Persistence and Precision: How Colored Pencil Changed Jesse Lane's Life 

Photo Realism is the most challenging art form, in my opinion, & this guy nails it with absolute perfection! It’s so hard to capture light & it’s movement in any art form & he makes it seem so effortless. I can’t even fathom the amount of work & time it takes to achieve this level of realism. So much talent! 🤗

That pencil collection!

Your patience and Lightfast collection are enviable.

took my breath away, The wow factor for sure.

What a wonderful person, artist, role model and motivational... Jesse you are more than enough. Many young people struggling with their sense of self and their confidence would benefit of watching this. Thanks for posting

Yes, we are enough! Thanks for the message. You have such a great talent, keep drawing!

Absolutely stunning!! He has taken colored pencils to a higher level!

Oh good grief, he's AMAZING!

Amazing! Jesse’s work is amazing as well as everything he said! 👏👏👏👌👌👌

What an extraordinary story! And just incredible art. The realism is fantastic and beautiful. Persistence indeed!

Incredible work. I love using coloured pencils (in colouring books, I can't draw well) and seeing them blend together to create something beautiful. Your work is on a whole other level, though, so much so that I just had to find you on Instagram to see more! I particularly love how you blend the hyper-realism with the fantastical and mythological - it's just breathtaking. 😊❤

Your artwork is beautiful. Im artist myself and I can relate to a lot of what you're saying and doing. I struggle with mental health issues. Its hard for me to do a lot of things from anxiety and depression. I feel like I can express myself threw art and show people a side of me that they don't see. Jesse you are a phenomenal artist and human being.

You are enough! I am enough! We all are enough, we just need to start our day knowing that to achieve the things we set out to achieve. Post that on your mirror, or something that reminds you of that. Love your work!

What a beautiful encouraging video. Thank you for sharing. Your art is STUNNING!!!! 🙋🏻

I am so proud of you!! You are simply amazing!!! ❤

god damn, an inspiring message to not just colored pencil artists, but everyone. I accidentally found this video looking for colored pencil videos. Jesse Lane has been one of my favorite artists and biggest inspirations for a few years now. Glad I saw this gem.

Wow-what AMAZING work!!! Gorgeous and astonishing!

You are more than enough. Your artwork is exceptional and creates an emotional response - not easy to achieve. Thanks for sharing your personal story.

And here you were when I typed in colored pencil. One of my favorite artists in the world. And a swiffer....drove myself mad looking for a drafting brush in a small town area. Total genius.

Awesome heart and talent!! ❤️👏🏻

Absolutely incredible! He must have the patience of Job!

A freakin mazing.

I am amazed at the thousands of dollars worth of pencils in that room. It looks like an add for Derwent. But this guy is really good

Amazing Man!!!

wonderfulllll

Amazing

Love it ❤️

Thanks for this video: it's such amazing work! And... I love his studio ;) But what was best at least for me is, that we could see the beginning of a drawing - and these basic layers looked just like mine :D - this gives so much motivation to try on and on, to see what can be achieved.

What paper does this artist use. I love colored pencils and I've been wanting to make large scale pieces that are still archival

You are amazing! I love that you pointed out that you are enough, your art is enough. This is something very tough to acknowledge. Self doubt is an intregal part of an artists psyche when you first begin. I am 60 and still experience self doubt. Thank you for inspiring me to overcome that!

I didn’t know it was a derwent ad

Great work brother

Hi Jesse, I noticed you very interesting electric sharpener with its diferent pencil sized openings. Please advice its make and details as I use differing sizes and at present are limited by the opening on my mechanical one. I look forward to your reply Thanks and Regards JB

someone wanted a life time of lightfast pencils XD

💜💕💗

Does this guy live in an artist supply shop? My local shop carries less colored pencils than him.

🤓 Art Genius

Looked like a paid job for Derwent ha ha ha, beautiful work young man

Jesse is so inspirational and a genuine good guy. What a talent!!
