CRAYOLA Colors of the World - Can you REALLY Color Skin Tones with These Budget Tools?

[@sunnyquinn3888]

I love how you have your little furbaby there with you! When I had a puppy, she always sat in my lap or under my desk while I worked. I hope to have a little canine coloring companion once again someday.

To help prevent streaking on mixed media paper or coloring book paper, you color off onto a piece of plastic or a ceramic dish. Then pick up with a slightly damp brush or water brush and color gently with it instead of directly with the markers to your image. Being very careful not to overwet the paper. Go over paper once with color with brush Do not. Go back and forth or paper may pill. Be sure to dry marker color with a dryer or heat gun thoroughly between layers. Hope this technique helps someone. Although water based markers work best on water color paper.

Thankyou, this is very helpful 😊

@@SpookyRooster135 you are very welcome.

To be honest, the set says it’s for skin tones. It does not say it’s for hair or eyes or any part of the rest of the face. It would be nice if Crayola came out with pencils and markers that were for make up. I think that would be fun!

[@KW-wy6xg]

That is an awesome idea. That would be great

[@crystal-jeanroat2885]

I’ve gotten amazing results with Crayola colored pencils on Canson XL Drawing (the green book). I got many layers to lay down with no problem. It was a portrait and I had many people offer to buy it- but you know- not professional quality. I do love my Crayola pencils for nostalgia and I like to support them in their work as we really need good quality beginner art supplies. And honestly, as far as wax crayons go- I wouldn’t waste my money on any other brand- Crayola is the only ones I’ll use or buy for my kids.

[@alicialaub7310]

I love your enthusiasm and professional approach to testing. It is so satisfying to watch! I'm new to colouring as an adult and have just found your channel, love your work!

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

Really enjoy your show. After a hard days work i relax with my dog and learn from the best.

[@Verrucca00]

I love these! I almost never color people, but I use all of the browns and pinks.

[@colourfulcrafts5492]

I'm pretty impressed with the Crayola skin tone ones! Nice to know there are good enough budget skin tone pencils out there :)

[@maryyoungblood8550]

The 24 ct Colors of the World Crayons are available in the 168 ct Crayon tub which comes with their regular crayons plus the matallics, the glitters and the confettis.

[@ChelleBeeby]

💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 just ordered from Amazon, bit of time to get to Australia, but as I know I love my Crayola coloured pencils anyway, I'm good! Thanks heaps...

[@leeeckhoff8101]

I love them... they're cheap good for beginning children to learn with....great vjdeo

[@PaulaakaPaben]

I liked them as my Great Grandchildren wanted adult coloring books for their Birthdays!

[@angelashortall9778]

i literally just bought these. thank you for this vid!

[@lyllydd]

Hmm... I wonder, would the darker base layer look better if you used the marker as a watercolor paint (IE the old scribble it on a piece of plastic and pick up the color with a wet brush trick)?

[@kimbennett2415]

I would love to see your girls finished with other colors on the rest of the page. Also, I’m curious as to how the crayons would do if you used them with gamsol and or the heat gun technique? Just a thought. Thanks for bringing these products to our attention. I have the crayons, but will not be looking for the pencils and markers.

[@tabbylynn4130]

The pencils are actually really awesome.

[@msrockinrobin08]

I saw at Walmart today where they have a 100 count set of colored pencils that includes the colors of the world with them.

[@JennysCrayonCollection]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that had a hard time blending with the colored pencils. It’s a shame. I really wish they would blend more.

[@katyratyra]

I missed watching the live video last night...looking forward to watching this. :)

[@geraldinekreppel2076]

I always enjoy your honest and informative videos

[@deannareti9893]

Hi jen and Steve God Bless you and your family from Dee in New Zealand 😊❤️♥️🙏😊

[@tabbylynn4130]

I love them and Pamelas passion for pencils has a video about the pencils and she loves them as well. They are Skin tones I wouldn’t expect other colors in there.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

When I colored skin, I used the skin tones, but added in some colors from the 120 set to add make up, eyes, etc.

[@katherinebordier6195]

Thank you for this video. I was looking forward to getting this set since I read about it coming out.. I have just been waiting for the prices to drop down, and they did for the markers! I have. a hard time doing skin tones ( I really want to learn how to use all the colors of the rainbow, like professional artists use) but for now I just want to start with lighter and darker shades. So I am going to fix my membership and take advantage of the “Skin & Hair Fast Track” classes! I thought Steve might want to know, there is a formatting issue on the website (when signing up to pay when you are already a member). It says pay by card just fine but the pay by PayPal option is pushed over so that the word paypal is directly under the word credit card. I have a mac and run chrome, if that makes a difference.

[@MartìnGamiño-Choki]

Im glad to know that I can swatches in 3 groups Im planning to get the colors of the world colored pencils Ive heard good things about them crayons not my thing.

[@yazosoyo]

If these are skin tones, it’s a bit odd that you wanted to color the other elements of the face with the same colors. It’s quite cool that they matched the colors between the different mediums. Nice video, very detailed. Maybe with the dark skin tone you went way too dark with the base layer?

[@xEnchantedxHeartx]

I love the music! 😊

[@pattytolliver2651]

I liked this video. it brought up issues we need to think about when we are coloring skin tones. I feel you were fair in your assessment of the product. Thank you for your sharing.

[@RachelRamey]

Our Colors of the World crayons came in a box of 36, so they had all the skin tone ones, and also a handful for eyes and hair.

[@katyratyra]

Interesting. Mine just had the 24 pencils.

[@RachelRamey]

This is what I have: www.amazon.com/Crayola-Multicultural-Crayons-Count-pack/dp/B08D69GS6D/ As far as I can tell, the pencils & markers don't come that way; I'm not sure why.

[@charvigil]

I was just going to make that comment about the 32 count pack. It has the blue and black and other colors for the eyes and hair.

[@grannysharp772]

Cool. I just got the 100 Crayola set. Hmmmm....these pencils “colors of the world” are specially formulated. Interesting. Not in the set of 100. Have you seen the Signature Series? Dreamy. Ima going to have to get the world colors though. Thanks.

[@anna121ist]

Is the layering issue because you put down marker first?

[@marydimuro2953]

I wonder if you just used colored pencils, whether your results would be better.

[@tabbylynn4130]

They have a certain box of colors of the world that has eye and hair colors in them and it includes a black as well.

[@karizmajade4197]

Thank you for sharing 🦋

[@arshiya885]

I found this KZbin channel recently and I am obsessed with watching all the videos!! I love coloring bliss 💖 I like the way that every video has a honest review and it's fun watching all of them!! 💝

[@kiwess1]

Jennifer, this was an awesome video, as usual. I purchased the markers and the pencils and you're right, the type of paper you use will depend greatly on the result you get. I did a really nice coloring page using Crayola Markers/Pencils and what I did to help my character look more real, I threw in my Black Widow dark tones and boy did my pic turn out nice. I have to say, I'm very impressed with these Crayola sets. Not too bad. You just have to pick the right paper and use the tools you got and make it work, just as you demonstrated. I highly recommend them for any colorist.

[@cjenkins8785]

Today is August 17, 2021. Crayola has a box of 32 Colors of the World crayons. Additional colors are red hair, blonde hair, brown hair, black hair, blue eyes, brown eyes, green eyes, and hazel eyes. Thought you might want to know.

[@SabrinaLink8888]

I'm an advanced Artist but I want to expand my skills in coloring people. Would you recommend using the crayola skin toned colors or the Prisma skin toned colors for best results?

[@76elyard]

Hi Jennifer, I really enjoy your work and value your insights. I'm also happy with the Crayola Colors of the World pencils and crayons. I was excited to see you review this system though I would have liked to have seen you use the products separately rather than as mixed media. I have the Black Widow light and dark skin tones and they are a quite different color selection which I attribute to it being for more advanced users. That said, skin tone sets are quite different from each other and skin tone sets are quite different from choosing colors (brown, tan, beige, etc) from one's regular set. Using Colors of the World I'm having to work with balancing the three base tones to build up a natural looking color. I have had some success but I haven't had success with ending with the tone I envisioned partly due to skill level but also because of balancing color. Perhaps if you would, could you do a video on creating skin using a skin tone set alone (particularly with pencils) and discussing some of the theory of skin tone color palettes.

[@deannareti7205]

Very nice jen hwz Stevie dng gud? I'm From NZ God bless you all 😇😇❤️❤️

[@sahdogwrangler5594]

Thanks for this video! After watching it, I realize I'm not missing out by buying these sets as I already have other pencil sets. I think these are great for kids, giving them lots of choices for coloring people, which, like you said, we didn't have before as children. I see if you like to blend at all, these would not work for you. Thanks! Every time you said rose, I expected Rose to lift her head!

[@liletteautrey8481]

I love the day you did the eyes

[@valerieb8006]

Great video review! I think your coloring turned out very nice. I would probably get the markers and pencils if they went on sale. other wise i'll use the supertip and pencil set i have already. I Like crayola. I just accept them for what they are, fun.

[@Lucailey]

i think if you had gone with a lighter rose color for the light skin girl and did more of the "pinky" tones on her, she would have come out in a lighter skin tone.

[@jlm517rocks]

Did the hands make it in color?

[@maryyoungblood8550]

I have all of these sets.

[@junem4102]

Is the Crayola products supposed to blend? I was never able to blend with Crayola colored pencils. But I cant blend with Copics either; it won't blend well. So i could be having the same problem with Crayola as Copics. I like how you did different skin tones.

[@birdgirl2623]

Depends on the kind of paper you are coloring on, but yes, Crayola colored pencils do blend and layer--just not like something fancier like Prismacolor, or even mid-priced pencils created with colorists in mind. Jennifer has a video on KZbin discussing what types of paper works best for different media. If you are coloring with coloring books, paper type and quality also makes a big difference in how your coloring tools behave--whether it's a cheap kids' brand like Crayola, or fancier brands like Prismacolor. I don't have Copics yet because they are very expensive, and the FSS in Strong in This One. :) There are probably tutorials online about how to blend with Copics. But Crayolas are basic water-based markers for children, and Copics are alcohol-based markers aimed at more serious artists. They don't work the same way at all.

[@butterflies015]

There wouldn't be blues in this set because it is for skin tones. There are browns for hair.The new 120 set has the colors with the skin tone set and some colors for eyes.

[@24get24give]

so, with all that said, is there a set of skin tone markers or crayons that you do recommend?

[@veystone2580]

It would be amazing that a high end brand come up with these exact colors, adding split primaries, and at least mid-range secondary colors, an indigo, and a grayscale, and call it a Portrait Set. Ohhh if I had the money to create that!

[@marleycritcher8068]

They might be good for colouring trees.

[@AngelReyes-qc2jy]

I loved the video but in my opinion the medium skin tone was veeeery light, I'm myself a light skinned latino man and that's even lighter than me

[@katherinebordier6195]

same, except I am female. but the dark ones I feel are a bit too dark.

[@CataLyst7Continued]

Yes she said the medium toned girl turned out lighter than she had hoped in the video. 😊

[@jdbuder]

Nice scarf

[@sharonbarner660]

Does the work shop series cost? I am the $5 a month member.

[@judihopewell2499]

To me for skin it seems like crayon first would be preferable blending with colourless marker or blender for smoothing…

[@lyllydd]

Now you're making me remember the only Crayola 'skin tone' product that was around during my childhood. It was crayons only, and they had "flesh' (vaguely pink) and *Indian red* Eeech.

[@pstanton2445]

Indian Red wasn't a skin tone.

[@rahsadeen4571]

(5-7-22) Why are you trying to put blushy cheeks on a dark skinned person in the first place? That’s not realistic. I do appreciate the tutorial, thank you kindly.

[@minervamosaics1604]

I just don’t understand why you keep pointing out that these are not stand alone . . . They are only marketed as SKIN tones. Not hair and eyes and makeup.

[@joellzey]

Can we get you to draw more chibi to color..

[@anna121ist]

Properties of 😍

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Those sets of colors of the world aren't meant to color a whole coloring page!; Duh, your buying these sets for skin tones only, SMH O, that make marker paper, and the pencils and crayons will work on it also. And that dark toned girl, her nose looks totally broken, her whole face looks broken. And I know intermediate and advanced colorists who are using these same products, and the makers of these products never intended for you to just use those colors only, they assume you already have the classic colors.
