It's been 10 months, what novel are you working on?

@@danishlee9162 Oh- i forgot i made this comment haha. I made this novel for fun only. I putted it in my drafts. The novel was about this planet that had 5 lands on them. each and everyone one of them had a queen and king. This planet was strange by the way. They were like aliens, but with powers. The queens were the ones with most power. Sometimes they can turn into great big monsters but they don't do that or they will scare the little ones, plus it's for battles only. This one queen had an abusive husband and was forced to have a baby with him since of there parents. So basically they did. When she was pregnant, she killed the husband. She cried and cried but she knew it was worth it. She hid the body under the ground, 6 feet, burned everything that had in touch with the gun or his blood and boom. It was done. She went to sleep in fear. One day, she went to the hospital by herself since she started feeling a little pain on the bottom of her back. BOOM There was a explosion on the other land. It was so big, all of the other lands saw it. Millions were killed. the novel was interesting tbh, i loved it. Wanna hear more?

@@danishlee9162 it's science fiction and adventure.

@@evildoggo8162 sure

You are so welcome! Check out the Basic stone tutorial for a purple one ;)

Thank you so much. I have a written faceted Gem tutorial on my etsy if you would like. also to get the highlight without a gel pen you could use acrylic paint or map it out like I did in my first ever 'gem' video. here is the link for that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wnKiVER7Cpo.html and here is the Faceted gem tutorial!! www.etsy.com/listing/453425220/pdf-faceted-gem-tutorial?ref=shop_home_feat_4 I hope you enjoy!!

my pleasure dear!

thank you so much! I am working on a faceted tutorial it will be on my Etsy shop :)

Hi Cindy! Gems are so addictive and thank you! To make the highlights and have them be very white in order to stand out no, you can't substitute a white pencil. however if you draw in the hightlights first and them color around them using the paper for the white, that can work. :)

I scratch it back and forth on a scrap piece of paper to get if flowing first, then I use it lightly and barely touch the paper, Its more like touching the gel itself to the paper and letting it flow out :)

Thank you, All I do is gems, I don't really do any other type tutorials I do have a tiger print gem though. Here is the link for that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-It5k6g_4tPs.html

thank you! Yes you can grab a whole bag off of amazon or find them at your favorite hobby store, here is my affiliate link to them on amazon amzn.to/39IFLon

@@VitruvianArt thanks a ton !

it could be? it could be that you need a different gel pen.

Dianne ALLEN I have two for coloring labradorite :)

you can use any pencils and any paper.

Thank you and I do teach classes privately

im not sure what you are asking Cleo, I didn't color the setting on either of these.

I think those will work just fine! :D

Nowadays that is almost all I do is faceted gems, they are my favorite!! I have both written and video tutorials on how to do them on my etsy site. etsy.com/shop/vitruvianart and you can see mine and lots of others on facebook either on my art page or in my gem group

It makes all the time worth it to hear you say you could do it!! Im soo glad! Thank you for letting me know!

I don't remember, maybe Prangs?? I made this quite a while ago

Vitruvian Art wow I'm surprised, they have that brand here at Staples and they don't cost much at all. :-)

yeah i have some.. somewhere, i don't use them anymore but i liked them when I did use them

I know this is meant as a compliment. So thank you for that.

Yes you can

No there isn't , these are just a student grade pencil so the name are like yellow green, light green, dark green and so on. I don't remember what all I used. But that is kind of the point, if you don't know then you can use whatever you would like ^.^

Thanks for your response. Your video is so easy to follow. Love your art work too... Do you hold classes?

mzcroppycat i have some online classes on etsy for gems. But if you mean in front of people like a classroom no. There is not enough local interest for something like that

Vitruvian Art any recommendations on pencil brands? Thank you,
