You should do what you feel... if you really needed to add the lines, you should've. You are the one creating the art, you are the one dictating when is done and how is done ;) :).
So...confession time... since january ii have purchased 30 small (3" x 3") to medium sketchbooks in all paper varieties...only 2 are large-ish ( 9 x 12)... in addition, sulphite paper, yasumoto stone paper. Japanese rice paper... and 8 other sketchbooks in use all at the same time ... what's my deal? experimentation & prolific ideas, collage and mixed media, gelli prints, zentangle, gouache...throw in some origami...ii figure art is my support & variety apparently is the name of the game...
Such a fun representation! 😅 I was entertained and educated at the same time! 10/10, Highly recommended ❤️
Really cool guest art!
I also like the detail work. It feels unfished to me, as well. But i love hearing you complain about it. 😇❤️😂
Suggestion for the bottoms of ceramic palettes: silicone adhesive dots. I got mine in a variety pack on Amazon and they work really well.
Thanks for the tip! 👍🏻
I'm gonna try I have some. I want the Derwent. I didn't know they had pencils. Pencils are my favorite so far.
They work very well together but I use the pencils more than the pans when I'm sketching. They add some color and they are very easy to travel with when using a water brush. 👍🏻
I have Faber Castell graphite Aquarelle pencils, they're the only ones I've tried but there's no color. I find it's more like a cross between pencil, charcoal and watercolors, I've done a few landscapes not sure about the paint.
I have some Derwent watersoluble graphite pencils as well. I have not tried the FC version but I do enjoy them. I use them very similar to these. 👍🏻
Very helpful video. Thank you !
Glad it helped! 🙂
Good Grief, what the heck is DeWert????? I meant Derwent. Crazy lady. 😂
It's just a cool nickname. 😂
I also follow what the paint shows me when I’m adding my ink. Thank you for making me understand that. I also have DeWert pencils…I like them quite a bit. Mighty Croaker! Thanks for another great one. You’re awesome.
Thank you Denise! Listening to the painting is one of the most fun parts for me. 🙂
My lack of favorites has caused me to amass a bit (or maybe more than a bit) of all kinds of mediums. I haven't tried too many brands, but I do have graphitint pencils and a 6 pan set. Like many others, they are my favorites when I'm using them😅. I love them for painting rocks (as in a painting, not painting an actual rock - I have poscas for that).
They are great for landscapes. I feel the same way about products. It's good. That way when I get into a certain mood I can pick up that medium and it feels inspiring again. 👍🏻
I wasn't even aware of graphic pencils other than regular pencils. I'll have to look into this. Thanks.
They are wonderful. Definitely a great deal if they are within your budget. 👍🏻
I love the the way the tinted graphite colors work. I do have the graphite watercolor pencils, which are nice, and have been looking at the Derwent graphitint w/c pans with avarice in my eyes… *sigh* There goes my budget. Again. *grin*
They are great. I think they have a set of 12 and 24. The 12 might be all you need unless you're like me and need the whole collection. Sometimes I am excessive. 🙂
@@IllustrationsByPete BTW, at first I thought you were making eggs Benedict, but I couldn’t figure out how you were getting the egg whites to stand up and be counted…! *Heh*
😂
I recently got the Derwent Line and Wash paint pan set, which has 6 Intense paints and 4 Graphitint colors, plus 2 permanent line makers. I'm glad you talked about what you like/not like, and I'm like you, I like what I'm currently using. But I think I've only used these once, so I'm digging them out again to give them more of a try. I'm really trying to not buy any more supplies until I use the mountain of things I do have. Thanks for the reminder!
I enjoy both the intense and graphitint. Every time I pick them up I get a new idea. 🙂 Yes, too many art supplies and too little time. 😂
Love these too and like you need to use them more. I have the pans. If you want more graphite tinted colours check out STAEDTLER Design Journey Tinted Watersoluble Pens, 12 pencils for less than 12 Euros here in 🇩🇪. Worthy complement to the Derwent colours, at an unbeatable price.
Thanks! I'll need to check them out. 👍🏻
Love, love, love graphitint. I have them all! I also have the Kuretake graphite pans and love them as well. I also have the 12-pencil Staedler water-soluble graphite pencils as their tones are a little different than the other two. Love the painting :) Happy Labor Day!
I just recorded a video last night comparing the Kuretake set with these. I have not seen the Staedler set. Something to add to the list. 🙂 Happy Labor day!
@@IllustrationsByPete Cool. And on the pic, I saw two cinnamon rolls!! LMAO
😂 could be.
Cool painting! I see the frog, but I also see rock formations on a plateau in the Painted Desert!
Oh, that's interesting. 🙂
Yes! My thoughts too! I was thinking Monument Valley, Arizona!
@@dustydesert1674 Yes, there too!
Oh man!!! I'm trying so hard to see the frog but I keep seeing some sushi rolls standing up! 😂
I like sushi. 😂
@@IllustrationsByPete Oh, then there's a clue! Your subconscious is telling you to fulfill your desire. Quick! Go n get u some sushi, boy! 😅
I may have to take that advice. 👍🏻
People around me know not to take me seriously when I claim something as my favorite because everything I'm enjoying in the moment becomes my favorite lol
The way it should be. 🙂
I have the pencils and the paint pans and YES! please Derwent. Bring us more Graphitint pan colors! We WILL buy them. I love them and the Inktense pans and pencils too. When I’m in the mood to draw and paint but don’t want to leave the couch, they’re my go-to medium. By the way, I was raised with a mom that preached “waste not want not”. So when I’m using the pencils, I sharpen them over a ceramic dish and wet the shavings with my brush. I like my art supplies, but I don’t waste them!
They tried to trick me and put out new packaging. The colors looked different so I thought it was the rest of the colors. It wasn't. Oh well, we'll need to keep complaining. 😂
@@IllustrationsByPete heh heh, THIS! 👆🏼
My favorite is whatever I am using at the moment.
That's a good way to look at it. 🙂
Thanks for the demo on these; had put some of the pencils into my small pencil case for travel and limiting my choices to build a sketching habit.
They are definitely one of my favorite things to sketch with. 👍🏻
I absolutely love the Derwent graphitint. I'm going plein air painting in the cemetery today and I'm using it. I thought it would be perfect for a scene like that.
That sounds like a great idea! They dry quickly too so it's good for outdoor painting.👍🏻
You are so fun to listen to 😊
Thank you! 🙂
I see 2 plates of biscuits and gravy
Could be. 😂
Graphite paint... pretty cool... I like the colours, how they look on the paper. Gives a new dimension to the drawing - nice! ❤
Yeah, these are fun. I highly recommend them if you enjoy using graphite. 👍🏻
I love your FROG'S HEAD 🎉🎉🎉 I have the graphitint pencils and enjoy using them... I get bored easily so ,like you, whatever I'm using at the time is my favorite!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this. Changing things up helps me to be inspired. It seems like when I walk away from something for a little while and then come back to it, I have so many more ideas on how I want to try to use it. 🙂
Cool piece Pete ❤ thx for sharing
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
This was very nice, the perfect little splash of Pete, so much fun. Yes, I can see the frog. LOL Thanks again!
Thank you, Linda! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
🤩🤩💕💕🥳🥳 Brilliant First time to your channel today and have subscribed. Everything you say here is spot on….exactly right . Loved your dry humour at the end….am from the UK and that’s what we love 🤣🤭😂
Welcome to the channel! I'm glad you enjoyed this. 🙂
I am currently obsessed with acrylic markers. I have been thinking of painting an overdrive pedal I built. That was a nice looking pedal. How does it sound?
Thank you! It's like a boost fuzz pedal. The quirk knob is interesting. Turning to the right gets brighter but also adds some drive. Turning to the left makes it smoother but also cuts some of the gain. That's strange because it's a transistor circuit and usually more bass adds more gain. This one works in reverse. I'm not sure where you are on building pedals but I'm fairly new to designing them. It's a blast. Go for it. If you end up painting it, I'd love to see what you create. Email is listed in the description. 👍🏻
This video has really helped me differentiate automatic drawing and doodling. Then I guess the surrealist artists were actually doodling with subconscious ideas?
You got it! 👍🏻 A lot of people argue with my idea on these two concepts but this is how it makes sense to me. It is a confusing subject. Glad it helped you! 🙂
You are hilarious. I love your random chatter and disrespect towards “rules”. It took me awhile to learn that, but now I completely agree! Fun video! And I love your wife’s work! You should highlight her on a video!
Thanks. I tried, she won't do it. I will feature some more of her work. She does amazing pieces. 🙂
You are hilarious. I love your random chatter and disrespect towards “rules”. It took me awhile to learn that, but now I completely agree! Fun video!
Hi! I'm glad I could make you smile. 🙂 Eventually it's almost like an exhaustion response. No more rules, I'm trying to have fun! 😂
Have the same set. The flap on mine is fine. With those wrapping stickers, I just peel them off carefully and put them on the bottom of the pan.
Yeah, I have had a few pan sets that are fine and some are not. It's a common thing. No big deal. 👍🏻
I'm not a marker person- the scratchy sound drives me crazy. But I do watch your videos. You always make something interesting to look at. Could never use these markers. Had some kind of weird sensory overload from the colors and the small pattern on them. When the camera showed the pile at the top of the screen I had to look away. Probably a left over from my hippie days.
Could be. Thanks for the support! 👍🏻
You inspired me! I have a whole tin of paint markers I have never used, and some plain birdhouses I bought to paint and just never did. Thank you! 😊🪺
I'm glad you feel inspired! That's why I do these. 🙂
Actually, I’ll go you one farther-your ‘there are no rules in art (sort of…)’ is actually a life lesson for a creator in *any* line. For instance, I love creating Renaissance garb (The Arbor Consort is our madrigal grouip), but actually sewing the pieces together isn’t the fun part. The fun part is adding beaded embroidery, applique, piping, and other trim by hand! So I guess I don’t just “make” garb, I create the magic for display on our persons. It is soooo fun to draw outside the lines! I enjoyed listening to your ramble!!
Thank you Anna! That sounds very creative. 🙂
😂 LOL LOL LOL
Oh my goodness! Your wife is a treasure! The clock is amazing!
She sure is. She can do anything. 🙂
@@IllustrationsByPete Awe, tell I said she is amazing!
I sure will. Thank you! 🙂
So, I have that same set of paint markers you have. They work great! Although I don’t reach for them much, I like having them for certain art projects. In regards to Posca, I don’t feel the need to have them instead. For one simple reason, for me. They look fat and unwieldy, too fat for a marker for me. I don’t know if they have any skinnier versions for those of us requiring that, but I think Posca would do themselves a favor by having a skinnier offering. Surely I’m not alone in this?
Their extra fine tips are thinner. More like sharpie size. Those are the ones I use the most. Paint pens are fun all around. 🙂
@@IllustrationsByPete oh wow, I didn’t know. I’ll check it out!
Great discussion topic. I’m fairly new to the RUclips art scene: it’s helpful to hear a no BS lay of the land from someone who’s been involved with it long enough to know what’s what. Much appreciated. P.S. Taylor who? 🙄🥱🫠
Thank you! 🙂 P.S. 😂
Their shouldn't be so many rules in art. Painting is putting down color on a substrate, it's really that simple. If you paint a tree, you aren't painting a tree, you are adding color to the limbs, to the trunk, to the leaves, the fruits if it's a fruit bearing tree, etc... No need to be so rigid in art, unless you are a master, then I understand the necessity for all the rules since so many people will be judging your art. For us regular people who enjoy creating art, it's all about creating our own works of art, creating our own rules, no need to explain why we did this or that but society in general has become this way. We always need to explain everything we do, as if we are kids, pffff! Unless you are baking food, you need to follow the recipe. Unless you are working in a lab, you need to measure to make sure you don't blow up a building somewhere because you are a rebel and refuse to follow rules, I say, get your paints or whatever you chose to create with that day and HAVE FUN! Have people forgotten how to have fun nowadays! I always love watching or listening to your videos.
Thank you! I agree. If you aren't having fun, you're doing it wrong. That's the only rule I have for myself. 🙂
Great review, super helpful. Thank you! 😊
I'm glad this helped. 🙂
I’d bet you like Caravaggio too!
I have to look into it. I'm sure I will from what others are saying. 👍🏻
❤ I love almost all art supplies. The only thing I’m not keen on trying so far is oil based stuff.
You can give water mixable oils a try. I use them on occasion. They clean up with water instead of using harsh solvents and once the water evaporates from the paint they are normal oils. Very interesting. 👍🏻
I love the PR206 too. It used to be known as madder brown Inn W&N. It's gorgeous. It is being replaced by the preylene pigment as it disappears. I've got a few extra tubes to keep me going. You can still find it among some other artists paint manufacturers, and I think DSmith still stock it for now.
It's a great pigment. I'll check DS. I like the perylenes also but there is something special about PR206. 👍🏻
As someone who also tinkers with electronics, I totally get how it is almost always my fault. It's probably Always my fault 😅 In our defense, humans are jittery and moist and it doesnt mix with electronics well
That is very true. 👍🏻
Mrs. Illustrations! That clock is STUNNING 🤯🤩 That intricacy is amazing and it's soo pretty! Also I love your mutual space, it's very similar to mine and my partners ❤
She does amazing work. I'll have to show some more in another video. That space definitely works for us. We have something similar in the studio but we share this space more often. Thanks Becky! 👍🏻
