blackest black pastel

[@redgreenvulture]

Thank you so much for this video! I got the Cretacolor black chalk lead from your recommendation, and it's fantastic! So much better than other black pastel pencils.

[@fauxurfancy]

Have you tried the Creacolor Nero soft black? It’s a oil based black.

[@EKS49]

Has Jackson's stopped selling those? Cannot find them via your link only the pencils. Is there a better link please?

[@TheSwalk3r]

Tha is for this video, with normal pastel pencils I have been really struggling to get the deep blacks I need. I have ordered these, and look forward to the results, do they go over other colours well

[@PamelaSConleyArtist]

Ordered from Blick. Can’t wait to try them

[@gillinacook1477]

Oh , I have those. I’ve been looking for a really black pastel but these I was not sure about the lightfastness.

[@hedonismbot3274]

The black koh i noor where the blackest i had found for my work and i tried many

[@thenumerologylady]

Ok, I need those in my life. Thank you for sharing!

[@AafkeVultink]

Ok I want that holder. Why: bc I am a geek with getting that stuff all over my fingers. Brilliant. I did not thought of that.

[@paulavonbestenbostel7645]

I had found the Cretacolor pencil already, but like u said it is quite fragile and so therefore costly. I save it for the bits around the eyes. Then at the Art shop I saw the cretacolour chalk leads, tried them, they are indeed fantastic as u state, as u don't put them in a sharpener, u don't waste it either, so they actually cost lots less... I just wish they'd sell all pastel pencils like this, woodless!! Go on Jason u have the contacts, get Jacksons or some other Comany to do it... you can take the credit, I'll take the money! 😂😂😂

[@mariaw3673]

Are these Creat a Color chalks still considered pastel or are they a chalk? I am confused with the terminology that is used here. Thank you Jason ; )

[@TheIqCook]

I tried successfully grinded sauce or sticks, which are really cheap and easily available

[@pamsanby8506]

Try a DUX adjustable sharpener. It's super sharp, comes with three extra blades, has an adjustable screw on the end and comes in a little case. I got mine on Cult Pens. It really is excellent for sharpening pastel pencils.

[@JC-il4or]

Hi, do you recall the exact listing name for your sharpener? Have searched cult pen site and don't see "adjustable'. Is it the one with the removable barrier? I have the automatic long point but can always use a better one. Thanks 😊

[@pamsanby8506]

@@JC-il4or sorry I put KUM originally when I should have put DUX adjustable pencil sharpener (mind freeze) ... sorry about that. Cult Pens have the DUX in stock ... I just checked ❤️👍

[@JC-il4or]

@@pamsanby8506 thank you for clearing that up 😂 I was sure it was my inability to correctly input it and tried every English combination, association and description I could think of. 😆

[@pamsanby8506]

@@JC-il4or so sorry to have messed it up like that ... if only I had a memory .... 🤣

[@magabaga1]

I searched Amazon for the black chalk pastel but in the description it said Oil based drawing lead, Shiny smudge-proof strokes Water resistant, soft, Black - 6 pack, Is it the sane as what you use?

[@wendy99ish]

Cant get Jackson art in USA darn

[@pammied52]

I order from them all the time and I am in SC.

[@juul7737]

Just bought the gouache after a video with your tip 😏

[@darlenejakubowski3751]

Unable to find the sticks on Jackson. Just the pencil.

[@anna94k]

So in my country koh i noor pastel pencils cost really cheap, 3.5 times less then pitt pastel pencils, do you think I should get koh i noor or is pitt still a better choice? :/

[@pamsanby8506]

I have both and the Pitt’s are harder ... great for detail and the koh I noor are much softer ... great for blocking in.
