👍 if this is useful
omg thx so much!
Here have some Avocados 🥑🥑🥑🥑
Thank you so much 😊😊
Ty
Thank you so much! :)
This guy deserves more likes
As someone who can’t afford to get proper solvent, the fact that I now know I can use nail polish remover makes me so happy! It’s something I have already.
Woohoo!!
Katie_pol ikr?! This makes everything so much easier
Hi .
did acetone also work well ?
Any butter/oil will work, maybe any solvent and alcohol
I love how professional your channel is
Awwww thanks that means a lot, I have been trying really hard to make my content better 💕
Yeah I like how helpful and just good Quality your channel is
if i ask my parents for that they’re gonna think im crazy xD
Same. Dear! I'm a big fan of mam! I'm a small artist pray for me all 🖤😍 love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Yeah it is very professional
You were the first artist on youtube I came across a few months ago. You are the reason why I draw today. Thank you so much. I love how you're always trying your best💕
“The next item is Hand sanitizer”
oh now i know why everybody’s hogging the sanitizer
This vid was a year ago
This is so funny why doesn’t this have 1k likes
GuessWho they were thinking ahead of time
also btw, using emojis? cringe af
also can anyone here take a joke?
But if you’re coloring on your break at work, that may be the only solvent you can get your hands on.
You young lady are a born teacher. They are the most important people in the world. Thanx
For the prismacolor pencils, zippo lighter fluid is one of the better blenders (no smoking :) ) I picked up that trick from an old professor.
I was just going to say that! And not just for prismacolor pencils, it will blend any artist quality pencils and I cannot tell a difference between it and odourless mineral spirits, other than the price. I found out by chance.
Thats doesn’t seem smart
I’ve been stuck in quarantine for 3 weeks and my art teacher is asking us to do projects. Since my teacher can’t help me I turn to you. I recently ran out of my white color in which in use to blend so thank you!!!
Hi Kirsty! I form Poland and learning more from your Chanel than from Polish proposals. Thank you so much. :)
I went on a cruise a few years ago and packed my art supplies to while away the time in between activities. Got on the boat and realized I left all my blending supplies and my monochromes in the car... I ended up using paper straws from the beverage station, aloe-infused hand lotion, tissues and black eyeliner pencil to draw an awesome red/blue seahorse. I left it for our amazing cabin guy to keep. I took pics of it and I still look at it occasionally and marvel at how much you can use everyday items to draw with. I went through a phase in high school where I used mascara to crosshatch some stuff too. Wonderful video :)
Thank you SOOO MUCH for this video! Always loved painting, drawing and sketching as an hobby to do something when you need to relax. But as painting produced more beautiful results, I shifted more towards painting. But the materials required need to be of the best quality and are a lil bit expensive. So couple of days before only I decided to use color pencils and then today I saw this amazing video of how you can make the colors look so beautiful and homogeneous by using a solvent. And that solvent could also be simple household stuff!! Really appreciate this video and I'm soon gonna try this!
Love from India!
I loved erasing the pencil lines before hand, and the tap to not erase so much, then the craft knife to etch in whiskers or fine details. Your an amazing artist Kirsty! Thank you for sharing your videos!!!
Loved watching this. I'm new to working with colored pencils (haven't used them much at all since grade school some 50 years ago, LOL telling my age!) so haven't really done any blending. One thing I wondered as I watched this -- I would have liked to see a couple of control pieces -- try blending one with a dry cotton bud, and blending one with just water on the bud, just to show how much (if any) of your blending is from the bud itself or from just any liquid, as opposed to the specific item you're testing. Otherwise really well done!
I love your videos. They are so high quality. I am surprised you did not say a marker blender. Yes, I know it is simply alcohol -- but, in a marker casing. It is so easy to grab and use. It works well.
You are so young... but you are the most talented artist I ever met. Congratulations! Thankyou for sharing
I love everything about you, your Telent, your voice, your accent 😍
If I could only draw like you... you are gifted!
It was great seeing your fiancé in the video give a truthful judgment to provide an honest input. Should have him in more videos. I know I have seen him in Vlog channel but art channel would be nice to see pop up occasionally too.
Great video. I would never use oil of any sort to blend as it does cause issues with the paper later on (can go rancid which isn't fun), but I use isopropyl alcohol(basically the stuff used to clean computer monitors) to blend out. It works really well. Pretty much the same as acetone (nail polish).
OMG! You are so talented! Can I say I'm jealous? I would really like to draw like you. Your drawings are astonishing!
the way to get better is to practice!
Your drawing is next level. If I drew an eye like that, I'd frame it in diamonds and never let anyone touch it. You're really good at this.
This is so cool. Thank you😀 for doing it. It’s great to know nail polish remover or sanitizer can be used to blend the colours. Save buying other solvents. You are such an amazing artist.
I love your videos..especially when you talk about subjects...it helps me a lot...I hope you do a video like this soon because I feel so confused with my art.

You are so gifted with your art, and this was so informative! Thank you...
You can also use "vicks" for blending it blends very well.
ok ty
Loving your channel not over at all and its like your taking art classes just amazing
I will try out this.. someday when i m not lazy😁
Suhani Vishwakarma story of my life...
Nancy Aguiar same here
Great video. I like seeing you experimenting for me. Saves me the time and expense of trying various products.
Prismacolor makes clear blending pencils and clear blending markers. With the markers, it’s best to buy several and label each with a color, because the nub absorbs color and can transfer it to the next color. I was a public school art teacher, now retired. We used a zillion colored pencils each year. I labeled blending markers with all of the basic colors so each table had a set. In school, I would probably not use nail polish remover because of the fumes, but there is nail polish remover that is acetone-free, so I might try that on my own work to see if it works.
Another alternative to the clear blending markers is to buy very light shades of Prismacolor markers, then you have a blue one to use on blue colored pencils, green on green, etc. However, nail polish remover would be much less expensive.
I also use watercolor colored pencils. I use one of those brushes with a well of water to lightly go over the color to blend it. Once dry, I often add details with fine-line permanent markers, technical pen, or regular colored pencils.
I used to use baby oil with a q tip but now I use gamesol, which is an odourless mineral spirit, which is the best option in my opinion.
How do you find it works as far as smell? Is it strong? I ask because I've been scared to get it; I have upper respiratory problems and I'm really sensitive to strong smells. Thanks!
@@rebekah1362 I use Gamsol too but I bought an empty Copic marker to add it to and it works really well. I eventually bought the finer point nibs for it so it was easier to get into small areas. As for the smell....I, too am sensitive to smells and get migraines easily but the Gamsol doesn't bother me at all! I hope you try it if you haven't yet and that it works well for you :)
@@Jenna_Bug Thanks so much Jenifer that's very encouraging to know. I appreciate your help. I will definitely try it!
I didn't even know this was possible which is a shame because I would have been trying these things years ago but my art lessons at school were in the 1970's and this was never covered. Now at 60 I hope that I can find a whole new world of art and give all these new things a try. Thank you so much for doing this amazing video, I've now subscribed and look forward to more of your wonderful tutorials. I'm off to give this a go with my granddaughter and see how we get on :D :D :D
Thank you so much Kirsty, that’s a brilliant idea 💡 and it worked really really well. I really really love 💕 the cats 🐈 eye 👁 you did. Incredibly talented and clever xxx Mags
Your art work is absolutely amazing. You are so gifted. Thank you for all you share. GOD bless you my dear❤️👍
Thank you so much! I am so grateful to have watched this video. I hope that I will get a chance to use the nail solvent over the coored pencis. You have such an amazing touch....God bless you for sharing this.
no matter how much nail polish remover I use...my art still sucks 😂
Keep trying, don't give up! I bet you're better than you think 🙂
Yea keep trying many artists can be there worst credic
Try "The Black Square", and the blending will help with this. ;D
Or try to stylize your art to make it less photorealistic.
lol
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I wish all the butterflies were done with the same color for better comparison. Different colors may blend better than others, so all the same colors used would be better. Thanks again
Hello again, Kirsty, I already know its going to be another great video.
Dolly BA I hope you enjoy it 💕
I did! :)
Wow, some really good alternatives that you can find in and around the home! Thank you!
I use Gamsol odourless mineral spirits from Gamblin. I'm not sure if it's available to you in the U.K., but it's all I use and it's great. ☺️
Lovely, I like the nail polish remover and the zest it. I've tried baby oil, it was just a mess.
You opened a whole new world for me!
After watching this I finally ordered my zest it blending solution! Yaaay so excited! Though the alternatives were great too, thanks for sharing your ideas. Love your channel and your versatile use art materials and methods💗
i didnt know she was engaged, he is quite handsome tooooo
Aww he will appreciate that 😀
After have seen this, I tried babyoile, im very suprised. The color is so much more clear. Thank you so much for the tip 😊
Plz make a video on how to draw perfect outline for our sketch....
Hi Kirsty I am really a big fan of you and your art works as your videos have always encouraged me to try new things and I can better then before.
zest-it is only a rebranded citrus solvent, try Zep, Jantex or Just Orange. Zest-It is ridiculously expensive. Just Orange is about £10 a litre, Zest-it is about £10 for 125ml, the only difference is rebranding. ...so ten times more expensive for a little bottle and a logo.
U are my fav in the RUclips art family
this was nice to find, I am in the US and can't find the Zest it pencil blend, but polish remover did a great job and I have a bunch of that !
This is so handy to know..I found baby oil too greasy..so I used Zest it..but it’s handy to know about the nail varnish remover as I always have some in the house..thank you 😀
Distilled white vinegar on a sponge tip makeup applicator works very well. It makes the colors even more vibrant and saturated as well
This was fun & informative. What a cute couple you & your guy make! When I need just a bit of blending, I use my natural oil from my face (providing I'm not wearing make up or had just washed my face. Like you, I use a "cotton bud" which we call a Q tip hear in the U.S.
Watching you drawing is so relaxing and satisfying😄😄😄😄😄💞💞💞😆😆😆😆
8:20 in video duration, I love the opposites- I just can't stop admiring your art work.
I'm located in Riverside, CA as well.
Have you tried non acetone nail polish to blend colored pencils and do you notice a different between acetone nailpolish remover vs non acetone nail polish remover?
Always wondered how to blend pencils....solvents...who new! Great videos!
Watching you drawing the Cats eye was surprising. I’d have had NO idea how to even begin, and I was somewhat confused, “a cats eye”. It just made it more enjoyable to watch. The magical part happened toward the end. When I could actually see the size and shape of the reflection! OMG you’re a terrific artist. It’s boggles my mind how ppl draw the shading of a piece as they go along.
This is so cool!
Thank you 😊
This is my first time buying watercolor pencils, stupid me thought you really don’t use water lol.... well wrong. So after already coloring some of my felt color drawing (I can’t draw a straight line 😂) I am now going in with some baby oil.. thanks for your help, your cat eye is amazing so beautiful, so happy I stumbled onto your page.
Excellent. Fascinating. One thing I don't care for in colored pencils is all the time you have to spend building up the colors, but with the solvents it seems nearly as fast as water color.
Should all colored pencil pieces be blended? The colors are much more vivid... With a light fast solvent, wouldn't it be a better piece? Or does it depend on what you're drawing?
You are simply the BEST ⭐️❤️
Kirsty: "now i got hand santizer...
Me in 2019: Idk.
Me in 2020: GIMME SOOOOME!!!!
I usually use any solvent when I use pencils, I make small circles & it blends itself and is more time consuming, bu5 I don’t mind that so much, it’s very relaxing. But, I’m grateful that nail polish remover worked so well! Thanks so much for sharing this information! Blessings & hugs!
When I saw the thumbnail I thought you were going to bend pencils in a blender 😂
I very tried some of what you said we should try and they all work great
Kristy, hi. Love your channel! I have the best color pencil blending solvent on order. In the interim, I used rubbing alcohol last night to blend and it worked perfectly!
Awesome again!
Thank you dear have a nice Sunday
I think I would avoid the olive and coconut oils - they might go rancid over time...
Thank you so much for this! Now I'm wondering about alternatives to seal my watercolor cards.
You are AWESOME! Great teacher!
love the video. and you and Darby looking cute together. and one request to you can you tell to make a tutorial on league of legends game if he wanted to by the way sister you always look so flawless .
Wow, that was wonderful!! I'm sold on finger nail polish. I would have thought the best one would have been baby oil. Thanks again 😀
Your artistry is beautiful. So talented.
Kriste you good teaching and good drawing, I understand. V. V. Thanks.
Lovely. I have to try this out some day. But I'm so lazy... XD
Same
Same here, lmfao.
I liked the testing , very good!
Most interesting, and I adore your cat’s eye! Beautifully drawn. I use the blending pen from my Tombow Dual Brush marker set - this works so well on all sorts of media.
Thank you so much. I am a big fan of your work. 😍
What a way to go! I love your videos. Thanks for the inspiration and your professional talent!
That's one hell of a thumbnail.
Recently found out about your channel about a week ago, and I am SO glad I did! Your videos have helped me a huge, and I actually never knew something like nail polish remover or even coconut oils would blend pencils. :O
Really love how easy you explain things and I can say your channel has very much provided so much more detail and teachings about art than literally anything else! 😊
Intriguing, most interesting and useful. Thanks for all the new information and ideas, so useful. Can't wait to try them myself. In particular I was drawn to the nail polish remover & the gels that allow you to apply additional layers of pencil on top of the product. Thanks 😎
this video is really helpful. Thank you kirsty!
Zest it is my favourite and I love the orange scent. Nail polisher remover is good and really inexpensive, but the smell aggravates my nose. Thanks for sharing Kirsty 🙂
0:31 this made me feel tall for some reason
This video really helped me.Thanks.
I managed to add a layer of white on top of coconut oil using a Prismacolor Premier. I had to burnish quite hard but it worked very well.
you are my new favorite channel :D it is amazing what you can do with everyday stuff o.o
This helped me a lot. Thank you!
Wow! hand sanitizer works, few days ago I tried it but I was being a idiot and pressed the pencil really hard so it didn't work but after watching how you put the colour down so lightly I will try it out. Thanks for making this video!💜😊
That was so helpful and amazing thank you so much. It looked like fun can't wait to try it myself.😺👍
[thanks for the tutorial Very informative I learnt a lot
I've only used nail polish remover to blend because the only solvent that was available locally was paint thinner and I didn't trust it with the color pencils and I use a variety of cheap pencils with a handful of high-quality pencils.
Thanks for taking the time to share your finds, interesting.
I was impressed by this video. I am interested in trying hand sanitizer and coconut oil. I am glad that you tested this with so many different solvents and even tested the results with layers to see how well it would do because if I did this I probably would want to add layers once add one of the solvents.
For the USA You can find Zest-it on Amazon
Great job... nicely done ...love cat's eye.
VERY I interesting study. Thank you. The solvent in nail polish remover is acetone which may be purchased at your paint or DIY store at a small fraction of the cost. I will guess now from your results that melting some coconut oil and adding at least an equal amount of acetone (probably a much higher ratio) and then shaking well until it dissolves will give the best of both worlds: the melt of the acetone and the saturation of the oils. That’s what I’m going to try anyway.
I love this
I'm going to try this out
