I will apologize for this video also, I am VERY pressed for time, so some corners were cut and things left out. I just wanted to ensure you had a video before we left.

I'll make it up

I’m so glad you did this video because I have the 36 tin of polychromous and haven’t used them for anything but swatching. Seeing them in action and what they can do (especially in professional hands) inspires me to actually put them through their paces at some point. Great video and beautiful piece!

The thing i love about these videos is they give a good showcase of both products. If you can only afford the cheaper, its really helpful to be able to see the comparison so you know what level of art is still achievable. When using cheaper art supplies, its really helpful to know their limitations.

Dude...beautiful opening shots. That didn't go unnoticed. Great vid!

I used Faber-Castell at school as well, and will always have a special place in my heart for the cheap (well priced) set. But if you’re looking to take your art to the next level then quality supplies always make things easier. You’re not fighting with your tools in any way, they just work and you can focus solely on honing your skills.

Hey ADC, have you ever thought about doing a “Draw my life” video? I heard in a livestream that you used to do street fighting, I think? That’s so cool and would love to know more about your life if you would be comfortable with sharing! Loved the video :)

[rydescho]

I definitely enjoy the expensive colors more in this piece. The smoothness beats out gritty for me, everytime! Well done ADC! 💯💯💯

[WeblightDreams]

Loved this comparison, big fan of Faber Castell so it was nice to see two tiers of their art supplies and have them pitted against each other. Also, awesome artwork, so excited for the new Thor movie.

I know a lot of people enjoy polychromos but sadly they aren't my thing. I like the wax based ones more since they tend to just lay down brighter over markers. And I actually really like the graininess of them. There's something about that texture that just is incredibly appealing to me.

The close ups of when you are drawing and coloring are so awesome! I love that because it shows how precise and nuanced the process is, with layering and soft blending. It's incredible to watch.

Tbh - I was supriced how well the cheap ones looked and survived. Thank you for making this! (Now I don't have to feel bad for buying cheaper set for a child. Or spending the double for a hobbyist.)

[TsukabuNosoratori]

I’ve had the whole Polychromos range for a few years now and can say they’re worth it. Waterproof for mixed media, and they blend like a dream. I’ve only had to replace my most used colors once in 3 years’ solid use. If a person can afford them, I highly recommend this brand. They work well with my Prismacolor and Derwent pencils too!

[rileeb]

You have proven that s true artist can make beautiful art with any product in hand because you understand art fundamentals and know how to make the products work for you. Your skills are BOSS leve and VERY inspiring!! Well done!!! Thank you for all your hard work!

[Weetot]

Both sides are fab 😊 polychromos are my favourite pencils they just continue to layer and layer 💕

[JayofallTrades]

As a beginner well just getting back to basics of art, I love this series. It tells me which are worth investing in or which are total garbage. I wish I had these tips back in art school when I needed high quality supplies on a budget and all the syllabus gave were generic suggestions.

[madmissemily]

Your reviews are always fair and based on reality, I can definitely see the difference in the use and the final result. Well done! I hope you have fun at Comic Con! I am sure people will be gentle with you :)

[tosteson]

Love the new B roll. Really elevates things. I know it's a ton of effort, but it shows.

[nickmoore]

Both sides look worth it to me. Love both works. Would love to see a comparison of Arteza Expert series vs Castle Arts Gold color pencils.

[LizNori]

I have always thougt that pencils were the worst art material ever. Then I tried polychromos, and OMG !!! They are so nice !! I love love love. I then try some luminance and dervent lightfast, but I don't know...too soft for me I gess, and so much more expensive, but some unique and lovely muted colors.

[k.peterdingain]

The student pencils are good value for the money, but I have been using the Polychromos for the last few years and can honestly say that in my experience they are the best you can get and are well worth the money.
