How to Draw a Cardinal with Colored Pencils 

Excellent painting and tutorial. Thank you

I love your cardinal! I love birds and have a sketchbook filled with them. This video was right down my alley. Thanks!

Thank you for posting this tutorial to RU-vid. I learned a lot from it and decided to subscribe. I also appreciated how you allowed the colors to build instead of using a heavy hand. It made the finished work look very rich and vibrant. The way they handle layering is one of the reasons why I love polychromos pencils.

Thanks so much. This was a very clear and informative video of one of my favorite subjects. I appreciate that you were “to the point” and this was easy to follow. I feel that we are very fortunate that you offered this to us free of charge and included all of the details so that all of us could create a picture to be proud of. I wasn’t hounded into going to some other website or Patreon to get the outline or subtle details reserved only for special members. I won’t go to people’s Patreon, it’s not something I can afford. Thanks again so much for contributing to all of our art experience.

I tried to do a kingfisher a few days ago and wasnt happy with the result. You've inspired me to give it another go. Thank you, loved watching this come to life!

Thank you!! Color anxiety became an issue till now!

Hi Jeannette! Your artwork is so beautiful and amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with colored pencils. I've always loved colored pencil art and have tried some drawings. However, I am not an experienced artist, more of an advanced beginner :) so I really learned a lot from this video and your video on color. I am looking forward to the full length video of the cardinal so I can give it a try.

You are amazing. Not only in your artwork (stunning) but also in your ability to teach. Thank you so very much. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you! Learning so much from your tutorials❤

About 3 years ago I started with coloured pencils in colouring books then experimented with acrylics, watercolours, oil pastels, etc. I am far from proficient in any one medium but coloured pencils are always my favourite. Your tutorial really helped to take my colouring to the next level. Will you be making more such tutorials? I have subscribed and can’t wait for the next post!❤

Wow. Amazing!

Amazing with colored pencil I love it so so much

Very helpful, loved it!

WOW! Another incredibly helpful video. I love birds and have horrible luck with colouring feathers. ♥️♥️ Just found out you're a fellow west coast Canadian. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

❤❤❤

I’d watch portrait. Would be interesting to see how you work with skin tones. Thanks for video.

Ok, ok bingo. I am not a professional colored pencils artist. I can tell more tricks and technics with watercolor. I love colored pencil tecture I could never understand why some artists want to hurt their hand with flat thick layers for something that looks like bad oil painting. I tried it it is not good, maybe for certain areas like you said. It is much easier to paint with gouache, acrylic or oils than try to achive same look with colored pencils. Just in my expierence.

Fantastic tutorial. Do you have the outline we could print please . Thankyou

What kind of solvent did you use on the eye at the end?

What is the difference between using a pencil with a short or long tip? Thank you

Immensely enjoyed your violet shading, that is a gorgeous red ❤

Is that a custom desk you keep your pencils in?

とても参考になるビデオをありがとうございます。私は趣味でイラストや絵を描いて楽しんでますが人物画や植物図、そして自然の生き物の美しい羽毛や毛並みをよりリアルに再現して描きたいといつも思ってましたのでこのような色の使い方は大変参考になりました！ありがとうございます。これからも勉強したいです。

why start with eye
