Let's Talk: Episode 1 ~ Staedtler Ergosoft

[@solvejsjgreen2778]

Dear Emily, thank you SO SO MUCH for this tutorial. I'm a newcomer to adult coluring, and you have taught me a lot with this and pushed me in the right direction when it comes to blending, shading and colour combos. PLEASE make a lot more of these tutorials and thanks for not speedcolouring. I'm SO grateful, and I send you a big hug.

[@chaostocalm2024]

I can't believe I am just now finding your channel. I am loving the content. :)

[@EmilyIllustrator]

Thank you, and welcome! 🥰😘

[@carolberres5528]

Ergosoft are my favorite small set of pencils, you have taught me how to use them well. When I page through my coloring books and see the pictures that I colored with you using these, I’m amazed at the beautiful shades made with 36 pencils.

[@EmilyIllustrator]

I'm so glad! They create a beautiful color palette!

[@hazimmusa2448]

Love the fact that Staedtler color coded following with no 0: White, 1: Yellow, 2: Red, 3: Blue, 4: Orange, 5:Green, 6: Violet/ purple, 7: Earth tone, 8: Greys & 9: Black. I never use the Ergosoft line (not locally available) but I love their Karat (advance) and Luna (beginner) line. Thanks for the review and demonstration!

[@shelleyburleson909]

Thank you for a great video.

I really loved this, I can't wait to see more ! Emily in teacher mode is brilliant thanks !

[@EmilyIllustrator]

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😄

[@nanschifris8734]

I was so excited when you announced this new series was coming! This first episode didn’t disappoint! Thank you so much for your thorough information. It really helps me get to know my pencils better. I LOVE Staedtler products - discovered them in college 40 years ago.

[@EmilyIllustrator]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I've been having so much fun putting these together!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Love that you shared some combos. I am bummed they aren't extending. Argh. There's so much potential if they add a few more. Thank you for sharing!

[@EmilyIllustrator]

Same! I would love if they added a couple more colors.

[@BarbBColorReader]

I am content with 36, but wish for at least a 72

[@EmilyIllustrator]

@@BarbBColorReader Me too! 😊

[@kimbernard8409]

Love this series idea! Really enjoyed the history portion. Definitely makes your videos stand out from the pack! Looking forward to more videos in this series.

[@MiaPracticingRelaxing]

As these are originally made for children the "name" gears towards the name of the child who owns the pencil. In a classroom this could be crucial :)

[@kahnaemery7767]

Your answer makes sense! The manufacturer had the right idea to have a space to put the child's name on the pencil.

[@angelajclarkson]

Thanks Emily. Great video. Loved the combinations.

[@EmilyIllustrator]

Thank you!

[@katiemogg7266]

I am new to colouring and just bought the 24 set although I wish I'd got the 36! Love the combos they are so helpful

[@wendys8595]

Great video. I particularly loved the discussion of color combos. Thank you!

[@EmilyIllustrator]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it!

[@reneekennedy38]

You are the BEST teacher!

[@suzydanlen]

Am loving this video, thank you so much. The name place is blank so that we can write our names in there - that's what I think it's for. These pencils are used a lot in schools here in SA - south Africa and I used to write my kids names on each pencil.

[@janettedelbarre913]

Just re watched this video....am off to find my ergosofts!

[@beverleysharp7397]

You are the queen of ergosoft ,, you make them work like magic xx😘

[@EmilyIllustrator]

Aw, thank you!

[@MistressJakki]

[@kahnaemery7767]

Great video, Emily! I always learn so much with you, so thank you!!! And I love the special guest at the end too ❤️

[@EmilyIllustrator]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@terrisimmers9784]

The place what you think was the name of the pencil should be it is for the name of the student to whom they belong to.

[@melissascoloringandmulti-taski]

I have the 36 set ordered. Thank you for sharing those combinations, I really appreciate this. I will be following your videos. I'm your new subscriber.

Awesome video, so helpful! Thanks so much! 💜

[@EmilyIllustrator]

You're welcome!

[@angelatodd6037]

Hi Emily, although I don’t have ergosoft, I really love what you have put together with this video. I’m hoping you will be doing something similar with castle arts, arteza and polychromos. 🤞When I followed your JB elephant tutorial I wrote down the colour combinations for future reference 😊 Thank you for sharing and helping those of us starting out on this colouring journey 💐💞

[@EmilyIllustrator]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And yes! The plan is to thoroughly go over every set of pencils, pens, markers, and paints I have! So, all three of those will get their own episodes!

[@wenscarlet9002]

Congrats for this new series!!! Don’t get me wrong the video content was great but the best part was Paul 😻

[@EmilyIllustrator]

He’s quite the character! 😅

[@peggygoshey7106]

I just love my steadtler coloured pencils I have a different tin as yours though mine have running shoes as the picture on the tin I am going to my walmart store to buy the 72 piece set the one I'm using is a 36 piece set

[@lisa28100]

What is the difference between ergo soft and design journey pencils please?

[@anneilsley6155]

I was wondering the same thing which one is the best

[@Homeschooling6]

Do you have a link for the pencil roll/case?

[@EmilyIllustrator]

It’s from A Hum for Hope on Etsy. She still sells a couple pencil rolls, but usually only one or two listed. They’re so good though!

[@katiemogg7266]

Would the staedtler white or a blender pencil work similar to the prisma white?

[@EmilyIllustrator]

Honestly, I rarely use the Staedtler white. If you used a Caran D'Ache blender, it should work well. More than anything it would brighten up the vibrance on your colors a bit. If you're going for a slightly lighter pastel look, I would go with the Prisma white.

[@katiemogg7266]

@@EmilyIllustrator okay thank you that's really helpful!

[@EmilyIllustrator]

@@katiemogg7266 Anytime!

[@mariemtahdrawi]

I have 72 pencil color staedlter 146c

[@Jo-yt8vp]

Have you seen the few neon colours that they do? I got them from Cult pens

[@EmilyIllustrator]

I haven't yet! I've had a couple people mention them to me. Are they much different than the colors we already have?

[@Jo-yt8vp]

They are very different yeah. Very bright neon, there's 6 in total. Although I haven't used them yet because I don't really know what to do with the neons, just had to have them 🤣

[@Jo-yt8vp]

I have tried blending them with existing colours and some of them work quite well 😊

[@michelles_box_of_hues675]

I did not see a link to the color names list. Can you provide that or direct me to the list?

[@EmilyIllustrator]

You are so right! I forgot to add that to the description! I've added the link now, to the product page, and the colors are listed there. However, I'll add the link to this comment as well! www.staedtler.com/intl/en/products/products-for-colouring/coloured-pencils/ergosoft-157-coloured-pencil-157-m36/

[@michelles_box_of_hues675]

@@EmilyIllustrator thank you so much!! I am digging the website. I hope I can find the 50 set of Triplus Fineliners somewhere. And I have a color name chart now. Perfect!

[@daianalebron2037]

Si pudieras poner subtitulado español

[@annavanderwal6408]

I thought the space on the pencil saying 'name' was for u to write your own name. Faber Castle used to do this as well for the basic pencils aimed at school children. That's what I thought anyway 🙂 I could be wrong. I like these pencils they are soft. Unfortunately I gave them to my friend who won't give them back....can't say I blame her .

[@EmilyIllustrator]

It’s very possible! Someone else mentioned that as well. It could probably work for both!

[@terrisimmers9784]

I will not buy them till they make a bigger set of them. .

[@EmilyIllustrator]

Hopefully, they will some day!

[@Shelleyweaver84]

I totally hate these pencils. I do like staedtler products but not these pencils at all.

[@EmilyIllustrator]

It's nice that Staedtler has such a wide range of products. Something for everyone!
