I want to see it all in real time. I am mesmerized watching you work.
Thank you very much Joyce!!❤️❤️❤️
I love real time instruction. Beautiful start! Thank you Karen.
Thank you so much Diane!! That’s what I’ll keep doing!!❤️
Love this, I learn so much.. no need to speed anything!
I will be watching no matter how you proceed, real time, partial camera, or sped up. But you asked about preference. I like real time, and all the little nuances that go into one of these pieces. It totally fascinates me. Hoping to learn a thing or two from you and your talent. But whatever way you proceed, I will be all in. Thank you for sharing with me and everyone else.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Joyce! So far the consensus here and on Facebook is real-time so I think that is what I will continue to do!❤️❤️❤️
I love the idea of using a proportional divider.
Since I starting using one I can’t do without it Judy!😊
I very much enjoy the real time video. You are making things click for me. Great tip on the proportion tool. I’ve been struggling with that very thing. I enjoy hearing your thought processes as you work. So helpful. Thank You for doing these!!!
Thank you so much for that wonderful feedback Natasha!! I love hearing that!!❤️❤️❤️
Oh My goodness - I love this - I'm going to give it a go ..... thank you so much for your generous giving and encouragement of the likes of myself
Thank you for your lovely comment! I’m so glad you are going to give it a go! ❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoyed your video, Karen! I love the real time...people can speed it up if they want. But I like hearing you talk about the process. Your work is amazing. 💜
Thank you so much for that lovely feedback Sonya! I’m going to stick with the real time format!❤️❤️❤️
Hi Karen, I also prefer real time, this way we see the full process, no matter how long or how many videos takes. The speed up process does not capture everything. Thank you so much for sharing ♥️
Thank you for your feedback Maria! That’s what I’ll be doing!!❤️❤️❤️
I love watching your real time videos, thank you for sharing with us 💕
Thank you so much Tamils! That seems to be the consensus, so real time it is!!❤️❤️❤️
I love your real time videos! Lots to learn about your methods in detail. Thanks for posting so many videos for us.
Thank you so much for your feedback Rupali! I really appreciate it! It’s pretty much a consensus. Real time it is!!❤️❤️❤️
Hi Karen. I live your video. I love that you show your reference photo right next to your work. I can see what your thought process is to get that color and texture down. Real-time video is awesome. I'm learning so much. Thanks!
I’m so glad you are enjoying them Judy!!!❤️❤️❤️
I like to do my lime art on a different sheet of paper and then tape them together at the bottom. Then I don’t have to worry about it. I can slip a blank piece of paper in between if I want to. Nice tutorial. I enjoyed it.
Thank you! ❤️
Amazing real time instruction!! 🎉🎉😊
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. ❤️😊❤️
This is my first drafting film project and am absolutely loving it. I appreciate it being in real time and am enjoying the process!
I need to break out my drafting film again Kelly! I loved it so much too. I’m glad you are enjoying the videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic yes please in real time!
Thank you! Real time it is!❤️
I love watching you. Your work is amazing!
Thank you so much Martha! ❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous - thank you.
Thank YOU!❤️❤️❤️
Yes, please continue.
Your Art is Spectacular
Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely!
I've already ordered my graphix paper. I'm so excited to try it.
Fantastic
Thank you so much!❤️
Lovely video and solved a simple question I had. Thank-you
Thank you so much! May ask what your question was??😊
Please do the real time. It’s enjoyable and I learn a lot. Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for the time you put in doing these videos. 🌺🌺👍💐
Thank you so much for your feedback Tommie!! That is what I will be doing! It’s almost been unanimous!!❤️❤️❤️
very good drawing but please check the eye pupil of the cats eye on your right or the cat's left eye. It looks like the shadow of the pupil on the side should be a little bit darker. What do you think? Good job!!!!
Hi, i loved this video! I recently bought some polydraw drafting film after struggling with colour pencil on pastel matt and other papers. I did a bit of a scribble on the drafting film and just LOVE the surface. Your video has been really helpful. I have a light hand when i draw so i think this surface will be great for me. Thankyou so much for sharing, you are very talented! I will buy the graffix when it's available but the polydraw will help me to grasp it in the meantime i hope. I also love that you don't hang up on colours, lay the lead on the reference pic and you can get the colours you need. Colour is something i've struggled with, but i overthink it all. Thank you again! You are so talented! 😘
Thank you very much Mandy!! I’m glad you found the video helpful! I need to pull out my drafting film again. It’s been much too long!!❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic tutorial! Please please please real time again!
Thank you very much Roberta! Yes! Always real time!❤️❤️❤️
To answer your question, yes, continue the video series in sections and speeded up! Thank you!!!
Real time please love your videos
Thank you so much Sue!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love your work. I have been trying lately to get into colored pencil. Its so true you must follow the reference photo. Even do lots of eye balling with a critical eye. As a watercolor realism human portrait artist , I draw easier with my natural perceptions & my trusted proportional divider. The so called easy faster way of tracing has gotten me totally lost in my past. I always end up redrawing the whole thing. With watercolor, its hard to back up. I don't trust my line drawing that much.
Thank you Renee! I think everyone works in different ways. What’s successful for one artist may not be the way for another. What frustrates me is when other artists criticize one another for not doing things the way they think it should be done. ( I don’t mean you). I do some tracing to get the main proportions correct, but I would be lost without my proportional divider!
I have soooo much respect for realism in watercolor. I can’t imagine a less forgiving medium. I’d love to see your work. Do you have an IG account? I am doing colored pencil portraits now too. Much more forgiving than watercolor.
@@ArtbyKarenValentine I don't have a IG account. Not sure what that is. But my work was featured on Doodlewash. I see you have a Facebook group. I can send you the link. Anyway, There is nothing wrong with tracing. It actually helps people learn to draw. I learned drawing well by tracing as a child. The more you do it the more you can do it without help. But its great for back up and very complicated references that would take forever to draw otherwise. Tracing a reference doesn't mean one cannot draw. Its just a tool to get it done faster. The old Masters used mirrors and reflections. DaVinci invented the grid. He used his grid attached to his easel. The most challenging work comes with the painting itself, whether its with color pencil, Pastel, watercolor, acrylic, you name it. Now that I have such painful arthritis in my hands, its hard to draw without suffering. I need every tool I can find. LOL! Thanks so much for your response! I love your channel.
Karen, Thank you for sharing your process in mostly real time. I like watching the painstaking process of color selection and perhaps reselection, since we all do this... I am just ordering slice craft knives today, have never used them, but they seem wonderful with Colored Pencil on film. Question: if I am using wax based instead of oil based colored pencils, is the layering and removal process the same? I am looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Hi Marina. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I personally find to Prismacolors a little to waxy to be used as the predominant pencil on film. It picks up color so we’ll that the softness of Prismas is a hinderance not a help. Caran D’Ache Luminance however work beautifully on film and removal process is exactly the same. Be careful not to erase too much as it can effect the tooth of the film if you need to add more color. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on film and I miss it. I’ve got a new project planned for late in the year or early next year. ❤️❤️❤️
Real time every time! Please
Thank you Cat! That is what I do most of the time!!❤️❤️❤️
Yes plus réel time
Hi Marie! This is an old video. So yes. Real time is all I do now. ❤️❤️❤️
Please explain why you draw on drafting film instead of paper?
Hi I'm trying to take your cat tutorial but I can't seem to download the line art or the photo without printing off 6 other pages; what am I doing wrong?
I’m sorry Dana. I have no idea. Each image is a single jpeg so I can’t image why that’s happening. 😢
Hello. I was wondering what kind of paper did you use under the drafting film? Thank you.
Hi Vanessa! Any smooth paper will work. I usually have a white and a mid tone that I switch back and forth with. I throw a tan or grey piece behind when I’m working with white pencil so I can see what I’m doing. Smooth Scrapbook paper works well for this. The textured cardstock is fun to use for fur texture.
@@ArtbyKarenValentine thank you so much. Yes, I’m trying drafting film for the first time and it was picking up texture I didn’t want when I used a normal paper under it. So I guess I have to make sure to buy some smooth card stock paper. I appreciate the info.
Well done, I follow you on Patreon! When you have finished drawing on film do you apply a white or other colored child behind as a background? And if so, how do you fix it behind the drawing? Thanks and congratulations
Hi there! You must be thinking of someone else you follow on Patreon, because I don’t teach over there. 😁 As far as your question about a backing paper, yes. I usually use white, but you can use anything that suits your piece. You just attach it with a piece of framers tape at the very top, and then frame it behind a mat. But I also have several
pieces hanging in my studio using a clipboard.
Me again so sorry for asking. Where is the outline link please?
ko-fi.com/artbykarenvalentine84336/shop
Just scroll down. You’ll see it. Have fun!
hello, what base do you use?
Hi Jane. I’m not sure I understand your question. Do you mean what am I using underneath the drafting film?
Real time, please..Love watching you.
Thank you so much Barbara! Looks like that will be the plan!!❤️❤️❤️
How do I find part 2?
Here is the link to the playlist that has all the drafting film tutorials. All the parts are there. 😃 ruclips.net/p/PL4WLxV6HGAZGQqoqSissGD4XUmOWuU9CW
How can I find this particular cat as there are thousands to scan on PX?
The link is in the description box below the video Roger. 😊
I am havIng the same issue. I had no problem with the leopard, but when I click the link for the cat, I get a page full of cats, but not this one.
@@ArtbyKarenValentine The link was only for the site and category.
@@ArtbyKarenValentine In the URL address after cat+feline add a +green+eyes and it should take you to 4 pages.
@@MANOFKENT149 The reference photo was removed from pixabay. I found it on another site and have updated the link on all the videos. 😊
I can't find your line art 😪
When you are on the Ko-Fi site, go to Shop. Then scroll down. It’s the last item. 😊
@@ArtbyKarenValentine sadly the link doesn't work it's a redirect. But thank you. X
@@ShazieinStitches oh no! Thank you for telling me. I’ll fix it right away. Here it is. ko-fi.com/artbykarenvalentine84336
Karen are you on Patreon?
I am not Rosemary. 😊
I love your work! I will continue to watch on RUclips ❤️
@@rosemaryking1072 Thank you! Do you prefer Patreon?
@@ArtbyKarenValentine well, I have used Patreon a couple times, I like the artist full length tutorials, but since you are not affiliated I will continue on RUclips
