NOT THESE AGAIN - ScrawlrBox Challenge

[@CreativeCarrah]

"You hear that? You hear that? That is me sharpening my pencil" Why did that make me giggle?

[@minidonut_6315]

Creative Carrah oh car ran you are my favorite artist notice me

[@bendodd03]

Because it sounds like a playful sass. Which can be funny to people like you and me

[@msjfjwjjwnfd2198]

That played right when I saw this comment

[@nicolle2126]

in defense of white colored pencils, they're mainly used for blending and burnishing, not to make opaque whites on top of the other colors ^^

[@Macabrellian]

Thisss. Also, they're magical on toned paper. My whites definitely get used the most of all my pencils.

[@skaweirromeda6787]

In tan or gray paper they work so nicely

[@raven.9550]

Thank you I use them all the time for when I want to blend something

[@AnaS-zc6ql]

Finally someone that understands

[@Name-yv2zq]

and on black/tan other colored paper

I have the latest scrawlr box and you'll be pleased to know it doesn't contain water colour pencils, erasers or sharpners.

[@TescoNoodles]

same haha

[@fiemy6888]

I love the latest!

[@Vanvanvanlyvan]

Yeah but we’ve had a lot of varieties of the item that was the main part tbh.

[@CreativeCarrah]

I love watercolor pencils, personally, but hate watercolor haha. I feel like I have more control with the pencils than I do with an actual paint brush.. then again, I have refused to use watercolor for a few years because I just had such a bad experience with it. Maybe I would like it more now. Anyway, been obsessed with Derwent Inktense pencils which I *think* are watercolor ones?

[@hazu06]

Inktense aren't watercolours, they are inks and because of that they work a bit differently compared to watercolours. Not sure how to explain the differences ^^"

[@CreativeCarrah]

Yeah it's bizarre. That's why I say "think" haha. They work in the same way, but dry permanent and I found that it's easier to layer the inktense ones vs normal watercolor ones~

[@abigailisnotokay6967]

I have so much trouble controlling the bush! (Btw I love your channel)

[@ThunderStruck15]

a loser who likes math but cant be succesful at it exactly like a watercolor pencil, but once it's wet, it behaves like ink: you can't rewet it.

[@mjpete27]

@@hazu06 Ink are dye based so NOT archival NOT lightfast graphite is NOT Pigment so longevity is also in question

[@annaventuree]

I really like this style of editing for you. It feels like a livestream. I love it. ❤❤❤

[@wahhbajack]

You don't have to do like...a thick saturated layer of pencil. Have you tried light coloring? I noticed when I tried watercolor pencils that when I pressed too hard I got that grainy texture. When I colored lightly I didn't. and it smoothed out fine. Granted I know jackshit about watercolors PFFT

[@TakoKat]

yeah! you can start light and then add contrast instead of pressing hard the whole time uvu

[@jodiac]

Specially with the dewrent graphitint pencils which dissolve more and easier? than normal watercolor pencils

[@thatonepersonwithoutacreat7503]

I love how you are so honest- you say when you don’t like something, and I think that it makes your videos so much better.

[@wackity.7879]

You just need to learn how to use watercolour pencils- use the texture to your advantage. Crosshatch different coloured pencils together. Use them with different media- you can use them to line- add to watercolour illustrations. Beatrice Alemagna is a good example of an illustrator who uses them

[@wackity.7879]

Also you can just reactivate a few lines/areas within an image. Don't think about them being an alternative watercolour- think as them as being a unique thing to experiment with

[@monstersinmayhem8339]

It's easier to use the side of the pencil for a smoother look, and to drag the water in a circular motion rather than side to side. Water color pencils take awhile to get used to, but once you get the hang of it they are a lot of fun. You can also use a wet brush to steal the pigment directly from the pencil if that's easier for you.

[@justanotherpiccplayer3511]

Also another way I used the pencils to get a smoother texture was by putting a wet brush on the pencil to pick up the colour and then using the brush on the paper

[@aliya8036]

I don’t use watercolor pencils like that. I draw in another paper with the pencils, then take a water brush and take the pigment of the pencils that is in the other paper and put the color down in my drawing. I don’t know if you understand, it’s hard to explain since I’m not an English speaker. But if you do understand, you should try!

[@serentique]

MissLilou You may as well just get actual watercolours if your just using the straight pigment.

[@aliya8036]

Colour Streak - i like using them as pencils as well and since I have them and watercolors are pretty expensive, I’m fine with them

[@hazu06]

I do the exact same as well :D

[@skaweirromeda6787]

I use them over slightly wet watercolors to make sharper details

[@meikahidenori]

@@serentique i use them in the same fashion, mostly because i have slight colour blindness which makes mixing actual paints very difficult for me, and as a bonus are far less messy to take with me traveling around especially with kids! To get the best use out of them as pencils or a mix media combo you need smoother paper than standard cold press watercolour paper. Also, the watercolour pencils you tend to find in the Scrawlrbox are the middle range types instead of artist grade which doesn't always show the best pencil ranges in a good light if you've never used a certain brand before. With the grainyness of using them as straight pencils you can have the same argument with prisma colours, but if you know how to use them and use the right paper you can avoid that awful clumpy/scratchy effect in the same way as with watercolour pencils.

[@mebearcreations]

Always love those mystery box videos where people start using the new supplies right away! I don’t think a subscription to those boxes would be my thing, but it’s definitely fun to watch you unbox and make art. I think your drawing ended up magically well! Awww and love the story 💜💜💜

[@saisriv0304]

Kasey- with water color pencils you don't have to draw on the paper. If you scribble on some plastic, or even take pigment straight from the pencil, it'll be more smooth. Also, I love you but use a flat brushhhhhhh

[@Katieemmaw]

“Maybe you put a rock in there”

[@LiamAmazarashi]

I think you're kind of taken back by the watercolour pencils because you wanna use them just like paints? I think those pencils require a different technique because as you already said it kinda seems 'redundant' to paint it all in and then go over it with water? I still really like the outcome a lot !

[@AstarTiamat]

A good thing for her to try is do the outlines and pull the pigment into the drawing. But yeah, thing she needs to try more watercolor pencil techniques instead of water color or color pencil techniques.

[@who9142]

A pencil case that opens!???How is that even possible?!!!!!

[@rosiex2757]

what a cute piece!! it's really fun to see you try different art mediums that you aren't used to (or don't enjoy that much) you still always manage to turn it into a cute finished piece :) btw the story behind it is cute

[@bekkaanneee]

aw the story of the art is really cute. i think you did a great job with the color pencils, i think they're one of the harder mediums to make look actually good!

[@PampdArt]

Really love your quick stories behind the characters you come up with at the end! Also I really digged watercolor pencils for the longest of times and latelly delved into watercolors themself. So far it's been fun. :)

[@yourfriendami]

Hey, Kasey! You probably won’t see this, but I’ll say it anyways. You’re my favorite KZbinr, and someone who I can always rely on to make me feel better. Your videos have helped me through some tough times, and they can always make me happy. Thank you for all that you do. You’re such an amazing person.

i thought at the start it might have been bad but when you started to do some of the sky and doing the shadow under his hat i was like: hey this is actually pretty good, great job Kasey

[@atinysoftbean1645]

The colour selection is the bomb, I especially love the pretrol one. :O From the way they go down, these could actually be as good as Polychromos. On another note, I love seeing you draw swatches, it's pretty relaxing. Maybe one day you could upload a swatch-compilation of all the swatches you did from subscription boxes etc. . :0

[@raven.9550]

I honestly think this came out really well and the only things that went a little wonky were the eyebrows/mono brow, the eyelashes and the tombstone could have had more shading but overall I really like it. Fun tip for ya, you can use white watercolour pencils for blending and the watercolour pencils work better when not pressing hard

[@sky2333]

I love how much fun you are having with art

[@jayjay-yx8hc]

You're my favourite artist on youtube

[@PumpkinPails]

I love Graphitint pencils! They're the perfect dusty, muted shade for painting creepy graveyards and stormy nights. So, I'm glad you chose to paint a witch in June. 🎃

[@mjpete27]

I do like watercolor pencils better than regular color pencils or the wax/oily kind and when I want to blend them I just add a little water and boom! there, all blended! Also very easy to do a wash in a sketchbook without ruining the paper. Thanks for this scrawlr box opening and art project, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy yourself. We however did enjoy the video!

[@gabypanzito]

Earthy tons... YEAH, This is my jam! I'm already excited

[@lbiwriter]

I love the texture that the pencils give!

[@khrluver]

I've always kind of used watercolor pencils with watercolor paint. They're really nice for doing small details or for textured things. Less good for flat washes or smooth things.

[@mareikeschaufele6741]

I love that real time casually doodling type of video 😍

[@bubblesaur10]

i love your channel so much you dont waste time on a 5 minute intro and your art is so creative and cute :D

[@taldun5032]

I really like the smooth vs. the textured pencil effect with your style! Maybe you should give pencils a try when it comes to details or shadows on your regular water colour!

[@r0ch452]

You can take the color straight form the pencil with the brush and use it more like paint. I use mine as basically a paint stick, it’s a lot smoother that way Or you can dip the pencil directly into water to get a more saturated color. But it doesn’t last long so it works best for small areas

[@NIKKORLASH]

Love it! I can’t stand watercolour pencils either!! They looked good on the witch boy though! :) id love to see you do the all one colour challenge that rin from drawing with waffles did! All her purple art supplies and the ones you had sent her! 💜

[@merel3651]

scrawlr box videos are really fun to watch!

[@vanessagee3942]

You achieve a nice gradient when you move the pigment from the pencil line out to the bare paper. It looks nice the way you do it. Even if it may not be a medium you continue use, you do it well! 😎

[@TrueHypnosis]

I feel like Kasey was more comfortable talking on camera today, and was more chill. :)

[@artwhisps312]

I have a tip for using these and making some smooth and 1 step process. Just make a Swatch card with these pencils and make sure you press hard. After you can put a drop of water on them and pick up the pigment with your paint brush and use it like reg watercolor! I hope this helped ❤️

[@inky_colors1791]

I’m American, you posted this at 6:00 in the mOrNING!! But, I watched it and fell back asleep... 😊👍🏼

[@sophia-qp9qh]

HIIIIII!!!! I loveeeee your videos and you always inspire me to do more art! you are the one who inspired me to use water colors and now they are my favorite medium!!

[@znow_y7393]

I personally use my watercolour pencils for either just using them dry with my other pencils or using them for the details and lineart on my watercolour drawings, also I like to use my lineart colour to shade and use some water to plend in some parts, but most of the time I enjoy the texture my pencils give me

[@SaltyCarrotCake]

Super sick to start off the summer 🤒 this cheered me up! ❤️

[@stabbytron]

This started off so bad, I was worried! But it all turned out okay in the end because you have those mad skills.

[@gracieneely8648]

“Just more room to mess up am I right!” 😂😂😂 lol same

[@minty.bliss.]

I personally love those pencils! I usually mix them in with a regular graphite drawing though, and I rarely add water.

[@kanjifaith6619]

I normally use white colored pencils for blending other colors together, but you have to press down pretty hard to get a consistent color.

[@anayaramirez3072]

I just got the May scrawlr box today it is so good I love it 😆😊

[@kassystefanski1716]

[@gemmakusel8067]

You can try swatching the pencils hectically (really go for it) and then use that swatch as a "pan"/palette... pick up the pigment from there like you would with dried watercolours. (Just in case you get another box with watersoluble pencils). ❤

[@karamcbrayer4702]

Hiiiii!!!Casey your so talented and isperational.I love your videos!I just recently discovered your channel and I'm loving it!

[@codyswint5914]

Hey Kasey! Have you ever tried just using watercolor pencils for only the pigment? Like coloring on a scratch piece of paper and wetting the pigment to pick it up and use them like normal water colors? I’ve seen a few artist use that technique and have good results! I agree with you about how you can’t really get rid of the texture and make it smooth like watercolors when coloring with them traditionally. Maybe this would give you a way to use them!

[@zhard7890]

You could've used the white pencil to fix the moon, but it doesn't matter because it still looks amazing!

[@esikaarman1476]

I love your art!! I’m obsessed!😘😘

[@squesh5974]

One thing I’ve considered with my water colour pencils is breaking them and taking the core to crush up and use it like paint or something, another thing that works pretty well is just dipping the pencil tip in water

[@giuliadr9205]

In highschool I used this type of pencils on top of soft pastels to add details and stuff. Personally I didn’t like the grainy texture cause I like my pencils to be smooth haha, though I noticed that if you want to make a nice base with pencils, try and go in the same direction and don’t change it and use the same pressure so you can layered it later. After that I like the story and the drawing is cute, really like the big pointy nose 👍🏻

[@rosealeehobbies7486]

Aww so cute😍 i LOVE the uni brow 😂😂😂

[@aprilrainsfineart3250]

I feel you though. I'm not fond of watercolor pencils (or water soluable graphite) either. I've just never really figured out how I want to use them I guess... I like the extra control they give compared to watercolor though

[@fiemy6888]

From what I understood, they are supposed to be like graphite pencils, but with color, and though they are water-soluble that isn't their main purpose. I wasn't super keen on them, but I do think they would be nice for graphite studies and sketches like we used to do in my art class - might have to give them a fair try in that. And in defense of the white; it works great for blending and light construction lines on dark paper

[@Fennll]

I absolutely love the texture in this drawing! It's too bad you're not in love with watercolor pencils

[@MaksiZockt]

the white pencils are very useful for drawing on mid tone paper

[@Urushi12kitty]

White colored pencils can be used for blending, like a colorless blender marker!

[@laceyriles5846]

You probably think the art looks bad and messy, but that’s because you made it and you’re always your biggest critic! But as someone who’s seeing the art without seeing the vision that it was /supposed/ to look like, I actually really really like it!! I think the witch is so cute and unique (you never see boy witches!) And I actually REALLY like the sky in the background! 😍 The story was cute too! Watercolor pencils or anything similar IS really weird to work with and they don’t always give the best look, but in this case, I like the weird roughness/texture it gave! It’s very organic and beautiful and I just really liked the piece altogether!! ^_^ ALSO, remember your favorite mug that broke? (😭) Were you ever able to find it or get a new one? Because if not, I was actually able to find it and I wanna buy you a new one! 😊 As a huge coffee drinker, my favorite mugs are super special to me and I have this weird connection with all of them, so anytime a favorite mug breaks, it’s super heartbreaking! I dunno if it was a similar thing for you, but either way, let me know! 😁 Thanks lovely! 💕

[@aprilrainsfineart3250]

Oh my goodness. I saw the featured artwork and I thought to myself "Hm that looks kinda like Lisa's art" then "Nahh that can't be her art" then *gasp* "Oh okay nevermind, it is O_O" She's one of my favorite realist artists!!

[@flattyacid9863]

Can we all just take a moment to be proud that she chose to use the pencils as watercolor pencils even though they technically weren't watercolor pencils and were just water soluble? Go you!!!

[@NinaHahArt]

Hey, Kasey, about watercolour pencils... Maybe you could try picking out the pigment directly from the nib by brush. I know that this trick works on watercolour pencils so maybe will work with these. This will help you avoid that additional step. Another tip: using sharpener get some lead crumbs (minus wood) on a palette/lid and dilute the crumbs. :) IDK if anybody else said that. But I hope it will help you somehow. :)
