You Won't Believe What These Budget Gel Crayons Can Do | US Art Supply Super Crayons

[@sharonfeatherstone8219]

You weren’t kidding on how budget friendly these are! Thank you for taking the time to give this review.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Right? They are quite cheap ha

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Sorry ya'll. I have allergies this time of year so there will be some sniffles. Can't control the pollen :(

[@thejamaicanhippie84]

Do not apologize for that Kori... if they can handle a little sniffle then scram!

[@wendys8595]

You don’t owe anyone an explanation. I appreciate the video and your demo. People who feel the need to make petty comments are their own problem.

[@justdea5757]

No worries!

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

No worries, I think a lot of us do. I appreciate your videos very much😊

[@PlantyLadySue]

Thanks for the review of these, they look like fun to use! And don’t worry about the allergies. I’ve heard so many people with Covid on their videos in the last few years it’s just kinda normal to hear sniffles or coughing now. Don’t stress about the few haters, you’re doing great!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Awe well thank you. I always feel bad when I sniffle -- I can't control it lol

[@valerieb8006]

These gel crayons would serve my purposes very nicely! Thanks so much Kori for showing them. I have Kingarts but I would not hesitate to buy these for my coloring! Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day to you!!🙋🐶💗

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Happy Mother's Day weekend to you! Yes, KingArts are great too -- I have those. I ended up just trying these because they were nice and cheap and thought oh, these aren't bad.

[@samhugh4965]

Could you please explain a little more about the “pink” soap for the brushes? I have no idea what it is. Thanks!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

amzn.to/42Ae4UY -- it is a cleaner/conditioner I use on my artists brushes for watercolor, but I also use to clean off these inking brushes. It doesn't leave behind any residue.

[@thecoloursofthemage]

They are so underrated! I love my sets of gel crayons ❤❤

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

I was pleasantly surprised!

[@ArtandDiamondsWithEskies]

Thank you so much. I bought a small set of the Kingart at Walmart a while back and I have been afraid to use them because I don't know how long they take to set up and dry. It's difficult for me to let things set up overnight because there is puppy hair all over my house 😂. I'm Very excited to see your comparison. As always you bring us as much information as possible and I'm very grateful that you do.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

KingArt are good too. Usually overnight is best but most dry in a few hours

[@herbcroneart]

I have a set of these sort of gel crayons. I think I am going to revisit them. Thanks for this video, very cool!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

You def should! I was really surprised at the results for these ones.

[@inkqueen99]

I love kids gel crayons, my first ones were the Fabre-castell. I have purchased others since. I bought a large mandala coloring book to use them frequently. It’s pure joy!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Yeah it's amazing how many kiddo art supplies are just fine for us adults too.

[@dawnmanor1960]

After I watched your video I had to check the pricing out-man your video came at a perfect time because these babies are only $16.99 at the moment. What a deal! You sold me on your fabulous coloring page this morning-beautiful!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Yeah they are incredibly cheap for what you get and they aren't bad at all!

[@adb0105]

Just thrifted these for $2. Wasnt sure if they were good for anything or if they would go the kiddos. Very excited to see your opinion of them!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Oh nice that's a steal then

[@diannhulen710]

Thanks for showing

[@Emmawilliams83]

These look amazing for the price they are such pretty colours too I love the look of them .. might have to purchase these tysmfs kori 🥰

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

They were definitely a surprise for how cheap they are.

[@Emmawilliams83]

@@ColorfullyOptimistic they do look great I’ve just ordered some after your upload tysmfs 🥰

[@SherriC88]

My super crayons are now on their way! They look like a great option for backgrounds. Thanks for the video

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Oh hope you enjoy! They were a pleasant surprise for sure.

[@SherriC88]

@ColorfullyOptimistic they will be here Wednesday I can't wait..even in Canada not a bad deal..I think only $22.00

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

@Sherri C oh wow that's a good price for Canada for sure!

[@SherriC88]

@ColorfullyOptimistic oh my gosh Kori! These really are fun to play with ...I just did a little 3 purple blend to play its beautiful...thank you for sharing this review...if anyone is on the fence buy them!!!! Lol can't wait to try a sunset background

[@lauramaynard4946]

They look fab! 💗💜💗

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

They definitely are!

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

Beautiful colors! 💜

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

I agree!

[@tinniaphillips4059]

Hi !! Are these easier to use for backgrounds than say distressed inks? They look like would spread better. Thanks for the video and the work you put into them. P.S. your sniffling doesnt bother me in the least. 😊

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

LOL thank you, about the sniffling, I appreciate it. I've become incredibly self-conscious about it now. I still use Distress Inks, but it really just depends. I do like the way these fill the gaps easier and they are friendlier if you accidentally put too much pressure while Distress Inks leave you a big ink blob lol

[@diannhulen710]

Pretty colors ,

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

I agree!

[@kellyj.8548]

I was wondering about the pink soap you use. I will begetting to gel crayons shortly. Thanks!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

It is a brush cleaner, which is right here: amzn.to/42Ae4UY -- it doesn't leave any film or residue, which is important.

[@tiffanybrantley2271]

Thanks for sharing! Need to pull my gel crayons out. Will you share the illustrators of the two pages you already completed? I can also patiently wait for your completed pages video too :)

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Oh...one was Lana Green and the other Mariola Budek

[@vilvile]

Great video. I bought open stock two of the kuretake pastas and didn’t enjoy them. Though I love kuretake as a brand, I thought that product was a ripoff and didn’t perform too well. On the gelatto side, it reminds me of an anecdote that Lindsay the Frugral Crafter told, which is she compared the performance of the Faber Castell kids line to be the same as Gelattos (albeit more limited color range), and then Faber Castell pretty much never worked with her again.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Haha how funny is that? I didn't know that one. I knew they didn't work with her, but didn't know that was one of the reasons.

[@breiannaross4583]

I loved this background! Where can I find the brush that you used in this video? What is it called?

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

They are inking brushes. amzn.to/3qrGRwG That's an example. My set is no longer for sale.

[@breiannaross4583]

@@ColorfullyOptimistic thanks!

[@PlantyLadySue]

Dollar Tree has some too.

[@kyliestine6154]

What kind of paper are you smearing the crayons onto in the beginning? Thank you!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Not paper. It is the caran dache palette

[@kyliestine6154]

Thank you ❤

[@TheCasey0811]

Thanks for the great review! Are these comparable to Neocolor II or gelatos? I don’t know the difference in them. I have mad allergies this time of year that cause me to constantly clear my throat, so I get it lol. Love your channel!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

These are gel crayons so they would be more like gelatos 😊

[@poetspicecolorwrite]

These seem fun. I’m my cart?- maybe😂

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Haha!

[@desireebryant3658]

What is your "pink" soap?

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

It is a brush cleaner and conditioner -- great for watercolor brushes, but also any inking brush: amzn.to/42Ae4UY

[@chevgage6210]

Thats way too many yellows though for a set of 36. At least 2 or 3 of those could be subbed for other colours. Especially since some of the later colours are so orange. Some of the blues too, and that identical lime green. More browns/beiges would be welcome, especially cool toned ones. Purples as well, or even cool toned greys.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Yeah, I mean, for a budget set, it is expected they would have a lot of yellow tbh. Yellow is one of the easiest and cheapest to create.

[@chevgage6210]

@ColorfullyOptimistic I know I'm just always bummed by it because it's also the color most likely to look exactly the same and you only ever need like... maybe two

[@sueallen952]

I enjoy your vids but have noticed in everyone I've watched you sniff constantly, don't know if it's a nervous thing or allergies but I'm sorry to say its a bit off putting

[@debaccetta3982]

Well that’s a little petty…guess I’m more focused on what kori is taking her time to show us! Can we all just be nicer humans?

[@janascallan87]

Well, that’s the good thing about KZbin. You can always find another channel to watch instead of making unnecessary comments.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

I spend a lot of my time and energy creating these videos. I feel like sometimes these comments are just out there to jab at whatever (if you spent hours of your life making FREE content for everyone to enjoy, would you like to see these comments?), but if it annoys you, please unsubscribe and go elsewhere. I can't control my allergies this time of year, and I'm sure you will find another content creator that does it 100% perfect and to your liking. There is no need to leave these types of comments on any creators channel.

[@thejamaicanhippie84]

So she can't have a human moment? Allergies? This is why I don't people alot. THIS IS WHY! Just petty and rude. Shoo fly!

[@wendys8595]

This comment was rude and unnecessary. Would you like someone to comment on your video this way?
