Any requests for next week's lesson, please post below (I can cover pencil drawing, ink drawing, charcoal. pastel pencils, coloured pencils, pen & watercolour). Any subject matter.

[@_flagg]

I propose an urban landscape in ink with some splashes of watercolor :)

[@elsasposaro]

Muchas gracias! Art Tutor siempre tan generoso! Me encantaría ver paisaje en lápiz pastel. Saludos!

[@patytrico]

A cat in charcoal or graphite? I would like that :) Thank you, wonderful class as always. Stay safe.

[@triciashaw1973]

I’d love to see a pencil drawing of an Australian eucalyptus tree

[@martincassar2168]

I think we should do a pencil ✏️ drawing swing different shading skills of animals; maybe a dolphin 🐬 or an elephant 🐘

[@manthasagittarius1]

That's it. I've been looking at and enjoying tutorial videos of colored pencil art for a good while, for techniques, experience, practical suggestions, clarity, and simplicity. And a little humor. But that empathic awareness of the cognitive place of the untrained beginner, that the competent artist left behind years ago, that is what marks a gifted teacher. I have found my teacher. Subscribing today.

[@attadudepc]

For the life of me i have no idea why your channel isn't off the charts!! You're a brilliant artist and a great teacher

[@scannan]

It’s going to take a while before the smell and taste leaves me! That is stunning.

[@kjmav10135]

I have taken dozens of drawing classes, and I have never heard the “straight lines” tip. thank you!

[@teresagross699]

That is awesome!!! I would like to see a beautiful tree pencil drawing. Step by step. 👍

[@VixSy333]

The color selection process-worth it’s weight in gold. I’m guilty of over-purchasing, and that just leads to distraction. I can see this being a foundational change for me. Thank you!

[@igorm8110]

I've gone with the Faber Castel 60 piece Polychromos set but the first thing I've done is a manual colour chart on a whole A4 sheet, with all the numbers and names. I won't lie, I like having a larger set and I don't mind spending a little extra since I don't spend money on entertainment very much (like going to pubs often). Anyway, the manual colour chart makes it much more easier to set my needed colours aside rather than looking at the wooden texture of the pencil.

[@lynnjones6386]

Thank you so much! This is one of the best tutorials I've seen because you talk your way through all your choices and actions. I honestly think I can do this, and I'm just a beginner at art. Amazing work.

[@taty1997]

2 years late😂 ---- Just stopped by this channel, thank you so much. You show us step by step and it makes it soo much easier!

[@swatijain_nov]

What an excellent detailed lesson! Thank you so much for all your efforts in sharing your knowledge with us! 🙏❤️

[@juststartingover2735]

Thank you for the detailed demonstration. Always enjoy and appreciate your tutorials.

[@clarefriend1376]

Thank you for these. It helps to have something to do and keeps my creative juices flowing.

[@larryglatt2548]

Thank you. Your thinking out loud process was MOST interesting & informative.

[@barefacedquestions]

Thank you for gifting us such a great lesson. The part on choosing colors in particular is gold.

[@flychk1229]

This is a great lesson!

[@lilatoff]

What a super video! I had no idea that Art Tutor was closing down and am sad to hear this. However, I am absolutely delighted to find you on here. Thank you for these fantastic tutorials... among the best on the Internet that I have come across!

[@veramann3307]

Thank you very much for the wonderful lessons , I enjoyed drawing and learn about all the colours I needed for the lemon edge. You are a great teacher and gave me a lot of confidence with my art skills so I will do one of your lessons every day! Have a great weekend !

[@kerryfauchon8564]

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent to us all at this time. I will happily accept anything you decide with joy and gratefulmess.

[@THESHOMROM]

BRILLIANT! I learned a great deal. Your instruction is spot on. THANK YOU.

Excellent lesson and explanation! thank you!

[@Jeanne88B]

Brilliant! I loved this and I am so happy I found your channel!

[@LorraineTapper]

I never knew you could do so much with coloured ✏! The lime looks really juicy!

[@SheridansSojourn]

Terrific lesson. Can't wait to try.

[@johnnysolow]

Enjoyed that a lot...never really thought you could get anything that good just from crayons. Cheers!!

[@martimalaspina6385]

Wonderful lesson.... thank you very much 😁

[@lesleylampasona7950]

Awesome, I’m definitely going to try this, I’m loving your tutorials

[@annabelleavila6593]

Your artwork is amazing!!! Thanks so much for these wonderful tutorials. I would love to see a tutorial using watercolor pencils!! 🥰

[@bampidraws]

Same!

[@jpsan582]

Awesome lesson, thank you!

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

Terrific tutorial. Loved the result! Thanks for the excellent narration, makes a big difference. I have some oranges so will try this! I have some good toned paper that I will try for colored pencil, too.

[@mikaelium192]

you really explained it well and taught me something new, thank you!

[@janeholloway8596]

Thank you very much for the lesson. I learnt a lot. I always say I'm not a drawer but now I think will try.

[@art_julio_lancis]

This is so realistic 👏 🖍️ great job 👍 💯

[@sapphirewyren02]

this is amazing. This video makes me believe that I can do this with fruit or any other drawing. Thank you.

[@gjschlink664]

Excellent! I enjoyed watching the lime come to form as if it was actually a real piece of fruit. I will give this a try, myself, with the confidence of your lead. Thank you for sharing. You have a pleasant voice to teach with, and that is good to keep attention on the drawing!

[@rebeccanewberry3176]

This was SUCH an awesome video! It was so detailed, and covered all the aspects I could've hoped for (the drawing part was super helpful). I'm a painter and I've never used colored pencils for realism like this before. I was surprised that you didn't grab any reds to desaturate the green, and it turned out beautifully. I think it's great that you recommend such limited supplies. I can't wait to try this now. Thanks so much!

[@lynnnicholas5832]

Great tutorial. Thank you

[@lorrainemanning3809]

Superb tutorial, love the way you explain everything. Excellent. I will definitely be given this a go. Thank you

[@stephaniewright4719]

This is terrific! Thank you

[@Daisies1a]

Thanks Phil- I’m hooked! 🤨

[@mysterygirl3025]

It's so nice 👍 I like your teaching skill

[@champfeilden3674]

Thank you so much for this tutorial as I had lost my nerve about starting a new drawing and now I will try the tangerine segment!

[@daveanderson8776]

Awesome tutorial ! 🎨😉👍🏼 I learned a lot about color pencils ✏️ and how to use them great medium!

[@lizziedae91]

Just found your channel, not sure how ive never come across it before but im glad i did

[@scarlettsunz2099]

I think this is the best tutorial for beginners ever! I love the step by step. I'm new and really want to try realism with food....I went and bought $10" in alcohol markers, then realized I can't get this realistic effect with markers. So now I have to save up for some Faber colored pencils lol.

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

WoW!!! Tfs! Be well! ✨👍🏾

[@AbiNomac]

I love this channel.

[@edmundosherrera]

Wonderful Thank you so much

[@priyankasingh4811]

Co asm I see whole class thank you 😊 👏 🙌

[@johnnysolow]

Love to see one on pastels, especially pastel sticks, or charcoal...though tend to avoid charcoal as I make such a mess! Bit of a contradiction there as I make a fine mess with pastels...

[@phildavies6274]

John Rigg I’ll do some pastel pencil and charcoal lessons in the next couple of weeks (charcoal next week)

[@johnnysolow]

@@phildavies6274 Fantastic. I'll be watching!

[@mogsya3367]

thank you for sharing this. I have followed your tutorial and posted to Facebook. Not sure how to post to the Isolation Art Challenge page but hey ho. thank you again loved the tutorial :-)

[@haileymorris174]

My lime looks way different but this was my favorite tutorial I have found even though mine isn't realistic really it came out so neat!

[@melindastephens9874]

enjoyed this tutorial I still had heaps of trouble picking the colours but think I did ok in the end. Thank you

[@sarahmason84]

I LOVE IT LIKE OMG LIKE YES

[@daniloarts588]

very nice sir.what kind or brand of drawing paper did you used for this?thank you

[@jessicalauren642]

Is it any use using pen with coloured pencils such as for hair. So far difficulty colouring pencil sketches, blending skin tone and details such as hair.

[@jessicalauren642]

To get more fine lines such as hair in a portrait is it any use to use pens with the coloured pencils? How are people gettinf such a refined result with just the coloured pencils. As well if you sketch first in pencil then its hard to remove the grey.

[@lynnetiltman1001]

Boats!! Yachts, fishing boats, speed boats etc please

[@romaisblooming]

I highly respect realism in color pencil, but I am wondering if there are any artists who have successfully used color pencil in a more impressionistic way. I LOVE color pencil, but have no desire to do realism. That being said, I enjoyed this tutorial and learned many helpful things.

[@martincassar2168]

I think we should do a pencil drawing using different shading skills of animals; maybe a dolphin 🐬 or elephant 🐘

What if you don't have gray paper? Can you just use a normal pencil and normal paper?

[@RositaaaAAaa]

What paper do u use

[@JohnMmbaga_]

Asante sana (Swahili for THANK YOU VERY MUCH!)

[@jokers_revenge52]

To make good art with colored pencils you need red blue yellow white and black (the primary colors) you also need practice

[@garthok6224]

There are electric sharpeners with auto stop... In case you didn't know. They actually eat a pencil less than a manual one. They are expensive tho..

[@hungngoc8842]

Thanks for share, but why my result different? :(

This fruit draw a shading of drawing is very interesting and even I tried I it was it does it record but it was very easy

[@XofHope]

Nice! But the brand isn't completely irrelevant. The typical Caran d'Ache pencils are watercolour and will never produce the kind o vibrant colours oil/wax based ones do (at least not using the same techniques). Trust me, I have years of frustration trying to understand why my drawings always looked washed out and not like the ones in the drawing books (the internet is such a great thing!).

[@PhilDaviesArtist]

I was talking about traditional coloured pencils (wax/oil based) rather than water-soluble pencils, which I consider I different medium.

[@XofHope]

@@PhilDaviesArtist Certainly, but it doesn't hurt mentioning it, since there may be many beginners watching. When it comes to Cd'A, in my country, I've never seen other than the watercolor ones. Until very recently I wasn't even aware they also made wax/oil pencils. But my alert was mostly for people who may not even be aware that the techniques are very different and working dry with watercolor pencils will never resemble what you did here. As a beginner it happened to me, I wasn't aware of the difference and it resulted in a lot of frustration.

[@phildavies6274]

XofHope that’s a fair point, thank you

[@devconnors9462]

@@XofHope so what's the best pencils???I need help D:

[@XofHope]

@@devconnors9462 It really depends on what you want to achieve. When coloured pencils are mentioned it's usually the oil/wax based ones, like in this tutorial. I can't help with which brands are best because I don't actually use them. Water colour pencils usually produce softer, less vibrant pieces because they're meant to be watered down, just like watercolours. They can produce something more ethereal, more painterly and less realistic than the good wax based ones. I really don't know how else to explain it... search for watercolour pencil drawings and tutorials and see the difference yourself.

[@roxanneosterling9009]

Some people do need all those pencils of different colors because they are not skilled at understanding color theory and how to make colors from other colors. So just because you can make every color you need with 24 pencils doesn't mean that everyone else can and that would mean that yes they do need those pencils.

[@ronnipaints6128]

I have to get better pencils. I have the cheap no brand kind that are so hard they give very little color payback.

[@PoiPainting_art]

Hi, nice to meet you... I really like all your videos, bro, for me your videos are very interesting.... and I hope you can guide me so that my channel can also develop like your channel, bro... Anyway, I'm waiting for your guidance. , and thank you very much in advance
