Hey guys Hristina here and look what I have! it's the scrawlrbox for the month
of June and full confession I've already opened the box I've seen the supplies. I
even tested some of the supplies and I recorded it for you and then I lost the
footage so now I'm recording it again so if anything looks a bit messed up it is
because I've already played with some of the stuff a little bit. But anyway I'm
not going to make this introduction any longer and I'm just going to show you
what's in the box. Now, every month I try to start with the print that comes in
the box and this month's print is absolutely brilliant. How cool is this!?!
The pops of color and just the style is unbelievable. It reminds me of this
thing that I was watching on Cartoon Network growing up it was called Foster
Home for Imaginary Friends or something. This is the name of the artist,
uk-based artist and here is his social media if you want to check out more of
his work but really really cool piece probably one of my favorite that we've
received. Now the next item it's a sheet of vellum and it's not even mentioned
and the little information cards they give you but there is a sheet of vellum
in the box and this is not the size it comes in it was a regular a5 size but
because I played around with the edges thinking that I was recording I had to
then trim that so you know to kind of show you everything and do all the tests
with you the next thing that came in the box is this it's a pack of pencil paper
and all of the brands and products are going to be listed in the description
which the description of the video because I'm terrible at pronouncing
names but that's the person or brand that makes that paper and you get ten
sheets a five 220 GSM you what's cool about this is that you get five sheets
that are smooth and five sheets that are rough paper so I'm going to show you
that closely when we look at the products and how they perform
the next thing in the Box is this zig pen for writing on vellum and I feel
like that's an item that's gonna be hit or miss with a lot of people not many
people that I know that the art do a lot of work on vellum but I personally find
this useful because I happen to work on vellum sometimes so I'm curious to see
how this is going to perform and again by zinc we have a 2-way glue which again
I feel like some people are gonna be like well that's not really an art
supply I'm personally happy with it because I
know I have projects to use this on but if you are into paper piecing or maybe
some sort of mixed media art and you like to add little embellishments or
something to your canvases at the end I feel like this will potentially work for
you and then we have this which is a perfection
eraser pencil by faber castell and as you can see you get two sites to it so
the pink site here is supposed to be very good for erasing color pencils and
graphite and the white side is supposed to be very good for erasing ink at least
that's what the little information card says we're gonna taste that and see how
it works and last but not least and probably my favorite item that we've
ever received in a score box are these these are chameleon pencils and I've
never tried them before but they're just so cool you get five pens but then you
are getting 10 shades so it's just such a compact way to make color pencils I
feel like and it's so convenient that you get a darker shade in a lighter
shade or understand same pens also I feel like this is going to make coloring
Oh easier but again we're gonna taste them
see how they all perform so the last thing that they have to show you is what
the team for the month is and the team is twisted reality so we're going to
create an artwork with our supplies and this team at the end of this video but
now we're going to jump into actually testing the supplies and seeing how they
perform I'm going to start with the vellum and the pen that we have so the
Zig pain for vellum comes with two different tips you get a plastic pen
like tip on one side and you get a bullet tip on the other and what I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna write my name once and then I'm going to simulate a mistake
by dragging my hand across it because that's what sometimes happens and you
smudge everything and then I'm gonna write my name again and let it dry for a
few seconds and do this much taste after so this is this is what happens if you
immediately make a mistake and go over your line as you can see there is as
much not quite as much as you get with other pens or similar on vellum but
let's try if I write my name again and I'll just leave it here for a few
seconds to dry it's pretty impressive that is performing this well on vellum
to be honest usually I have less work than this with pens on film but see the
second time around there is still a tiny bit of smudging now that I've let it dry
for a tiny bit of time but it's much better so we're gonna play around with
this a bit more I wouldn't say that it's a hundred percent foolproof and you'll
never get as much on them but films are very tricky surface to work on so I
can't exactly say that this is a favor anything next we have the pencil paper
and as I said you get smooth paper which is this one here
and this is very similar to cardstock that you might use for coloring with
alcohol markers in fact is freakishly similar to the one that I'm using and
then the rough side the rough paper if you look at it and if you can see the
texture it's kind of like um almost watercolor Lee watercolor paper type of
texture but definitely not quite as rough so that's really nice I personally
prefer too well not preferred but I personally have used more of rough paper
for my color pencil so I'm probably going to use the smooth one for this
video for the final artwork but what we're gonna do right now is taste on a
piece of the rough paper how the pencils are actually performing I'm gonna get
one of the darker shades so what I think is cool about these things
is I move this valve out of the way what I think is cool is that you get three
different shades of the same color in one pencil so what you can do is you can
start with a darker color and be a bit more firm with it and then you can lower
the amount of pressure you're putting into coloring and then when you're done
with the darker shade you can overlap here where your pressure with the darker
shade was lower you can go over that with your light shade and then you can
extend the light shade over to the left and you get a beautiful transition
between the two colors and obviously as everything else it takes a little bit of
practice but I'm gonna taste all of the pencils and I'm gonna show you what they
look like swatched on the paper this is what all of the colors look like
swatched they're really beautiful and I'm really impressed with the selection
of colors that we've received and I think all the shades work very well
together and I really enjoy them on this paper they seem to be a fairly good
quality pencils are not by no means an expert on color pencils I used to use
them a lot in the past I haven't really been that focused on them for a few
years now I really enjoy these pencils so what I
want to do next is I want to try every erase what was the name of it the
perfection eraser pencil and I am going to try it with one of the darker colors
we might as well you know go crazy with this so I'm just going to try and erase
a line straight through the middle of this and I'm fairly impressed that is
pretty cool it doesn't remove the color a hundred percent as you can see there
are some traces of it but it's definitely something and if you haven't
pressed with your pencil like a beast you're probably gonna get better results
I'm gonna try and see how it's gonna work with graphite so I'm just gonna do
a little gradient like this and we're gonna see how it performs with that so
again I'm just gonna try to erase a line down the middle and again it doesn't
erase a hundred percent but it's doing a fairly decent job if we just have a
normal line from sketching or something
is handling that pretty well also the one things that I noticed about
this paper but to be honest it happens when you're working with pencils is that
you get a bunch of smudges on the paper you can absolutely use the vellum under
your hand to protect your page but have different plans for the vellum so I'm
not gonna use it for that I'm gonna try the eraser pencil with some ink now so
I'm just going to use a copic multiliner and I'm just gonna draw a line and I'm
gonna see how that's gonna work I mean it's not really working let's be
honest maybe it's the type of ink that I'm using right so what I did just now
was I checked some reviews of the product online some of the tutorials I
was looking for someone on YouTube who's tested this and who shows how to use the
site that's supposed to be able to erase ink because I'm not sure if it's fair to
put it to a test against the copic multiliner I just don't know but what I
found out through trial and error is that this works a lot better if instead
of going like this you go like this and kind of fold the line the jury racing
like that and it's definitely lifting some of the ink is not moving at a
hundred percent but there is definitely us at all different it one last thing
that is left to show you is the glue pain when it arrives and you first open
it from the box the tip is going to be white how you make the glue flow is you
treat it kind of like a pasta pen you would press it against your page a few
times until you see the nib turning blue and the blue is the actual weight glue
in the pen and then you're just going to put a small amount in the area where you
need it and it will eventually turn clear so depending on what you want to
use this glue before you ask you I assume you can use it straight like that
or you can let it become clear where it's going to be less sticky and you can
use it to like temporarily attach stuff from what I gather but we are going to
use it in the actual artwork that I'm going to create so the real test will be
really when I do the artwork throughout the process of working on the
so art piece for this month's challenge I realized that I'm really happy with
all the supplies that came in the box I personally don't really care for the
smooth pencil paper my personal preference
turns out is a rougher texture for color pencils but I can't see the paper itself
is bad I think I'm just gonna use it with markers at least try to use it with
markers I don't enjoy it for pencils but again might just be a personal
preference the pencils I really love I like the concept I like the way that
they work I'm sure if you have more colors it's going to be easier to create
better blend and to be honest I was kind of annoyed with a paper and with the
fact that my camera was giving me troubles so I was just not in the
greatest mood while I was working at this which is a shame because I'm now
looking at the piece and I don't think it's bad but I just can't say that I
liked it because it was so difficult to film it and I'm so annoyed I lost so
much footage I was trying to film this video for you guys but what I wanted to
do is on the piece of paper that I'm coloring
I created this frame that has a slight kind of like underwater feeling a little
bit of pirate team maybe so I wanted to do that and then I cut out that keyhole
shape that you see in the middle so I have this frame that's super colorful
and then I stuck the piece of vellum to the back of that colorful frame and I
used the vellum pen onto my paper as well I actually unlike outlined
everything with it because I first started off with outlining the keyhole
and then I felt like the black was so dominant I need a child somewhere else
so I just outlined everything with it which I'm not sure I loved but I did it
anyway so yeah I used the vellum pen onto the vellum obviously and I just
continued kind of the image and I have this girl that it's kind of looking
through this keyhole and she has this I patch like a pirate but I wanted to
make it look like kaleidoscope but then that didn't quite work out
because I was kind of annoyed at everything and I kind of rushed through
it and it's all sorts of weird and messed up but anyway I think the idea
was kind of kid to have the vellum as a very kind of black and white and then to
have the colourful frame and like the tentacles kind of turning from here into
tentacles when she kind of comes to that frame of colour I don't know I don't
think I did a great job at explaining this but that's what the idea was and as
I said I'd like the supplies I don't think there's absolutely anything wrong
with the supplies they're definitely all things that I'm going to use I'm most
excited about the pencils I'm least excited about the smooth paper but if it
works with markers I'll be absolutely happy with that and I actually really
loved the team for this month's challenge so I really hope you enjoyed
this video guys and you liked the artwork that I created it was a big big
struggle but hopefully it was worth it let me know what you think in the
