Maria Filippa Because your actual drawing skills aren't as good as her "DON'T" and you need to improve your skills to become as good as her "DO" drawings! ✌
Kev27RS no art is good or bad, she’s just giving tips on realism, there’s nothing wrong with the “don’t” side, if you think that’s nice and that’s how you draw, that’s perfectly fine and valid, no one should be forced to change their style
hell bumhole how am I stupid? Practice makes perfect, so if someone does the don’t side they shouldn’t be shamed, they should be encouraged, and it’s completely fine if that’s their style
hell bumhole I don’t even know how this fight started but you’re probably younger based on how you don’t understand people have opinions. And on how you tell him to kill him self you obviously don’t know what you say people may take personally.
Actually, it isn’t AS hard as you may think. Of course, drawing realistically takes much time and practice but if you don’t overthink it, it’s actually much simpler if you just remember the basics and don’t get overwhelmed or jealous by someone who as been drawing like that for years. Take your time and practice a lot💝 EDIT: I’m glad to know that I’ve managed to motivate so many people!💗
I wish I could do your 'don't' hahahah. You're so good that even your 'don't' is nice. Hope one I can as good as you are. Thanks for the inspiration and the great videos
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about easy ways to draw portraits try Loctavan Amazing Drawing Strategy (just google it ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
I can’t tell you how much I love your work! Even having been to art school, I still felt like I learned something from this video! It’s the perfect blend of a ‘speed-thru’ and a ‘talk-thru’! I’m a very impatient tutorial watcher, and generally fast forward thru most vids for a glimpse at the beginning, middle and end to get the basic idea. But you impressed me when I realized I had just watched all 15 minutes and still wanted more! I am now a subscriber and WILL be watching all your tutorials! There just aren’t many people who have the talent and skills AND the ability to share their creative process who ALSO have the personality to be able to comfortably narrate exactly what you are doing in each step of the piece, as its being done in speed-thru for us, without ever becoming repetitive or obnoxious! THANK YOU!
Thank you Kirsty! I wanted to come back to this video and leave a post because this was THE transformational video for me that took my colored pencil art in a whole new direction. Prior to watching this I had no idea how realistic they could be. Just implementing the simple instruction on what to do (and not do) with layering and blending has produced amazing results and a lot of comments like "I thought it was a photo". Thank you again.
Excellent tutorial Kirsty. I bought the pencil sharpener you recommended; what a difference it has made. I had no idea my pencils weren’t as sharp as they needed to be. Thank you again for the great recommendation and all your great tutorials.
It's ok it was the same with me ...I was like I didn't had any relation with drawing 2 years ago ...but now I get praised so much..and I love my drawing..even though there are not that realistic ..but I am improving a lot...so keep drawing ❤️😊
Hi Kirsty, thanks for the tutorials,they are so incredibly helpful. I've recently started learning coloured pencil portraits and I'm loving it. These hints and tips are very useful and it's great to have them available to watch again and again. Thank you so much!
I really like your sketch And I've made one for myself Thank u soo much🙏 God bless ya And ur voice is sweet btw 😃 And ur way of explaining details is very simple and easy Thank u very much again
I really enjoyed this. You hit all the typical weak spots beginners have and did a great job of demonstrating how to correct those mistakes. Well done!
Usually my problem with these tutorials are that the artist inoy focuses in the picture there drawing not eyes in general... But u spoke about general mistakes people make so this is a really good video!!
I'm in love with learning from u...thanks so so much for ur superb lessons...wish I could paste my drawing here ...still it's hard to believe that I made that it actually looks realistic...it took hours but I didn't give up and tried hard...it came out awesome...😘😘😘
Hi Christy! I love your talent and for sharing it with me! I look forward to trying out your new course. Thank you so much for sharing a natural talent I wish I had. :)
One simple tip that always helped me was to draw both eyes at the same time. Just doing little bits on each eye equally instead of fully finishing one eye and moving onto the next sincerely helped me a lot! ^^
Naturally, i already knew how to draw but i needed to learn this type of coloring. Im so tired of drawing using only pencils and tech pens. Thank you for your tutorial.
You dont need to use expensive pencils. I have managed to do really good portraits with whs coloured pencils and white pastel pencil. when i do the skin and to get the blend i put white down first then build skin tone, then when i have skin tone built up, i use the white pastel and lightly press to blend a bit more. Works wonders when you dont have access to expensive pencils.
✨🙋🏻♀️🙂Many Many Thanks for Creating this Video🙂I Have Tried Drawing my Eyes Before, But Didn't Really SEE my Reference, Since Watching Your Most Awesome Video, I Have Since Slowed Down And Built Up Layers: My Eye Drawing has Improved Much😃😊🎨
Thank you so so much for this! I was practicing so much and it never really looked realistic, with you’re tips I’m finally kinda proud!!! It really helped!!!
Today is my first day drawing an eye with colored pencils, referenced the basic shapes and highlights. I tried a few times but I couldn’t get how to layer up on things and put in those finer details on the iris. So I threw them out and decided I am not going to reference the colors and just go for it. After having done this I wish I would have earlier because it looks fantastic. I have to do the lashes still and I am scared for my art
One question: If I do not have the basic colors to make a realistic eye (shades of black and brown + blender) can I still do something? I love your videos Brazilian kisses :*
Me too but and i'm planning to draw jin's portrait for my aunt's bday on march since he is her bias but i'm not sure if i can draw well since i'm too young *i'm 12*
Try using a pencil extension on your short stub pencils. Your a very competent artist. You maintain good control throughout the work, no doubt your confidence works well for you.

Thank you
What type of brush do you use? Can I use a large fluffy makeup brush?
Waw
Kirsty Partridge Art is there any way you could redo a realistic eye video but do it pencil stroke by pencil stroke on the iris
Why are all her dont's actually good?!
Maria Filippa
Because your actual drawing skills aren't as good as her "DON'T"
and you need to improve your skills to become as good as her "DO" drawings!
✌

that’s ridiculous, I’m just saying it’s fine to draw on the don’t side, what does that have to do with my skills?

What sharpener did she recommend?
@@ertfgghhhh The sharpener is in her description. She said “ I will link the tools I use in the description “
The way you explain the technique is really great. Your video is helpful
Thank you for this video
When I draw eyes with color pencils they always look so ugly, but I'm determined to learn
That's it... U have what u need.... Determination 😊😊🙌🙌

I didn't skipped all the ads in exchanged for free teaching♥️
i needed this id never use my colored pencils cause of not knowing what to do with them in terms of how to blend
I really enjoyed this. You hit all the typical weak spots beginners have and did a great job of demonstrating how to correct those mistakes. Well done!
WOW! Just WOW! Fantastic, Kirsty! As usual! Love your work!
This is definitely the kind of tutorial of do’s and don’ts I really, REALLY needed
I have an art baseline assessment and we're drawing eyes, very helpful,thanks!
I think this deserves a like from me because this is a genius work and how realistic this is
Truly amazing work. Such attention to all the little details makes all the difference. It was a joy to watch.
Anyone else still trying to achieve the dont
I have already achieve it! For now, I will achieve the Do's
Usually my problem with these tutorials are that the artist inoy focuses in the picture there drawing not eyes in general... But u spoke about general mistakes people make so this is a really good video!!
Your don’t is 20 times better than mine 😂😂
edit 2 years later: how did y’all not understand it’s an exaggeration y’all weird asf
Mimishki
The don't looks really good honestly!!
Thats sad.
Lmaoo same

Hi Christy! I love your talent and for sharing it with me! I look forward to trying out your new course. Thank you so much for sharing a natural talent I wish I had. :)
Outstanding Kirsty!! Loved this one too👏👏👍💖
Step 1:Have drawing skills
Step 2: Take a paper and pencils an start drawing 👍
And to get skills you need practice
"DON'T DO THIS..." ..................... **proceeds to draw perfect lashes on the 'DON'T' eye** ...ok then.
I'll get to the don't level one day.
This is amazing. There so much fluidity in the way you draw. Very inspiring.
Amazing. How can you be this great? 😊
This kind of channels really work hard for a single video,so please appreciate them,👍👍#hatsoff
Can u do a video on how to make both the eyes the same or at least pretty similar pls, I'm really struggling with that so it would help a lot!
Makoccino made a video on how to draw both eyes evenly (that's the title) it's really good, I think you should check it out!
Sydney K Cole
Oh thank you!
Check out makoccino because she made a video that helped me a lot so

well it is right that all ways ''draw light till you know it's right''
Naturally, i already knew how to draw but i needed to learn this type of coloring. Im so tired of drawing using only pencils and tech pens. Thank you for your tutorial.
Omg! This was totally awesome and worthy to watch! You are awesomeee
Hello Kirsty thank you for this beautiful tutorial, it took me 3 hours to finished it but it's really nice and realistic.
Greetings from Belgium
Really you helped me for making eyelashes first it is difficult for me to do but now I can draw it nicely 😊
You are really a life saver 😊😇
Her: *Using pro artist colored pencils*
Me: *Sees the world colored pencils in title and looks over at my crayons and crazart colored pencils..*
..it hurts so fucking bad. Lol.... i need to save up for the good stuff
You dont need to use expensive pencils.

she's also made some vids using cheap coloured pencils and the outcome was pretty cool. ♥
Could u give a tutorial on shadowing and highlighting
GREAT WORK

Her - quickly draws a very good eye sketch
Me - takes about 30 minutes to make a good sketch
Why are you so good luv ur vids there soooo helpful
Thank you Kirsty I appreciate you! My eyes aren't as beautiful as yours you helped me do a lot better!
i cant even draw the donts onee!! send heelllppp with a magically handss likee thiss.
to be realistic, the donts eye is actually kinda good
Millrud12 not from a professional standpoint
I’m curious to know, how long a full portrait in coloured pencils takes to complete?
Hours
Mine takes around 9-10 hours
Years
According to a scientific investigation funded by Britannica, it is known to take decades.
20-300 hours typically for professionals.
When her do nots drawing is better than any drawing you’ve done
Step one- Instantly be a master at drawing eyes
Step two- Fail
Step three- try again
Step three-fail again
Step 4 - get mad
don't mind me step 5- make a vow to never draw ever again and give up then 5 minuets later try again
Seriously, am really impressed watching this video... Thanks for sharing the knowledge
It's really beautiful drawing.... and also helpful tutorial for me.... please, make more videos like this for us.... thank you...😊😊
Thank u so much🎀Brilliant and easy to follow along and now i know more how to draw an eye😍Love ur videos and keep going!!
