Layering a complementary colour tonal drawing in coloured pencil
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Using subtle turquoise colours I draw a tonal underpainting that transforms normal reds into deep reds perfect for drawing cherries.
Please leave a message in the comments if you like this technique!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I used the following material to create the drawing:
Faber-Castell Polychromos
107, 121, 124, 142, 153, 154, 155, 156, 167, 226, 278
Holbein 011 Cherry Blossom
Luminance 001 White
Paper: Strathmore Bristol Smooth 400 series

Thank you for your videos that have been so helpful. I hope u continue to make more videos as well as gain more views!
That’s great thank you!!
wow...that's amazing . 22 hours..you have patience, i guess i will draw only one cherry 😅 thanks for sharing your technique.
Thank you 😀 I do need to speed up a touch! Good luck with your 🍒
@@CraigEarnshawArtnah! You good. I once made a horse portrait that took me forever!!!😂
@@sharonalicea7998😂 I imagine horses do take a long time to draw, what with the long face and all!
😂
@@CraigEarnshawArtNot really. Speeding up just adds to the possibility of either messing it up or it not looking right in the end. I haven’t gotten to where I am doing my own images yet, at least not really. I am working slowly that direction, by adding additional things to images by other artists, that have drawn them for colorists to color in. Yet despite that I color other peoples art work, I still want it to look as realistic as possible, for my skill level. I use lots of layers, regardless of whether I use Polychromos or Prismas and because of that, it still takes 15-20 hours at least to do an image. At least I do, if I want the best results possible. Once in a while I will do a “quick/easy/simple” image and just spend a few hours on it, but that isn’t the norm. Don’t sacrifice quality for quantity or because you think you are “too slow”. Think about how many hours a professional artist spends on images for customers. Just because our art isn’t necessarily for sale, doesn’t mean that we can’t spend the time to get it right. That is the difference between an amateur colorist and someone who is perhaps intermediate or more advanced, yet not necessarily a professional either. I have had in the past, colorists try to argue with me, that hobbyist colorists don’t need to use that many layers or spend that much time on an image, as if there are rules that we have to follow. I say, it is a personal decision, how far we want to take our skills….and who knows, 🤷🏻♀️ maybe those that were trying to argue with me, were simply jealous of those of us that took our time and thus got better results, knowing that they personally, do not have what it takes to color this way. I say, don’t change your way of doing your art, just to try and please someone else. Doing that will just bring dissatisfaction to yourself!
Another amazing piece! 🤎
Excellent video. Thank you.
You’re very welcome, thank you 😀
beautiful, honestly I find myself appreciating artistic liberties that are well executed rather than directly getting a photorealistic capture of the reference
Thank you, and of course I fully agree 👍🏻
Thank you
👋You're very welcome, thank you
Woooooow you are so talented !!!! Thank you for teaching us ! It is so beautiful!!!!!😍😍😍
You’re very welcome and thank you! ☺️
wow! you are some coloured pencil hero! :)
😁 hey thanks!!
Wow this looks amazing!!! Thankyou for sharing ur techniques. Keep the videos coming ❤
Thank you Lindsay!! ☺️
this is like the gresaille or vardaccio technique ...i love it. One thing about this technique it mutes the colors..to look more realistic
Indeed it does, thanks
Brilliant color choices for glazing. I may try this technique with my watercolors. Looks photorealistic to me, well done!
Thank you and yes please try!!
Thank you so so much for this. For showing what pencils you use, how long it takes and filming the entire process. Your videos are giving me courage to step up my own work.
Thank you Lina, I appreciate your support and comments, obviously for a new channel like mine every comment and like really does make a difference so thanks again!!!
Very interesting to watch your process. Beautiful drawing.
Thank you! Much appreciated 🍒
Beautiful!!!!!🎉❤ tnks for share! I appreciate it
👋 No problem and thank you!!!
Excellent, very life like I love it
Thank you very much 😃
Such a clever technique! I love your channel, keep these videos coming, please ⭐By the way, are the cherries farther away out of focus in the reference image? If so, you are a genius!
Hi Roberta, thank you! Let’s call the slightly out of focus look a happy accident 😀 thanks again
Maravilhoso ❤❤❤❤
Thanks 🙏
Amazing!
Gorgeous work! Definitely worth a sub from me! I've been thinking about drawing a ladybug. I'm trying to teach myself so youtube is invaluable. I enjoyed how concise your video was when talking about what you're doing. Very helpful!
Thank you and thanks for the sub!! Good luck on your coloured pencil journey!!
It's like verdaccio
Indeed it is!! 👍🏻
Oh wooooow😮
I like your style and am now a subscriber. At about 4 minutes, I was wondering how much real time you took with this drawing, and you answered that about half way. You mentioned that the paper you are using is not necessarily the best for the amount of layering you are doing here, and it sounded like you reached your maximum layers. If you were to choose a different paper for this same drawing, what would it be?
Hi Eileen, thank you very much for the sub, much appreciated! To answer your question I would say Saunders Waterford hp watercolour paper, it’s expensive for drawing on but can take quite a few layers and has a nice draggy feel to it which I appreciate. Thanks again!
is there a sample template i could practice with? I have minimal drawing skills
Hi Sherry, I’m not currently set up to offer templates yet, sorry about that. It’s something I’ll be looking to offer once my channel grows, thanks 😀
@@CraigEarnshawArt no worries guy,
