MIDNIGHT BLUE + APPLE GREEN = DARK GREEN
It was a very useful sharing. The leaf looks very realistic. I am also thinking of drawing flowers in the future. My "Apples" drawing has just been finished. Colorful work is very enjoyable. It was a very nice work. Thank you for your effort🌺🍀🌿
Thank you, I'm glad you found this helpful :)
Hello, it’s very easy to grasp the knowledge the way you teach it. So thank you, love the way you educate. Can you also teach human anatomy if that’s something that you can :) would be so so helpful! TIA
HI Ridhii, thank you so much!
This video helped me a lot. Thank you and love you.❤
Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful
Thank you!
@prerna, Are you using a drawing compass as calipers? Or do they just look very similar? Great tutorial! Thank you so much!
Hi Amanda, so this is technically not a drawing compass since there is no place to attach a pencil to it. Here in India, we use this tool specifically for measuring. And thank you for watching the video. I am glad you found it helpful :)
Wonderful. But the actual tint hasnt come through Prerna ...why not ?😊
Prerna, i absolutely loved your tutorial. It was simple,real & very detailed. Each colour was described & the reason for using it too. I learnt someone. Thank you . Will look up your other videos. Is there one on creating contrasts & interest while colouring botanicsls ?
Thank you so much Seema! I don't have a specific video like that at the moment :)
I've been stumped while trying to draw yellow flowers- I couldn't figure out how to give them proper contrast between petals without adding some unnatural border. This showed me exactly what I needed to know, and was so helpful- thank you!
I'm glad this was helpful. Thank you for watching
Love this video, it inspired me to have a go. I discovered that for a learner I'm actually reasonably good at drawing fish! Maybe it helps that I've been drawing the type of fish I used to catch when I was younger. I've been drawing them on plywood which gives them a different look.
Very good video, just what I needed. Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you for watching!
@@prernadraws You are ever so welcome!
Hi Prerna, Wow, you are so honest about your journey and your progress is amazing!! Are you in touch with John Muir Laws Nature journaling?? He wd love your work!!!
Thank you so much for watching! I do follow his work and his book is a delight (and inspiration) to flip through :)
would you ever do a poppy? dying to find a good tutorial for one. :) this was great!
Hi Paige, thank you for watching the video! As you can tell, I am not currently uploading any videos on my channel :( but whenever I am back, I will keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you again
@@prernadraws All good - I didn't really look at the dates on each video as I am not concerned about recent or not, was just interested to ask. No worries if you're not doing it anymore.
I think your great I love drawing leaves and ocean wildlife

I am struggling as to what paper to use with coloured pencils - can you help
Hey Jackie! I've made a video on the papers I use - you can find it on my channel. The short answer is that I prefer the Strathmore 300 Bristol for most of my work. Sometimes I might also pick the Fabriano Artistico hot pressed
Very, very impressive. The shadow and light effects, the shade of brown, the... likeness ! So cool ! I can't understand you have only 700 sub. I wanna share it, and hope you'll win more views, because artists deserve to be see.
Thank you so much Joris
I just got into colored pencils because of feeling defeated with water colours! So happy to find your channel. I am currently with steadler Luna water colour pencils but am now feeling inspired to possibly get an upgrade:) please continue sharing tips!
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for watching
Very helpful. Thank you!
So glad to hear that!
Thanks for sharing this Prerna. This gives a sense of the amount of work that goes into working with colour pencils. Would love to know how you decided on choosing colour pencils as your medium of choice.
Hi Aditi! Thank you for watching. Honestly, I think I’ve always gravitated towards dry media. I did give watercolors a try, but when I picked up pencils, it was like a feeling in my bones that said this is the medium for me 😄 I like the control that dry media gives. Watercolors are a bit too uncontrollable for me.
Nice class! Thank you!
Thank you for watching! :)
Thanks for sharing your sketchbooks Prerna. It requires a lot of courage to show all your work, even things you do not particularly. But your journey gives me hope. There are so many times i feel confused about the way ahead and it's good to know I am not alone.
Thank you Aditi for watching. It’s quite normal to feel this way, just keep at it and you’ll have clarity as your work progresses ❤️
Mam please make more video like this.. and also make how to use watercolor for botany illustrations.. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you Sanjana for watching! I’ll keep your suggestions in mind for upcoming videos
@@prernadraws thank you mam🙏🏻
Hi prerna...lov yur art.. Plz tell what paper I can use for pencil drawing bec Strathmore Bristol is realy expensive for beginners.. Thanx
Thank you Shyril! I would suggest that in the beginning you try with any local made drawing file. The paper won’t be able to take many layers but it’ll be good enough for practice and help you in improving your work.
@@prernadraws thanx for yur kind info..
Thank you, Prerna. I loved seeing your sketchbooks, and I now feel less guilty about all the things that I have started and never finished😉 Thank you also for all your coloured pencil videos which I am gradually working through and learning from - you are a great teacher.
Thank you so much Jill! I am so glad to hear that 😍
Thank you Prerna, this is very helpful for my botanical drawings. Could you demonstrate how to measure a simple flower next. Many Thanks.
I’m so glad to hear that. I’ll keep your suggestion in mind when I’m planning for my next video :)
@@prernadraws Thank you.
your videos are very helpful. thank you. I am just starting in colour pencils.
Thank you Deepti, I’m glad you found this helpful
Beautiful artwork.
Love this flower thankss
