hi today I'm going to be testing out the strangest and coolest art supplies from
Etsy as you can see I kind of went crazy and bought way too much stuff most of it being
homemade or items that you just cannot buy at a store there's a lot to get to so let's just
jump straight into the video all right we're gonna start this off with a bang because this very first
item is just the coolest thing ever so what this item is is homemade iridescent watercolor and as
you can see just from like the little preview video it looks absolutely insane and it's so
pretty that it's kind of got me wondering like is this gonna be too good to be true this comes
from the Etsy seller Renaissance colors which by the way everybody who I'm gonna mention today I
will link them in the description box down below please go check them out and please support these
homemade businesses okay first one oh I'm so excited all right so let's see what this
iridescent watercolor looks like so right off the bat I love the way it comes in this little
tiny little Satchel I think it's so cute and it also comes with a little tiny sample of another
paint called novello add a course it includes the actual paint itself so let's unwrap it and see
foreign [Music] oh wow oh my God holy crap this is so cool this is such a cool color as you can
see it reflects like hot pink to neon green all the way to like almost like a yellow tint the
pigment is insane for a mica pigment it breaks down perfectly in water looks good both on black
and white paper and it looks just like the Etsy picture showed five stars for this next item this
is one that I was very surprised to find on Etsy I didn't think that Etsy would offer this kind of an
item and this item is so complex that honestly I could have probably made an entire video on just
this one item alone but I wanted to buy a bunch of other stuff too so so what this item is is
an art supply Mystery Box I got this for twenty dollars just looking at the example listing it
looks like it's gonna be a very wide variety of art supplies so I'm hoping the items will
included will be a nice variety like this but honestly I don't know I truly don't know let's
open it up so here is the mystery box here oh I like this paper I feel like it kind of adds to the
surprise element you know what I mean like those Party Poppers that are like surprise so right
off the bat the first thing I pulled out is this Violet gouache by artiza we have another Artis of
gouache this one is white we have a third gouache um King's art acrylic in deep yellow another blush
it looks like we have a couple of brushes we have two watercolor pencils by favorite Castell
this is a silver Sketchbook there's also Derwent Academy sketching pencils more watercolor pencils
a pencil sharpener another gouache acrylic and peach acrylic and dark teal a multi-colored we
have some metallic bronze ink stickers white ink pen a really beautiful coloring page and lastly I
have written notes and oh apparently the seller recognized my name and they included a discount
code for my viewers if you're interested in buying this art box use code Ray Dizzle for
15 off how cool is that okay awesome I feel so spoiled right now because Etsy sellers they
truly truly care about their businesses all of this stuff is incredible and I think the
Etsy seller who made this is definitely probably an artist because they thought to include things
that only artists would want for example the white pen the sharpener the basic colors everything
here is really nice this Etsy seller went the extra mile how can I not give them five stars
oh okay so for this next item I think this one is gonna be the hit of the video this is
so interesting and whoever invented this straight up genius so if you have ever had art block where
you just don't know what to draw you have no idea what to draw Etsy has the solution for
you this is called Art unblocks it's a dice game for artists each of the dice has like a subject
matter or color or a theme on it and then you make a drawing based off of whatever you roll
from the dice I got these blocks for 20 bucks so let's take a chance and roll the dice good
again we have some more confetti which I don't know I just love the confetti it makes it just
like extra special and of course the art blocks they come in a nice little velvet
packaging and there's four blocks the first block includes medium like what art supplies
are you gonna use like acrylic digital pastels what are you gonna use then we have a block for
the principles and elements of design so the scale balances pattern movement third block
includes the subject matter slash style so like portrait abstract like what what
are you gonna actually draw and then the last art block includes the color palette slash the
mood of the drawing so is the drawing gonna be happy sad dreamy what's the vibe of the drawing
at the end of this video I'm definitely gonna make a drawing with everything that I bought
today but I want to do a snake preview to see what exactly I'm going to be drawing today
it wants me to do old pastels but I literally don't have any so I'm gonna have to re-roll
I'm gonna be drawing an acrylic pattern dreamy portrait okay stick around for the rest of the
video and that's what I'm gonna be drawing today wow we're getting a lot of really good ones so far
five stars for this next item this is an item that made me wanna even film this video this item that
you're about to see I had to buy it for selfish reasons okay I don't know if you're ready for
this item this item is a true functioning super miniature Sketchbook and it also comes with a
miniature pencil but the pencil is not functional it's just there for decoration and just the fact
that the paper is actually paper that you can draw or write on I don't think most people buy it for
that reason but just the fact that you can do it I'm sold done purchased all right so here it is
I like the Box a lot oh my gosh this is so small look how small this book is I'm
gonna have to zoom my camera all the way in and the little tiny pencil that it came with
oh my God surprisingly it comes with a lot of pages a lot more than I thought it would
and it looks like the paper is made out of like some kind of like a poster board or
like a photo board because it's like very shiny paper but yeah even though this is really small
the attention to detail is very impressive and I am gonna try it out right now [Music]
it works it works so good oh my gosh I like this this is so cool the fact that it's handmade
everything about this 10 000 Stars oh okay so this next item I feel that this item might have been
invented before but I personally have never seen it invented but I'm excited okay these
are wooden pencil cap protectors these ones are super cheap I got three for five books out of a
thousand reviews they have a perfect five star rating so let's see if these pencil caps work
thank you
this came with some pencils but I don't remember ordering these pencils and I'm worried that I
might have got somebody else's order oh it came with a bunch of stickers oh and it came with
some postcards what is this order I this might be somebody else's order I don't know this postcard
has a handwritten note too so I think I might have got somebody else's order because there's a lot of
stuff that came with this I don't know let me see okay so there's been a plot development um
it looks like I did not get somebody else's order this right here are the pencil caps and all this
extra stuff that it came with that I thought was somebody else's order it's free all of this came
included with my purchase of these pen caps oh my gosh that is so cool that's why I love love
Etsy sellers is because they always put the extra mile like extra care so here's what the pencil
caps look like as you can see they're super springy which I'm not gonna stop playing with
this for like the next 10 minutes and you put the pencil caps over any standard size pencil
and voila just like that it protects your pencil wow the seller really really went out of their
way to make this product super special for me 10 out of 10. I specifically saved the biggest and
most expensive one for last so what this is is 220 pencils that come in their own little
drawers as you can see they look so beautiful so organized they just look so satisfying and
I got these pencils for 146 dollars which I'm not gonna lie is pretty dang pricey
oh for some reason it also came with these invitations for Dia de los Muertos so okay then
but yeah here are the pencils as you can see it comes with literally every single color my
little heart could ever want [Music] and I love the little oh what was that cardboard
my very first impression is that the pencils are having a very hard time breaking down with
water and that's the whole point of watercolor pencils is that you can break them down because
they're made out of watercolor just compare it to prismacolor there's a huge difference
in how the water breaks it down this might not be the art supply for me but I think this would
be a good art supply for somebody who enjoys coloring even though I love the trays I'm not
a fan of the pencils inside them three stars I got a lot of great stuff but now I think
it's time to put all of these items to the test and make a drawing with them so let's do this
[Music] they could change [Music]
[Music]
okay so before I show you the drawing I need to explain some things okay first things first
acrylic does not belong on Sketchbook paper so you're definitely going to see some warping of
the pages like a lot next up is the watercolor pencils were incredibly difficult to use not
only this product is not about the formulation of the colored pencils but the actual case and how
it looks nice now it's organized and how there's so many of them and I ended up having to use like
two prismacolors to make it look decent you know but don't get me wrong everything else
was just absolutely awesome there was a lot of really cool elements that went into creating
this drawing with what limited stuff I could do so without further Ado here's the drawing
foreign
[Music]
look how cool this iridescent paint is from far away ah but yeah again I will
link everything down below including my own Etsy store where I sell original art pieces
not the Prints but the actual pieces thank you for joining me on this very difficult art
challenge I hope you have a wonderful day happy drawing and I'll see you guys next video bye
