I'm mainly self-taught and I've been trying to get back into coloured pencils as an art medum, and this video was exactly what I needed, glad to have seen it in my recommended. I often layer mine on markers, but it's frankly speaking a whole different ballgame to use my pencils on their own. Several art classes I had to take for school neglected to teach me the basics of coloured pencils, but forced me to buy a really nice set for school anyways without me even knowing how to use it properly. I honestly didn't know about the difference between wax-based and oil-based pencils until I looked things up online! So thank you for picking up their slack. If you're explaining things in a way that even an autistic artist like myself can understand, then you can safely say that you're a good teacher. How is your channel this underrated? Can't wait to really try out those 4 tins of Decotime pencils I have lying around in my bookcase.

Thank you for helping me better understand the color wheel and using transitional colors to create nice gradients! This is something I've struggled with and with this information and using the color wheel as a reference guide, I think I can finally use pretty much any set of colored pencils to create something I actually like!

I've started doing coloring and I really like the combo of pink and honey yellow. I use the white of the page to blend instead of just going from one to the other, and I add a pop of bright yellow/pink to either side and blend those two with the milder colors. I also really love burnishing with a completely different color than I'm using in the gradient, such as a ochre or blush pencil over greens and browns. Thanks for the video :)

I sometimes have episodes of synesthesia, where I basically see these gradient colors when I’m listening to music. I’ve been trying to find some sort of art method to try and express what I see. Next to LED sculptures and 3-D modeling/animations, what you’ve shown here is my absolute favorite method so far. Very hands on and foundational it seems. Also there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of materials used (unless you count all the pencils, lol) I purchased your book in the description and will definitely be ordering a set of prismas. Maybe when I get skilled in pencil and paper I can move onto the 3D and LED ideas I have. Thanks once again for the video!

So, not exactly the point of this... but, I'm actually really happy to know how to get those swampy, murky, but still vivid colors. This could actually be really beneficial for a lot of stuff. I'm thinking doing eyeshadow, dying yarn, and even choosing colors to marl together when knitting or crocheting with multiple strands of yarn.

A simple 3 color gradient so I didn’t feel sad or discouraged if it didn’t work… I went for the 3 violets on the 24 Prismacolor pack… and I did it. Omg. I am impressed with myself. Thank you!!!!

Many years ago I was creating the skies for the orginal Spyro the Dragon games (on the computer, not with colorpencils) and I kept having trouble with this muddy green band appearing in the gradations between warm yellow/orange sunrise/sunsets and the blue/purples of the darker sky. It was kind of driving me nuts until one evening I went out to look at a sunset and, low and behold... there was a subtle, muddy green band in the smooth gradation of the sunset! (I went out to watch the sunrise the next morning and noticed the same) At that point I decided if Mother Nature couldn't fix the muddy band I wasn't going to worry too much about it. (Although I did soften it using a method similar to the one you showed here when using colored pencils)

@novalovaaa
@novalovaaa 8 месяцев назад
Thank you so much for this! I learned so much because I prefer drawing in black and white with pencil or with pen so I have very little experience in coloured pencil. I'm in year 9 and I want to take art over spanish for GCSE (which sucks because I'm strong in both subjects and I love both), I'm currently in the middle of doing a baseline for my starting grade and I have to create 3 shoes in pencil, pen and coloured pencil. I got a 7 for the pencil and pen but I'm still doing the coloured pencil. I just discovered burnishing and it makes blending SO much easier, but I ended up going in with a white pencil way too early on and I was wondering why I couldn't really add any more layers onto the dark parts and now I know why. It's obviously a mistake I can learn from but it's a bit annoying, thanks though, I think I'll try this instead and I feel like going over with a white pencil makes your dark areas lighter too which is inconvenient so ty ty!
