencils😂 keep up the great work. You are an inspiration

[@Footy_Editz4711]

ADC I am a ten year old who has professional art supplies and I do make art (you are my inspiration) and I bought alcohol markers because of you

[@gilbirdsareawesome]

I m a nanny and use children’s art supplies all the time . The little one doesn’t care how bad the supplies are she just loves to colour. With that said if I had no choice but to use kids markers for the rest of my life it’s going be crayola.

[@13ForLife34]

Hey ADC I got an idea but I think you should do a poll to see if others would also like this idea maybe you should do some more My Hero Academia art cause I saw the drawing that you did of Deku and that got me into watching mha so I think maybe you should do another video like that one but I would do a poll to see if other would like to see a video like that one ❤️

[@tanwencooper6928]

Looks like youre using the crayons on super smooth paper. Youll do much better on something with a bit of tooth to it - gives the wax something to grip to. As others have said, check out kasey golden's year of the crayon stuff.

[@Jay37370]

4:42 Get them Crayola colored pencils. Good quality for the price

[@milateryakova6268]

When i was child-used crayons to paint on window glass to decorate for Christmas and New Year

[@hunterarmontrout8038]

I'm 21 n love crayons 😭 the texture and visuals a crayon can offer is unlike anything else 😭😭😭😭 ask kayce golden 🤣

[@Rosh4D]

Honestly the beardless look, looks good

[@ADCArtAttack]

Thank youu :)

[@FiliaStellae]

omg where did you find the dinosaur pencil case. i need that thing in my life. because... you know... dinosaurs 😂

[@ADCArtAttack]

It was in a German store Rewe, I'm not sure where else they may be available :(

[@minouart]

LemiaCrescent did very cool art with crayons in her early years ;)

[@alexmcd378]

The supplies are floppy for the same reason crayons are non-toxic. :D

[@ChristopherGonzalez1280]

Crayola isn't that crappy - Daughter still have fun with markers but I got her her first Posca set and she never went back 😀

[@OZdoesArt]

I actually loved Crayola crayons as a kid, that was my favorite art supply other than their markers (which I used so often that I nearly always had marker stains on my hands!) I still like to bust them out now and then and just goof around with them though I agree that they are often too waxy with not enough pigment.

[@maboroshiiro]

Thinking kids don't notice the quality of their supplies is silly... when I was in elementary I was BLOWN when I tried actual decent colour pencils. Can't remember exactly when, might have been around 1st/2nd grade when I borrowed them from a classmate. Before I only used ones similar to the Fortnite set in the video lmao, so I asked dad for them later😆.

[@yonathancalderon5551]

Superraedizzle would have lost it if she heard all the things he said about crayola crayons especially the smell lol😂😂😂

[@sirmascopchanova4657]

@ADCAttack, speak for yourself! Crayons are amazing! Try the Caran d´ache neocolors. I love the few I bought and would love to collect them all. 😅

[@13ForLife34]

I have learned more from you than any other artist I have watched don't get my wrong I learned some from Jazza but I could not handle all the cuss word so keep up the amazing work ADC

[@asashygge]

I just have to shout out Casey Golden's year of the crayons here on KZbin. She did a series over an entire year exploring everything crayon.

[@craftymom7748]

Kasey Golden does some cool art with crayons. I would recommend watching a few of her videos.

[@vanilla_216]

i immediately thought of her, too! she always does some fun challenges. i love her content

[@fia-and-fokus]

Yea, I did also think of her 😊

[@Brooke-xh8bi]

came here to say that too! 😊

[@caseymoody2223]

yes there are definitely artists out there that can do wonderful art with crayons but i think his point was the difficulty of using them especially for kids. I honestly feel like i would have gone more down the art path if i had better supplies and things that were easier to use. made many drawings and then tried to color them with crayons and just got frustrated that i could never get it to turn out the way i wanted so i gave up

[@SorrensSorrow]

Wow I didn't have to scroll for this! Although was expecting Casey Golden enters the chat comment lol
