It turned out Amazing!!! I think the Gesso helped with the textures in the background but I do think it would have made you main characters easier to work with without the gesso. Also have you ever tried using an xacto knife for hair? Do the exact technique that you did and when finished lightly scrape back the pencil in the direction that the hair if flowing and it will take up some of the pencil to reveal tiny hair like marks. It really makes a big difference and its pretty quick. You can then go back and add some highlights and lowlights in areas for finishing touches. Ok I am done now haha. 🤣🙌✌
I tried the knife trick once and couldn’t get it to work. But I know exactly what you mean and I’ve seen other pencil artists do it beautifully! I’ll get it right at some point 😜
Yes it didn’t bleed through because of the gesso! 😄 definitely try another page with regular gesso, it will still feel textured, but more like it’s been sanded lightly rather than actual rough sandpaper. Can’t wait, this page was gorgeous
Loved this one, especially your comment at 7:30, "Let's be fearlessly creative together!". It should be on a shirt or poster. Thanks for another awesome video!
I am only halfway through but so far the texture actually looks really cool on the background items, such as the trees and other landscaping. You are making it look easy if you are really struggling with the texture. Excited to see the end result!!
Wow. Thanks for sharing. I would really like to see a boring colouring page. The way you know that it will turn out its best. At least for 1 of these pages. They are so beautiful. The bonus is we get to how it turns out in comparison to your experiments. Love you, love your channel, love this video. Thank you for uploading a video. I keep searching to see if I missed 1 of your videos. However you never disappoint. I always end up learning something new and enjoying watching you make beautiful art.
❤️ the way you encourage people to not fear making mistakes with there own art and that we all are at different stages. Myself I'm just getting back into drawing after years and really enjoying your marker an coloured pencil videos as that's what I'm using. So thanks again for a great upbeat and supportive vidoe🙂
You are so inspiring to me as an amateur artist! I appreciate that you don't just focus on the physical tips and tricks, but also share help for the mental aspects of art, too
I really appreciate your reminders that skills take practice to learn and to master... I've struggled with taking on tasks that I fear I won't be good at right away because I'm afraid of failing/not being good/good enough at something. I would love to be able to color the way you do and its always such a good reminder that it takes time and practice and repetition and even after hundreds of hours... thousands of hours... no one is perfect and there's always room to grow and learn. It's so applicable to so many things. I honestly keep coming back to your videos for your attitude and outlook more than anything. :)
You could also sand your page with a nail sand block. Glad you did this though, experiments are always worth it. I also use Daniel Smith transparent watercolour ground when using wet mediums in a book.
This turned out amazing! With all these Disney videos, you made me want... better, NEED to get this book (or the other version, also fine...). I'm not a professional, but drawings are something that always made me feel happy. I'm really in the mood of taking this challenge! I just love to watch your videos, makes me relax and want to do art the whole day 💖
@thefrugalcrafter has a video on her channel where she primes a sketchbook page with gesso, the image of plums comes out looking like pastel, but it's chromaflow pencils.
I just watched the first 15 seconds of this video. Somehow you manage to say the most relatable thing I have heard in a long time. That is literally me every time I start something new
Hey Sarah, Some video ideas: 1. Colour using one colour on a colouring page. Eg: colour using every red colour you have of water colour, colour pencils, markers etc. on one colour page 2. Colour one page using one type medium with different colours each. So if you use a red colour pencil you can't use red of another medium, say red water colour. So basically, as an example, you use red marker, blue pencil, green watercolour etc. I like your chanel by the way, very relaxing 😌 Also, have you seen the prismacolour colour erase pencils. They're colour pencils that you can actually erase! Wild!
So beautiful!! Clearly you love Disney, I do too!! Someday I will be able to color a page like that. For now I should maybe stick to the Disney books for kids LOL
I like the videos in which you experiment things like this: today it is gesso and markers. If you want to get into watercolor practice then I will suggest using watercolor markers first. Those are good for coloring books with thick paper and you can combine them with Derwent Inktense as both, markers and colors, don’t need so much water to be activated. There is another artist here on RUclips that found a hack to use regular markers, water-based, and gouache. I think her channel is called Color My World. The hacks she suggests are awesome and can be used on regular coloring book paper. Thanks for the video and tips.
Absolutely stunning! I have never seen the pencil/marker combo till I watched your videos and it always looks wonderful. I really must give it a try again
Temi Danso also does this technique! It scares me because I'm COMMITTING to the basic colors, rather than allowing a small section to take the rest in a different direction... but she does a GREAT job.
I bought these books just so I could colour along with you. You could legit just colour from these books and have a solid return audience because it's truly mesmerizing.
The amount of detail you archieve in this drawings is amazing! Although the Gesso might have to be too textured for your liking, for myself it could be exactly right if the colored pencils act like pastel pencils because of it. I mean, with pastel pencils you don't need to push that hard to get the pigment down and that might mean, that my hand doesn't need to suffer that much anymore, if I use colored pencils on top of the sandpaper Gesso? For a weakhanded person like me, that would be a thing! 😅
Hi Sarah! Love how the page came out!!! Do you have tracing paper or glassine lying around? If you do use a piece of it to rest your hand on so you don't schmear your art from resting your hand on it! It might not work if there is an insane amount of pencil dust physically laying on the page, but it works like a dream for normal circumstances! It's what I do AND an added bonus is that it keeps the art archival by keeping your skin oils off the art which can alter the color over time! So if you're making something to give to someone........😄😄😊😊
Love that you continue to experiment with different techniques. 😊I have learned so much about supplies and techniques you have shown and your printouts and colour catalogues help me so much when it comes to my colouring. I've ordered my colour cubes and new planner and can't wait for them to arrive, so excited! Thank you for you content and reference material. 💛
Beautiful as always! I loved your tip on coloring leaves. It sounds so much simpler and yet looked so good! I'm inspired to try that technique in my own coloring pages now
I like the experimental stages you have. How about applying gesso in just certain sections to enhance textures and not on all the page? This might work the next time you try a detailed coloring page like this.
This page turned out so beautiful! It looks as good as the original painting to me! Definitely frame worthy! ☺️ Gesso is such an amazing tool to help preserve pages from bleed through and creating texture but it’s got a learning curve to it (like everything else). I applied it to a Kinkade coloring page and it worked… I just didn’t plan my approach well. Thankfully, Procreate helps fix happy accidents 🤣 definitely going to try the gesso again after watching this video!
Turned out beautifully. Yeah, Gesso is used on substrates, typically with acrylics, to strengthen and prep the surface. It prevents absorption, even the non-texture type. My “fearless” attempts always involve trying to be looser in style. It almost always turns out like I used my toes!
Hullo Sarah, Different gesso kinds/types are so different and will enhance your surfaces! I use a clear gesso to create grit for soft pastels! you can even create a homemade watercolor ground from clear gesso and transparent modeling paste! SO many uses! You might try several types, textured, clear, white, even black! Just find the one that works best with your style! I so enjoy your videos and simply love your style and accent too! Thank You!
Can you create a coloring book that you tell us what colors to use whether it has a reference page or just a color by number type design or even reference what colors you used on your original.
I can't wait to try this 😊 I have both clear and white gesso, and inherited watercolour pencils. I'm thinking the gesso I have might be better for my pencils. Guess I'll find out! 😄
I would really love to see what an original artwork from you would look like. It wouldn't have to be anything bit, just something that YOU drew/painted/created because YOU wanted to colour it.
one thing you could try with the gesso marker combo, is doing the markers first and then doing gesso. (basically gesso is like acrylic paint combined with a chalk/rough medium that makes paint stick to it) its also good if you have a super smooth paper you want to use coloured pencils on as it creates more tooth effectivly. all gesso does this btw so it wasnt that you used the wrong one. if you wanted a smoother texture tho you can lightly sand it before you work. oh and if you want something that will absorb the paint/ink more you can use something called watercolour ground, i personally own some for painting on wood with watercolour and also it works as almost a tipex/correction fluid that you can paint over. it is kinda expensive though! :'D
Your previous videos of the Thomas Kinkade coloring book videos inspired me to buy one myself but I decided to start off with one of the smaller versions of the coloring pages because due to my autism, way too many details is so overwhelming for me so yeah 😅
I love your way in painting pictures and those pictures are wonderful. i really want to recommend you to draw by special materials, it will make you be more creative too. Like drawing by rice, wooden stick,... Wish you will have new interesting experience. ❤
Have you tried going over your colored pencil with Gamsol or Odorless Mineral Spirits? If no, you should try it! It smooths out your colored pencil and breaks down the wax so you can add more layers, if you wanted to do so.
I had a few ''challenge'' ideas for you. Few weeks ago I asked my daughter to pick a coloring page for me, so you could ask your kids to pick one too. Or then your partner chooses the coloring book and the kids pick the page. Other one was using the google random number generator. First pick a book, count the pages that you haven't colored and the let the generator pick the page.
New subbie here! I so love your advices on how to color beautifully. I'm new to this coloring hobby and I'm looking forward to learning more from you. Thank you so much for sharing!❤

For me this is something more than just colouring and detailing because I was falling asleep.......which clearly shows how satisfying this is!!😄
Loved this one, especially your comment at 7:30, "Let's be fearlessly creative together!". It should be on a shirt or poster. Thanks for another awesome video!
How about just “Fearlessly Creative?” The whole thing would be a lot to put on a shirt 🤔
Watching your video is helpful not only in improving art techniques, but also in soothing emotion.
I love the fact that your videos aren't only 20min coloring advice, but 20min life advice and happy talk with nice background :)
I *love* the 'splashy watercolour' look that you've achieved here, Sarah!
I am only halfway through but so far the texture actually looks really cool on the background items, such as the trees and other landscaping. You are making it look easy if you are really struggling with the texture. Excited to see the end result!!
Try gessoing the back side of the page to stop the bleed through and eliminate the texture
Wow

For the pencil dust, I'd recommend using a make-up brush. Preferably the fan type one. It will minimize smearing.
You are so inspiring to me as an amateur artist! I appreciate that you don't just focus on the physical tips and tricks, but also share help for the mental aspects of art, too
Thank you for being honest about the wrong gesso purchase and reviewing your experience with it. Love all your coloring pages. You are truly amazing!

OMG Krystie you NEED to try it now!! LOL!!! It saves an insane amount of time over just using pencils alone! Like...HOURS of time saved!😄😄 Have fun!
I'm good for saving time!!! I just can't seam to make it work when I tried it before
Temi Danso also does this technique! It scares me because I'm COMMITTING to the basic colors, rather than allowing a small section to take the rest in a different direction... but she does a GREAT job.

Love the way the Disney Coloring Page turned out 💞
BEAUTIFUL!! IT LOOKS A M A Z I N G
You’re such an amazing artist! Even when things didn’t go as you expected you were still able to pull through and create a masterpiece!

There’s also sanded paper or pastelmat that makes your pencils behave more like pastel pencils if you’re interested!
@@maxwell_design_studios That sounds really interesting! Thank you for letting me know!😊💕
awwwwwww the cat just wanted to help 😊
I love these Disney colouring videos!! thank you Sarah!! 💖

I bought a roll of glassine but have never opened it! Thanks for the reminder
Love that you continue to experiment with different techniques. 😊I have learned so much about supplies and techniques you have shown and your printouts and colour catalogues help me so much when it comes to my colouring. I've ordered my colour cubes and new planner and can't wait for them to arrive, so excited! Thank you for you content and reference material. 💛
I would love to see you take on an achromatic color scheme--black, white, and greys.
You can buy SMOOTH gesso. So no grit to wear down your markers or colored pencils. There is also a clear gesso - not white.
Beautiful as always! I loved your tip on coloring leaves. It sounds so much simpler and yet looked so good! I'm inspired to try that technique in my own coloring pages now
Wow 👏 Love your coloring as always. Vibrant colors just flows well together. A master piece literally 😊
LOVE TANGLED!! I will be getting your Cube. Then I will take up this challenge! Take care, thanks for sharing!! Jill, Ohio, 🇺🇸
I love how it looks.
I might just try some Gesso to see if I can combine the marker and color pencil technique.
I like the experimental stages you have. How about applying gesso in just certain sections to enhance textures and not on all the page? This might work the next time you try a detailed coloring page like this.
Beautiful work! And I love the 'fearlessly creative' philosophy! Definitely need to get that on a t shirt!
Omggg loved it!!! It turned out perfect as good as the original 😍😍😍✨ One can only dream to get to this level of coloring skill!
Your art is absolutely beautiful 😍 😊 I love coloring books too and you really inspire me to be creative ❤
Wow that is amazing. When I don’t colour outside the lines whilst colouring I am impressed but this. This is amazing! ✨
You make me want to try one of these coloring pages finally! It's TIME.
Beautiful, Sarah!!!!!
The gesso made it looked really awesome. I really like the texture. This came out really cool.
This is gorgeouss! 😍 Your skills are amazing. So inspiring. 😊
Your coloring made Flynn’s face! From the start I was disgusted that he didn’t look right and you made him look like he is supposed to!! 10/10!
Tangled is one of my fav movies ^_^ Love how this page came out. The gesso worked to make it look like a painting, it's such a good effect
Love watching you colouring in. I am very envious of your ability.
This page turned out so beautiful! It looks as good as the original painting to me! Definitely frame worthy! ☺️

OMG THIS TURNED OUT SO GREAT!! I WISH I COULD COLOUR SO GOOD! YOURE SO GREAT!!! SARAH!!
Please, make more videos like this one!!!

“Coloring with toes” sounds like a RUclips video 😂
Another thing to try is watered down white acrylic paint but add a medium to it. The medium will smooth it out.
Magical! Love your work, love your person! Such a light! ☀️❤️
12:33 this is really good advise. I struggle with this a lot! Thanks!

AWESOME
Amazing
Another work of art 🎨 Beautiful 😍
Wow! Impressive. I did not know that there are different types of gesso. Way to persevere.. Blessings
I before it does feel kind of fragile but you did good even with the new textures I really love it keep it up
Yes, that was a great side effect from the gesso =) btw that page came out amazing awesome work Sarah!!
Gorgeous picture and off topic, your hair is also gorgeous
Thank you for another wonderful video. I’m amazed how beautiful you made the page. I really love ❤️ how it turned out.
Really beautiful outcome 😍 can’t wait to see you try the regular gesso
Can you create a coloring book that you tell us what colors to use whether it has a reference page or just a color by number type design or even reference what colors you used on your original.
Love Tangled! And this looks great!
I can't wait to try this 😊 I have both clear and white gesso, and inherited watercolour pencils. I'm thinking the gesso I have might be better for my pencils. Guess I'll find out! 😄

Sarah good job as always. You’ve given me inspiration to try in my books
I cannot color with pencils unless i use marker which i always do so i agree i love coloring with both medias. Its a must!!!
Beautiful. 👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰
Amazingly done! 👏👏👏 I really admire the amount of effort you put in this piece, especially because of the size
Well done!
I love your way in painting pictures and those pictures are wonderful. i really want to recommend you to draw by special materials, it will make you be more creative too. Like drawing by rice, wooden stick,... Wish you will have new interesting experience. ❤
