ArtSnacks Reviews

ArtSnacks was a great help to my practice this month. At first, I wasn’t super excited with the assortment because it felt a little, well, graphite/lead-heavy, but actually using the pencils themselves won me over. Sometimes, even I need a little push to get back to basics! I also enjoyed the pop of red from that really fun acrylic ink and gold dot pen which made me smile the entire time I had it in my hand. Month after month I love this subscription and find it a lot of fun!

ArtSnacks was a little green and monochromatic this month, but I really enjoyed this. I really love green and especially silvery and minty greens, so it felt like this assortment was made just for me. I have enjoyed using the grey pens as well for general sketching or more serious line work. The only thing I didn’t love this month was the calligraphy pen, but that is just a personal preference rather than an insight into the quality of the item itself. I know all of you talented hand-letterers out there will make much better use of it. It has been a weird month for me filled with some personal loss and just that nagging feeling of there never being enough time. It felt good to open this box and force myself to sit down and just use the tools inside. As someone who really can’t sit still long enough to meditate or even think sometimes, art supplies have always been a source of calm to me, and this month delivered. 

ArtSnacks is always a box I am so excited to get my hands on! My obsession with pens, markers, paints, and pencils literally knows no bounds. Somehow, even month after month, this box continues to deliver things that excite me and make me so excited to face a blank sheet of paper. I loved the color selection I received this month (colors are random, so sometimes it isn’t this colorful!) and had a really fun time testing them out and sketching.
