Fantastic Thrift or SCAM? 100-year-old CRAYOLA Crayons

[@shadufdoodles]

I’m so impressed with how intense the pigments have stayed over the years. Also Steph’s caterpillar makes me so happy to look at it’s so ROUND

[@DoodleDate]

A round friend craves only lettuce!!

[@shadufdoodles]

@@DoodleDate let him have the lettuce it’s what he deserves

[@WillowRoseArlen]

All those colors! Crayons look so much more epic in a big tray rather than crammed together in a box. Also, the editing in this video is TOP NOTCH. I mean, it goes without saying that your videos have always been amazing, but I feel we need to acknowledge it. :)

[@DoodleDate]

Thanks so much!! We're really trying our best with video production!

[@WillowRoseArlen]

@@DoodleDate well it's working! You two are so amazing it's awesome to see you grow ❤️

[@katelillo1932]

Wow, the drawing of the truck the child drew was still so vibrant 😱 it looked like it had just been drawn yesterday! Crayola does make a good crayon 🖍

[@jayteadesigns]

I'm 74 and the largest box of crayons that I can remember was the box of 48. Crayola didn't have that many colors including fluorescents back then. I have never seen this anywhere else, but I'll keep looking! 😀

[@SurinaSlackArt]

This is so cool to know that crayons can last nearly a century and still look great. I love these dives into antique art supplies. Your drawings look so beautiful!

[@lilbuztahs]

Y’all give me such motivation to practice and find joy in traditional mediums again after being a digital artist for a while there’s almost something very self-fulfilling feeling your materials in your hands 💙❤️

[@DoodleDate]

Its fun to try out any and all art mediums! :D We hope you enjoy whatever you decide to use on your own art journey as well

[@linwong1494]

It's kinda whack how vibrant those pigments are for such old crayons. Also I love how the robin is the same birdo from the Suncatchers video! And the wormy thief is unreasonably cute! Another great video guys :)

[@WillowRoseArlen]

I'm with Steph, ringbound notebooks aren't my fave. I love the double-spread look 😍 but then again, ring bound is convenient for sketching on your lap if you are out and about.

[@DoodleDate]

For travelling ring bound can be so useful!!

[@SaschaV]

I adore ringbounds personally because I can rip out pages more easily haha.

[@4444-c8j]

I'm loving the Crayola Chronicles ❤

[@DoodleDate]

This is an AMAZING SERIES NAME

[@andysartz]

The 100 years old sketchbook is definitely one of my favorite videos of yours, too!

[@harrybisto3786]

you’re passion to art and each other just always makes me smile. just the way you make each other giggle

[@Lemu_with_a_shirt]

Yes Adam, chapped lips and actually all my skin chaps. Only way to help it for me is finding exactly the right oils and moisturizers and not forgetting them a single day. Ultimately masking a few times a week if possible. And lip gloss hair is very annoying indeed, best to stick to short hair.

[@michaelahuss2123]

Both drawings are so cute!! 🌬🍃🐛🐦 It’s always a treat to see you guys show love to old art supplies!! 🖌🎨 🖍

[@devinswanson6204]

i have literally been watching u guys since i was in 6th grade u guys literally helped me through my depression and now i’m almost graduated and still a watching ur vids 😅💜

[@DoodleDate]

Oh my goshhh thank you so much for your support for so long Devin! We appreciate you so much and it's an honor to be able to help you through times which arent so great.. Here's to things looking better than ever for you!! :D

[@peachdavid9992]

Hi doodle date I love old art supplies so I’m excited to see you both use old crayons. Also thankyou for always making cool content your both amazing.

[@DoodleDate]

Thanks so much! 😊 We really appreciate you!!

[@SquibbleDesign]

The colours are so vibrant! I would be curious to see a comparison with modern crayola colours side by side! (Yay swatching! 🥳🖍 )

[@stroodledoodles]

This was so radically different from the rollercoasters that were the previous Crayola videos lol The fact that I only just found this channel 2 weeks ago is a crime, you guys are so much fun!

[@mirjanbouma]

Omg hi new art friend! You have so many cool videos you get to watch for the first time!

[@stroodledoodles]

@@mirjanbouma Hi art friend! I've been binge watching their stuff for the past few days, it's been great!

[@siliconsciousness]

The image of the wind curling up in a cave to go to sleep is so pleasant. Whoever wrote this had a lot of fun with it.

[@jocelynecupcake]

Edit: 1958? Makes sense Those are all 100 years old? My grandma died last year at 84 and she used to tell me she only had a few colors of crayons growing up! And yes, they were Crayola. I love the colors tho

[@DoodleDate]

All i can say is.. you'll find out LOL

[@jocelynecupcake]

@@DoodleDate hehe yes! I just saw the actual year and it makes sense! Still wish I had those colors

[@saira_not_sarah2803]

watching steph ink is a new level of satisfying

[@witchyjaycee]

Steph's tremor seems to be getting easier to handle! So proud of her and how she's learned to deal with it! 🥰

[@mcescher1957]

Ok....so if those crayons were made in 1959....then they are 63 years old, not 74. I'm only saying this because I was born in 1957, and this may have been something my parents bought me, as I've been drawing my entire life.. Don't mean to sound snarky....it's just hard enough to be a "new" senior without people thinking that the "antique" art supplies I possibly used are 9 years older than me instead of 2 years YOUNGER than me. That being said, I love watching people being excited by past art supplies. I think you two are great.

[@dartdart1651]

Aw, I wanted one of them to do something with the man in the moon and the dog!

[@DoodleDate]

honestly all the prompts in this thing were SO GOOD! If anyone wants to try them please tag us!!

[@MorriganSlayde]

it makes me so happy how happy you two are to find surprise kid art

[@berglindhammerschmidt6975]

OH MY! Crayola Crayons I would have never expected it :O

[@DoodleDate]

I'm sure this is a big shock for you HAHAH

[@WillowRoseArlen]

Steph your drawing is so cute! Your lines look really smooth, I hope that means you're doing well on the medication. Sorry about all the comments, LOL Also YES my lips get dry or chapped a lot, my favorite thing I've found is Carmex "classic medicated lipbalm"

[@miaikonteras4006]

It's so cool that these crayons held up so well. I love both your drawings. The round robin is cute, and the overlong sleeves on Wind are adorable! Also, I wouldn't have guessed Adam is colorblind if he didn't mention it. The color choices on both are really good.

[@raine2502]

You guys just popped up on my recommended and I had a flood of memories come back! I watched you guys a lot around three years ago! Excited to see ya again

[@DoodleDate]

Aww thanks for checking in on us, we're still around and arting! Hope you've been keeping well too :D

[@raine2502]

@@DoodleDate you guys were such an inspiration to me when I was still in the beginning of my art journey! So excited to see more of your guys stuff

[@sierakelley4705]

I just got done with a lot of overtime last week and I’m glad to be chilling with the art friends ❤

[@Taracinablue]

This is so fun! The art prompts in poem form were lovely. And I especially like Steph's *adorable* illustration =)

[@andysartz]

I always get so excited when you guys use old art supplies! There's something magical about them. And those crayons look super nice! It's a shame you didn't get to use the sharperner, but the video is still awesome. I especially like Adam's drawing, it's so flowy!

[@rowanbean7197]

Adam, yours reminded me of Syl/Sylphrena from Sanderson's Stormlight Archive! She's a wind spren (kind of like an elemental) and she's all blue!

[@katalinelo8011]

I guess in the 50s they weren't so overcautious about using non-toxic pigments. And those old fashioned ones, with heavy metals and other potentially poisonous stuff, may tend to hold longer their colour than synthetic ones with non-toxic substitutes (especially as these aren't around long enough to tell how long they will last in reality - I assume there were lab experiments). No research done, it is just what instantly came into my mind.

[@lillemonwedge2336]

Both pictures came out great! They make me want to draw with crayons 😆

[@wokeupnew]

first time watching them in years. i love them so much

[@DoodleDate]

Aw thank you so much 😭❤️

[@leihaddock]

Talking sketchbooks, I'm actually working on making one myself with some weirdly specific attributes. Like it has this pretty much exactly A6 format for paper but it's "soft". It's also refillable. You can open up one side to slide more paper in or remove some older paper, then lock it back into place. I love sketchbooks and I love keeping them around but I hate how at some point they're full and you have to replace them. So that way I can keep the sketchbook going, just adding or replacing paper along the way. With the measurements I'm working with atm, it can get up to like 4cm thick

[@mcweeb3217]

When Adam sniffed the box was that Metal Gear Solid V music playing

[@clamclou]

If you guys liked the project book art, you should check out the UPA style of animation from the 50s and 60s- this art was definitely inspired by it!

[@mirjanbouma]

I just LOVE these old art supplies videos, it's so original! And of course I like your other videos too ☺️. Have you stopped doing the "prompts from bits of paper pulled from a hat" ones? I rewatched those a while ago and they're so fun, I'd love to see another one if you want to do some! Lots of love from the Netherlands!

[@Christine__D]

I was gonna say those aren't 100 years old lol. BTW I have a box of crayons that probably predate the ones you have and would love to send them to you!

[@Goosebelldog]

That would be so cool! Maybe message them on patreon so you can arrange something, or on their discord!! :D That's very kind and generous of you ❤️

[@CordeliaElise]

New video!! What a great find!! And your guys art is cute as always ✨🌸

[@DoodleDate]

Thank you!! 😊

[@annadownya]

It looks like someone swatched under the crayons. Baby US Steph.

[@DoodleDate]

LOL okay that is totally something she would do as well

[@tess4906]

Lovely illustrations as always! They're absolutley adorable! ☺Can I hope for a video where you draw in the 100 year old sketchbook with the 100 year old crayons perhaps?🤔 Hope you're doing good, and sending a little extra love to Steph praying that everything's going well with your treamor and everything ❤ It's so lovely to see Adam using the glasses, do you still enjoy using them? I hope they're not straining your eyes as much any longer...? My optician gave me a tip for strained eyes, if you're looking at something close to your face for a long time (screen, sketchbook etc.) use the "20 rule", after 20 min look out the window and focus on something 20 meters away for 20 seconds. It helps the eyes relax. Hope this helps someone!

[@bethanylawrence3181]

Pro art tip from a pro art person (me): Fat over lean! Oily mediums like crayons must go on top of less oily mediums like ink!

[@SabrinaHawk]

Same goes with skincare!

[@AlbertFilice]

I love all the old art supply review videos :3

[@silva774]

Oh wow, these are so bright and colourful! They also seem to be quite sturdy for crayola crayons xD I love both the wind lady and the robin with the wriggly worm

I could of never kept my crayons that pristine as a child. Let alone for 70 years, very impressed.

[@ameliamangham4460]

My first thought was how do they smell

[@DoodleDate]

NOT GOOD LOL

[@daisiesforghosts]

As someone who studied art history I knew right away that was from the 50s not the 20s 😭 I’m so sorry you got scammed. At least it’s still vintage and not a modern replica

[@NauticUrchin]

I fell in love with crayons recently and I'd love a big set like that! Could do without the smell tho :'D

[@DoodleDate]

Right?! But i can look past it because the colours are so dang nice!

[@bevybee2012]

Here in the US Crayola makes sets as big as 152 crayons

[@NauticUrchin]

@@bevybee2012 I know and I'm so jealous!! I live in Germany and I haven't seen Crayola in stores but we definitely have their products, since my pack I got online has German packaging! It's so weird!

[@lyllydd]

Ok, here's a question for you. Are the older formulation crayons blendable with baby oil? If so, that might help with the texture issues.

[@PixieBulb]

You guys this video was JAM PACKED with so much goodness that if I were to comment on everything I wanted, this would be a storybook not a comment anymore 😅 I am loving the vibe of your videos lately! (I am suspicious - I wonder if modern crayola crayons are worse quality than those grandaddy ones? I cannot imagine a silver crayon in today's world being that vibrant!!)

[@boopdeedo4138]

Hey there Adam and steph! I have a bunch of old art supplies I've gotten from family members, including some really cool old colored pencils meant to color in black and white photos. I'd love to send you stuff if you want it!

[@KagomeMorino]

So I'm interested to see what the peach color is called. Back in the day it was just called flesh. One of the wives didn't like it and pushed to change it to peach.

[@sallybanner]

I think it's 64 years old sweeties, not a math whiz myself but my ma was born in 48 and is 74 years old :D

[@applepie9937]

Uh i dunno if anyone commented this before. But I've recently watched a KZbin video at the side of an artist who uses oil paints and one who uses acrylics and they talked about the differences and stuff! And the artist with the oil said that they were always super shocked when people who don't have a studio thats properly ventilated and stuff just casually use oil paint cause it's apparently really dangerous to use? They said the least you have to do is paint with all the windows open and even then they wouldn't recommend it. That might be worth looking into 😅 cause you mentioned a video with oil paints that made you feel weird.

I think orange is considered a modern color. Back in the days people did not differentiate it as it’s own separate color. Maybe that’s why it’s named as yellow?

Supposedly crayons are made of paraffin, which doesn't degrade or decompose. Good for art, awful for landfills.

I'm pretty sure most of the crayons are definitely toxic and the silver and gold crayon probably contain REAL silver and gold lol.
