IS MY BELOVED STABILO STILL BEST for Mixed Media Drawing? (Product Comparison)

I have been IN LOVE with my black stabilo for YEARS!! After last week's review of water soluble pencils in color, I decided I should probably put my black stabilo all pencil to the test to make sure it STILL deserves to be my go-to for mixed media drawing!! Press play to see what I found out!

What's YOUR favorite mixed media drawing tool??

[dianadevlin]

I bought the stabilo all pencil on your recommendation and I've not been disappointed. I used it today on a mixed media canvas and it worked great! 😊

YOU ARE THE KAREN THAT WE WANT WE NEED WE LOVE 🌸🌸🌸🌸

My favorite are the Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor Pencils. They melt like magic. Great recommendation from Color Bliss.

Hi Karen, the stabilo is one of my favorite pencils to use and it’s all thanks to you!

[KariGibsonArt]

Great test! Another thing to consider with these pencils if you want to use them in wall art, rather than just journals, is their lightfastness. I don't know about the others, but I do know that the Inktense black is not very lightfast at all. I did a test over 2 years and it faded badly.

[armadillofeathers]

Are you using the Inktense Chinese Ink or India ink pencils ? These pencils really have to dry (it’s hard to tell how much time elapsed) There is also an outliner in the Inktense line that looks black, as well as Derwent watercolors pencils. Grapitent is a whole different thing due to the graphic base. Thank you for all the comparison.

[veronicasalfi]

What is the black stabilo used for most? Outlining, smudging or with water?

[joanneoliver]

all is like either hate or love 😂. I love mine! Inktense still activated lol. Don’t know if it’s the same, but I brought derwent inktense watercolour paints to try out....I swatched them in my journal about a week ago, gorgeous bright colours but I noticed if I rub the swatches now with my finger the colour comes off and I noticed where they had been in my journal they left marks on the page when closed., bit like the pencils you’ve been trying out. Thanks for sharing Karen, always so informative and fun 😘😘

I just received Stability All . When I saw you reviewing and comparing in this video, I thought, oh no! I hoped they would check out okay. So happy they did! Thanks for the video.

[brendaflinders]

I’m trying to find your Amazon link for the Stabilo pencil you love so much. Can you help me with that. Thank you Karen.

[pamelahowell]

Karen inktense has a black outliner pencil that is permanent, I got my inktense pencils open stock on Blick I think, it's been a while

[alohakah]

Hi, what’s written on your coffee mug?

[sibelxo]

Oh wow, great video, now I need "stabilo all pencil" lol and I love the texture of that paper, can you tell me the brand? please. Xo ❤️

[SaltLifeGypsy]

You mentioned the colored Stabilos in the other video...do you have a video using or comparing them?
Would love your opinion on them.

[chrystinelacaille]

I’m sad you left out the Stabilo Woody 😢 but great comparison 👍🏻

[susanboyter]

Does the inktense maybe have to sit about 24 hours to like cure? I'm going to check mine too

[mik]

Great test! Now I need to get some black Stabilo’s. The one thing I noticed though...It seems many of the pencils re-activated mainly around the area of the original box, as if that area wasn’t completely wetted the first go around. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very clear. No matter, the Stabilo rocked!

[pamelahowell]

They work well on fabric, using fabric medium to liquify them

[anjo]

Stabilo is also my #1 go to...and by the way... I noticed your stabilo is as short as mine! Lol
