@Lennon Nixon inknow you told me to wait a month to post that but i have to travle outta state so i did it at thw 1 week mark sorry
When doing layers best way to fill in the layers is to color lightly in opposite directions between layers it will give you more coverage in less layers, especially if using cheaper pencils when wax bloom will build up fast. Also using a solvent like mineral spirits will help blend smoother but also help break down the wax.
I can't tell you how instructional it is for me to see applications being used in real time. I understand the necessity for speeding up projects due to time. But I really like to see the techniques used to achieve the different results.
Very helpful, thank you.
I'm just starting to color again and I'm so glad I came across your channel. You're instructions were clear and you have the most calm voice. I may even listen to this when I'm struggling to sleep at night. Weird, I know. Lol! You should venture into making bedtime stories for insomniacs. 🤔
Normally I’m a watercolor artist but really wanted to expand my horizons! I received a artist quality set of colored pencils and was on the hunt for a good video instruction. I came upon yours and it was perfect! New subscriber
I like using cotton swabs to blend colour pencils too! I also recommend solvent (a nail polish remover works fine too!) for blending. I love how it makes everything look more saturated and smooth :)
Just stumbled on your videos. I love your technique and how you explain your methods. You also have a calming voice that makes it pleasant to keep watching
So glad you are back!
Thank you for the beginner videos. They are very helpful..
Thanks so much for the video and sharing your time 😊
Lovely!
Great tutorial - concise yet informative 🙏
Thank you. I learnt a lot.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Blessings and Hugs 🤗
Hey, can you put a playlist with a roadmap for beginners. I want to learn it from basics of coloring, layering, blending, shading, choosing palette
She has already done that. It's on her playlist under beginners.
Thank you!
Love your videos!
'im just starting to color and I'm so glad I came across your channel. brilliant,
I really love your channel 💜
Mulțumesc cu recunoștință
Very helpful.
That was very useful, thank you! 😁
You're welcome!
Ty very helpful
Great idea on cotton swab blending.
Glad you like it!
Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve used colored pencils for a long time and too often I find myself applying too much pressure. I think I will try taking a little break more often and have a cup of tea or something then return to the drawing.
This was so easy to learn thank you (also do you use prismacolour cause I do)
can I use diferent pallets on a picture? i.e. flowers? Use the same pallet on the entire page or have a variet;y. Love your videos and your voice. Thanks
Do you ever do any full length real time color alongs? I sm a new colorists. Thank you
Hi I am a new subbie I am learning to colour so I can illustrate my own calligraphy. I have got a couple of cheapish pencils sets, and water color pencils too, I have the Faber Farrell 120 sets of both watercolour and pencil, but only ever used them for illumination. So I am soaking it all up and loving learning a new skill.

Hello! Quick questions, please. I have a complete mish mash of colored pencils. Does it matter if I mix brands or types of pencils when layering---say a circle? Can I use.my water color pencils for a layer with the regular colored pencils? Lastly, do we continue layering if it isn't smooth after the 3rd layer? Thank you so much! I'm a beginner, obviously! Is the color blending chart you used available to us somewhere? I'm so excited to color tomorrow! I've been watching your videos, one after another tonight. It is 3am! Thank you, again! 💜

Love watching your videos. This is not related to this video, but I was wondering if you could recommend what kind of paper would you recommend for copying coloring pages onto using Prisma colored pencils to color with. Look forward to your next video.
Hello! I love Strathmore colored pencil paper - its my favorite for printing coloring pages. It goes well through my home printer, too. Love buying it at Michael's when I have a 50% coupon :) Good luck!
@@PencilStash Thank you.
what is the exact name of the paper pad you use. I ordered Bristol smooth surface but it is heavyweight. I want a Bristol sketch pad for color pencils. Thanks, Rachel
I know you say use a light touch when layering and I have followed so far and I'm 9 minutes in now and my paper is starting to look quite shiny and not absorbing color as well as yours. I have been pressing super hard with the cotton swab though and when it gets fluffy and mooshy, I obviously use a new one. You did not say what pressure to use. But for me, I'm thinking to get this picture blended. Am I doing it how you say or no? Btw thank you for the tutorial man. In the comments, people are happy with using "solvents" like nail polish remover. My page totally started to buckle majorly once it dried. Not such a good idea either.
Very nice voice.
I have A question. Pencil sharpeners. I need a good one. I've gone thru 2 prismacolor sharpeners and cheap everyday ones. Neither one gets my pencils sharp. Is there one you can recommend
@@christopherforeman1660 not an option
Look up T’GAAL ones on amazon or other angle adjusting sharpeners, otherwise unless using a razor the little all metal handheld cheap ones usually the most reliable.
@@somerandomviewer7803 I find the little all metal handheld one is the best for my pencils :)

Can I just do it for free
