My favourite set. I kind of love that it's a small range, then I don't feel tempted to buy them all - however I could totally cope with another set of 12 or so new colours. (Big fan of the POP sound effect you use!)
@KatieMoody

Thanks so much Laura! 🤗 Yes that's very true, and I'd always prefer muted/natural colours compared to brights so this set works really well for me! I definitely think there are some gaps in the colours though, a few more blues and greens would be perfect!

Love the illustration, it looks so soft and beautiful with just the pencils 😊💖 This seems like a lovely set, beautiful colors. I feel like this would be a good addition to a basic set of pencils which often contain primary and vibrant colors. Many interesting shades I usually don’t see in other sets. Would definitely be interested in trying these pencils 😄 Love your tests, it’s so helpful seeing how the pencils work on top of different paints 👌🏼

My unsolicited two cents: I don't think it's worth getting the 24 set. A lot of the colors are very similar in tone and value. In retrospect I wish I'd just gotten the 12 set. Anyway, something to consider. But if you have them open stock, that's great - I've never seen them open stock where I live, just the sets.

Lightfast have a couple of epic dark purples that no one else has ever made, and a think called arctic white which I thought would be useless but I’m in love with. In the drawing pencils I find the mars violet particularly useful.

This was a really great video! It was highly informative _and_ a fun watch - so thank you for sharing your insight /tips. The Faber Castell Polychromos, Caran d'Ache Luminance and Derwent (various) sets are my mainstays, and I love each of them for their unique qualities, but have also run into a number of the same issues /qualities you demonstrate in this video. By chance, it seems we gravitate towards many of the same items and techniques, and I found that your swatch page rather eye-opening - although I do swatch tests as well, I have never thought to do more extensive ones, e.g. comparing performance between each on a single swatch page, not to mention with completely different mediums (i.e. the pencil on acrylic /acryla gouache /gouache panels) - but thanks to you, I will be able to expand the utility of future swatch tests exponentially!!

Since you also own the Derwent inktense colored pencils, how do these two compare to each other? Obviously inktense colored pencils are water soluble- but if one was to use it as a color pencil, not adding water , how would it compare to derwent colored pencils? I do have inktense color pencils, but not these color pencils in this video
@KatieMoody

The Inktense don't blend very well together compared to the Derwent drawing, the drawing ones feel much softer! I also find the Inktense create more of a scratchier/uneven texture when they're not used wet so for me I don't think they compare!

I use them alongside my mixed media so I do use quite a lot of pressure, but yes, I draw everyday! I find it's important to show the full swatches of colour, because you can see how much the colour changes when I do the soft and hard pressure test. As I said in the video, I rarely just use pencils which is why the drawing I did was a good test to build up layers.
