- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- In this tutorial, i am sharing some tips for drawing gold or metallic objects in general. I am drawing a golden beetle for the demo as i find it easy to understand the basics with that. I have used prismacolor pencils and faber castell polychromos pencils for the demo.
Time taken for the drawing -- 1.5 hours.

I can't possibly imagine why 100 people could give this excellent instructional video a thumbs down. This is genuinely excellent from start to finish.
maybe they liked it upside down
Totally agree !
I think they're jealous. Notice the Debbie Downers never comment their reason why! Jealous.
They most likely couldn't do it right
Coz they can't draw
I'm a complete beginner, just bought me a set of colour pencils. I copied your beetle tutorial and am thoroughly impressed with the result. Thanks so much!!! Great tutorial!!
The thumbnail looks perfect where as the bigger and more detailed the image the flatter it became. Though gold presents hard edges within these color patches you still have a gradient produced by light and shades of a 3D form. You can improve this image by introducing a little light and shadow.
YOU ARE AMAZING! I never would have imagined you could create this golden metallic beetle this way! I have been hoping to find a tutorial that would show the process, thank you so much! I'm subscribing tonight!
Thank you so much :D
Until the baby oil blending I thought 'Yeah. Right. Ha. Ha.'
But all of a sudden - that thing started shining, and when you finally added the shadows I had to pick up by lower jaw from the floor. Wow! This is amazing!
At the end of the video with the shadow shavings how many people blew on their screen, I did guilty 🤣very talented and beautiful work thank you I love it
😂 thank you
Thank you again for another one of your wonderful tutorials :) I have always wanted to see someone create gold with coloured pencils on a video.
its my pleasure :)
Wow, that looks like gold. It came out beautifully. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes I wouldn’t believe it.
Excellent!
How anyone can say this looks flat I don't know, it's great, I wish I could get a gold effect like this, thanks for sharing, love it.
amelia garner, self righteous wanna be critics say things like this when they can't even draw a stick figure. Always best to leave positive comments than negative. I totally agree with you. This was a great tutorial and it is very helpful. Not flat at all. The person that said that probably has flat eyes.
@@ScaryFear Lol flat eyes, but yeah your right they must have.
@@MsAmelia1957 Glad you liked it.
Fadil I love your tutorials! They are easy to understand and follow and you have a relaxing voice. I also like that you clearly list everything needed.
I tried to use gold coloured pencils and it didn’t look right!!! Your way is 100% better❗️Thanks for the help 😃
you deserve WAY more subscribers! I like how you're mentioning the colours and materials you used.
thank you so much :)
Loving this, it's so nice to have someone explain their process. I have spent many hours wondering how some processes are done in a range of media.
Baby oil is about to be my new best friend! thank you for this video!
I use baby oil for cleaning cooker
@@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook who needs to know that? Lol
That's really cool how it comes together like that.
Thank you so much for these incredible tips... so many in one video I really enjoyed watching you ! Thanks again
Thank you so much this helped me draw the gold sections in my first poster drawing. Its one of my most nostalgiac posters in my room and now i have a lot of them
Thank you. I am so glad i could help
I just bought a box of Prismacolor Premier, waiting them to arrive.
Your videos will be of great help for me to understand how to use them at best. I am really grateful for what you do, thank you!
Thank you - I have been struggling with drawing/painting reflective surfaces and this really helps! Off to explore some of your other videos.
+Shoshi Platypus Thank you so much 😀
That's amazing!!! I'm a beginner and I'm just starting back again after not doing anything for over a year. I need to work on basics, but the first drawing I plan to do has a root beer color, so this helped a bit with the colors used. I know my colors will vary some because I'm doing shiny gold. But this is a great tutorial! I just hope I can pull off the desired color I'm going for. Thank you for the video!
I never thought of using baby oil! I have used odorless mineral spirits but it needs many layers first or the "grain" will still show.
It's insane how great this looks. You are amazing.
This is amazing! I hate using metallic pencils. They never really look like metal. Thanks so much for showing this.
Yea they are almost useless. Thank you :)
Love your excellent tip about using photoshop to identify colors to aid in selecting your color pencil palette. ❤️🙏
Amazing how this came together
THANK YOU for this! I tried drawing metallic things with no reference and it looked weird! The color picker idea is spot on! (I need red for example for a recent project) This video helped me so much!
You are really talented; thank you for sharing your techniques!
Absolutely superb sir.
Thank you! 🎉
Thank you 😍
Thank you so much-this was a really helpful video,I will certainly watch more.
Thanks for the process and basic knowledge about this.
You do a great job teaching - nice work
This is absolutely amazing! Wow! Thank you for sharing your technique and talent!
Thank you for your great tutorial on drawing metallic items with colored pencils. I did the drawing and it turned out beautifully considering it is only the 4th drawing I've done with colored pencils in about 40 years. I've watched a number of artists use the Prismacolor pencils but so far you are still my go-to guy for fully understanding the best ways to use the pencils to get the best results. It took me a couple of episodes, to understand what you were saying, but I was able to quickly get used to your accent by watching the closed captioning while listening to you. Now I don't need the closed captioning and I am going through as many of your tutorials as I can each day. I feel like I am once again in art school and I'm having a great time learning all the new techniques and materials that have been developed in the last couple of decades. Thanks again for taking the time to make these tutorials.
Hi, I liked this object
Fantastic video. One of the best on this topic. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome. You are a great teacher.
+Eloisa Pazos Nieto thank you :)
Very good instructional video!
YOUR ART IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!
It's a really good tip to pick colors before starting, with the help of photoshop. Could you please make a quick-tip-video were you show it on an example. Maybe the Skull. I have never used such a program for assistance and it would be really interessting for me as a beginner. Especially which colors you pick. Because I saw so many colors on the skull pic and you've choosen only a few. It's difficult for me and I would be very thankful to see this in another video. Thank you!
Stunning 👍🏻
Magnificent. You are truly inspiring. Thank you!
WOW, what a truly amazing artist you are. You have an incredible gift - Thank you for sharing :)
+Lynette Boxall thank you :)
A wonderful tutorial! Thank you
This is one incredible drawing!! You should be proud! The beetle really does just come to life in front of your eyes and quickly looks 3D.
I know I will most likely get every person and their mother biting my ear off for having an opinion. It is meant as constructive criticism and in NO way, shape or form am I trying to be mean, nasty, stuck up or any other insult people can come up with.
Just 1 tiny little detail I felt let down the picture and that was the shadowing. Done in the right places however, it wasn’t blended in with pencil blend, or in your case, baby oil. Just looked a tiny bit strange having this incredibly realistic looking gold beetle and a grainy shadow.
Keep up the absolute amazing work!! Love it! 💜
Wow! You are a wizard with pencils !!! Amazing! And you are a great tutor! And a great artist!! Thank you for sharing your tips and drawings. You are awesome! : )
+43110s Thank you so much :D
Very informative. Thanks. Try setting up with the light source on your left so we can see properly next time. Your hand creates a shadow that obscures the finer details as it happens.
This is very good, but how do I know where to apply the dark/light areas on something other than this beetle 🪲 and something that I don't have a reference picture for? Like an object or the inside of a clock tower in a colouring book?
Great!!! And tanks for the tip of this kind of airbrush way!
You can use the baby oil on the Bristol as well without distorting the paper?
Well this is a bit too advanced for me but it was really good so I think I'll just tuck it away in a saved folder for later. Thanks!
Golden Beatle that sounds like a football team name.
Random dude: And who won the game last night
Me: The Golden Beatles, but it was a close game.
Good instructions thanks
That is astonishing! Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you :)
Amazing. It just comes to life.
+Sue Wilkinson Thank you :)
Can you use baby oil on normal Faber castle color pencils? And can any oil do as a substitute? Like coconut
Thank you. I will keep learning from you.
what you using to push the baby oil around. is it just a brush?
Really beautiful ! thank you for teaching us your technical
Thank you for watching :)
That baby oil is for what, please reply
Wow! Thankyou.
+Lesley Chapple my plesure :)
This is amazing! So much talent.

Thank you for your information.
You are an amazing artist.
Glad to see you after looooooong time...Nice tutorial anyway!!!!
haha thank you :D
Beautiful Work
Thank you :D
Hi! Are you using a a dry brush or a wet brush?
Is there a way to do this with only color pencils?
Do I have to use prismacolor pencil that the baby oil could work or can I use baby oil with different pencils?
+Emili Anona they work with any wax based or oil based pencils like prismacolor coloursoft or polychromos.
Thank you for sharing your talent and skill in your tutorial on drawing a metallic beetle. Lovely!
And how do you squeeze that oil from the baby?.....
Nice work!
Do the instructions for those pencils tell us to use the oils or water for blending, or is it a method developed by the artists?
THANKS
Al Catraz To the best of my knowledge, most colored pencil sets (the ones I own anyway) don't come with instructions. I think the reason for this is likely because the best and easiest way to learn how each pencil works is through practical application and firsthand experience. Even pencils within the same set are not created equally. Some have more or less binders (wax or oil) and some have more or less pigment (color) than others. Therefore, some lay down smoothly and some more scratchy.
My best piece of advice is just to try them and try different methods and techniques, vary pressure and grip. Try holding the pencil at different angles and closer or further away from the tip. Get to know each pencil literally.
Al Catraz Also, there are many different blending tools, methods and mediums. Which you choose to use depend largely on personal preference. Ease of use, safety and affordability are also factors for most people. I've even seen people use rum or tequila or vodka to blend. Some use Vaseline, some use odorless mineral spirits, turpenoid, gamsol, rubbing alcohol (isopropyl or ethyl). I've seen people use Olive oil, coconut oil, vegetable or just about any kind of oil they happen to have on hand, except motor oil lol. There are colorless blending pencils (usually made of wax without pigment), colorless blender markers (alcohol-based). I haven't really seen water uses for blending, probably mainly because it can damage the paper, but any wet media can do that, especially if you use an excessive amount, which is why I always recommend wiping off excess using a paper towel or even swiping your paintbrush, q-tip or tortillion across some blank scrap paper. And there again, there are many different tools you can use to apply different blending methods.
Terrific Artt
Fabulous! Thank you so much for this vid. You make it look so simple, very impressive results too. Hope mine look this good!
Hi.. I do follow your colouring.. Can you suggest me which paper to use with prisma colour pencils.. I love to blend colours without any other material.. Thank you
Does baby oil work for wax based pencils ?
please for the next time can you compair the image to your drawing
WOH thanks!!!!! Very good.
You are so very talented!
amazing effect! 😁😁
A great tutorial, thank you
REFERENCE PHOTOS! Use them! Don't try to draw realism stuff from memory. It never comes out as good as when you use a picture or actual reference. He touches on it in the beginning. But it's probably one of the most important things about this drAwing.
Tommy Ohlrich copying. so much fun
So what, everything is copied from life.
when my grandfather was in a nursing home i made a picture of a swan family BUT i was drawing from memories of an 'the ugly duckling' movie which i watched a lot as a 5-6 year old and i was in high school when i made the drawing but i did my best with what memories i could recall.
Great work. fantastic how you produce gold from browns, amazing the blending of colours Great music I usually don't like background music
This will help me in my future works thanks.
Really amazing! It looks so realistic! Great!
thank you so much :)
so good !
Woah. Dope drawing
This was beautifully done🙌👌
Holy cow that's freaking cool I'm so gonna do this
Thank you so much :D
Art@Fadil you're very welcome :)
Do you think it would also work using only polychromos?
amazing
Amazing artwork. By the way, what was the baby oil used for again?
Ficou maravilhoso 😍👏
