    11:37 As a Brazilian I had the impression that it would be mentioned lol but by Brazilwood (Paubrasilia echinata) for its red color. Yes, it is a threat of extinction so another alternative was brought up. Wonderful project!

    I was super excited to find out more, but then I realized I don't give a fvck. And really, if we were part of a sane society. Most other people wouldn't either. But alas, 14m views for... I'm not even sure how to describe it. Who TF cares, it's just a LEGO stapler. It literally has no baring on anything that has ever existed, exists or will exist, times 1 bilion less and multiplying that by 2,3x quantum leaps into oblivion.

  • @JorgeL721
    @JorgeL721 Před 2 dny

    It would be great to add fragrance to the crayons. A minty herbal scent to some of the greener colors. A tea scent to the browner colors. Floral for the lighter...etc

  • @naheenzaman1112
    @naheenzaman1112 Před 2 dny

    It's really cool, and I'm probably going to buy a set for myself, but the particle size of the pigment is too large. Which leads to very little color actually working into the paper.

    Thoise things have so little pigment they leave translucent skids reminiscent of shit stains,

  • @KonradZielinski
    @KonradZielinski Před 3 dny

    just one problem, your sample drawings make it clear that wood dust makes for a crap pigment. what you have is a novelty product. In the range of hues you can get from wood, traditional clay based pigments appear to be better in every way.

  • @nathangamble125
    @nathangamble125 Před 3 dny

    This is a fun concept, but won't have much impact on overall wood usage. Demand for crayons isn't that high.

    WHAT In their last video (reinventing the humble deck of cards) T 3:05 when they talk about what you could use to draw on the cards the example they use for crayons is the cedar crayon from this video. That video was released a year ago. How long are these videos in production for?!

    an idea: the ability of a make-your-own-crayon kit with many types of wood dusts that people can mix together and play and/or fool around with, and then using the original prism shaped crayons, we could make this something fun!

  • @Jolly_Jelly_
    @Jolly_Jelly_ Před 5 dny

    This is already 4 months old but i feel like you never actually went from "art piece" to "product", even the final iteration remains unusable for any realistic application because the pigment has almost no opacity and would rather come off in chunks than stick to the paper. You've answered to multiple comments arguing the same thing : that they "aren't what we've come to be used to", and while this would perhaps be true if your audience was 7 year olds, it's not so for the part that is composed of actual artists, the problem isn't the color of the crayons themselves, they're perfectly fine, they just aren't fit for being used as crayons, because they have no coverage, which isn't the same as having a natural color, something you'd acknowledge if you weren't deadset on being disingenuous and selling the luxury crayons as a product. They are closer to conceptual art piece than a tool, and you do not need to lie about it
