    Thank you for telling me why artists hold the pencil this way. I have taken college art classes and none of my instructors could ever explain it - they would just say its the correct way or its better. In my personal experience my gesture drawings always come out better when I hold the pencil this way but I never knew why.

      i hope this helps but these are tips i use in my art
      1. use warmer colors for darker skin tones
      2. backgrounds can either be darker or lighter than the focus
      3. using purple and yellows for shadows and highlights or adding it to the color your using
      4.looking at the color wheel can help make color pallets
      5. looking at references and trying to copy them to see what colors they use and how they use it helps me

    Love your videos! I've been watching them so much as I'm trying to improve my colored pencil drawings. I'd love a tutorial on how to do blending in incredibly small areas or on smaller drawings. I've been able to blend in big, open areas with little issue, but the little details get me.

  • @venetiancat
    @venetiancat 5 лет назад +1

    I'm just starting out with colored pencils (Prismacolor Premiere, no breakage issues thankfully)- and although I am a seasoned artist, I have made ALL the mistakes you mentioned in trying to obtain a super-smooth blend. I have found that Bristol 300 or 400 vellum works well with solvent, seems to be enough tooth. For solvent, I have used Gamsol odorless mineral spirits as well as isopropyl alcohol. Gamsol melts the wax better, but alcohol evaporates more quickly.

      Crayola pencils are awesome. Lol. Keep at it, because when you get to know your crayola pencils, you will find transitioning into a “better” grade of pencils is so easy because you’ve already learned the basics. I have a range of pencils-derwent, polychromos, prismacolors, and so much more, but I find I like my crayola ones a lot more than I thought I did.

    I definitely did the mistake of burnishing on first layer the first time. I snapped my polychromos lead, and that thing never breaks. I was as heart broken as the broken lead hahaha... Reason it breaks: there isn't enough of wax or oil on the paper to help the lead to glide.

    • @NoDontLikeIt
      @NoDontLikeIt 5 лет назад

      Yes, you can use the same kind of fixative. I use a spray can of fixative, whatever brand is cheapest unless I have a coupon-but I use matte fixative (also called workable fixative) because you can spray your work and then if you want, you can go back and use more pencil and/or pastel over the fixative and then re-spray when finished. {I like to do a pastel background, spray the whole page with matte fixative and then use my prismacolors or polychromos to draw with or color in with and then respray the whole work when I’m finished}. Hope that helps
