Beautiful drawing and beautiful bird! I love how you use colors. You make it look so easy! I drew a friend's Macaw and said never again on birds, but you are making me want to jump in again 😊
Thanks so much! I have been drawing my whole life so I have definitely gone through projects that were super challenging and made me feel any to quit. I hope you give this tutorial a try and don’t give up. If you do try it out. Post it in my Facebook group and I would be happy to give you some feedback! 😁thanks for watching and reaching out
@@LanaGloschatArt Thank you Lana. I really hope I'll be able to do it justice. Like you I've been drawing all my life although mostly in graphite. I ended up quitting due to a toxic relationship that knew what buttons to push to hurt me. I decided to start trying again in 2000 but this time I'm on borrowed time. I have an Autoimmune disease that is slowly destroying all my joints and my hands are pretty shaky. No time like the present to try again
@@laureendavis2369 im rooting for you!!! as you explore I encourage you to open up to different art media (artist crayon, paint markers, etc)and approaches. Realistic pencil drawing might be too demanding for shakey hands sometimes. Have you seen this video? ruclips.net/video/YI4s1fhf4cg/видео.html
Thanks so much! I ended up adding a shadow but kept the background stark white. Sorry for the super late response.

Thanks so much fior doing a bird, just like you said you would not that long ago! Very timely, I'm halfway through the base layer of my own first bird!
Thanks for watching and for your support. Be sure to share a picture in the critique group of your finished bird or share on Instagram! I’d love to see it!
have you considered listing the specific colored pencils colors you mentioned/used in the video in the video caption? i know you edit the video to show the pencil colors but having it in one list in the caption would be super helpful:) this is something i would greatly appreciate as i try to figure out what colors i should purchase out of the sets! i apologize if you have started doing this in future videos just thought i would mention it! all in all i want to thank you for being such a huge help in my pet portrait journey!!
Stunning! I agree with others, I don’t think you need a background, but maybe a hint of cast shadow to anchor the bird. Very interested to see you use just the lightfast pencils, I tend to use them in conjunction with my Polychromos, using the lightfast for the first layers then using the polys to blend and glaze. I’ll have to be brave and try using just the lightfast! Thank you for sharing! 😊
This was so helpful and the piece is beautiful. I am so that person who gets overwhelmed with the entire reference, I will try to keep your words of wisdom in my head😣. I don’t think you need to do anything to the background if that was your intention, but maybe a light shadow to show where the ground is, if you wanted to add a bit more 🤷♀️ I appreciate you and your channel I’m so glad to have been introduced to you 🥰
Thanks so much! I’m glad to hear it was helpful, and I hope when you have some time you give the project a shot and let me know what you think… maybe you could share your process/thoughts on your channel!!! :) Thanks for your support and for being here!

Craft contouring? Hmmm.. I am only one person, but it sounds intriguing to me…could be wrong, but I *think* I may use it a bit myself, if it is what I think it is, but not 100% sure. Would like to see more about it, to know for sure or to possibly add it to my “tool box”, if not. As for doing a background on your bird: for me I always say, if your subject/image is basically darker, then you need to go with a lighter color background. If your subject/image is lighter in colors, then you need to go with a bit of a darker background. This is to keep your subject/image the focus, but you already probably already know that. So, if you you do anything, would say either a light colored background or possibly doing just a little bit of shadow work, to make it pop. The decision of course is yours.
It’s actually called “cross contouring” and it is very likely something you do a bit already. It’s all about using the direction of your mark to mimic and illustrate the volume of the object. Thanks for your feedback about the background. I do think something light and subtle would be best!
Yes i would put the shadow because i feel it would kinda ground it better. But just my opinion. Luv your work and the way you teach . So glad i found your chanel. 😊😊😊

Hi Lana . Love your drawings 👍I am very interested in doing birds and flowers preferably colourful ones. Love what you are doing here. Could you tell me please do you have any classes where you teach those subjects as well. I have been drawing for a while now and have the basics and not to bad at drawing but haven’t had much experience with my first love birds and flowers. Hoping you can help .Di.🥰
Thanks so much. I don't currently have a course dedicated to drawing birds/flowers, but I do have a course called "Introduction to Classical Colored Pencil Painting" and it focuses on the basics of value, composition, and color mixing. There is a free trial of the course here: courses.lanagloschatart.com/courses/introduction-to-classical-colored-pencil-painting
Your White-faced Ibis drawing is spectacular, Lana! You really captured the iridescent, colorful nature of its feathers. Fantastic use of glazing and blending. I love the stark white background you are using. You could always add a cast shadow which would transition to the bird's foot if you wanted. I am hosting the Favorite Bird Art Challenge and hope you will participate. You would be a great addition.
@@LanaGloschatArt Lana great! I have a short 3 minute vid on my page with all the details you will need. If you need to upload earlier than March 10th or later than March 10th, no problem as we have several artists who have already uploaded and some who won't upload theirs until mid-late March. We have a lot of painters participating but in my opinion not enough colored pencil artists. You would be excellent
The scary thing is the background. I don’t want to colour it but I don’t want it white. I try filling with watercolour pencils but I don’t know if I like it
I typically just share reference photos in courses. This tutorial includes the photo reference side by side with the drawing and I intended to have artists following along use the reference in the video. Watching on a bigger screen (desktop/ipad) can help.
That is absolutely stunning! The shading and detail are perfect. A joy you listen and watch you work!

looking at then end result i thought it was a pastel pencil drawing. very good layer build-up.
Thanks so much. Do you do lots of pastel?
It’s perfection. I love the white bg. I see Audubon. Any other bg will detract from the virtuosity of the patterns and colors.
Thanks so much! I ended up adding a shadow but kept the background stark white.

Shadow and second leg.
