I tested Amazon Basics art supplies... *kinda shocked*

[@Terrelli9]

When you said “it’s not a hedgehog,” I immediately said, in the most enchanted voice, “It’s a bloop! It’s a floofy bloop! So, that’s my suggestion. Floofles the Bloop. Adorable, by the way!

[@MiraByler]

Floofles the Bloop is an epic name!!

[@christahanley522]

I would love it if you started trying out less expensive brand's of everything, from pencils ✏, to acrylic paint, that even includes media paper 📃 and etc. This was a great and honest review.

[@eliceawebber7512]

For the colored pencils… I’ve never used these before but is it possible the reason they kept breaking is because of how sharp you made them? Even the lightest pressure seems like a lot for those tiny sharp tips… As always, I love your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your opinions!!!

[@kaitlynpak4194]

Yeah, I have the same pencils and I think they're fine. I don't oversharpen them and they rarely break.

[@olivianoelart]

That’s what I was thinking too because those there very tiny points and only that section was breaking. The rest never broke. They seem like decent colored pencils!

[@teddygrl06]

I was thinking the same thing, I have the same colored pencils and they never break and I’m pretty heavy handed

[@ITSME-sp5up]

Yes!!

[@fangchick93]

I use those coloured pencils all the time and they rock. They are not lightfast at all (did my own test), but the blend beautifully and I've only had one lead break during sharpening. And my pencil leads don't break when colouring, but I have a lighter hand with art. And I tend to hold pencils to the side when colouring to preserve the point.

[@ohnoes7032]

Thank you for this input! Thats the main difference between cheap and pricey, the lightfastness. make a nice drawing, hang it on the wall and less than a year later it's all bleached...

[@shirleyf21916]

I've had water based markers before and used a paintbrush and treated it like a watercolor marker, that helped the streakiness a bit for me at least, Just thought I'd mention it if you haven't tried it already.

[@timmyke26]

i color on a glaas surface and it makes it easy as well to make new colors, i like it more then i do alcohol markers, they make me light headed ;-)

[@karikraftkorner]

I was actually wanting to see a review on these when you DO use them with a paintbrush that is what I am looking for...

[@allisonluke850]

Has anyone else tried the art supplies featured in this video? The way Mira is excited while she’s trying out her new art supplies and reminds me of a child on Christmas morning opening their presents.

[@arrowbutterfly3207]

The dual tip markers I usually color on a plastic sheet and then use a paintbrush and use it almost like a water color

[@Rebecca_English]

Foofles is adorable! I think I see what's going on with the breakage on the color pencils. They're oversharpened. Super sharp points on soft core colored pencils just tend to break more easily. It might be worth looking at those pencils again using slightly broader points!

[@christynm.8933]

I also 100% agree!

I've hear so many different reviews on the pencils that it is really hard to know if they are good or bad, not that i need more pencils but they seem like something to get for my niece to practice with 🙂

[@niamhcaitlin9252]

Hi there! I have heard a lot about these pencils and my cousin owns the 72 set of them! He says that they seem to work really well, have lots of pigmentation and you don’t need to do much layers for a clear colour!however, the gold is apparently really ‘scratchy’ and they don’t blend supper nicely! However it depends on personal preference and what they will be used for - great range of colours and many more great factors to be considered! Hope this helped in any way 😀

[@Ruse3]

Mira mentioned they're priced between crayola and prismacolor, and I'd say that applies to the quality, too. Probably closer to the crayola end of the spectrum. I'll sometimes grab one if I want a specific colour I lack in another set, but they're not on par with better pencils. If your niece is young and not overly experienced, I think they'd be fine; but if she's geared towards colouring more seriously, something a bit higher quality would be nicer.

[@callmehbear5772]

Its because she oversharpened them and used them at the tip, not the side.

[@phobosescanor9190]

[@dreamrabbits5072]

I think the pencils are breaking so much because it probably got smashed during shipping, amazon ships stuff really terribly sometimes, especially with art supplies even if they're high end. It's the same with any colored pencil, the leads break inside if it's handled incorrectly. Maybe try running it over with a heat gun or put it out in the sun for a while for the cores to fuse back together.

[@dimcclung]

I personally have the colored pencils and the drawing kit, and I love them both so much.

Question, with the markers, given that they are water based, if you use a damp paintbrush, do they blend and do the streaky lines disappear?

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I was really hopeful for the markers, because I LOVE my Tombow, but they are so gosh-darned expensive. It’s unfortunate they are so streaky. I’ve tried a bunch of different water-based markers, and most of them are streaky, but Tombow are the least streaky I’ve tried (other than the Arteza watercolor brush pens, but I can’t control the brush tip that well compared to the Tombow). I call my cats Floofles, sometimes! Such a cute name.

the only reason the lead breaks *_so much_* is because it's oversharpened. with a little bit of force on pencils that are too sharp, it can easily break the pencil's lead. so it probably would have been better if you left the pencils the way they were, and then it would have not broken as much as it did.

I'm interested to see that a stand was included in the marker set, but I thought that double- ended markers should be stored horizontally, to keep the ink available at both ends... I keep my markers flat in a tin on it's side, so I can pull out the colour I want to use.

This was a fun video. I especially liked watching you doodle, even though I clicked on this because I was really interested in what you thought of Amazon art supplies. I am not so sure about monopolizing all products by any company. I like review videos and comparison videos because sometimes the results are surprising. Sometimes someone decides to actually make quality affordable again. Then it is worth supporting them. Also sometimes I bought something and have no idea how to use it and both these videos help with trying new art supplies. So yes, these are great videos. I love watching you make art. So, so happy you drew a darker skin toned girl. She came out amazingly and it is inspiring because all skin tones are hard, but darker ones are harder. Her dress is so amazing with her skin tone. It encourages and inspires me to try copy it and learn. Thank you. I am a big fan of yours and would love to see you paint on a gold canvas.
