These are amazing! Playful and yet so versatile while offering top quality. #notsponsored Loved the idea of the small vases with flowers, this is more fun than just swatching squares 😊. Neocolor II are great to make underpaintings for soft pastels, among other things. Thanks for sharing this, your little paintings are beautiful!
That's a great idea with the soft pastels! I could see that working well. They really encourage play, and that's what I like best about them so far. Thanks you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 😊
I started out with the 30 set. Liked them so much I completed the full set. I have some maribu crayons; they’re not inexpensive, they are soft and remind me of a lipstick; I prefer neocolors.
Great review. I just got a set of Caran D’ache crayons and have drawn my first exercise, but haven’t wet it yet. I’ll be painting it after yoga. Thank you!
I have found that mixed media paper is the best for these because watercolor paper contains too much tooth and it’s more difficult to get a smooth layer.
P.S. Lyra has a set ox water soluble wax crayons as well. I still prefer Caran d'Ache, because they blund and dissolve so well. Lyras have a lower price point and are very good quality. They are available only in sets and not open stock, which is a deal breaker for me.
Some time ago I was able to obtain a large used set of Neocolor 2's. But it's almost too many, making it hard to choose some for a picture. So I'm going to gather these colors to make up this pastel group. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and using them to make some little works for us! Btw, I love your nail polish. May I ask what's the color? 😊
@@warmyellowshade Oh my goodness, thank you! Btw, today I was able to gather a pastel set with a few substitutions that make it comparable to the one in your video. Thanks again and I hope you have a lovely visit with your family. ❤
People say they feel like drawing with the core of color pencil. It’s just doesn’t have the wood shell and these are a bit more waxy. That kinda turn me off. I was thinking it is opaque and thick like oil pastel and thought about getting one. Does it feel like drawing with color pencil?
No, I would say it's more like drawing with a pastel. It is a bit more slippery? I'm looking for the right word. Waxy, I guess! 😁 They are quite opaque and I have seen many mixed media artists use them to add finishing touches. I would check Kate Moody's channel for examples. I hope that helps! 💛
Other than a slight better pigment Quality than maribu art crayons. I don't see the big deal with these. I mean for the price! What exactly can you really do with them? Besides mark making. They just seem pointless.
Maribu Art Crayons, thanks I will look into those! I agree that they are definitely not for everyone. But if you are used to working pastels, I think you can achieve quite a bit. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@warmyellowshade The marubu art crayons are bigger and softer. Kinda remind me of the texture of lipstick. I like these a bit better because they're smaller and harder. That being said, definitely check out the marubu if you get the chance.

Great video
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊💛
more with these neo 2's please
Okie dokes! 😊👍
I love neo l’s. Your painting came out beautiful ❤
They're fun aren't they! Thanks a bunch, it was very different for me. 😊

I do admit having more colours is tempting! 🤭 Wow, like a lipstick, that's really soft! Thanks for letting us know about the Maribu Crayons. 💛
Love this! I am new to Neocolor IIs, and I am in love with them, but I learned a lot from your video.
Glad to hear it was helpful! 😊 I am really enjoying them too!
Lovely video. Really trying thing out and sharing things you heard. And cute drawings. I’m inspired
Thank you and I'm glad! I hope you put that inspiration to work. 😉 They are definitely a fun medium to play with! 😊💛
I’ve seen some direct comparisons between these and the mungyo artist grade that were favorable.
Thanks for sharing! ☺️
Great review. I just got a set of Caran D’ache crayons and have drawn my first exercise, but haven’t wet it yet. I’ll be painting it after yoga. Thank you!
You are very welcome Josee! Have fun with the wet techniques! 😊

Thanks for the tip! 😉👍
Great video and's great music. Thank you😊
Glad you enjoyed! 💛😊

I can see why, picking your own colors is usually best. But thanks for the tip about the Lyra crayons!
Simple and amazing…..😇😇😇😇

So happy to hear that you found it helpful! I'm visiting my parents right now, so I'll have to get back to you about the nail polish! 😅

great tutorial but the music in the background is really distracting and doesn't add to the content.
Glad you liked it! I may re-upload another version in the future without the background music. Thanks for watching! 💛

You can add them as an acdents on the top level of watercolor ❤love to add the texture on watercolor paper with these crayons
Probably would have been great but can’t hear you with the music
I am considering uploading a no music version in the future. 💛
