Crayola is a brand famous for being for children. So how does it measure up against Tombow, a brand aimed at hobbyists and even professionals? I take the plunge and compare Tombow vs Crayola. Is the quality difference there? Is it worth the price? Let's find out!

    Thanks so much for watching! Have you used either of these brands? Or a different water based marker brand? Want to see me try out Artist's Lofts attempt at a water based marker line? Let me know ;D Hope y'all have a great weekend c: Drink water! 🥤
  • @ninahahart5879
    I spy a familiar cute chatacters on your sketchbook cover ❤ Makes me smile everytime
  • @elizabethburch3619
    When you said you are using Crayola classic, are you saying you're not using the washable Crayola markers here? The Amazon link you have is the super washable kind, so I'm just curious.
  • @SangriaDracul
    You're so talented! I love what you did with both markers! And hey, I have that same notepad with the wanted poster of Jim Raynor! LMAO

    I've used staedtler watercolour markers but I realize now I didn't have any idea what I was doing - I liked what I made, but I could have been doing SO MUCH more. I've got a lot of crayolas for uh, reasons, and I'm surprised to find out they're a lot better than I was assuming they'd be. I'm excited to try them out with what I saw in this video! I'm primarily an alcohol marker user but the watercolour effects were so beautiful and look way more controllable than actual watercolours. (As an aside, your handle on reflections with the water was outstanding. Beautiful piece)

    I heart "Artist Loft" and immediately got the rage twitchies. :p (That said, their marker paper is actually half decent. Not quite as nice a blend as I can get on Strathmore, but it's half the price, so it's good for playing around on.) Thank you for another video! I have a few Tombow just for doing outlines and accents in my sketchbook, but I don't think I could stand to use them for a full piece. I'm too used to alcohol markers at this point.
  • @JadeWolfArtist
    Kingart has twin-tip water based markers too. You could give them a comparison/try. I found that brand at Walmart and is cheaper than Tombow if I remember.
  • @colettehorsburgh4043
    Live commenting - how can you have art supplies sitting for ages without even opening and swatching? Even when I know I won't get to them forever, I ALWAYS open and swatch. That second green looks like a teal. I like when there's a teal. Hey, that's my sticker!!! Boooo - all sets should have a purple. Duck! I don't really use water-based markers. Mostly cos they always pill for me. Maybe I should try blending it out with a water brush like you.

    There's cheap Chinese aplhabet soup name brands on Amazon that compare to the overrated and overpriced tombow. Not everyone can drop 25 bucks for 10 markers. Crayola beats that. They have adult coloring markers too
