- Hello friends!
I got my new Derwent Procolours and I couldn't wait to film a video for you guys. This is just an unboxing and a live swatching, so you can get an idea of what kinds of colors you will get with this set.
I will do a full review later on, when I've had a chance to play around with these pencils. I will also do a mini-series with these pencils where I test them out in different books and do a full page with them (and only them for everything!).
I got my pencils at www.runforcover.dk. Amazing site for Derwent pencils, if you live in Denmark!
Make sure to watch the video in HD to get the best experience.
If you have any questions or suggestions please leave a comment. I'll do my best to give you a good answer and always write down all suggestions!
Remember to always tag me (on Instagram, @Alwayscoloring) or share the link to the video, if you're coloring along from my tutorials or livestreams and share your work online.

I'm coloring live on Instagram as often as possible. My Instagram followers have been begging me to post my livestreams on youtube, so that's what I'll do.
You can see my livestreams and everything I'm coloring on my Instagram account.

I think Derwent pencils generally do better on toothy paper, while prismas work well on medium to smooth paper. My most versatile pencils are the Polys - any paper will do for those!
I don't think I'll agree. The Inktense, the Drawing and the Coloursofts aren't really amazing on too toothy paper for me. But the Artists only work on really toothy paper. I think these will be okay on most papers, but really shine on toothy paper. The Prismas I think works on all kinds of paper. They're easier than most pencils to use on smooth paper, but they really shine on toothy paper if you have the patience to work with them :) The Polychromos are better on toothy paper in my opinion, but they work great on smooth paper as well. You just have to be careful on the smooth paper, because it's not as forgiving.
That's a great video ! The images is clear , I can clearly the pencils and the pros and cons on each individual pencils . Thanks for your work .
bleuvertetforetdepin Thank you for your feedback. I'm happy you liked the video ☺️
I did like the fact you tell whenn a pencil is scratchy or soft. It is useful for people who have arthritis but love coloring. That's a very nice video
Thank you very much for this video !
I ve been looking for a swatches everywhere !! I can t find it :(
So... here I have shown beautifully !! Thank you :*
500 Krone was a good price. I'm finding a conversion of approximately 81.00 in US dollars. The lowest I can find them in the US is about $111. Very good deal!
Annette Sonneson Yes! 500 DKK is a very good price. It's the standard price for all the big Derwent sets on the site I linked too. That's where I bought all my 72-sets.. I only need their Watercolour pencils now 😂 pretty sure they'll end up in my collection as well one day
Loved that color pack. Where have you bought it??? The green once.. O M G!!! 😀😀
Cecilia Grip try to take a look at the description 😉😉
Ooh, I love those pinks and violets!
Cully Howard Yes they're sooo amazing! 💜
I have these - but have not used them yet - but did swatch them out. I am anxious to see how you like them. Thanks for sharing - as always!
Kathy Bradley have fun with them! I'm starting a page where I'm only using the for everything very soon! And I'll livestream it all, so you can get a geniuine feel of how they are ☺️☺️
I have used these pencils on a couple of pictures, the muted colours are gorgeous. 😊
Tassie Tina I agree! I love muted colors 😍
Love this video! It's nice to see the swatches properly❤
Annika P Thank you! Really happy you liked it 💜
Yeah you got them. Can’t wait for you to colour with them. I can’t wait to do a colour along 💜
Sketchcantation Art Yes I did 😍 I'm sure I could host another coloralong soon. Any book preferences? ☺️
AlwaysColoring I’m not sure just hope that it’s one I have so I can join in 😂 I’m colourbookaddict on instagram just so you know it’s me 💜
Oh hi! It's impossible to keep track of everybody :) I'm thinking that the next color along might be color themed or subject themed - not book themed :)
AlwaysColoring yes I imagine it would be as you have so many followers 😆 That’s a great idea and I can’t wait 💜
The colours are really beautiful when you see them all together like this. Now I’m looking forward to see how they perform on different paper in your colouring books. What do you plan to colour first?
Janet Danes I love the colors as well! 😍 I will be trying them on a page in a book with smooth paper and a page in a book with more toothy paper. All will be live and real time and posted here on youtube of course 😉
I have bought several open stock of these and I love them! I can't wait to see you color with them! Thank you for this video. Your swatching helped me decided which colors I'm going to buy next! :)
Maybe you got lucky and bought some of the good pencils, because there are severel not so good (maybe even crabby?) pencils in this set unfortunately. I hope I can make them work alright though :)
That's why buying open stock pencils is so great. I could pick the ones that seemed to work well at your swatching. :) Can't wait for you to test them in a picture.
Love the colors 😍😍 Hope I can buy this one
Katherin July the colors are great! It seems like the site I've linked to does this internationally - or at least to Europe ☺️
This was very, very useful. The colours could be clearly seen, and your commentary was really helpful.
Wow, love the colors, interested in hearing your views on them when you color a page with them. Here in Canada, on Amazon right now, these are $180.00 normally $255.00. So want more feedback before I choose to spend that kind of money, lol. Tfs 😊❤️
I love the colors too! I will start coloring page soon, but I have a few projects to start and finish first :) I wouldn't even recommend you buy some individuals and try out as this set of pencils isn't consistent at all. The pencils work so differently!
FINE, NOT BAD
I have one open stock and was wondering about the rest. The colors are beautiful. I'm concerned about the scratchiness, however. They sound very dry when you are swatching them.
Annette Sonneson the scratchyness concern me too! But I hope it'll get better with use. I'll tru anyway 😂 and some were very dry indeed!
Oooolala can't wait to see what you do with these but honestly how do they rate against the poly's?? There a couple of colours that I would really love I hope you can buy open stock of these I might check it out!! Mars violet being the first one I want 😊 thank you for sharing 💕 Tanya
Dan Schmith I can't wait to find out either! So far the polys are still my favorite 😜 and don't but the Procolour Mars Violet, promise me!!! The Derwent Drawing range has the exact same color but the pencil is a thousand times better 💜
AlwaysColoring oh I have the drawing pencils forgot that colour was in there thanks for reminding me!!!! 😜 so many pencils I forget what I have!!! But you can never have enough art supplies am I right?? 😘
Dan Schmith Hahahah! Yes! You can never have too much 😂😂
I would like to know how you plan the space for your coloringchart 😊
Petra Johansson Vertically I plan out 1 cm pr. line and I want 2 swatches on each of those lines, so I make a line down the center as well. Them I just take the with of my ruler and make a line down each section to make space for the color and the name. Should I make a video? ☺️
AlwaysColoring I think I understand, But it would be nice If you did make a video! Perhaps there is more people then I, that wants to know ☺️
Damn these are cheaper in Denmark than the U.K., what website did you get them from?
Coloring Frances yea it a pretty amazing price 😉 link is in the description
Did you already do the review after you colored with them a while? What paper do you think is best for them?
Creative Jessy I haven’t done a review of these pencils and I haven’t used them any more than you see in this video. I will start a “Procolours Challenge” like I did with the Crayolas soon though.
Hi. Thanks so much for this video. I have the full set of polychromos and prismacolor. I want to try procolours but I can only 10-15 pencils. I want to buy shades which are not available in other sets. Can you recommend the shades in procolours hich are unique? It would be very helpful.
Hey :D I'm sure you'll be the best to do what you're asking of me. Just take a look at the pencils you already own while looking at the Procolour swatches. Then pick out the colors you feel like you're missing. We all have different taste in colors :)
Is 36 set colour range is good for beginners? Can I blend them smoothely?
what sharpener do you use? :) i cant seem to find one I like haha! Also got the procolours for christmas, havent gotten around to trying them yet tho! Great video x
Amanda It's a cheap M+R one I'm using at the moment. But my most used is a KUM 4-in-1 😍 and Thank you!
Kum sharpener is life !
It's alright, but my life wouldn't be worse without it ;)
Et dejligt review! -og hvem kan modstå en swatch video! Du har faktisk bekræftet mig i at jeg gør det rigtige når jeg går ned i Art de Vos og lægger 500 for et sæt i morgen! Glæder mig til at se flere af dine videoer. :)
Благодаря,точно такъв обзор ми беше нужен!:-):-):-)
Sorry.. I don't understand.

Well.. I don't think it's lucky at all. I had to go to work to earn the money I paid for these pencils like most people do ;)
Its not what I meant...I do as well work for a living =) is just that I cant afford those at the moment....long story short.....I should have said....Im not so lucky =(
Ahhh I get it now ;) I thought that you thought I got these for free.

I have the Derwent Studios and I find these pencils so bad. Thats why I don‘t like this Brand 😀🙈
Lea Sofie I haven't tried the Studios. But are you trashing a whole brand, because you don't like their student pencils? 😂
Lea Sofie, I have read there is a big difference between the Derwent Studio if they are made in China, and not the UK. There is a difference between the picture on the lid to show which set you have. I bought the set made in China and find them very lightly pigmented with hard lead. Some pencils are very scratchy but not all. I did think they improved when sharpened and used, so wonder if there is a protective coating on the tip which needs to be worn off before they work better. I gave up using them after colouring one page in Dagdrommar but I did like the way that picture turned out. I’d suggest they have a place in my pencil collection, but are definitely not my favourites. FC are my favourites as they are so smooth to use and have beautiful colours.
Lea Sofie The studio set is not the best for colouring. They're hard and meant to hold a sharp point for those who sketch, draw and create their own art. Coloursoft is much better as they're softer, more for coloring. I love the Inktense pencils as well. Peta says these pencils are somewhere in between the Polychromos and coloursoft sets and I trust her judgement (esp since the polys are my favorite as well).
Shilpa J Very true! But I believe she says there in between the Coloursoft and Artists and slightly softer than the Polychromos 😉 don't really agree about the softness yet though. But we'll see once I start using them 😂
AlwaysColoring Oops! Yes, I meant the Artists and Coloursoft sets. The thing is I really love the color range of Derwent - esp their purples and greens. So if the Procolour pencils are good, I'd like to get them someday... The Artists are too hard for me (have the 120 set and it's good on certain paper) and the coloursoft are too soft (I prefer Polychromos to prismacolor).
Sorry to say but the music was very irritating, it would have been better if it wasn't so repetitive couldn't watch to end
