I have never seen them marketed as an "oil" based pencil but I got mine from Japan almost 5 yrs ago. They are a blend of oil, wax and fat. Very unique and my favorite pencil. Like you said Luminance will crumble too and so do Prisma so this does not bug me at all. The key with Holbein is knowing how to use them properly on the lay down, the application of the stroke is more particular than other pencils but you get used to it after a while. They are different and I like that difference, SO saturated and beautiful. They work beautifully on top of a Poly Chromos underlayer (which also works well with Meltz).

Wow.your knowledge of color made this test work.bravo!And your artwork is awesome!

We know that the more is not always the merrier, however it came out beautifully and one can’t really tell it has 150 colours in it. That’s how harmonious it is.

I was so eager to try the holbeins from my sketchbox and now this video is feeding into the art supply collector in me.

Using the metallics in the hair was genius! I would need a whole box of silver to draw my hair! 😂 Your drawing is stunning as always, what a challenge!

[jeanlanz]

Very creative! Your skin tones are beautiful.

Having the entire set of Holbeins and a decent selection of Lumis, they both have a similar amount of dust imo. I think Prismas get dusty sometimes too, but not in the way Lumis anf Holbeins do. Beautiful piece, I can't believe you used all of the colors and I watched you do it lol. You did such a great job making everything blended and cohesive despite the huge number of colors.

[janicesterling]

i have the 150 set of prismacolor pencils that a friend got me - but will see if can some but i found most sets have similar colors - i also have sets of pastel colors pencils and metallic

[louisea]

wow, what an amazing self portrait. beautiful work

[carltanner]

I'm looking to pick up the Holbeins as well, but since the 150's are so damn expensive, I'm only going to buy the 50's of both pastels and ordinary pencils and then get others as I need them.

[faridahnoor]

A beautiful self portrait. You are so talented. BRAVO

[theresadelaney]

[beuvelain]

Beautiful and impressive! Now I'm thinking of adding the Holbeins 150 to my collection.

[Fantamusue]

[amandaparker]

This was so much fun to watch that now I want to go bust mine out!
Thank you! 💚

[melkmb]

I love this challenge for you! I, on the other hand wouldn’t know how to incorporate all those colors in a portrait! 😂 I admire the dedication you had to put all the numbers in each color you were using! Color me impressed! Superb self portrait!!!!

[Becca-UK]

You are an incredible artist ❤ Are you using pastelmat?

[dimitrioskalfakis]

impressive watercolor painting with oil based pencils ;-) meticulous and disciplined work. after spreading the blender did you notice if you could apply light over dark in an effective way (opaque) ? BTW, sometimes the ugly skin phase is the best as far as dramatic texture.

[parleymanderson]

Although these pencil feel like professional colored pencil. If you want lightfast colors, you ether should choose other options or have to check the lightfastness of individual colors.
