Lovely swatches. Particularly like the last row. Love the creaminess of the woody’s, I’ll be putting those on my wish list as they’re new to me.

I would like to see all of your greens 😍

The Faber Castell Black Edition has three turqouisy colors: one dark like a peacock turquoisegreen, one more like a colbalt sea blue from Roman Szmal and one sth. like ocean blue.
Sadly they are only available in a set. I bought the 36 set recently and I am happy with them. Especially when drawing on colored paper. I paid 18€ for this set. It's a good price...but I don't know if they are lightfast. Their homepage doesn't say anything about this.

Oh, also! I think you should do this with pinks! Thanks!

I love blues, greens, and blue-greens, so I just want to snatch these all up! Especially so since I only recently discovered that pencil crayons can be enjoyable to use!

I hated using pencil crayons for the longest time, but I recently got a small set of polychromos and they're so nice. Before those I've mostly only used Crayola ones, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that better quality ones are more fun to use ha.

I really want to try some of the more creamy ones next, but I don't have the budget atm so that will have to wait I guess lol.

I have all the polychromos and I have always thought they have gaps in their turquoise/aqua section. Or even bright blues! There really are very few! When you get down to your last section and Swatch your final lightfast pencil I look at it and feel that the colours that would be between it and the one previously are the pencils I feel I am looking for. Perhaps Holbein's pastel range would fill that gap, I don't know. Also the only thing I don't like about the 3(?) Prismacolor pencils I have is that although they are lovely and smooth to use, they just look & feel so cheap. I have karismacolor pencils (their UK forerunners) & they are gorgeous but prismacolors are like an insult by comparison. I hate their uncapped ends in particular. Anyway, I sound like a weird pencil fanatic so I shall quietly stop now! 🤣

Love your swatching olour, i Will like to se your yellows.

I'm watching this a year after you made it....do you still think having both the lighfast and luminance sets is too much? Asking for a friend *wink
Love these swatchy/chatty videos. Thanks
