Crayola Twistables Crayon Review--And A REALLY Big Mistake!

[@foxykc]

This was really useful. It's amazing how you take a $5 product and make it look brilliant

[@DeaLenihan]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment and thank you for watching! I hope you have a wonderful day. And yes for under five dollars… Actually under four dollars now on Amazon they’re on sale… I had a lot of fun

[@crystalfranklin2583]

Don't you just love those happy little accidents?! When you went in with the paper towel, it really softened the colors and made it look so pretty! It almost looks like pastels. It came our lively, Dea!

[@DeaLenihan]

Thank you so much Crystal! I do love those happy little accidents… And thank goodness that I that I had paper towel right there!

[@lovelyjunk7048]

I really love the skies. I was doing cloud castle crayon piece with similar pallete, but I dropped it, because I doesn't have an extender for crayons and it's hard to use my old set at this point. Now I definitely want to finish it soon. Very inspiring!

[@DeaLenihan]

Nova Aspel Oh thank you for telling me! And thank you for watching… Have fun on your piece!

[@amandalarissavieira7428]

OMG, I can't believe you managed to make it look so good at the end. If it was me, I would just cry and maybe throw the coloring page away so I couldn't see my failure. Hahahah. I guess this video gave me a lesson.

[@DeaLenihan]

I was as shocked as you! 🤣 Right before I wiped it all off with the paper towel I figured it was history… And I grab the paper towel basically because I didn’t want to ruin my nice wooden table!

[@deedeebattle2522]

When we were kids, we color for the fun of it. I would not color in my Serene book , because I didn't want to screw up such beautiful artwork. Now, I just color for the joy of it, like the KID that I am.😊

[@jamiescoloringlove]

I love using these. Because I am heavy handed, I always snap the regular crayons. They do have a true yellow, I cant remember which set it was. They also make a set that has neons and different effects. They are alot of fun! Great job! Your picture looks incredible!

[@DeaLenihan]

Thank you so much for the info and the nice comment! I have to check out the other sets--I LOVE neon!

[@kendraiacouzze4930]

Walnut Brown😀😂 Love love how the background turned out!! 💖😍

[@DeaLenihan]

Crazy right!? I couldn’t believe my eyes as I swiped it away!

[@marikareimer4411]

I love how your picture turned out I think it's so beautiful. :)

[@DeaLenihan]

Thank you so much! It was definitely an interesting experiment… Thanks for watching! And have a good day

[@terrisimmers9784]

Dea you always amaze me. I have been thinking about buying the 50 pack of these. And the bigger package of the twistable crayola pencils as well. Love Terri Simmers.

[@DeaLenihan]

Well Terri I think they’re totally worth it I had so much fun using them! I liked them much better after I sharpened them

[@DeaLenihan]

And thank you so much!

[@janinelew2483]

I bought a pack today and I have a yellow. I got these for my home daycare kids because regular crayons break so easily. Thanks for the review!

[@soucky1]

This is a mystakes who payed of Dea, because your Background turned out so well, i really love it but i'm not a big fans of Crayola, don't like to worked with these theirs other brand who please myself much better but you amaze me by trying almost any Budget Brands and you achieved Amazing looking on your pictures, great review Dea, Thank You for sharing!

[@DeaLenihan]

Sylvie Dufour Thank you so much for your great comments Sylvie! Yes I like to do the budget brands also because not everybody has the fancy pencils… And a lot of the budget brands are awesome! Have a great day Sylvie

[@soucky1]

@@DeaLenihan Totally Agree with you and you are extremely talented to created Master piece with these, so you really are an Amazing Artist Dea, love watching your videos they make me smile and feel has if i'm welling to try and worked hard i may achieved a great look to my picture as well, so i send you big Hugs for the great thoutful messages you've send by doing these Amazing tutorials. Have a great day Dea xx

[@ruthzablow]

Again, that you very much. Another tool for the toolbox, and I can see these as a set a person could take with them in a travel bag. Also, I like that you stuck with fixing the mistake with us. For me it says don't give up on a picture, give the mistake a chance to become better.

[@DeaLenihan]

Ruth Zablow for sure! And that’s true… I fight for it till the bitter end 😃

[@mindylafler3456]

I actually tried a background just like that with regular Crayola colored pencils. It turned out quite nice and intense. I can't say as I like crayons in general...it's the smell, and fallout, lack of pigment to binders...yeah. Have you tried the Twistable colored pencils? I do like them. Only one thing I don't like about them, once it's burnished, that's it. I haven't tried any solvents to see if that would make any difference though. I do like the few colors I have, and their smoothness. It's great to see crayons giving a great result. Thank you for giving them a go. 😙 Mindy

[@DeaLenihan]

Yes I agree with you about the Twistables pencils… I think these are less glossy and more pigmented than the pencils.

[@mindylafler3456]

@@DeaLenihan yep I agree.

[@gailreineke7186]

Sometimes I go back and forth when coloring. It depends on what it is. If it’s lots of flowers, for example, mixed in with butterflies, then I stick to coloring one thing at a time in the scene.

[@DeaLenihan]

Oh OK! So you’ll finish one pattern or thing or series of things first… Super interesting! Thanks for sharing that with me

[@4alicekg]

I just bought these and will be using them tonight and I can't wait!!! I'm SO curious what will happen with them if I swipe/blend with a paper towel without any solvent, just the crayon. I'll also test out my colorless alcohol marker for blending and possibly nail polish remover. Though I think just the crayons on their own look so beautiful! Loved this video! 💕

[@deedeebattle2522]

This was a really good video..what not to do with Twistables. I have Crayons, now I'm purchasing Twistables. That picture turn out great. We are ALWAYS our worst critic. Thanks as always.

[@DeaLenihan]

Thank you so much and I agree with you about the critic! I hope you enjoy those crayons… I totally did!

[@elizabethsspookyshouseofbooks]

I love using the twistable color pencils . as for my coloring i seem to like going for colors i know well work really well together .

[@DeaLenihan]

I like those pencils too...very fun to use! Yes--it's fun to use color palette generators too. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@elizabethsspookyshouseofbooks]

@@DeaLenihan your welcome plus i just found out that on Amazon they sell the 5o set of crayola twistable color pencils .so they got added to my list of pencils

[@DeaLenihan]

@@elizabethsspookyshouseofbooks oh excellent! So by your name here, I gather you like scary? Me too!

[@elizabethsspookyshouseofbooks]

@@DeaLenihan yep , i have a blog clalled Spooky's House Of Books where i review books i read .

[@DeaLenihan]

Elizabeth's Spooky's House Of Books ooooo going to check it out now. I’m currently reading Practical Magic again

[@deirdrelewis1454]

Surprisingly I can get these in sets of 30 here. ( so why not the crayons??? ) Since you love to experiment, may I suggest you try a brand of hard pencils called Giotto. We can get their Stillnovo range. I bought the 36 colours and then found a set of 12 Skintones...fantastic selection of browns! They are hard enough to sharpen to a needle point but have an amazing amount of pigment in them. Great for small details.

[@DeaLenihan]

Oh thank you for the tip! I will definitely contact them.

[@12majixajinxixcolorchartdi25]

Heya there, I just wanted to remind ya that I had experienced the Gray Crayola Twistable Crayon and I disliked how the gray is too light, its almost like a light silver but mainly it has less pigment so I was a little disappointed that Gray Twistable Crayola Crayon didn't actually had enough pigment but it is alright because it remedy that with the black twistable crayola crayon though I decided to send this little gray twistable pigment complaint to Crayola and they responded that they'll fix up that issue.

[@deedeebattle2522]

I color a section at a time , MAKING sure to add the colors I'm using in other areas. Most of my coloring is done in very detailed books.

[@DeaLenihan]

Dee Dee Battle oh you’d love most of mine then ❤️

[@deedeebattle2522]

I'm on Amazon right now looking to get one of your books. P.S. I love your artist heart..always EXPERIMENTING even while coloring. A sub for 1 year. Thanks Dea, love your content and encouragement.

[@normawingo5116]

I think the huge mistake worked out awesome, like like an ink stained background from old time cards back in the day!

[@DeaLenihan]

Norma Wingo oh yes!! I know exactly what you’re talking about and I agree! Thanks for that comment Norma… So nice!

[@berenthebear1313]

Could you make a video using these along with regular colored pencils. I'm curious if you could blend these with colored pencils.

[@DeaLenihan]

Good idea--I'll give it a whirl.

[@karenfejta]

Sorry but I was laughing so hard at your continued attempts to fix your issues with the background. Too funny and we've all been there!

[@DeaLenihan]

Karen Fejta No need for sorry at all… I was cracking up too! This was really fun… Thank you so much for watching and your fun comment

[@spiritsjoy]

This video made me laugh, thank you. I am going to pick up Everday Magic with the remaining 16 dollars in my monthly art budget. Which book outside of this is your favorite? I might be able to afford one more with whats left over.

[@DeaLenihan]

spiritsjoy Thank you so much! Oh that’s a hard question… Let me ask you a question… Do you like cute or do you like pretty

[@spiritsjoy]

Pretty before cute, but its all good. I think all of your art is beautiful. Any book you like coloring on youtube would be great so i can watch and color along. However ive never been a fan of horror or halloween scary stuff (but love pumpkins and autumn) so theres that. Regardless im exited to pick up your book and i was looking at amazon but im going to treat myself and find your store for the artist editions.

[@daryllynn5406]

Dea: according to the little time stamp this is 2 yrs.old. guess I'm a little late. It's a good thing my shades are closed. I talk back to videos while I'm watching. You asked if there was a bigger set. I answered, there's a 50ct. Then you looked it up and yes there's a 50ct. Then you said they felt a lot better than the standard crayons. Which is when I said to you" thank you so much! I thought it was just me that liked them better. I do enjoy your videos . Have you ever considered designing a mandala adult coloring book? Ooo how about 1 of each; 1 adult and 1 child? And I also have days when it's just plain great to color with twist up crayons.

[@12majixajinxixcolorchartdi25]

Heya there, I just wanted to remind ya that I had experienced the Gray Crayola Twistable Crayon and I disliked how the gray is too light, its almost like a light silver but mainly it has less pigment so I was a little disappointed that Gray Twistable Crayola Crayon didn't actually had enough pigment but it is alright because it remedy that with the black twistable crayola crayon though I decided to send this little gray twistable pigment complaint to Crayola and they responded that they'll fix up that issue. So do I personally like the pack myself? Well it is good especially how silky smooth those colours that I used except for the gray twistable, to me the yellow is a lovely hue but the gray is the crayon that I have the biggest gripe and disappointment with due to how little the pigment actually is or maybe the more obvious black and white colour mixing ratio in the gray itself. So I honestly like them to an extent but when I tried some out of the box DIYing via hair dryer to heat up the paper and colour on it using the gray one, it immediately felt crumbly and there wasn't much difference in the pigment while the others that I tried out have the same thing though some felt and seem like they didn't melt well and not nicely while some felt a little weirdly gooey and since they are less abundant from where I live and are more pricey too compared to the regular, more abundant, and much cheaper ones as well as there better DIYing melting capabilities, I'll stick with the regular crayola 24 crayons. PS: my other comment malfunctioned

[@relaxium3618]

Did you get any idea how to use crayon shavings yet? I'm always reluctant to throw them away, so I save as much as I can, and gathered quite a beautiful pallet. Thanks to that video I remembered about this one little stash and now I'm musing over whether or not acrylic glue would work on them.

[@samnabbs]

hey how do you fix the crayon when the crayon part falls out of the plastic twisting case ? I have been having this issue

[@DeaLenihan]

Melt the side you insert into the pen--then hold it still a few seconds. Hope it works!

[@mrsblocko419]

Have you used the newer boxes of the twistible crayons? I feel like they changed the formula 😢

[@Lois711]

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