Crayola Twistables - Colored Pencils vs Crayons

[@christopherramirez3896]

This video answered all of my questions. Thank you so much for making it . I’ve been doing school supply shopping for my kids and I had no idea what is going on with these products they needed on their school list. now I feel very well-informed

[@rctibbs4866]

bro I literally died when the dog got into the desk bed omg so cute

[@grannyjan9465]

I have an old set of crayons from many years ago. Vibrant color. Today’s regular crayons were just wax and hardly any color. I threw them away and understood why kids liked markers instead. I’m gonna get the twistable crayons and give them a try. I have the pencils which are great for taking places for journaling and no mess But would be difficult to color a picture with them. Thanks for the video.

[@martin7878]

Thank you!! I was thinking of purchasing the Crayola Twistables for my bible study but wasn’t sure about the difference between the pencils vs crayons. I’ve watched other videos but yours explains the difference very well. ❤

[@DesertNails]

I love crayola twistables! I have both kinds.

[@goldandrain]

I think I will have to get some , you make quite a sales lady Jennifer, I love it that you take the guessing out of it. Thanks

[@JH-pe3ro]

I got a pack of Crayola Twistable Colored Pencils recently and have been enjoying them. I'm curious if the formula has changed any since this review, though I can definitely tell that they're harder than other colored pencil examples I have. They are pretty clearly made to give a light layer and not break easily, and that makes them a decent option for a first lay-in before adding deeper values.

[@Friendly946]

Thanks for the video. I have both the pencils and the twistable crayons. I actually love the pencils and my 81 year old momma loved hers. She often would color with me. She passed away this past November. I have saved all her pencils for her namesake Emma. Oh and to be able to use the crayons in smaller areas , I twist mine out a bit further than necessary but far enough to sharpen the ends in a basic sharpener. This works well

[@cxffaye]

I’m so sorry for your loss 😢 at least you still have memories of colouring with her that you will never forget 💖

[@Friendly946]

@@cxffaye thank you. Yes I have wonderful memories

[@mindylafler3456]

Hi there. I've actually colored a complete page with the Twistables colored pencils. They definitely don't like to be blended he way that I was blending for that page, but I LOVE their colors on the page. Just beautiful. I can't add the page here for your reference, but I would be happy to share it with you or whomever would like to see it. I colored the page with full intensity in mind. So, I was burnishing straight out of the box. (So to speak) I love the colors, the ease with which I got the color on the page, and my only complaint is that with my awesome burnishing skills, I could not "stack" a color on top to get a different shade. If I went over the line anywhere even a little, that's the way it stayed. The page is really VERY vibrant, and I loved the colors that were in my set. I have colored recently using traditional crayons, and my biggest complaint, besides having to sharpen them to get into the smaller spaces, was their size. They are just too short for me. I have NOT tried the Twistabe crayons as yet, though. Shall have to add that to my list of sets to color a page with. Gotta buy a set first! (Hee, hee.) I have found, for me only, that coloring a full page with a set is what lets me know whether I enjoy the sets I try. Even if I am just burnishing, I get a feel for that core. I am a heavier handed colorist, and I work at coloring softly to get my layering in. I'm currently coloring a page where I'm using 6 colors for ivy leaves. Just what I chose to do. I like the result. Still have to remind myself that light is OKAY. I really do like full intensity. (Probably why Prismacolor Premiere colored pencils and I don't get along well. I'm TOO heavy handed for them. AND, everything ends up smeary, even with a light touch. I'm a debris wiper. So I smear any pencil, but Prismacolors are HORRIBLE for smearing, for ME.) Thanx, Mindy

[@bluefinger02]

I just bought twistable crayons few days ago 🤓🤓🤓what a perfect timing your video came in! I love them! Thanks J 😍

[@ColoringBliss]

Awesome! Have fun coloring

[@ellendodge5156]

I recently discovered that the light colors of twistable crayons make great highlighters for my Bible - no bleed through or shadow! Give them a try.

[@ShatteredRippleBooks]

@Ellen Dodge really helpful tip

[@jaynitaanncarney]

I bought a set of the twistable pencils a few years back when they first hit the market. I absolutely hated them with a passion. Seen the crayon ones and thought no thank you, but after seeing this video I will give them a try.

[@jzsketch9996]

I actually bought a pack of the crayons when I was in college 8 years ago, my pack had more crayons including neon ones and some with multiple colours twisted into them, I still have them at my carers' house, I loved them.

[@paulalovesart4545]

Thank you so much for this information, and it is so well presented. I picked up some of these pencils at a thrift store, and wondered about them. A coworker thought they were crayons, but they are pencils after all. I was surprised and excited about your findings, however, and now want to try the crayons. Thank you so much for sharing. Oh, also, I wonder how these crayons compare to Tim Holtz crayons, which I am sure are better, but I wonder how much better, for the cost. Thanks, Paula.

[@55alive8]

I like the color pencil for traveling and I can put my sharpener in my bag when I travel. I found that the color pencil is not for heavy coloring but light and easy coloring or delectable coloring if you may say. Well thanks for the review. I now can buy the crayons twist.

[@randykoger4646]

What is up with your weird obsession of thinking crayons are “messy”? How are you using them?

[@KeisuArt]

You are very pretty, first time on this channel. I loved your review and really enjoyed the video, thanks for making this comparison.

[@obsoletepoc7050]

I know I'm 5 years late, but there are also full sized twistable crayons (the ones you had were the mini ones) and they come in either a 12 pack or a 24 pack.

[@claudianay]

Thank you, Jennifer, for this comparison. I do disagree with you, though, because I really like the Twistable pencils. I use them for large areas and backgrounds, usually with highlighting done with regular colored penacils. They blend right in! I have used them for quite awhile and they haven't been used up. And I never !ave to sharpen them! They do not have a lot of pigment, but sometimes they are just what I need! I haven't been using the crayons because I don't want to bother sharpening them. Just my opinion.

[@ColoringBliss]

I do love that you don’t have to sharpen them. I wish mine weren’t so scratchy. Maybe I got a bad batch?

[@claudianay]

Maybe they work better on some paper and some paper not? I like to use them in the Romantic Country books for backgrounds, walls, floors, etc.

[@banjyustucson7633]

I don't like the twistable pencils either. They wouldn't stay up when I was coloring and the tip isn't fine enough for detail. To me, they are just a step up from CrazyArt and that isn't saying much. What is the most pigmented crayon you've ever used?

[@marybowling27126]

Banjyus Robbins may I suggest leaning your pencil to the side, don't hold it straight up and down. Also, you can get a very fine point by using a 2mm pencil sharpener.

[@jessicanking21]

I love these products, never knew there was more in the crayon then the pencil.

[@No_Named_Nobody]

I want the crayons just for nostalgia. Sanrio had a version of twistable crayons when I was little and I loved them. Now I have the pencils and love those too Are the actual pencils better? Probably. Do I want to fight the Pencil sharpener? No, because I always loose

[@caelidhg6261]

I had a set of 24 twistable crayons and was doing some art journaling with them and my gelatos but the thing I stumbled upon with the twistables is that you can really press down on them... (at least the bunch i have) It is a therapeutic easy thing for me so I splurged on a 50 set.. I am jonesing for some alcohol markers too

[@maryellenthompson8261]

My daughter gave me some of those twistable colored pencils and the cores fell out of some of them. My recommendation? If you want Crayola colored pencils, get the traditional ones. I think they are still the best bargain in budget friendly pencils.

[@slyseyes]

Thanks for the comparison. I would have tended to get the pencils over the crayons before this video. I plan on trying the crayons.

[@debbien.3315]

My kids have had both , I always liked the crayons. They used them for a long time, even when they outgrew regular crayons. I got rid of them before I started adult coloring so I haven't tried them in a coloring book. I do remember using them for lots of fun art projects for the kids. The twistable colored pencils were fun too but sometimes the lead broke.

[@tiffanysmith5234]

I usef pencils more for details like used mechanical pencils vs regular graohite drawing pencils

[@judithsantana3064]

Thank for your video o Just buy both of them but I prefer the twist crayon the pencil don’t work for me the needle point broken every minute even if I work soft ... thanks for your help God bless you

[@sharontuckerlewis7325]

It would be difficult to color small areas with the crayons.

[@Lois711]

I just learned about Twistables. Is there no wax at all in them?

[@samnabbs]

How do you fix the crayon when it falls out of the plastic case ?

[@cxffaye]

That happened to me as well and idk what to do about it either. Btw did you manage to fix it

[@erinelizabethcrumley8221]

I’m looking for a product to color code in a textbook with extremely thin pages. So I will be doing less shading and more underlining, etc. I was leaning toward the pencils for a thinner core but now I’m unsure- any suggestions?

[@cxffaye]

I definitely recommend the pencils! They are amazing for using in textbooks and on thin paper but make sure not to press to hard as they will leave indentation on the paper

[@juanez8]

I have a pack of the Twistable crayons, I’m finding that some colors are very light on the page. They are so light they are almost useless. Am I doing something wrong?

[@12majixajinxixcolorchartdi25]

Question though, aren't you a little bothered that the Gray Crayola Twistable Crayon has too light pigment meaning it looks like a light silver than a gray tha should have looked much darker like its regular gray crayon cousin? Because I personally don't like how light the gray twistable crayon is.

[@crystalfranklin2583]

I agree with your assessment of the twistable pencils. I have only used the twistable crayons briefly. My little cousin had a set and I colored with her just a bit with them, but I do own the twistable pencils and am not that impressed with them. They don't blend well for me and I feel like they're hard but almost too waxy, if that makes sense.

[@ColoringBliss]

Yes, makes lots of sense. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@hagaki1665]

Hi jennifer! I just wanted to ask if you tried master markers? They are cheap brush markers and I really hope you can try them out!

[@tammymayfield849]

Will you do a video on color my world crayons and. The color my world pencils just now coming out.

[@CarolReidCA]

The crayons are great for kids! They don't leave waxy residue on kids' hands. My granddaughter loves them! Crayola also has some Twistables gels that are kinda like gellatos, and are great for kids too! These are really nice for kids, as many kids' art products are not highly pigmented, yet these are better than many of the kids' products on the market. The pencils could be quite a bit softer. I agree, the Twistable crayons are very nice... The pencils could use a little work. π x r2 x length = amount of product per pencil! 😁

[@ColoringBliss]

Ooooo twistable gels 😳🤪😂❤️😊

[@caelidhg6261]

I love my gelatos. I have a pretty full set.

[@BlazinRedxDragon]

If you don't like that dull tips and wished they had a sharp point ... They work in a regular pencil sharpener to sharpen them to a real sharp point. Of course this tip is only for adults and the points get very sharp. But it's better to cover tight areas.

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

I like Colored Pencils and Crayons but I just love to use Sharpie Markers they just make my coloring pages and drawings look so much more vibrate and colorful but still you did an awesome job testing them both out love your channel giving it lots of big thumbs up 💚💚💚💚💚👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@lacardoshian]

[@juanguentenguea.gonzalez737]

That's a good question I don't know I think yes thanks for showing us this video I appreciate it and I love your color chart

[@amyx231]

The CP versions are harder, but I’m pretty sure these are both mostly plastic. Even some “regular” crayons are a plastic these days.

[@grannyjan9465]

I have wondered. Glad I saw this video!

[@alithomson2923]

The twistable crayons and twistable colored pencils are awesome and better than the normal crayons and colored pencils. I love the twistable crayons because they glide on the paper Nicely and doesn't make your colored page look waxy. It's also is a pain to peel regular crayons and they break easily for me. I got the scented ones I got two packs because they where on clearance for $3 and change. For the twistable colored pencils I love them because I don't have to sharpen a colored pencil when it get's low on lead . I am going to purchase the regular twistable crayons soon and get another package of colored twistable colored pencils because I love them so much.

[@redrum7665]

I’m tryna figure out which ones are which like, which one is blue green, or red orange, or y’all know wat I mean ?

[@pstanton2445]

Both products have a color chart on the back with the names, and in the box order. Don't just dump them out, or it'll take forever.

[@melissaverrill]

I have both of the twisterbles and found that you can use the pencils to blend the crayons and get a very good result.

[@ColoringBliss]

Ooooo good suggestion. Thanks. 😊

[@Mrrblx0105]

rlly? in my country sells twistables colored pencils $4.00 30 pack

[@rbdreamsart]

Good review! I have the 64 ct of the regular crayons I've had since I was a teenager. I sometimes use them in my coloring books but I was wondering---how do the crayons blend with odorless mineral spirits? I may invest in some if it works on crayon. Needless to say, crayons don't blend very well nor do they cover the tooth of the paper like pencils.

[@ColoringBliss]

We are going to try it tonight during our live event. It’s going to be fun!

[@rbdreamsart]

Great! I'll set the reminder.

[@SabrinaLink8888]

I've been looking for crayon reviews but end up watching the Prisma coloring pencil reviews They're so high for 1 pack even on Amazon they're just really high. Then you have to get a blender and a sharpener sold separately. The sharpener can run you 8+ dollars and the benders are around the same price. I feel like a fool if I order it.

[@ShatteredRippleBooks]

Very helpful video

[@Samira_simke_shorts]

[@amysuewest3826]

Hi. Love the review. Love my Crayola's. I have tried the twistables and love them, I just love my giant, turntable filled with a huge amount of the Crayola's better. Greasy, ya...but I deal with it for the amount and the deal I got. :)

[@ColoringBliss]

Yes. Crayola makes awesome sets. I was looking at some of them when I was at Walmart yesterday. They are good at making things that inspire creativity

[@raptor9577]

I have the twistsble pencil cyayons

[@jzsketch9996]

I think the reason people were getting confused is that for some reason a lot of Americans call coloured pencils 'pencil crayons' so crayons and coloured pencils in a similar style would cause confusion since if they're not paying close attention they could think it's the other product.

[@marybowling27126]

JZsketch Canadians call them pencil crayons. Americans call them 'crayons, and colored pencils.'

Hi can you please give me your twistablescrayola

[@carolineullrich7323]

You have brighten the colors by the setting on your camera. I bought a pack of these. For my niece. They are colorless, dull, hard waxy. Kinda reminds me of those tv dinners you buy. The tb dinner with the nice picture of whst they want you to think is inside. But when you open the tv dinner you get 3 small quarter sized pieces of turkey, wateted down mash potatoes, if you get the kind with Dessert, like apple, wiyh sweat sause. I think some other piece of cranberry. But in reality, you get slivers of apple ( im being generous). Well there's only one fitting place for these. You guessed it.. the garbage. As for this lady, she needs to not mislead the public like Crayola does. She's probably getting free crappy products. Fitting..........

[@ColoringBliss]

😂 thanks for an entertaining comment. You should write more, you have a gift. As far as being paid or affiliated with Crayola, I can assure you we are not. Maybe the quality has changed (they were not that stellar to begin with, but what can we expect from Crayola) since the filming of this video...now I want turkey dinner 😋
