BURNISHING? Colored Pencil Technique! How to Draw & Blend Smooth Skin Tone with PRISMACOLOR?

‪@BMDPortraits‬ shares another colored pencil drawing tutorial focusing on layering and blending smooth skin tone using the burnishing technique. I am using the Prismacolor Premier Colored pencil, a wax based colored pencil that requires a unique layering and blending technique. This is mostly a real-time drawing tutorial video where you will see the actual colored pencil drawing process. I tried to speak in English with this drawing tutorial so that i may reach every portrait artist, Filipinos and non-Filipinos,who struggle in using the prismacolor colored pencil in layering and blending realistic skin tone, that even i am not that good in English i hope everyone can understand this drawing tutorial video.
The paper that i use on this colored pencil tutorial is the Strathmore Bristoll 400 series smooth surface. And my reference photo is BLACKPINK Jisoo from new album called Venom.

[@justmemimi7338]

Your English is excellent, and you’re a very talented artist.

[@johnlogan5760]

Thank you very much for taking the time to do this “Real Time” video 🙏It really teaches us how to do all the important steps and showing the colors used is very helpful as well ! Please continue this process with other portraits as well. Going over this process with rough male textured skin would add even more instructional value. I really appreciate your attitude and heart to truly teach us that have just started drawing 😇 John

[@hassanalsaadi7728]

Thank you very much for your interest and quick response, I will buy the one you recommended because I may need five or six layers to blend well.

[@charleswaters9108]

The Best of the Best. Great instructions by a great Teacher.

[@BMDPortraits]

[@pawanarts5577]

[@brigetterussell3198]

Absolutely amazing, a big thank you, I enjoyed watching the whole video, you are a brilliant artist and I appreciate your time to demonstrate your techniques. I have prismacolor coloured pencils and I wanted to learn more on blending and layering. Also, your English is perfect and I live in Tasmania 😊.

[@KrishnaSharma-qy3bg]

[@cfergusonyogi]

Your explanations help so very much! Thank you for the Prismacolor tips! When you are explaining as you go, the video is not long. I learned a great deal ❤

[@alanwaibel7488]

I really appreciated this video. I’m trying to get my head around the process of making realistic skin tone, and this video helped a lot. A time lapse video would probably just confuse me. And I understood your English completely. I don’t think you need to apologize for your English at all. Thanks again.

[@shaecannon6446]

Just finishing the video and I LOVED seeing the entire process!!

[@BMDPortraits]

So glad!

[@gben5689]

You are a brilliant artist ! and your English is very good - you don´t need to apologies at all for it :)

[@michaelferoli3978]

The pencil sounded like a baby butter flys wings hitting the paper. Unbelievable ii was memorized for the entire video. Totally blown away. I have drawing and painting for over 40 years and just started using colored pencils and I'm glad I started with your videos. The bar is set above and beyond, but if I get half as good in 5 years I will be happy.

[@BMDPortraits]

Thank you so much 😀

[@HeruPrime]

Seeing the full process was very helpful for me because I am still learning how to master colored pencil portraits. So, if you can make more of these, especially with features and hair, that'll be great. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@jungkookstans143]

Nice drawing of JISOO

[@mshelthy]

[@angeldoll7702]

Outstanding real-time video! I’m not an artist but a beginning colorist and I paid for a class that was good for learning how to layer color pencils for skin tone coloring and your video is the icing on the cake! Most KZbin skin tone color pencil layering are way to fast. Your real time layering was slow enough for me to grasp the technique. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you!!!

[@BMDPortraits]

You are so welcome!

[@jollyartist4036]

Your English is actually good.. much appreciated

[@EktaShah82]

Although I don't work in realism such as you I just want to say that this should be a go to video for pencil artists, just beautiful, your patients is amazing and your work reflects it. FYI, you have great English but I would of gladly watched this in subtitle in your language itself. Amazing video. 👏

[@BMDPortraits]

Wow, thanks a lot!

[@vandenart5719]

Beautiful girls ❤️😻😍

[@derekmitchell1738]

Kamusta sir! I am new to your channel and I am so glad I found you. First, I want to say that I live in the U.S., but I have friends in the Philippines that I communicate with often and I want you to know that your English is PERFECT! I understand every word you say, so do not be concerned about that. Also, do not be concerned about the video being too long or boring because it is NOT. You offer very valuable instruction in your videos - for Free - and it is worth watching every minute of the video. We very much appreciate the knowledge you are passing on to us. Salamat! I am learning how to use pastel pencils and I have many questions I want to ask you, but for now, I will ask you only 2 questions: 1. Which do you prefer using, pastel pencils Or colored pencils? 2. Which do you find easiest to use, pastel pencils Or colored pencils? I will wait for your answers and I will communicate with you again in the future. Sincerely, Derek (aka Mindanao)

[@BMDPortraits]

Wow, u really watched d vid, i appreciate it, this really adds up to my confidence, thanks a lot, regarding ur question, both are amazing medium, and produce great output, however i find pastel easier use because its super easy to blend, but unlike color pencil pastels only work on certain type of paper, like sanded papers, which can be very expensive, and so hard to find.

[@goartschool2675]

Really beautiful artwork 🥰🥰 New joined. Stayconnect my friend 🥰🥰🥰

[@williamduren215]

Thanks.

[@RavenSaint1]

I have noticed that as long as I don't let the tip dull down too much. I can keep it sharp without losing a lot of the pigment core to the sharpener. I went from a mid to large sized baby food jar for my sharpening leavings. I used to use the pigment leavings for blank backgrounds to finger shade. Watercolor pencils were good for this way of using up the shaved pigment cores. Now I have very little pigment shavings to use. I get cheaper pencils to get pigment shavings from for those blank backgrounds. I used Prismacolor when I was younger and had gotten pretty good at horse portraits and scapes. Since I have started back into the pencils. I got a pretty good selection from Cra-Z-Art when school supplies showed up at the local Wally world. About 100 pencils and I've been using printer paper. Doesn't look bad at all. It is good for working back up to the selection I had as a teen. I hope to get back to being able to draw horses and orchids again. Maybe include other flowers and such from all over my property now that I am retired and have a lot of time to do this sort of thing. I just have to say, blacks and the near blacks are used up very fast. I have to think of getting pencils that I can buy singles to replace the mostly used colors. Any suggestions of higher quality pencils, besides Prismacolor (I know I can buy singles from them, but they don't have good watercolor pencils

[@BMDPortraits]

Caran d'ache luminance, is d best but too expensive, i hav not tried any derwent, but i heard they have great soft pencils too, i hear a lot of good things about Castle Arts, hope i can try it soon and its a lot cheaper

[@alysonwesche8466]

Thank you sharing for your amazing skills! I'm a fan, and your English is excellent. Do you offer a tutorial for lighter complexions? If I have missed one I apologize. Thank you again, I have been struggling with the last part of the blending process. Truly appreciate your videos.

[@BMDPortraits]
