ERASER OR PENCIL?! - June 2018 ScrawlrBox Challenge

[@KaseyTheGolden]

Lots of lovely colored pencil tips in the comments here! Thanks, everyone!

[@felicityguillen]

Kasey Golden can you do a challenge with all your scrawlrbox items?

[@mikhail99999]

Are you working with summer camp island the show kinda has your art style

[@rockroller888]

Kasey Golden to get a nice and smooth look, like you desire in water color, use a piece of paper towel to spread the pigment to make it look nice and smooth.

[@rockroller888]

Also, I think it’s called a nib. IDK it’s ment for charcoal but it works just as well.

[@sol6542]

Kasey Golden what pen did you use

[@AMGGchan]

i think the color pencil lines gave hatch a more like childish appearance, it reminded me of those children books that looked like it was colored by kids w/ colored pencils, overall you did great!

[@Melideer]

i don’t like working with double tips, i always try to erase with it and well...that doesn’t work out to well.

[@dustyboialex]

nice pfp lmao

[@Melideer]

Alexbutalsotrash fellow trash?? is that you?

[@koffytoffy7694]

Please excuse me for I am fangirl lol, u just start scribbling on your picture

[@sarahlynn8433]

Please excuse me for I am fangirl omg I do this all the time lol it makes me so mad 😂😂

[@oliviaohden8567]

Please excuse me for I am fangirl I like them and they are cute, but I don’t use them that often.

[@theresaperson8923]

1:29 Kasey: Heather- Me: Heather, Heather, and someone Kasey: and Iris Me: Well.

[@croleighpalma]

[@SaltedToaster]

Here is a few tips with using colored pencils: *Draw lines close together *Don't lift your pencil until your done with one section and ready to move on to the next. *Make sure all the lines are going in the same direction. I'm not the best with traditional art(since I am a digital artist), but I hope this helps :)

[@PhoenAstra]

I don't know how many times I hear watercolor/marker artists say the same thing, "Oh, I don't like the texture of colour pencils give when you use them." You need to keep layering them. You need to work in a circular motion, instead of a linear one. White is your friend, especially with blending and lightening colours. Also, there is watercolor paints that have granulation, meaning it gives a texture. Not all watercolours are smooth looking when applied.

[@SnowWhite-ov9of]

ColourfulKadam YES!!! Thank you!

[@PhoenAstra]

Snow White you're welcome. I'm tired of hearing artists who know nothing about colour pencils and complain.

[@joannaalvarado6649]

Exactly! couldn't have said it better. kind of triggered me how she used the pencils

[@breadbake8896]

ColourfulKadam I think she mentioned trying the circle techno around 6:13, but it is totally true that colored pencils get a bad rap by a lot of artist that haven’t taken the time to learn the technique. A lot of artists starting out use them the same way they used them in grade school so of course they don’t get good results, they should learn actual techniques just like how they don’t use grade school tech with stuff like watercolor

[@PhoenAstra]

bread bake the original comment that I made is very similar to one I made on DrawingWiffWaffles video on this same scrawlrbox and no one really agreed with me. So thanks and I made the comment before she mentioned the technique, but it really doesn't matter because she failed at that said technique.

[@AngelicDirt]

Tortillions, napkins, or even your finger are your friend. I love colored pencils, especially smudging and blending them. They can almost look painterly. But it takes a TON of layering, is all. *GASP* ... Hatch is a girl?!? :O

[@sjsosokdksksk]

If you don't have a tortillion, I've used cotton ear swabs before. I know it sounds kind of gross, but they aren't used or covered in earwax yet so why not, eh?

[@m0rkm0rk]

Angelic Dirt I love watercolor and colored pencils and with both, blending is pretty easy and gives a really nice effect. I haven't used tortillions since middle school because we would do lots of pencil drawings. Also I was very surprised at the gender revelation too. I'm kinda new so I was shocked. Hatch is a really cute character though.

[@m0rkm0rk]

Angelic Dirt then again maybe Hatch just has a more feminine look. This isn't the first time I've seen characters like that. It's a pretty cool concept.

[@lexiswiontek5967]

She said he when talking about hatch

[@lexiswiontek5967]

7:35 She says himself

[@Chaospandaaa]

Ah i wish i would be able to get this box! Those pencils look amazing! I love this colour selection. I own one of those pencil erasers! My teacher from 9th grade made my whole class buy those eraser pens, and we only used them like once in class! Hatch turned out amazing. I love this pencil drawing! I like the idea you came up with!

[@aldoink]

You can buy the box by clicking on the previous boxes tab on the website

[@lintanaheed]

I wanted to subscribe to them but they are too expensive for me

[@rall860331]

You can buy most of the things on the box at any art supply store, and you get tho choose the colours you want. It might be a little cheaper to get the box, because they buy on bulk and things that didn’t sell well.

[@aldoink]

I would do what Ricardo Llamas suggested if you like the look of the pencils, but having used them myself, I wouldn't recommend them - the dual ended thing is just a gimmick and there are better pencils out there

[@shyla2042]

I was always taught that I had to color in the same direction when using coloring pencils and then to blend it with a piece of tissue to make it more smooth, but I don't know I do kinda like that rustik look as well!

[@ctclockwises]

*Wottttt hahahah never seen that kind of pencil before!!!! so interesting :0* ❗❗❗❗❗

[@Sadorins]

Ctclockwises you can get it at art stores

[@arturintete2461]

Miyoko :3 I had no idea.

[@baguette4596]

They’re really cool! My friend got me two for my birthday and they work really well

[@lalkannsb]

Ctclockwises I see your videos on everything!❤️

[@karmajackson2728]

Ctclockwises I have them and they're amazing. I recommend them.

[@S.LEO1]

I had to pause at 1:38. I blew on my screen instinctively to blow away the colored pencil pieces! 😂😂

[@KaseyTheGolden]

Oh no! Hahahaha.

[@nom2153]

I do that to!

[@Leah-yh5sj]

Kasey Golden I did too!!!

[@gachaboy842]

WHY DOES THIS HAVE SO MANY LIIIKKKEEDS

[@ros7444]

Aw welcome

[@__jesterguts]

Youre pic is so cute awwwww

[@Fat-Coww]

Welcome!💕

[@memorycollectorlive1216]

I honestly love when ever Kasey uses Colours Pencil because is like seeing a 5 year old technic with the understanding of colours and composition of a professional artists, which is just something. And Kasey if you want a smooth texture on your colour pencil work small circular motions do the job and the more you layer the more pigment you get. But still fun video!

[@Rinascimenta]

Who else sometimes only reads the thumbnail and not the title of the video?

The way you can see Hatch from under the tracing paper is almost like a reflection affect, I think it looks pretty neat either way

[@smolmizu]

It's a *Eracil*

[@SceneMindCat]

made my day xDD

[@ultraxim]

Or Peraser

[@slime-mm1pe]

O emmm giii...yasssss😂😂

[@Tsukiyumi3]

Simply genius XD

[@emilycreamer1307]

Colored Pencils can definitely give you a smooth look (that is, there aren't any streaks the way you've got, but you can still see the graininess of the wax and pigment). It just takes a lot of patience, practice, and layering, so maybe they just aren't right for you with your watercolor and digital background :)

[@hatimhiddaoui659]

She threw away the sheer paper. She was supposed to use it. OH NO

[@makena4329]

hatim hiddaoui oh darn...

[@atwostarhotel]

she used it at the end (6:50 or so)

[@kajellio]

I loving playing with vellum and acetate and layers in my art. It's fun to be able to reveal and hide things. Hatch is so cute!

[@RohitVinay]

She has such good understanding of color. I get a lot of ideas watching her video for my KZbin art channel.

[@rohitvinay4991]

Rohit Vinay nice artworks in your channel

[@E21Designsonline]

Rohit Vinay keep up the good work

[@RohitVinay]

photo edits thank you

[@RohitVinay]

E21 Designs thank you

[@davesartbook]

That's some nice subtle self promotion right there my man. I'd have tried that myself but I've been too busy posting my art on Instagram at DavesArtBook

[@nettahouse5281]

It so cool to see two artists come up with completely different things with the same general idea. I watched waffles video as well and both finished products are absolutely stunning.

[@Cati.Colours]

Human Hatch is adorable!

[@WerewolfCas]

So cute. The purple eyes do make it off putting like you said. That’s my favourite glue in the world for fidgety work.

[@johnpatton3580]

In order to get a flatter color, you have to go in one direction side to side; not all different directions in circles. Otherwise, well done and great video!

[@PhoenAstra]

Actually, you create a better look using a smaller circular motion and slowly build up colour.

[@johnpatton3580]

However, for lighter colors using less pressure, that technique creates a much more dirty and patchy look. If she were glazing using a color pencil, you are correct. :D

[@PhoenAstra]

Oddball Otter there is a reason why white is a colour.

[@johnpatton3580]

did she have a white? xD

[@PhoenAstra]

Oddball Otter I'm saying overall.

[@JennaGetsCreative]

Your reaction to the eraser pencil is just the best! And you did a MUCH better job of coming up with an appropriate "twisted reality" concept than I did. I don't know why, but that prompt made all the gears in my brain grind to a halt :P

[@anshakhanna2949]

I love your videos Kasey !!! Keep up the great work !❤

[@FayeWulf]

How fun !!! I really adore those colouring pencils. No need to look for a darker or lighter shade of the same colour since they're already on the same pencil.

[@knickerbocker8966]

Liked it before the 10 second mark, lol. Keep up the good work, love your art!

[@gummydoll2652]

So creative Kasey. Wonderful idea. Human Hatch came out so cute. Great job.

[@thursday7682]

Who made Heather into a pencil was it Heather Chandler EXPLAIN!?!?

[@sophiad548]

I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!! WHEN VERONICA KILLED HEATHER C, JD POISONED HER ESSENCE AND MADE IT INTO A PENCIL. NOW SHE CAN REALLY MAKE HER MARK

[@hannahbanana5144]

The replies of this is just 👌👌 Hahaha love it!

[@desireesmith862]

Kasey is the best! I love watching her videos. They just make me feel so creative and I get over my Art block after watching her videos. ❤️

[@keegan.oliviaa]

I remember when I was in elementary school, I used to cut up my erasers into pencil-ish shapes and sharpen them. This pencil could of saved my little self 😂

[@noelle5674]

I love how both Kasey and Waffles open these boxes because then I can see how many different ideas you can come up with! It’s really interesting and I hope you both continue this series, it’s one of my favorites!

[@KaseyTheGolden]

I immediately thought skeleton... but I watched her video after I unboxed everything just to make sure we didn't do the same thing. Wah.

[@noelle5674]

Kasey Golden oh my goodness I can’t believe you responded!!!! But I think you guys both took a different spin on the theme and I loved both the outcomes!

[@mykphobia]

Ive never tapped a notification so fast in my life😂💕

[@octopie1684]

sammme

[@Auroraflair]

Made me actually remember some things from my childhood I forgot about. I remember making a two piece moving pucture where the top paper is rolled around a pencil then fanning the pencil back and forth across the rolled paper to flip quickly between the two images making it change/move. Another thing it made me think of was like a plastic sheet that when drawn on with just the plastic tool, the plastic turned black and when you pulled the plastic away from the backing the image vanished, then you could draw again.

[@jessicaying__]

I love your art style!

[@dominicstanley7958]

I like that you can still see the original image underneath a little, it gives it a little bit of a warped mirror effect.

[@artasticfrog]

Me: *stops everything when seeing Kasey’s new notification*

[@riley3655]

Love you kasey! I’m rewatching most of your videos, just because they’re way too amazing and perfect.

[@sal0mea]

I think you're suposed to draw in one direction (like lines are always horizontal etc.) because then the final piece looks nicer. At least that's what I was told growing up. Don't get me wrong, I loooove this drawing but I'm just giving you tip that might make future pieces even better ^ ^

[@gabrielaizaguirre6465]

Disgust D actually, it’s better if you do small circles lightly and layer. But either way, it’s better than scribbling in lots of directions like she did in the video :/

[@sal0mea]

Z Wolff But it looks less aesthetic (imo)

[@MisteryMaiden8]

A way to get some smooth lay down is to burnish, which you do by pressing hard onto the paper until you get a dark color. You can also work in small circles to keep the soft look, it just takes a really long time. You can get some powder blender for colored pencils or blend it out with odorless mineral spirits as well.

[@CheyenneJames]

I Love your videos ❤️💜

[@ohlawdhecomin305]

You can get a smooth texture with pencils when you have several layers and when you alter the direction of the lines often. Have seen it in Jazza's tutorial!

[@chapin3206]

I just realized... real time

[@livgeneral6487]

Wow that is so cool!! I love that effect with the tracking paper it looks awesome!

[@kenzyhatem5430]

Love this!❤

[@johanna6924]

I always watch like... 3 of the scrawlerbox Videos, waffles, cats and yours and I realy got to say yours are the ones that I like the most because you realy use All the supplies and Do a full artwork with them

[@caspoki]

Is hatch a girl or boy?

[@znufkiin]

Boy.

[@alexis28983]

Even these aren't completely normal colored pencils. I believe the description on the materials card describes them as water-soluble and have an intended use on paper that can handle some water even though they provide paper that specifically cant handle very much water. Hatch turned out great with the materials you were given!

[@sophiawhite7004]

Dude you have a lot to learn about colored pencils 😜

[@sasalosic793]

Sophia White she’s used to watercolor 😛

[@dessyboon6637]

I love how excited you got over the eraser pencil

[@datosdan431]

wut hatch is a gurl?

[@flamingolegs]

eyelashes =/= girl

[@cicreate5761]

That's what I thought! 😅

[@crust1na602]

DatosDan no kasey always says “him”

[@bearshthebear2202]

Hatch is a rabbit

[@cicreate5761]

Green Ruby thanks, your right 😅 I went back and checked it after my confusion 👌

[@ditherdraws4463]

you're one of my inspiration Kasey! I love your drawings, I've been practicing alot and building my own channel as well!

[@WaffleTheBurnt]

HEY I HAVENT WATCHED THE VIDEO YET SO IM GONNA SAY HI! HI!

[@artbylynn3938]

Oh no, I missed this Scrawlr box for my own channel. :( This is so cool! I love the transition between the two mirror images AND being able to see the bottom mirror image through the top, makes it kind of look like he's looking through a window into the alternate reality, and the human Hatch is looking back at him, but the glass still reflects normal Hatch. Looks really great!

[@artbylynn3938]

I've watched that already, and I think both are equally good, but in vastly different styles. :D

[@Pl4n3tVenus]

Hatch is a girl??

[@ticcitoasty]

Taylor's Daily Mistakes he’s a guyyyy

[@ab_fxx9000]

I always try to change up my style, or the medium I'm using, to try to adapt myself to different techniques and have more experience with each medium or style. I understand it's hard to change to something that you're not used to, but I think it's fun to challenge yourself from time to time.

[@emilyoregan9041]

WHAM!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TakoKat]

using colored pencil i personally think its best drawing in the shape of the object or the lines? /like how it would be 3d/ to avoid weird textures..?? im not sure how to explain that

[@NiaLepre]

Your not supposed to do circles to make it “even” or have “less texture”😫 you just go in the direction your skin or fur is going. Throughout the layers you can just blend it out and add detail. Color pencils are rarely used alone usually people have a copic based layer and use the color pencils to just add details😶 im 11 but ive experienced with alot of supplies 🙃

[@kaitlinvergara3484]

Honestly I can’t pick which I like more: waffles or urs. Urs is more cartoony and waffles has a creepy and spooky vibe! Luv u♥️♥️♥️

HEEEYYYYY KASEY!!!!! You are my inspiration I always go to your videos when I feel stumped. As an upcoming artist I was feeling so lost but when I found your channel I was soooo inspired and started drawing a lot. I’m trying watercolor and would like to know which watercolor you use

[@greenlaimart3340]

Wow, that's a very cool concept for an illustration! Love it! ❤️

[@ferrieferret8241]

When you recently sighned up for Scrawlrbox and you almost just found out whats in this months box before even seeing it yourself, so now you have to wait to watch this video :'))

[@brittanymarquez7549]

Your quality videos make my day! I always look forward to them

[@sarahschultz7324]

I love colored pencil. I'n not one to color my sketches though. However if I do, for the most part it's with colored pencil. I also love water color but I've never been good with painting so I used the pencils. The way to get a smooth colored penciled texture is to color in circles. This way when viewing you can't tell which way you colored it. It cross hatches in every direction yk!

[@deceased_flxwer]

I absolutely LOVE how human hatch turned out great job!

[@kaylaglazz]

So many people have never heard of eraser pencils and colored mechanical pencils. But both are soooo awesome you wont look back.

[@ellespoonies]

i love how excited kasey gets when things look weird

[@nakaiyahtucker1423]

Nice video, the pencils are so cool I kind of want them now. And loved the drawing, hatch is so cute.

[@AnnaMae41194]

colored pencil texture depends on the paper. I have a sketchbook with the smoothest paper ever and there isn't any texture at all and that's the same across brands and quality of pencils. the color doesn't absorb into the paper as much and doesn't co down quite as bright or thick, but it's smooth as silk.

[@Ky-go4mx]

Omg i cant describe how great the feeling is when i see one of your notifs pop up! I get so hyped!! Love ya kasey!!❤️❤️❤️

[@naomi1523]

I have those pencils!! They work really well to get rid of those left over pencils marks the big earser never gets rid of. I love them

[@maryl.5984]

There are solvents you can use to make colored pencils have a smooth texture, too. You apply with a brush, so it's almost like using watercolor.

[@Berberbug]

I really love the way this one came out I think human hatch is really cute!

[@miledith555]

Lots of people are saying to use circular motion with pencils, but I would like to say that I don't think they need to be circles as long as you don't go crazy with broad motions. I personally find it easier to keep an equal amount of pressure when going back and forth in one direction, but doing so in small motions. I also find it easier to fill in bigger areas like this, as going in circles on big surfaces results in my case in uneven pressure and leaving darker marks here and there. I only use circles on really small surfaces. And to anyone thinking that going in one direction might leave strokes, it never did for me.

[@jaydyboo]

I've had that eraser for a while now and it's be far my favourite.

[@Claragonza3]

I do watercolors and colored pencils You can really get a smooth coloring with just layering and not working on stripes, pushing harder. I personally prefeer color pencils because that smooth surface, you can try to get better at it and who knows, you might like em! Btw, you'd like soft color pencils better because they are easier to layer and you don't need to push that hard to get a smooth surface.

[@gabe5436]

i just came from another one of your videos- *also it was adorable how exited you were about the eraser*

[@adiegrass1616]

I think Drawing Wiff Waffles got this one too! It's cool to see your guys' interpretation of the same prompt!

[@latithelatte]

omg this mirror effect is so gorgeous!!

[@teresahenneberg2950]

As a bit of advice, when using colored pencil, use it in one direction. (Left and right, or up and down, etc.) Try to avoid doing little circles and curvy lines. You can do some curved lines in the same direction of long shapes. This will give a smoother, less messy texture for the colored pencil art. Hope this works for you if you wanna try ^-^

[@ashtonlathery220]

getting a smooth color with colored pencils is hard but theres a thing called burnishing where you press down very hard. this creates a flat color. however, burnishing is usually makes the color appear very dark so to get a flat color without this you would lay down the color pencil a little darker then you would like then go over it with a white colored pencil which lightens it and also smooths and blends it out, creating a flat color

[@user-uc6hl6pr1j]

[@fennhuang5973]

You got so excited over an eraser...Kasey you are adorable!

[@aprilrainsfineart3250]

I love this twisted reality idea with the tracing paper revealing something different. It's so fun to have a movable element... not something you really get to do with regular art. I'm dying to try this but aahhh too many projects, help

[@Kyomiibrown]

Casey, it’s very easy to take away the texture of colour pencils, simply use a little OMS (odourless mineral spirits.) such as Sansador or zest it for example. Dampen a synthetic taklon brush, dab the brush on some tissue paper to remove the excess, then blend the colour pencil.

[@LorenDraws]

With colour pencil I Find the best way to get a flat colour is to make stroke horizontal landscape and then diagonal both ways and do it in small sections at a time

[@chemicores]

the eraser pencil is genius actually bc when youre doing hyper realism sometimes you need to erase very small details. i always used a kneaded eraser w a sharpened tip but that pencil would be so helpful

[@squidcanseco2167]

The art in my opinion came out so nice, keep up the good work 👌
