good quality crayons

[creativechbdcrafts]

im hoping to find good quality crayons, better than standard crayolas. i want them mostly for regular coloring, not so much for techniques or water coloring or blending. do you have any recommendations? are faber castell Paper Crafters Crayons noticeably different & worth the money? thanks for your ideas!

Do you know the brand Caran d'Ache? That's what I grew up with :lol: and it is still one of the best products I ever met. The name is Neocolor by Caran d'Ache.

Maybe it helps


Edit: if you would like to try it, I could send you a part of one piece if you would like to. Just tell me the color you'd like to have and I put it into an envelope (and hope it will arrive)

This page at Dick Block seems to have a lot of information. Hopefully you find it useful:

Nika in Wonderland uses Neocolors a lot in her art � at around 4:45 in this video you can see her use them:

Glad you liked it, Diane. I found his work a few years ago and it just blew me away. I always try to share his website on threads like these. It inspires me that he can accomplish so much with so little!

wow! that takes real talent and patience!
poppy, the video is cool, i love watching the colors & water swirl, but im not sure how that answers my question about smudginess. would i have to seal my work after coloring wiht neocolors?
