[@deedeebattle2522]

Wonderful content and information. I never stopped coloring, since the age of 4 and I'm 60, now. From Crayola to Caran d'ache. You truly gave an excellent list of essentials. 😜

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Happy Coloring!

@Deacon Shane I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@jacktoby1907]

@Deacon Shane it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out !

[@nancybarney2330]

Great list of essentials! One thing I do with my BTSKY pencil cases (Love them!!) is I put down a long strip of masking tape on each page(usually along side the pencil loops) & then write the respective pencil numbers on the tape(with a extra fine sharpie)in color order matching each slot with each pencils number! This way when I remove several pencils I know exactly where each pencil goes back in respective order or if I've lost a pencil I know which one missing! I don't write on the case because I may need to change cases as with Black Widows that keep adding more pencils to the set! Thanks for your Great Channel!😉👍💖

[@jotosdevine3028]

Your channel was recommended to me a few months ago and I've watched every upload since! Your channel is one of my favourites, thank you!

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

That is so sweet! Thank you so much for watching my videos. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my channel. 💕

[@studioandromedawn4838]

Hey Pamela! Wonderful videos, I love your style. I also store my pencils and coloring whatnots in containers; I tend to dishwasher-wash my larger pickle and jam jars and then once all the labels are history, I use colorful art sticker labels on them. And put “arting tools” or other similar words on them. I actually already have most of what you have so rightfully suggested here, except the Dahle sharpener; my hands ache too much if I use a hand-crank, although the Kum(I have the one you showed plus the 2-holer ones) for some reason doesn’t! 🤷‍♀️ Lol. I mainly use the Jarlink one I have and my back-up AFMAT. Both electric and the Jarlink is also battery operated. I just re-initiated my adult coloring hobby after 4-5 years of not coloring; I art journal and also draw and paint. Thanks for your awesome channel! Keep up the great work. I have suscribed and will keep on watching. Happy coloring and have a fabulous New Year 2023 !

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Welcome to my channel. Happy New Year!

[@Aliciacapturedmoments]

Love these all. I have the same pretty flower pencil case for my Prismacolors. I took a sharpie and right next to the elastic pencil loop I wrote the number of the pencil so when I pull a bunch of pencils to use, I can easily see where they go back to easily. Then I don’t have to get my color chart out.

[@melissaclark7734]

🧡 I'm glad to have you as a recommendation, nice to have a little chat with you😊😊

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I am so glad my channel was recommended to you. I hope you enjoyed the video. Have a great day and happy coloring!

[@gwenscoggins1]

I just watched this and slap me silly I did not know there was such a thing as drawing paper precut to fit in a printer! All this time I've been trimming mine from my tablets down muttering to myself I wish there was such a thing LOL ! Thanks Pamela now I know!😁

[@Christine__D]

Thank you so much for these great products! As a newbie I am very overwhelmed by all the choices.

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

Agreed. Prismacolors are my spirit pencil. Since 1985.

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

This is an incredible visual list!! 👏👏 The only thing missing is the printer! Thank you for the help!! 🤗

[@cathybarnett8107]

I appreciate you! I have learned so much from you! You are awesome! Thank you!

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

That is so sweet! I am so glad you're learning from my videos. Happy Coloring!

[@BarbBColorReader]

I loved this video. Agree with your essentials. As for paper/cardstock....yes, 67 lb is perfect for pencils and has tooth. I have that and also 100/110 lb paper which is good for markers.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Good paper is so important. Happy Coloring!

[@cindysdiystudio2599]

Hey Pamela, I'm a member of your Facebook group and been following you videos on your youtube channel for a few months. I've learned a lot about how to work with pencils. I've been arty/crafty all my life. But I have a completely different question out if my curiosity, being a Southern girl I use "y'all" and was wondering what Southern state you are from. In from Alabama by the way.

[@your-hermajestyismypronoun7372]

Hey Pamela, I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions. First, the Dahle sharpener goes for around $60 here in Canada (about 47 USD). Does that sound right? It seems very pricey for a pencil sharpener. Second, have you ever tried a kneaded eraser? I'm eyeing up the Mono Zero eraser but shaping the kneaded eraser into a fine tip does the trick as well I think. Lastly, I recently bought a 3-pack of Uniball Signo white gel pens and like them a lot. Would you recommend to also get the Posca markers? Or is one or the other enough to create highlights? Maybe it makes more sense to ask how you decide when to use the Posca as opposed to the Uniball Signo and vice versa. Thank you!

[@juliastanbury9245]

Great video once again! Is it bad that there’s just one item that I don’t have? That’s the Dahl 133, it’s in my wish list though 😁 Thank you so much for everything you do, my colouring has come so far since I joined your group 🥳🤩

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Oh my goodness Julia! How could that be the only one you don't have? That's my absolute favorite and a must-have. I hate to be the enabler... Haha! So glad you enjoyed the video.

[@juliastanbury9245]

Pamela's Passion for Pencils I have an electric sharpener that’s pretty good and I also have the KUM. In fact, I have several sharpeners including a Faber Castell one 🙈😂

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I have a lot of sharpeners too....the life of a colorist, right? 😂

[@JodiHamilton]

I could not live without my single hole pencil cases. Also single space. And I put my pencils away with the color/name/number up. :)

[@JodiHamilton]

AND I just bought those pastels! They arrived yesterday.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Yes! Organization is KEY! Love my single slotted pencil cases.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Enjoy those pastels!

[@simoresims755]

Ditto that! I have the same EXACT one as Pam(?)ela too. Bought it before I found her, not after. Though it's been a while since I've colored, so she definitely had hers first! Just an interesting coink-a-dink! I also store them, name/number up. How do you find what you're looking for if you don't?

[@Adeline9418]

I noticed you didn't recommend any sort of easel for coloring. I color in my chair and am beginning to get issues with my neck from looking down. I ordered one. Hope it helps me.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I hope it gives you some relief. Lap desks are wonderful for coloring in a chair. ♥️

[@Adeline9418]

@@PamelasPassionforPencils i have a lap desk but I still look down.

[@unboundbytiffany]

I love using my art board, holds multiple things on (get one with the clip AND the rubber bands) and it's easy to use on lap, held upright, sideways, wherever and it's extra lightweight. But even just a clipboard is super helpful sometimes.

[@foxykc]

very well explained.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Glad it was helpful!

[@patsysweat8536]

I just wonder if you ever have problems with your Dahle? I am on my third one. I love it, but sometimes I put a pencil in and the part that pulls out immediately shoots back in and the handle moves freely without sharpening the pencil. It’s so upsetting. Is it just me?

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Hi Patsy! I have never had any issues with my Dahle. I have heard a lot of people say they have some issues and sometimes it's just something they were doing and not realize it. I made a video on the Dahle to help everyone out since it comes with no directions. Maybe try this video and if you're still having issues, I would contact Amazon to see if you can do a return. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIfRqo2Xd5iVrck

[@susangreening632]

Has anyone used Lyra Rembrandt pencil crayons?

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Hi Susan, I have not used them. You can go to my Facebook group and ask as I'm sure someone there has used them and can answer your questions. Have a great day!

[@susangreening632]

@@PamelasPassionforPencils Hi I started colouring in 2016 and was living in the Middle East at the time Pencil crayons were hard to get so started colouring with Lyra groove slim 36 set as i was not sure whether i would enjoy colouring but to my surprise i loved it. I returned back to South Africa 2.5 yrs ago and found crayons impossible to buy like Prismacolour i would kill for those but with the exchange rate they are so expensive... i got a set of 36 Colleen pencil crayons but as i watched youtube colouring tutorials i found myself frustrated as the colours being used never matched with my colour so i gave up my colouring... then on my 60th birthday i found the Lyra Rembrandt and compared to Prismacolor they were less expensive i read reviews and thought they sounded great so purchased the 72 set which has a wonderful array of colours but i still seem to be in a rut that everything i start to colour i hate and give up... since watching your videos which i love i am feeling more inclined to start my hobby again... my only wish is that i can find some colour alongs using the Lyra... but thank you so much for inspiring me again... i love watching your videos 👍 hope this was not too boring 🙄

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Maybe I'll have to do another video on my least favorite supplies.

[@aprill551]

Looks like that eraser is a Fractis. Just a guess

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Thank you. I will go look. I tried to find it yesterday but it was difficult to find since the name had been ripped off the label to extend the eraser.

[@FairytaleSF]

@@PamelasPassionforPencils Yes, it's a Factis. I had one when I was a child =D

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Thank you. I am going to go look for it and update my links. I appreciate the input. It's an awesome eraser!

[@FairytaleSF]

@@PamelasPassionforPencils you're welcome! I really love my Tombow Mono Plastic Eraser. It's also very cool because it comes in a bar you need to twist, similar to Crayola Twistables.

[@unboundbytiffany]

My white prismas won't put anything over any of my colors. Like nada.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

It’s very dependent on the paper you’re using. Most of the time it works for me. The Holbein white I’ve been loving these days!!

[@tracypeacock842]

I hate that pencil sharpener ... it doesn’t hold my pencil .. that piece you pull forward to put pencil through ... snaps back while I am trying to sharpen the dang pencil ✏️ drives me nuts ...I do however love the prismacolor round hand held one ... it has worked on all my pencils wax/oil. I just purchased a few different sets of colored pencils .. I looked for a video on the Pablo 120 order and you don’t have one lol 😂. I had to do it myself haha ...

[@janettackett1885]

The same thing happened to me with my Dahl pencil sharpener. I much prefer my Prismacolor hand held pencil sharpener.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Tracy, it shouldn't snap back. I have not had that issue with mine. I have also come to find out, when sharpening my very tiny pencils, that you don't need to pull the part forward. You can actually stick your pencil in and leave that part where it is. You would just need to push the side button. As for the Pablos, I looked too and I did not swatch them. I still need to do that so thank you for the reminder!

[@newtritonewt]

I really want to get the prismacolors but I’m just so disappointed in knowing that they are cheaply made :( I’m scared of getting broken pencils, and I know sharpening them is a pain so… I don’t know

[@unboundbytiffany]

Bright side, prismacolor (newell) will replace them if you contact them.

[@katpaw1785]

You place so much emphasis on the best… the best paper the best sharpener the best this the best that… you never talk about just the enjoyment of the whole thing.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I have plenty of videos where you can see how much I enjoy coloring. If I didn’t find joy from all my coloring books and art supplies, I would never put the amount of time I go into making KZbin videos specifically for this hobby. This video is recommendations for essential coloring supplies.

[@your-hermajestyismypronoun7372]

You're right, she clearly derives no enjoyment from coloring. That's why she's devoting her time and energy to a KZbin channel all about coloring.
