Great video. It’s so nice of you to offer the swatch sheets for free. Not every influencer would be kind enough to do that.

Thank you so much for your thorough review and the charts. I just got my Xmas present through Black Friday sale. A full set of prismacolor and the monarch set. After using 5 below pencils I feel like I got the wonka golden ticket!

Its fun to see how they evolved since the first set were released. My first set of black widow pencils had no name or number and the end wasn’t capped. I purchased another set when there were names on them. They live side by side in my case, and I try to use the unmarked pencils first. Thank you for sharing this video and your charts, I already downloaded and swatched mine!

Loved the history and seeing them all together. Excellent swatch chart. Thank you.

I really like the Black Widow collection, it’s nice that you can build up a collection over time without having to buy it all at once or end up with duplicates if you just want to try them first. I really prefer oil based pencils but these are not too waxy, which is my main complaint about Prismacolor. Thanks for your videos, I always find them very informative

[Chepakishui]

Thank you for doing something different than what everyone else is doing.

[kathylong]

Thank you so much for the swatch chart. I have to agree, the first 3 sets are like butter, the following sets although they are nice they feel very different.

[wendymaddock]

I’ve got all the sets and I love them all xx there so smooth and they blend beautifully xx 😘

Hello Emily, I just found your channel looking to check out in detail the Black Widow pencils. First I want to say, your tutorial is absolutely excellent, so detailed and very in depth. And I am really impressed how generous you are offering free swatch charts and worksheets. I only got so far the Black widow original spider set, but I’m really impressed and I want to get the rest of the sets. Although suddenly the Scorpio became unavailable on Amazon, hopefully it will come back in stock soon. I only have one other set, the 120 Castle Arts, I got it as a gift and honestly I am not all that impressed with them. I do like the Black widow how they perform. What is your opinion between those 2 brands? Actually I have a set of 36 Prismas, and although they are indeed very smooth and soft, they have too much dust and the sharpener really eats them. I don’t really use them. I colored more with markers, gel pens, the FC Pitt brush pens, so I’m just getting into colored pencils. One thing I want to ask you, the link for the 255 slot pencil case takes me actually to a 168 slot pencil case, so not even 180. You think it’s a mistake? Again thank you for sharing your knowledge, very much appreciated. 😊

While the formula among colors might be the same, the pigments used can change the feel of a pencil. With the skin sets the Black Widows started to have a larger core and that more than anything changes the feel of the pencil for me. They are the only large wax pencil set I own (I do have a 36 color Prismacolor). The Prismacolors were the first good pencils I tried and they were too “crayony” for my taste.

I've seen everyone talk about these for the past year since getting into coloring so I couldn't decide which set to get I just bought them all and just received them haven't tried them yet tyfs great informative video. Love your artistic work❤️

First, thank you for the templates! Much appreciated. From my experience, certain pigments are less cooperative than others no matter what the medium. For instance, Red. I was a printer for years and I dreaded the days I had to run red. It just didn't want to lay down without making a mess and a lot of paper was wasted. Red yarn didn't knit as easily and nicely, red paint was not as easy to even out, and red colored pencils can get blotchy or generally uneven if not careful. Greens were a breeze. Yellow sometimes gets moody and doesn't want to cooperate. Etc. If the binder and the base (was/oil) is the same, then the only difference is the nature of each pigment; so... I'm going to say I think it is the pigment that makes the difference in behavior. JMO

Can we do a "let's talk" about coloring book paper and what pencils lay down the best in our favorite books? I do hope that the next Black Widow set will be loaded with shades of purples...

[jeannefujita]

I just downloaded the black widow charts. Thank you so much. They look like very nice pencils, so I will probably bite the bullet and buy them all. I like your channel, glad I found you.

[Hummingbirdbudgets-ti]

I love my black widow pencils! I would highly recommend these pencils to anyone looking to buy a good quality set!

[ambernickell]

Thank you for the blackwidow chart I just found your channel

I have only been colouring for a few weeks and I already want to upgrade from the noris pencils, I swear noris is the $2 steak of pencils. Or the dark souls of pencils.

[deb.e.mixedmedia]

Thank for all the info Emily! I like the Black Widow sets too. 💜

[Shelleyweaver]

Black widow pencils are one of my favourite pencils.

[helendonohoe]

I'm hoping they bring out a pastel set
