 Hey That was bad. Hi everybody. My name's Steph I'm the average artist you may or may not know that but today we're gonna be reviewing this upgrade box that they kindly sent me just cuz They they wanted to Because they wanted to get it reviewed this is not an ad They've just sent me this which you know, I'm actually kind of in this whole YouTube game Content creator for the free art supplies, but just keep that quiet Maybe send me anything anymore. So do I all right. So here we go. We've got this This is a pretty number 31 Ignore this stain. This was an upgrade. This just don't look at it What I really like is this detail with the little key Not key keyhole keyhole. That's what my god my brain So it says cast off and loosen the lines, which I'm not gonna show you because my address is on the back it just says Open it here and then hopefully we can just Okay, it's time for art. I Like this. I like this a lot. I don't think I've ever been sent anything by upgrade before which is kind of exciting So let's see what we have in here weird supplies inside Okay, there's some magazines as well some stickers Very nice. We lost the stickers. What's this? 80% 80 Okay, thanks. Thanks for that. I guess random auto post issue 17 and Art space magazine. Oh It's a sketchbook Speaking as a magazine Dumb, okay. I think this tells me what is in there. So I don't look yet. I'll just leave those There for now. We've got these stickers Which look really cute. I like that style. It's quite fun Upcrate my weird art. That's a cool. You get like a print as well. Yulia or Luba, I don't know if that's her Instagram tag or not or if that's just What we're calling this crate. So anyway It's kind of cute. All right, let's open it Weird art supplies aside. I was kind of scared me because what do you mean? And we're gonna like it. Oh My god, you get a lot of stuff actually What? I'm gonna say I'm gonna look up how much is okay. So I just look this up and it's 24 euros for a box which would be about 22 pounds probably about $30 not sure don't quote me on that On that exchange, okay, so you get a Vango watercolor Indigo Van Gogh watercolor Yellow ochre very nice And a mango turquoise turquoise green Then you get I'm just shocked by like the The amount you get We're not even just saying that because I know some people are like You get something you're like, wow, it's amazing like They big it up. But honestly, I think this is a lot for your money if that makes sense like graphic pencil, okay not so Look at this crazy art supplies a pencil What's this this is like calling to me extinguishing solution for brush pen and ink removes non-permanent inks on paper mixed media or watercolor papers are best suited it can take a few seconds take the color Okay Can be painted over after so this gets rid of ink on paper apparently Well, I'll believe it when I see it You get these Ecoline Ecoline, I don't know how to say Ecoline Kind of sings sounds like I'm saying Ecoline Ecoline brush pens which look Pretty nice to me. I feel like you get them in a similar color that the watercolors are So like an ochre a yellow and orange and blue and a black which is going to be nice to use Not sure how to use them together. I get a Micron pen with archival ink Which is kind of cool and it's micro pigment ink for waterproof and fade proof lines So as you guys will probably know microns are Waterproof so you can use them and then paint over with I Want to say with watercolors, which is pretty handy and now look as well. We get a Da Vinci Do we is there something in here a Da Vinci? Brush, which is looking nice. It's I don't know. I've never Really rated Da Vinci super high. I think they're okay But a lot of people I've seen people be like wow Da Vinci So I don't know. Maybe I'm just haven't used it, right? Vegan, which is very good. I like that bubble bath. Okay, great That is actually quite a lot of stuff for your money So I guess we're gonna use this sketchbook that they gave me. I mean It would be rude not to write With monsters I've seen so far. Okay, so this is how our again, you know It is you later, right? Oh I see so you can do some cool stuff with these Brush pens and then just mock them out. Oh, so it gives you the price of each thing So this is six euros fifty Okay, so these are about three euros each Because your college are all the ones available, please ignore my cats They I don't know why but they've decided that this is hyper time This micron pen is six three or a sixty and the paints are about four euros. So is that right? Okay, that's pretty cool So it does give you a rundown of how the savings that you've made which is pretty cool But I guess the the downside is you do get like random supplies Guess you could go on their site and look what the old crate is and maybe order that if you wanted to Guess you can send in your photos of what you've done and they might feature you in the magazine Which is nice. I like that about like seeing what people will do and a bit of a community going on It's nice like what we like to see isn't it? All right So let's get down to using the surprise huge fan of using pencils anymore or just like to sketch out stuff. So Yeah, I don't know. I think I prefer just going in with stuff, but For the sake of the art box, we will go for it. So I'm really enjoying painting cats and painting them like window sales There's like a whole trend of them on Pinterest if you're interested to go and see I'm just gonna sketch out roughly where I want if you don't like cats. I'm afraid you're in the wrong channel Here's all I will say. Okay. I'm just roughly gonna draw this out Okay, let's just try the do you mind It's like a tune now. He's gonna be out all the time I'm gonna try the Brush pens down here and do it some swatches down here and see what it's like This paper is really nice. It's quite thick. So it will be nice to paint on and use mixed media on I Never I think I've never used these. Oh, I do not like that yellow that yellow is bright Might make a good contrasting color though. So maybe we can like it blue You can kind of like mix them a little bit which is kind of interesting Nice, okay, cool. Yeah, like them the black See, I like these pens. They're pretty cool Going down really nice They're kind of like Oscars, but with watercolor if that makes sense Is it water color? Feel like alcohol markers to me A bit completely wrong you can look it up in the leaflet, but I'm too lazy I'm sure people in the comments will shout at me what it is You don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I never use these before chill out Can you tell that I'm a bit obsessed with cats Can you right? I want to see if we can use this So let's try that out because it did show me in the I did not I was not ready for that I have a brush on it. So I just kind of like bent it out of the the pot But oh well, it showed me in the leaflet that you can just erase it with this That's kind of cool with the with the pen Yes, did you It's really cool with the Ecoline Pen you can just erase stuff that looks kind of interesting. It's kind of a really deep color, right? So Let's see what it does Let's do a square there as well Okay, it doesn't like using the pens on the paper. You have to be a bit careful wait for it to dry. Don't be like me See what I'm doing and do the opposite basically just don't follow my lead at all This is like a warning video. So if you see this video and you you decide what the heck is she doing? There you go. I've helped you Oh Let's make a cat blue because why not because I can I'm gonna Make him yellow first See a difference Let's use the block on this even though Even though he disappears into black. That's like sad stuff. You're doing it wrong Don't care Regret that you were right guys. I was doing it wrong Looks too chunky now. All right, well then now I need to commit to the outline of all of them Please just ignore the cat in the background meowing. He's totally fine. He just wants to go outside. He's not allowed Because he is under a careful eye He is a flight risk, so he cannot leave Last time he left he ran away. We had to go around all the gardens and be like I need my cat back Okay, so Yeah, not liking this illustration that I've done, but You get the idea of the arts lawyers You get the idea It's kind of cute. I'm kind of regret doing like this thick line, but oh well Yeah, so bear in mind if you do use this Marker it's completely thick Let's see if it's gone through the page a little bit where I've used the um The brush X whatever this is called and then reapplied it's gone through a little Let's see the colors. I don't really need to test the wall colors. I kind of know what they're about. I've had them before so let's just Drive into doing Okay Okay for my next drawing I'm gonna be adding These two colors from my liquid tech watch just because there's no white and there's no reds so I cannot make Pink or any Of the colors I enjoy So I'm joking But I do love me some pink. Okay guys, that is it. That's the final image. I really like it I really liked using the equal line paints and mixing them with the watercolour paints like getting that texture and just mixing it up and making some really nice Textures here. I found that really fun and yeah, I'm glad that you use the base coat of the pink. So I really like the way that it shows through the different Cactuses Yeah, I really like this image and I think that's really cool Thank you for upgrade for sending me this spot. Definitely check them out if you're interested guys They're pretty cool. I think it's worth your money The only downside is obviously you don't know what you're gonna get so you don't know if you're gonna enjoy the art supplies That you receive, but if you like trying out loads of different stuff, it's definitely worth giving it a go just for fun So that's it.
