hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so i'm here today with another scawlrbox unboxing
this is the march 2021 edition so this has just arrived and i thought i would unbox it
for you we'll see what's inside this month's box if you're not familiar with scrawlrbox it's a uk
based monthly art supply subscription where they send you premium art supplies through the
mail every month generally on a little bit of a theme and this box retails at 15 pounds per
month but you can get three pounds off your first box by using my link under the video
so you'll get your first box delivered in the uk for 12 pounds they do ship all over the world so
if you're out of the uk you can still get the discount you just have to pay a little on top
for international shipping so without further ado i'm going to unbox it we're
going to have a look what's inside this one's box there's just a little tab to pull off there
okay so your art supplies are always wrapped up here in the tissue paper
and then we've got some writing supplies and a little art prince
trying to work out which way around this is i guess like this um and on the back it'll
tell us about this month's featured artist which is shane vorhaban and that is his art
so we generally get some paper to work on or a pad and we get art supplies and stuff as well every
month you get a little scrollazine like this if i open it up it's going to tell me what's
inside so i kind of don't want to cheat too much i want to be surprised and so i've just skipped
the page where it tells you about the items but this is a sit down with the march featured artist
there's also a scroller gallery so this is from the january box they give you like a particular
theme this was like a paisley theme and they asked you to kind of work on that using the
january supplies and then they um print the sort of best ones that they've picked so if you are an
artist you can absolutely submit your ideas for consideration okay so let's get into the supplies
and see what we've been sent every month presents a sticker this is the match sticker
so you can kind of see it's got that same design off the art prints on the sticker
and it's not for any particular reason it's just a bit of fun you can collect them do whatever
you want with them and they're just like a little sticker to represent that one's box there's always
a little card explaining the items inside the box as well but we're gonna go through them one
by one so it says this month's box is all about the beauty of the hand-drawn line thick or thin
dark or light each line has its place in building your next artwork try experimenting with line
variation and how the line weight and variation can affect your artwork what does the line type
add to your work do thinner lines give a softer feel and do thick bold lines create more drama try
this out and see how using different line styles can alter your creations oh my gosh so i've just
had a peek at what's in here and i actually think they may have designed this box for me
so i've really been getting into bullet journaling and trying to draw i'm no artist
but i'm trying to get better at it and some of the items in here are ones i was literally
looking at buying myself so i'm so excited let's go through them one by one and we'll do a bit of a
test with them as well oh and they tend to include like a sweet treat to sort of nibble on while
you're doing your art and this month we get a sour apple flavor refresher bar very nice love
love love these are also suitable for vegans and vegetarians so first of all we have got three pens
by faber castell so like i said i'm recently getting into bullet journaling and a lot of bullet
journal artists use these pens so i was looking at purchasing them myself now i don't need to they're
in this box so we get three of these pens they retail at 2.99 each and it says favor castell has
brought together all of the advantages of drawing in indian ink in a modern and uncomplicated pen
the pit artist brush the high quality brush point works both straight and bent without breaking
while the light colours are transparent and thus well suited to varnishing techniques
the dark colours have good covering qualities pit artist pens have unsurpassed light vastness and
individual colours are marked with an asterix based code so it's just got a b on the end so
these are what the tips look like and they've got various colors and things on so this one is the
scarlet red one one eight definitely think they're probably more suited to like drawing and stuff but
i just wanted to kind of do a bit of a swatch so you can see what they look like
so excited to play with these this is sky blue 146 it sort of reminds me of like a thinner version of
the tombow brush pens like a thinner smaller version next up we've got the uni pin brush
pen this premium quality brush pen features a fade proof and water resistant pigment ink
it has a firm brush tip that will adapt to your pressure angle and speed during use
this firmness gives you excellent control and enables expressive brush pen painting
techniques perfect light strokes accents and controlled shading it retails at two pounds 49.
oh i like this this has got a rather interesting kind of tip to it it's a little bit rounded
i look forward to playing around with this pen next up
a gel pen so i don't really think of these as ones to sort of draw with this tends to
be more what i would write with but it's a good pen so this is a uniball
signo gel stick pen it's excellent for any artist needing an instrument for smooth and
easy line work it's fitted with a 0.7 millimeter stainless steel nib great for those finer details
and includes a unique twin ball mechanism that prevents any unwanted ink leakages it features a
specially shaped comfort grip making it a great drawing tool for everyday use retails at 149.
so these are just really lovely and smooth to write with but yeah definitely would have
a go at kind of drawing with them as well next up we've got the unit pin 1.0 line drawing pen
this uni pin drawing pen is ideal for all types of art and design including sketching line art
and technical drawing it contains a waterproof and fade proof pigment ink and a metal surround
protects the nib making this pen exceptionally durable the perfect fine liner for all your line
making needs and this retails at 249. it's got like a brush tip oh so it's like a gray you can
definitely go fine or you can go kind of thick hmm i like that and finally we've got a derwent
graphic pencil absolutely rate those i have one here in an f but the one that we've been sent
in this month's box is the 2b so it says a good quality pencil drawing is highly dependent on the
quality of your pencil i'm going to totally blame my tools in future derwent graphic pencil contains
the finest graphite which creates smooth and effortless lines it features an attractive glossy
black barrel with an innovative orange angled stripe and is a popular choice among all creators
widely used by designers artists and illustrators worldwide retails at one pound 55.
and then as i said they do include some paper or a book or something to draw in every month
i love that about this subscription it gives you everything you need to create
this is the scrawlr uncoated drawing paper 250 gsm this custom sketch pad contains 12 quality sheets
of uncoated drawing paper so there is plenty for all of your testing sketches and final artworks
this lightweight textured and absorbent paper pairs perfectly with the graphite
pencils and ink based pens making it a fine surface for all your creative needs
that's a nice bright white color and being 250 gsm it's super thick too
so then this month's challenge is leading lines so each box provides you with a selection of art
supplies and inspiration but we also want to spark your creativity every month we'll give
you a challenge word or phrase to be interpreted however you wish try and create something using
only the supplies in this box good luck and don't forget to share your creations with us hashtag
so now we can have a look through this month's sprawler zine so as i said it's got a little bit
of an explanation of everything that came in the box so we got the sweet treats we got the drawing
paper the brush shader the sticker the drawing ink colored pen things the thick liner a graphite
pencil and the thin black lines it gives you lots of information about each of those quick overview
and then we've got the scroll artist so this is that like q a and some examples of his work there
some notes from the artist and then it gives you some tips here on how you can use your new pens
and how to get the best out of everything in the box then here is what i was talking about before
