      Excellent tutorial. My kids learn a lot from your videos. You did not mention the paper grade which would also make a difference. No?

    My family and friends keep belittling me whenever I start colouring. They thought it's only for kids. But I understand that not everyone understand the joy of colouring and making arts. 😃
    I came from a poor family. We can't afford coloured pencils back then when I was at school. I'm glad I can now channel my inner love for arts today. Thanks for producing this video to guide clueless newbies like me. 😃😃 Keep on doing this. 😀

    OKAY couple things
    1. You explain things SO well. usually when i watch tutorials the artist does not explain at all what they are doing and leave me more confused than when I started
    2. your voice is so soothing this made it so much nicer to listen to

    I am an author/illustrator, and I had originally started my work with colored pencils. I switched to digital because I didn't like how my art looked when I scanned it. But recently, I've started to realize that there was nothing wrong with my work, just with my scanner! I'm definitely switching back to colored pencil! Your video made me remember that I love my own work, and never should have drifted away from my own style! Thank you so much!

    This is probably my favorite video because it covers the basics of how to color and add depth and character to your coloring. I have colored all my life, but this month just started to try to blend, layer, and advance my coloring. Your videos have helped me a lot! I am doing the giveaway and did share this on my pinterest page, where I have a few other good friends who love to color too!! Thanks so much for posting these tutorials! I really appreciate them!!

I just started and am so excited about it, I find it very relaxing and enjoyable and it helps with my depression and anxiety. Joined your facebook group, nervous to show my work but I'll enjoy getting tips!!!

  • @Njrmusicenterprises
    @Njrmusicenterprises 4 года назад

    Clear, concise explanations with excellent visual demonstrations. This video has been immensely helpful to me as I am just getting back to drawing after about 50 years (mostly did cartoons at that time) and never used colored pencils before (always either B/W pencil sketches or filled in with marker - which, along with water color I do not like). Although I have stumbled onto each of your main points as I have been drawing, I didn't understand how to properly execute any of the techniques. I simply did things trial and error. Your explanations have put things into perspective. I really enjoy using colored pencils so now knowing the proper how-to will definitely help. Thanks!

This tutorial was very simple and to the point, so I thank you again!

    Sometimes I have to look at my artwork to remind myself of how good I really am at coloring but for some reason I continue to look up techniques to make my work better trying to make it better.I layer my colors sometimes and instead of shading from light to dark. I shade from dark to light because it takes entirely to long to go over one spot 5 to 6 times. Everyone's work is different. My coloring is beautiful.

    Great video. I'm just starting out with my art work as therapy for mindfulness and I absolutely love it. I started with colour markers and then glitter gel pens, which I love to use on their own or combine the two. I have just purchased my first set of coloured pencils and have gone for Arteza which I bought from Amazon at a great price. I went for these over the Prismacolour due to the fact that they seem to be selling a lot of fake pencils and have read loads of reviews about the Arteza pencils saying how good they are for a more budget pencil. Can't wait to get them and start colouring!

    Colorless blending pencil -- "5:44." Thanks for this info, PencilStash.
    In my years of drawing, I have never used a colorless pencil, &, frankly, I have either been totally unaware of such, or just never paid it that much attention whenever I may have encountered it in the past. Thanks again.

Can't believe one of my pictures was chosen to be in this one of yours.......guess my learning is starting to show. (FYI: yes you did pronounce my name correct). Thanks for the time you spend in helping/teaching and/or advising others in expanding our coloring ability.
