I must admit to chuckling a bit when it was yet another marker box but I do like the fact you always give it a proper go even when they are supplies you don't enjoy. I'm always happy to see more of the mecha animals!

[@TheColourCave]

I do try to stay as neutral as possible (I think 'neutral' may be too strong a word!) otherwise it's pretty pointless doing a review! I think I'd like a rest from markers for a bit now though!

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Gem, I believe you do a lovely job with the markers! I have found that lately I am doing better with comic coloring. I did inking way back when and I have dozens of plates and I just copy them to marker paper and spend time coloring them in. I do enjoy your mecha-animals! I missed the last couple of live streams, I just have been tired and simply turn off the alarm and go back to sleep! I do appreciate all of your efforts and encourage you to keep going and enjoying too!

Wth... I actually thought I had clicked an old video by mistake. This is basically the same box as we had in Scrawlrbox -- same markers (set), a black permanent marker, pattern-based featured art(ist). Why are these boxes so flipping similar ?! This box was already underwhelming a year ago as a Scrawlrbox.

I always enjoy your reviews. I don't get along with markers so well but use them once in a while. You always come up with something great no matter the medium!

I don't have a drink on the same desk when I'm painting - put my brush in the wrong container too many times - thankfully never tried to drink the paint water though.

Awww that is a cute addition to the collection and needs to be a sticker. Yeah this particular upcrate does not excite me! Upcrate has always been Marker heavy and this one feels like they are just calling it in

Currently on holiday in Edinburgh on a little holiday. I've been having fun but I just turned on you tube to try and drown out the building work going on in the room below me. That yours was the first video on my subs page to help keep me immersed in Scottish fun made me smile. I always think you're very fair with marker reviews given you dislike them. Some people aren't very good at overcoming their preferences. I'm pretty sure I've had this exact set from scrawlrbox and seen it from other boxes over the years so yes, rather underwhelming for those of us with a larger amount of supplies. Excellent comments on the stats of 'permanent' water based ink. Calling that black permanent is pretty much laughable

[@TheColourCave]

Hope you are enjoying Edinburgh, waving from 'out east'! 😊

[@Thia-saurus]

I mean, did we have markers already in all kinds of color and variety? Yes, we did. BUT we ended up with a potential new sticker, so I can't be too mad at the box 😂 Seriously though, like you said, there are only so many art supplies to put in those boxes. I'm glad I quit my upcrate nevertheless. Thanks for keeping us up to date 😄

I think these pens are the same ones we used for the ScrawlrBox #Kaleidoscope challenge last year.

[@oxheysarah]

Ahha thankyou of course 😂 them sort of water brushes screw off back to front 😏😂 I've been trying to work that out for months with some artful brushes I got in a random lucky dip purchase 🌞🙌

[@angelashortall9778]

What’s a lucky dip purchase? Sounds exciting.

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

Water brushes definitely have their place, but I'm starting to feel like they've become a bit of a subscription box 'filler'. Also, I agree with you on the 'waterproof' claims. 😊

[@blackrose538]

I think we got a similar set of these in a ScrawlrBox recently? I'm not a huge fan of these, though. Not my cup of tea.
