I’m usually a CRAYOLA HATER but this was FUN?! (Pop and Paint)

[@jwul4616]

If I had to wager a guess, the reason the colors are a lot less vibrant in their advertising picture is because they're using their "official" crayola watercolor pads ( which is literally just printer paper >:P ) and you guys are using good watercolor paper , which actually absorbs the pigment nicely! It's really nice to still see you guys posting after all these years. Monster High dolls are super cool, I never knew they had a character with autism, and Steph's art of Twyla is so cute. I also really love the water reflection affect Adam got with the hair, it looks really nice! :)

[@DoodleDate]

Thank you so much Jwul! We'd be more than happy continuing making videos forever, it honestly feels like our calling in life we have so much fun making them for you guys LOL

[@crushcircuit]

oh for sure, ive often heard that the paper used makes much more of a difference than the watercolors themselves. the way itd just be sitting on top of it using the printer paper... shutters

[@aicirtkciub9167]

I just said that too. Watercolor paper makes a big difference. I just got water colour felt tip markers. And they tear up regular paper I can hardly wait to get watercolour paper to try them properly.

[@terahmichelle416]

Yeah I just bought the Crayola water color and marker pad bc it was on sale and I wanted to try it out. I can't even use markers lightly on it bc it wrinkles, bunches up and bleeds so bad. I ended up giving it to my daughter who does pencil & ink only. As the other person stated, it is really cheap printer paper. I wanna try the pop & paint now. It looks fun. Love the art you all made and thanks for the review.😊❤

[@titansaint]

twyla's VA is autistic too! I remember tiktoks of her signing lil post it notes with positive messages and her autograph and putting them on the back of twyla dolls at her local target. she's a beautiful soul.

[@craftyhobbit7623]

I find that of the 'cheap' non-artist quality art supplies you can get, Crayola is the best quality. I love using their colouring pencils and before I started using them, I was frustrated with the colouring pencils from places like the Works, so I will always have a soft spot for Crayola products.

[@louisacoote2337]

I like the Crayola felt tips that come in a set of 25,50 or 100 colours. Lots of pretty and useful colours, and not too expensive. The Colours of the World felt tips are pretty cool too. I do have some brush point felt tips (Tombow brand?) that I absolute adore, but they are so expensive!

[@DoveJS]

I have a soft spot for them as well but it does make me sad the Crayola standard colored pencils don't really blend (I've managed to get roughly three light layers but that's it and they don't truly blend.) Still pretty good for kid grade stuff! They absolutely defeated Rose Arts back in the day. If you're in the US I've seen Tombow's 36 set of kid colored pencils at Target site for so low, it's the big yellow tin, as well as a smaller Faber Castell set of Goldfaber watercolor pencils in a carrying case for crazy below market (which have semi-bad reviews from people who don't understand how to use the spray bottle it comes with.) I'm dearly tempted to get both but I can't justify it rn since I'm broke and I'm not even using the ancient stuff I still have lol. There's also a bunch of really nice kid/student sets I've seen over Blick; I really wish I knew about or had those options as a kid. They've got Crayola too ofc!

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

Yassss! Finally a reason to not hate Mondays! Doodle Date posts make every day better. 😊😊

Aww! Thank you so much Tara! We hope your Monday is going well~

[@r0b1n_b01]

i love your guys’ intrests apart from art like fugglers, monster high, lego , trains , guinea pigs (nd animals in general i feel), plushies, it just makes me happy to see someone with such similar interests to mine cus i always feel so eclectic with everything

[@r0b1n_b01]

this is the same with steph’s mixed media thing, i make my own sketchbooks cus i am so mixed media

[@FFMA28060]

ohh my god i just got this video recommended to me! i used to be obsessed with your videos 8-9 years ago when i was a kid!! im an adult now and its so endearing seeing how youre still going to this day

[@Roga6112]

I’m in the same boat! I was so pleasantly surprised once the video started

[@eliteunicorns]

If Steph's art is good enough for a coloring book, it's GREAT enough for a story book. :3

[@deadmanag283]

16:11 I WOULD BUY!! steph just can't see the awesomeness of her art because shes the one that makes it, and artists always see that as a flaw "oh i made this so i hold it to a different standard", just like what she said at 17:07 ! Its something artists automatically do, but maybe if steph knows how much we all love her art, then maybe she can look at it with a little more love!! You guys do amazing!! Such different styles but i love them both very much!!

[@stroodledoodles]

They have so much pigment wow! I'm so used to kids watercolours being super washed out and chalky, like those Major Brushes watercolour sets you'd get in school lol

[@DoodleDate]

I totally agree! We both were expecting them to be the same as those sets so seeing so much colour was honestly such a fun surprise haha

[@ghoulchan7525]

i think it's because it's a dye given it comes on paper. and Dyes are very vibrant usually.

[@batty-bites3185]

i am genuinely so shocked at the pigmentation of this set. they almost look like fr watercolors. what a good beginner set for kids and starting artists. ; w ; i love how much u both love each other's art/process it's the cutest thing ever. this is peak 'how to enjoy art' vibes

[@RatClowns]

This is how I found out that monster high added an autistic character?! Yalls sketches are always amazing regardless of the quality of the tools you're using 💕

[@louiskantrowitz2765]

yes!! Twyla! Although Frankie has those vibes too in my opinion...

[@nickorange4881]

yeah same.

[@elliot_rat]

ghoulia lol

[@dylanwalentiny6263]

Adam's girl really reminds me of a puddle slime from slime rancher. Then steph comes in with MONSTER HIGH?!?! I cannot believe I have been watching Doodle Date for 7/8 years. Love watching you guys in the morning, such a relaxing and lovely way to start the day.

[@potatopatch4563]

OH MY GOD I FOUND A SLIME RANCHER FAN IN THE WILD HIIIII

[@iisjah]

omg art be POPPING (pun intended) today! Twyla looking adorable and gosh! and Aqua Maid (tm, best for your toilet) looks so good - great idea with the reflections!

[@LizGridleyArtist]

This review is so cuuuute, huge advocate for trying the cheapest supply on the nicest surface😂😂

[@SabrinaHawk]

Adamo has really grown with his use of blue watercolor, before he would’ve picked up all that blue just for the eyes 😂😂😂❤

[@rachael275]

I love monster high dolls so much!! seeing Twyla in stephs style is so cool. Great video as always, take care :3

[@louisacoote2337]

I have watched the Netflix cartoon and like how diverse the cast is: Frankie is non binary ( they/them pronouns) and has a prosthetic limb, Ghoulia is introverted/possibly autistic and there is a lot of diversity when it comes to race and body type ( Draculaura is short and curvy, Cleo is tall and willowy, Clawdeen is African-American…).

[@Ur_goblin_dad]

Oh wow, I watched you guys all the time as a kid and you really inspired me and my art! I’m 20 now and I’m happy to say that I am still having just as much fun watching you guys as I was then. I’m glad I finally found my way back to your channel :)

[@DoodleDate]

Welcome back!! We really appreciate you coming to see us again after all this time as well ❤️

[@kayleighshaw21]

Crayola pop & paint & Arches paper is a crazy combination 😅 I'm super impressed by the pigment & price, they both turned out lovely.

[@Creature_Creative]

Wow, Adamo's character came out gorgeous, and the colour palette works SO well with Steph's! The lineart defo makes a difference ^_^ I'm not into those M.H. dolls per say, but some are cool and I definitely like the concept (I love different creatures and monsters)

[@DoodleDate]

Thank you so much! I just love the quirk designs with different monsters mashed into them LOL

[@jessicamarielovato3600]

My daughters have this set and they absolutely love this. When a color is all used up they can change them by themselves. Thumbs up on this product.

[@sourcherry8777]

The sketches this time look extra nice! Also, that shade of blue is such a perfect shade! 💙😊🩵

[@jacespicy6604]

i used to watch your videos a couple years back but something happened and id either swapped youtube accounts or id lost the subscription somehow but seeing this video in my recommended made me feel so happy like i cant believe id forgotten about you two. still the sweetest most pleasant videos. and i feel this has come back to me during a time where its been especially hard for me to get into making art anymore and it just feels right. like oh my god i missed you two without even realizing it. now ive got a backlog of so much stuff to watch

[@andysartz]

Also, Adamo, you have changed! I remember when you used to water down your watercolors so much we barely saw anything on paper, and now you've picked all that blue at once! I gasped lol

[@katelillo1932]

Ooh a surprise Monday doodle date! This is just what I needed on my lunch break at the pharmacy ☺️ thank you art friends!

adam: a girl with water hair! me: KOBO!!!!!!

[@beemoh]

Good to know I'm not the only person whose mind went straight to her

[@MiriamCamilla]

Got some Monster high dolls but am unsure if I should keep or give away to an artist? Got Draculaura ? And Clawdeen??? Got the one for free and Draculaura arrived naked found her a little doll dress of an other doll brand she happened to fit into so that’s good, it is also pink so it suits her hair. Clawdeen was a 5 euro find along with a little doll sofa in her original outfit. I rather don’t really want to give them to kids (I mean sure I could but they won’t stay so pretty for long then unless it’s a careful kid) The dolls are currently staying on a bookshelf sitting on the edge with each other. (So the sofa isn’t even used atm) The paint set doesn’t look all too bad for a simple watercolour paint. Did always think of crayola kind of like how Adam does but quite enjoy what you both made from it. Also know the goosebumps from textures my sister and I both too.

[@painterlypotts]

Ohhhh whatr a pair of cute watercolour girlies!!! Watercolour is peak cute-girl colouring medium because it's easy to make everything look at pretty and glowy like a shoujo manga. They turned out so good!

[@sydd418]

aww adams character design is so cute!!!

[@peachdavid9992]

The colours are so vibrant both your art pieces are wonderful. The paint also doesn’t look bad considering it’s meant for kids , wonderful video as always.

[@emailaddress9678]

awwww yeaah the crayola reviews are amazing as always. really loved adam’s character design today!!

[@lizbotnick]

Fun to see pigment papers get more love! There's others out there now, but I'm most familiar with the Peerless watercolor sheets. People could absolutely refill the palette with them, just make a template and cut the pigment papers into the same shape. Though definitely not gonna be as washable as Crayola!

[@berglindhammerschmidt6975]

Such a nice and chill video to wind down after work today. I was hoping for a filling my water brush interlude there for a sec lol. One thing about these is you don't get any space in the pallet to mix or dilute the colours hmm...

[@DoodleDate]

For what it's worth Bergie, I sang "Fillin' my waterbrush" to Adam while he filled the waterbrush hahha!!

[@fifteefoolish4879]

[@Chichirinoda]

I absolutely LOVE both of your final artworks!!! Now I want to go draw something **runs away to my art desk**

[@dees3179]

Interesting there is n pink leaning red. Seems very limiting. It’s nice to have a palette for kids who are keen on ‘grown up art’ but don’t yet have the motor control for fiddly little palettes, because they can have the satisfaction of moving their colours around etc. And then when it’s used up, there would be nothing stopping you getting some kid safe watercolour tubes like reeves and making some home made refills in whatever colours you wanted on a bit of thick Yupo paper.

[@DoodleDate]

Even though you cannot get refilled once theyre used up, you can totally customise this with your own paints for sure. the palette is actually really well made! :D

Hullo Adam&Steph, Yes her work is book worthy! In fact I believe that I have some of your books already! I am thinking as I watch this video roll, this palette is very kid friendly! In fact if your kid does love it, perhaps you and Steph are falling for it as well? I believe that you can replace the Crayola paint disks with Viviva or Peerless watercolor sheets! You can cut out circles from the sheets and pop them into this Crayola palette! It is a little wasteful of the color sheets but if you want to encourage continuity you can easily upgrade your paint disks and you can then create truly lovely artworks! Thank you for once again sharing your time, thoughts and paintings with us!

Wow your guys' art came out especially gorgeous in this video! I love the watery effects on Adam's , and Steph's Twyla is so cute and the colors came out great. This seems like a great little set for kids, beginners, or people who just want some cheap paint to experiment with, but it's so annoying they don't sell refills for it, I hate when "refillable" products don't have any refills available or make it hard to find them.

[@AtomicJava]

Ohhhh I want to give these a try on my channel! I absolutely love what you guys came up with, Adamo you’ve gotten so good that your artwork is so reminiscent of Studio Ghibli x Toriyama concept work and Steph’s style is always so adorable I love the idea of a Monster High illustrated story in her style much love to you guys 💛💙

Wow, I have to say, the paper quality seems to be much more important than the paint quality! These both look so much better than anything I do on more crappy paper with Kuretake Gansai Tambi or Sonnet!

Wow! I think I might need to purchase this set. They seem super pigmented and nice! And they look like they dry down to look kinda like a marker which I quite like. Also I think Steph is definitely good enough to draw for monster high! I think the main issue is that her style doesn’t quite match theirs. So its a matter of style and not talent!
