![]() ![]() The Neocolor II worked great on some of the other surfaces, so I liked it as well. It just happens to be one of the most affordable pencils as well. It's also really nice to use and doesn't need to be resharpened all the time. The Derwent drawing pencil was the best pencil in most of the cases. The Derwent drawing pencil looks the most opaque in person, but the Caran d'Ache Luminance in white creates an interesting light blue color. Indigo granulates which makes this swatch really pretty to look at. I wanted to include a colored watercolor example because the pencils show up a lot differently on a colored surface. Colored PencilĪll of the pencils created navy blue lines over the black colored pencils. The neocolor II produced the least opaque white in this instance. On the computer, the Derwent drawing pencil did slightly better than the others, but in real life, they all look about the same. ![]() They did create a neat texture over the posca though.Īs usual, the Neocolor II did better than the pencils. If I had to choose a winner, I would say that the Holbein pencil did slightly better than the other pencils. But to be fair, it's almost never used this opaque. None of the pencils did that great over the Dr. In real life, there's no real winner or loser. They all worked pretty well on the ink as well. The Derwent drawing pencil did the best of the pencils and the neocolor II did the best overall. I wonder if they would have done better over regular gouache. The pencils all struggled a bit over the acryla gouache. In real life, the Derwent Drawing pencil is slightly more opaque. I tested the pencils and the neocolor II in order:Īll of the pencils worked pretty well on top of the watercolor. ![]() They worked well over most of the surfaces that I tested. They are very creamy, but they have a crayon texture. When using neocolor pastels, it's very hard to get a fine line. This highly pigmented crayon can be diluted with water. Neocolor II are water-soluble wax oil-based pastels. So this isn't a pencil, but I wanted to test it anyway because I use it in the same manner for highlights. Most of the swatches are on watercolor paper, except for the alcohol marker, the posca marker, and the colored pencil swatches, which are on smooth mixed media paper.Īlcohol ink and posca pens don't do well on textured watercolor paper and I figured that I could get a smoother result with the colored pencil on smooth paper (I didn't.) The colored pencil swatch probably could have been darker, but I'm not as familiar with colored pencils, so it's as good as I could get it. The watercolor and the ink were a bit light, so I painted a 2nd layer on the bottom half of the paper.Īlso, the liquid watercolor is very concentrated, but I think my bottle had dried up a bit, so it was even more concentrated than normal. ![]() To get the best results, I tried to make each surface as dark as possible. I chose 7 different media surfaces in black (and watercolor in indigo) to show how each pencil layers on top of them. There are a ton of art media that white pencils can go on top of, so I tested a whole bunch of them. It's super fun to experiment with different art supplies.
