You are a brilliant young lady. I'm 60 years old and put my artwork away 30 years ago. You actually inspired me to pick up the brushes and pencils again and taught me a thing or two. Thank you.
Hi,can you maybe help me?once I used baby oil,and another time I used a solvent,what I did notice was ,that they went through the paper and I saw it on the back of the paper?what am I doing wrong? I use Strathmore Bristol,smooth surface....
Hi Gina, I use Strathmore as well. I would recommend mixed media or a heavier weight paper though. I use small amounts of baby oil on a q-tip so as not to we the paper so to speak and just wipe softly. I hope this answer helped and thanks Kristy for allowing me to answer Gina's question.
Where is the “heart” button to click? Love, Love, Love this tutorial! Thank you, Kirsten. You are so generous and talented in arts and instructional design! You have brought joy to my life!
...This is just pure genius.. I was expecting just some random artist sharing his/her knowledge to the world but no.. You sound so professional.. Its like you trained to do this And those camera angles though.. Its like watching an episode of an art tutorial show of some sort on TV lol
Yes! As a watercolor artist - a lot of us prefer certain brands of "Blue Tack" type stuff. We also use Mr. Clean magic erasers for different applications.
Really! When I was younger I used to always break up my eraser by rubbing it on paper and then I get the little bits and when I mix them up they’re like kneaded erasers.
@ANVESHA GUPTA thanks! Our oven just broke and that means no cake, but I would love to spend time with my family and celebrate my birthday with them! :)
Dear Kirsty, I ❤️ all your art, you are an amazing artist 👩🎨 Thank you for sharing these tutorials. I’ve loved art in any way shape or form all my life. I have started back painting with watercolour since this depressing COVID-19 has taken over our lives, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel now 😊 🙏🏼 Take care.
Definitely had some ah ha moments from this video. Some of this techniques I already employ and love! Gods I couldn't live without my brushes and Exacto , but yes I definitely learned things from this Thank You!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I rarely comment on RUclips but I had to thank you for those videos, as I personally only watched two so far and I have already learned so much! I think the whiskers hack, and overall the knife hack are my favourites. I use pencils for my realistic portraits so all of those hacks will definitely come in handy. I always had a difficulty drawing those little stray hairs that make the whole drawing far more realistic so I'll try them out. I'm definitely subscribed and can't wait to see more of your videos 😊
I don't do much with my colored pencils, but I still love to come back to them for the pure joy of coloring. These tips are really helpful, even for amateur not-artist folks like me. Thank you.
My favorite was mixing different mediums for large areas. just joined Art Tutor and absolutely love your courses, very clear and easy to follow, did not cost much at all, worth every penny :) Thank you Kirsty
Awesome! It's been awhile since I was here. This was helpful and would love to see a part two. Will surely check out you portrait course. I really like the use of the tape. First time seeing it used.
This is FANTASTIC! I got a referral to this video from my dear friend, Sasha O’Hara, Queen of Snark. This is probably the best video I’ve seen for colored pencil hacks. Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to do this. ♥️
Draw the stick man. Then again. Then add details. Then make lots of very very shitty art until it gets to mediocre. Then make lots of mediocre art until it gets good. That's it.
I was going to look for hacks about drawing and when I went on RUclips this video was first on recommended! RUclips HAS A SECRET UPDATE O. READING PEOPLES MIND!!!!!!😂
Yes Kris, please make a Part 2 of this hack vid. My favorite hack was how to hold your pencil towards the end; basic but so noteworthy. While my second fav hacks were the transparent tape usages: to create whiskers/ images and to lift colored pencils... Definitely safer than the exacto blade. TFS!😘👍🏾
Really informative list, thank you , Kirsty. I will begin using some of them immediately. One recommendation I have is to SKETCH with a color pencil instead of a graphite pencil to avoid dark pencil lines altogether

Kirsty Partridge Art the scotch tape! Not lifting, I do that, but laying it down to etch in prior to laying down colour or even in the middle of layers! Genius!
Using another medium under the color pencil. I hate seeing the white under the color. Sometimes even burnishing doesn't get rid of all of it, & if I use too much solvent, it winds up just lifting & moving the color around, which is frustrating.
THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THE PEN TIP (FOR THE WHISKERS). Im just learning colored pencils but I didn't want to a knife for personal reasons so I really appreciate the work around!
I love your tip 12. I work in acrylics a lot and I buy large containers of the 5 basic colors in the 2 color wheels along with black, white, and pearl medium( for silver, gold, etc.). The only colors I can't make with these are neons/day glow (although my cyan/yellow green and magenta/yellow orange can be pretty obnoxiously bright) Pencils are pretty much the same. I really do encourage people to use both the standard red/blue/yellow color wheel AND the printers color wheel of cyan, magenta, yellow.(not necessarily in the same work) it's always fun for me to watch students play around and "oh and awe" at what they come up with.
My favorite hack is using other mediums with the colored pencils. I did this by mistake recently and kinda forgot about it, but this opened my mind up to the possibilities. I really learned a lot from this video, and I would love to see another!
Hey Kirsty. As always a video with super content 💪. Really helpfull 👍. Your sketchbook drawings also look amazing. What about doing a video with a sketchbook tour? Would love to see more drawings! Yours sincerly Lars (long time fan 🤘).
Another Hack video would be wonderful, you are a star. I loved this one as it was extremely informative. Thank you on behalf of myself and everyone else too!
Beautiful teaching . So sweet . The way you talk two thumbs up. Soft & quick very decent .... Some of girls I know talk like 10 row neighbours awaken from sudden sleep . Tq for teaching sis.
Was the video make specifically for me because.....THANK YOU! almost everything I have problems with while drawing is now solved, thank you again. I would love to see a part 2 (if you haven't already made it by now looking)
Excellent!! Thank you!! My favorite hack...well there were a few! Blending, mixed media & I love using different shades of paper. As a portrait artist I am highly interested in your course. Your portraits are beautiful! I look forward to trying more of ur hacks!♡
This is the first of your videos I’ve seen and it just caught me off guard on how much of an amazing artist you are when you were flipping through the mid toned sketch book...that’s all
Hi Kirsty! I have prismacolors now! Last time i drew green apple. If i didnt watch your videos, it will not look realistic. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING VIDEOS
Thank you so much for this very well put together video. Every tip is a lifesaver. I cannot thank you enough. I just discovered you and I will sign up for the longer tutorials.
OMG! Thank you so much, I normally use paints because I love how coloured pencils look like but, had to stop because of how they end up looking like, and paints where the only way to get my artwork to look really good!
Literally in the last half hour I have just tried to put a pastel pencil in an extender and it was too slim. You must be a mind reader, Kirsty. And why have I never heard of removing pencil with tape before? Great tip.
Thank you so much for those tips, i (like many others) would love to see a second part! your channel is a great finding for me today, please keep sharing your talents with the world.

You are a brilliant young lady. I'm 60 years old and put my artwork away 30 years ago. You actually inspired me to pick up the brushes and pencils again and taught me a thing or two. Thank you.
My favorite hack was a solvent. I use baby oil.
On what kind of pencils do u use it?
Nata Zara. Hi I use baby oil with colored pencils to blend out the color.
I use prismacolor colored pencils.
Hi,can you maybe help me?once I used baby oil,and another time I used a solvent,what I did notice was ,that they went through the paper and I saw it on the back of the paper?what am I doing wrong? I use Strathmore Bristol,smooth surface....

...This is just pure genius..
I was expecting just some random artist sharing his/her knowledge to the world but no.. You sound so professional.. Its like you trained to do this
And those camera angles though..
Its like watching an episode of an art tutorial show of some sort on TV lol
Love how you get right to business sharing good information without going on and on like some people do.
For the etching technique I also use a ballpoint pen which has ran out of ink and use colour pencil on top but loveee the video
I used my fingernail for creating the creases in the leather when I was drawing an old pair of ballet slippers.
I do the same thing
TIP!
If u don’t have a kneaded eraser u can use a piece of Blue Tack!!!!
Yes! As a watercolor artist - a lot of us prefer certain brands of "Blue Tack" type stuff. We also use Mr. Clean magic erasers for different applications.
Really! When I was younger I used to always break up my eraser by rubbing it on paper and then I get the little bits and when I mix them up they’re like kneaded erasers.
@ANVESHA GUPTA nice, my 12th b day coming up in less than a week! (Ruined by quarantine)
@ANVESHA GUPTA I don’t know weather to be happy that someone actually cares, or sad that it’s ruined now... lol
@ANVESHA GUPTA thanks! Our oven just broke and that means no cake, but I would love to spend time with my family and celebrate my birthday with them! :)
I've never seen a lot of these & I've seen a lot of these videos, plus my 40 yrs. of experience. Thank you! Very useful!❤
Wow! Your videos are looking sooooo professional. Like you have a camera crew in there filming. Great job!
I have really been trying to step up my video editing game so I’m really glad it’s showing. No crew, just me 😊💕

That's it.

Yes please Kirsty, I would love to see a paper 2 to this. As a beginner this was so useful. Thank you.
ruclips.net/video/JkZH4BHGpEI/видео.html👌.
Girl, you are gifted. I can only draw an average looking stick man and I still have to use an eraser...
Genius! Thanks so much for sharing, & I'd definitely be interested in a Part 2.

Yes, you don't use graphite with coloured pencil. It will dirty it and even stop it from getting in the paper.
Very useful tips! Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to use them!

Kirsty Partridge Art the one with the tape!!!❤Congrats for 300.000 subs!!!Also,can you do a tutorial how to draw side profile of a face?🙏❤
Kirsty Partridge Art the scotch tape! Not lifting, I do that, but laying it down to etch in prior to laying down colour or even in the middle of layers! Genius!
I love that when u Put tap to draw a heart
Using another medium under the color pencil. I hate seeing the white under the color. Sometimes even burnishing doesn't get rid of all of it, & if I use too much solvent, it winds up just lifting & moving the color around, which is frustrating.
Thanks! Possibly the most useful hacks in one video I have ever seen. The etching is my favorite!
congrats on 300K!! definitely going to have to try the tape with the pen to indent! I hate not being able to see where I have indented the lines
Excellent , I’d love to see more of these, I’d love to see more, really helpful!

Such great tips, thanks for sharing. Your artwork is amazing!
