now the main thing i want to test with these markers is to find out
are they actually pastel i think those are great what is wrong with you
hi art friends Hello Art friends! It's us and we are back with Arrtx markers ooh-
i almost knocked myself out with us these are always in the most aesthetic packaging
i love them this is beautiful now we're very excited about these because we have
done Arrtx markers on the channel before we have idiots colors and it would be nice to do it in
the best colors yeah we're giving them a second chance basically yeah this is like the antidote
to our previous video we've got a gift note over here this is from lilo might 34 how am i
doing "hi adam and steph i've been watching you videos for years you've helped me through some
dark times i hope you enjoy your gift lots of love from lilo might" oh well that's very sweet
thank you thank you you know that's very sweet yeah and i hope times are less dark for you right
now. Yeah i hope things are better for you because you deserve that oh it smells really good oh my
god now the main thing i want to test with these markers is to find out are they actually pastel
because uh there's been a lot of stink about other pastel markers like Ohuhu markers yeah
some people have complained that they look more like a neon color palette got our Ohuhu's over
here so we can do a comparison i don't know what they're talking about i think those are
great what is wrong with you adam's not a fan of like pastel colors but i actually quite like
the brightness of this they're pretty good yeah but we're gonna compare the two and we'll see oh
does it look good yes no they do look good but first impressions from the cap i would
say that they don't look super pester but we both truly both know that cats can sometimes
be very different than what the marker is let's compare them next to the Ohuhu
let's get a good look at there we go so we got Arrtx on the left a Ohuhu on the right yeah
there's definitely like this one for example in this one those are very very dark looking colors
yeah there's quite a reddishy hue in here whereas it's all very sort of pinkish hues
so it's going to be interesting first to have a battle of the pastel markers i have to admit the
cats are who who would definitely look the most pastel so far are winning in terms of
the pastel battle but we will keep you updated on how gory this battle gets oh my god hey you
now i have a theory that 2022 is like a popular year for pastel art supplies so i wanted to test
my theory by going to our audience over on our community tab which a lot of people don't even
know we have a community chat the community cab but we do we do and i asked everyone what do you
think is the most popular art supply of 2022 just to see if you guys were on the same page as me
not a single person was everyone had a completely different answer so there we go
oh this is just steph spirit things that people have sent us uh over there we have got some pastel
schmincke watercolors from our handbag very nice we've got some vintage pastel watercolors from
our friend serena indeed the pastel colored pencils that we showed in a previous video
we've also been sent some pastel posca pens yes to me that just seems like an
awful lot of pastel art supplies but maybe that's just me i need to
find out what i'm going to draw i need my inspiration oh my god i've wanted to open
thank you so much jessica for the wonderful cute tito we've got so many exciting things
that i want to open and play with but i feel like it's unfair for me to do it one more time
i've never had a eater i'm such a fan of donuts is it scented oh wow it smells kind of
like strawberry milkshake it's got little donut patterns on it it's just a baby i'll bet i can
really smell it from here now oh my gosh so yummy this blanket is a donut there he is look at it
speculator someone's been very excited to share what they've done i've done such a
good job it's got so much love behind it i want you to show them yours first nimble
okay well i went with kind of a double page thing again i went with kind of like a cheerleader sort
of thing yeah that would be a fun one to do like half and half that's what i was thinking i did two
pom-poms that i could do in two similar colors and stuff like that that was kind of what i was going
for but i want to see the main event what is this so i was thinking it's gonna be difficult if i
draw just like this one cat because with the half and half down it yeah it would mean it wouldn't
be a fair comparison so if like a Ohuhu's were drawing like a white cat and then the other one oh
pink cat right okay so far i'll have to give them a twin these are gonna be twin cats.
One's a girl and one's a boy okay so this one's the girl on this side and this is the body and
the second and the doorknob together and i've named them because you know how we want each
side to be a different marker yeah so this one's Cat-huhu right and this one's Purrtex
yes that's so good oh my god it looks like you've wrote cthulhu!
That's not correct! it's cat-huhu! My octopus friend. AI voice: "oh my god it's swatch time"
i would say there is one drawback to these markers
the only color identifier on it is the number which for adam is yeah a worse nightmare so this
uh swat sheet is essential for that for me yeah they are very pastely let me see if i've got my
uh huhu swatches in here oh here's some Ohuhu swatches and here's the others yeah i would say
just a first glance and again i'm probably not the best person to give a a comparison but the
to me guys the uh ones seem more vibrant and not necessarily neon but uh more vibrant
Ohuhu might be winning in terms of like look at that each one has the i do love that yes the
color name written on top very good and if you are someone who is like visually like impaired
in any sort of way when it comes to colors that's a very very useful detail now one of the main
things to start about with these is that they are both swatched on different types of paper which
could affect the quality of the swatches so that's why we're going to do our coloring test because
then that way we're going to be able to compare them directly to one another on the same paper
is it a good idea that i should go first i mean i can go first well i like the look of
the 183 i want to do blue pom poms basically oh okay so i'm going to go in with the tree
which half is which half because it's good that you mark like one
is which so you don't get confused i'll do the right side as the Arrtx ones then
so i'm just gonna gradually fan out all from the middle though because i wanna see
how dark i can get these as well i do like this color i like the variants you can get in it like
how dark that is compared to the edges i am going over the pencil which isn't the smartest idea but
we're here now i'm going to keep that to one side because i like that one we've got hulu markers
over here if you want to do some blue on the other side so let's do the other eye in that blue
and let's see if that does have any difference oh those looks very similar they really to me i think
they look quite different i suppose a good test would be to do the other pump i'm the same way
i love getting adam's opinion on colours because in case you didn't know he has colour blindness
really and he sees colours like a bit differently to like how i would especially when it comes to
the tones of things i'm not as perceptive to like lights and darks that's what adam is that's true
like if i see two that are like medium tone i'm just like yeah they're about
the same whereas adam can be like no one is definitely no no no use your eyes woman look
these ones do seem to have some darker hues to them definitely because look at that i
mean although having said that now i would say the the way that's dried the eyes are nearly identical
that's pretty good now i would like to use for the hair some kind of an orange
309 okay we can try that one so again our text is on the right hand side oh i don't like bullet tips
i ever told you that i don't like bullets yeah it's worth noting as well that the Ohuhu ones
are brush markers and the artix ones are uh like chisel tips chisel and bullet tips yeah
now obviously it's all down to preference but i've always preferred brush tip ones i don't know i
just think it's easier to control personally i feel like um for a long time there weren't any
cheap brush markers around so i just made do with like chisel and bullet tip ones yes but
now because people like a Ohuhu are doing brush markers i feel a bit more spoiled when it comes
to like brush markers and i am finding myself leaning more towards brush markers definitely
very pastel it is i was just about to say it's very pastely and it doesn't smudge the pencil
and that's something that i wanted to test with these to see whether you can just sketch in pencil
and not ink it and it's holding up really well i've gone over the pencil lines numerous times
i use this one which is a caran dache just a standard HB one
what are you doing on my pictures and she's nick my picture he asked for my help
i don't think he picks up the camera didn't ask you to steal the thing i'm working on okay so this
is the picture our friend adam has been working on this is a stacking i do remember it quite well
that's good because it was actually just seconds ago so he wanted me to try and find the closest oh
match for the orange the orange hair and i had like a glance i realized that there isn't really
many orange tones in the Ohuhu set the ring the color that we used on this was actually called tea
rose and we're in luck because there is actually a color called Tea Rose so isn't that like probably
the fairest comparison we should probably use the same i would say so okay well those are your
markers sir i shall carry on using the one that i was going to thank you
okay just a reminder this is our reference model yeah it reminds me of you know like
in the olden days when they used to get like just one actor to play twins like lindsay lohan
one of the biggest issues with the Ohuhu markers yes would have been the pastel pinks because
basically every pink in this set was very bright or like neon yeah that's picking it up on camera
i might try go for the one that's called light pink i do have to leave a couple of spaces for
where his uh sprinkles will be it says the marker spreads out and covers all those areas
oh while you were coloring in i thought i might as well line this because it'll be like a nice
test of um we have one that's coloring on top of pencil and another one that's coloring on top of
an inking pen one thing i have to say the Arrtx bullet nibs are awful you don't like the bullet
nibs so and they feel really dry maybe it's just that or maybe it's just the ones that we've got
i don't know but um i always find that brush tips are always like flowing with like lots of
ink and well it's not ink is it what pigment and stuff whereas the artix ones i found well
the ones that i used were very dry that's pretty bad is it wrong of me to want my markers to work
is that too much of an s oh this one's very pastel like look at the
difference between those two yeah yeah i would say
uh cat-huhu is definitely bordering more on the neon highlight aside out of these two
yeah again so much more pastel than the the the cap and the color is yeah
that's like night and day compared to the cap color that's interesting yeah
but again that you want it to be pastel and that's what it is at the end of the day like
cap will be damned meanwhile it's interesting because so far what we're noticing is that the
caps on these are like very dark but the actual marker ink is very pastel yes whereas it's the
opposite with the Ohuhu that these ones tend to be super pastel like on the top but then the actual
color inside the marker is pretty uh neon in comparison yeah there's a lot deeper right another
example um luckily i've got it right next to me on the same page here's like some doodles i was
doing the pinks that i've colored in with these bits that's actually uh a pastel pink highlighter
that i've colored those in with and that looks just about the same color as the cat-huhu pink
i will resume back to coloring in a second but i wanted to give you a little close-up
of our plushies because you might notice there's a few little additions that i've been making and you
heard that right i've been making them myself and we've even got a little biammi card here
we've got a leaf sun we've got the doodle date heart which we have now named doodly derrick
that was like doodly derek so patches doodly derek graston leaferson oh luffy and some miami cards
and i'm working on some other things but mostly stabbing myself a lot you have to get me while i'm
struggling with this bullet tip thing like seriously guys listen just for a second just
listen just sounds a bit dry that's all i mean i've nothing against them i really like the
colors and everything i think the colors are really really nice but um they just seem to be
struggling on the and it is i've checked this is mixed media paper it just seems to be struggling
a little bit with the paper and the paper's not particularly thirsty or anything you know what
i mean it's not like sucking up all the color or anything like that i do think that artix and um
are like on a similar price level oh they're on a completely different level
is that your opinion i think it is safe to say after using these for a little while that a Ohuhu
pastel markers are better than the pastel markers
well i have performed my opinion yet so i need a moment to come up with more oh you
know you know me i love throwing out controversial opinions yeah we know
we've been heard we better be oh my god
honey the loudest voice is the one that's hurt first i think it says the correct one
oh oh my god look just look at it Ohuhu's just like you know what i've got lots of pigment just
just take it just take it just take it just take it from me i've got i've got it to spare look
oh it's a beautiful thing i should stop giving them compliments Ohuhu aren't paying me for this
but oh i'm not gonna have to pay for a compliment of course they're in this in this economy yes
they need to pay me for everything oh my gosh the price of everything recently especially
our electricity bills the cost of living is high and so are my compliments so they
ain't getting no more until until i see some money
i want to give like my final opinion on these markers and i do agree that the Ohuhu,
there's something about them that they just feel like a high quality marker is it because they're
bad i find the ones on the rtx ones are very scratchy they're very dry yes i was i'm wondering
if you can pick this up on here let's get closer like when i was coloring with the streaks yeah
not necessarily the streaks but it was literally scratching the paper you know like when you get
scratchy colored pencils oh wow so the nib was like too hard and it was damaging the paint
god that's rare for you because you you're so light-handed but i would say that the advantage of
Arrtx is that one they come in like this beautiful like box with like this little the packaging is
always great yeah it's great loving the branding the actual markers themselves look how beautiful
everything about these are they are very cute you can't complain about the way that they look
and the actual colors they are much more true to pastels you can't argue with that they are yeah
they're gorgeous as someone who does enjoy really vibrant colors i would say maybe i am leo but
even though i know this baggie it's not as pretty to look at as this but they're really good markers
are they all style and no substance well that's good check out this other Ohuhu video on screen
