Colored Pencil Techniques - 3 Approaches

[@wapowell5084]

With me being new to CP this has really helped me greatly. Thanks a lot.

[@DEAD-FROM-NY]

Canson paper also come in dozens of colors, Many artist uses a pale gray or cream color so the the white colored pencil give really good highlights as those areas are whiter than the paper. Check some old masters drawings.

[@DeaLenihan]

Dora Glasberg yes it’s nice to have that layer of dimension already there in the colored paper.

[@goodwitchchan]

My favorite is the second one!

[@roxylamour1119]

Mine too

[@jordanweaver9658]

most are, the hatching (1st one) created a look of a rougher surface to the sphere, the layering (2nd one) creates a smooth texture almost like clay, and that's typically more appealing

[@CaryDunlap]

I like the second and third techniques... the second is more realistic but the third is easier to achieve.

[@ethanvr22]

I hate this guy he needs to go to hell

[@billstamford1043]

You Sir have given me hope for employing coloured pencils in my drawings. For once I am understanding the application of the media.

[@tylermullen7846]

how do you use a colored pencil i have no hands

[@aidanb5595]

t

[@Therealhatepotion]

when you do it it looks so easy when i do it it seems so complex! nice job and thanks for the tons of useful info

[@Thebes17]

I did it!!! I did it! !! Thanks so much! I even did it with orange. I think I like the layer and cross hatching technique.

[@sagarschannel9170]

I'm just working on my object drawing with pencil colors also thanks for the perfect tutorial really loved it.🥰🤗

[@khenaringo265]

Did you try adding pastel in Color pencil?

[@DEAD-FROM-NY]

For me the medium seems to dictate my technique. I use hatching for pen and ink but have always gravitated or simply automatically used. the rolling ball technique for colored pencil. Chalk always finger blending.

[@Unidentifiedsinger10]

On the second drawing approach, how much pressure are you using when you circle it. I draw a lot, but I haven't really done too much with colored pencils, and am just curious.

[@1DaTJo]

This a beautiful meditation for me. As well as fun!

[@sharkiechen2881]

what brand of white color pencil do you use ? it is ... so WHITE.

[@snowonder024]

maybe a prisma coloured pencil? they are really good pencils.

[@NoblesseObligedCP]

snowonder024 eww prismacolor suck they use to be good before they went to mexico after they sold it. Caran D'Ache makes a very opaque white that is extremely lightfast but they cost a lot. The Luminance (wax based) set not the Pablos (oil based).

[@NoblesseObligedCP]

***** That seems to be the thing, they always had problems with the core though. It's because they are not bonded to the wood. Now though the casings are off center a lot and casing is is not sturdy. The core are also super soft they don't hold a point for long at all and a very prone to breaking the tip and inside.

[@SunDogBRU]

+Shelfen The staircase have you tried using an electric sharpener? i've heard that helps.

[@tiagodagostini]

+Shelfen Well the definition of what is a lot really might be the issue. I never ever saw a Faber Castell Polychromo or a Caran Ache pencil break a point even ONCE while sharpening. The only way I can imagine those pencil breaking a point is by falling into the ground AND being stepped into by someone using heavy boots while dancing polka.

[@freyayang3762]

What paper do you use? Can I draw on watercolour paper?

[@artmaven]

In the first one, shouldn't those hatching strokes be following the cross contours of the sphere?

[@christopherpanacopoulos6603]

I have to poop so bad also what do you do if you dont know how to color?

[@RaynethxOllieable]

you can you apply this techinique with sketchbooks?, also i use faber castell which gives off a very bright pigment.

[@ColleenPhoto]

How did you achieve the white on top of existing colored areas? Using Prismacolor Premiere pencils, can't get as distinct a white as you do in this video.

[@DeaLenihan]

Colleen Pfeilschiefter it helps that the paper is grey.

[@OrchidGood]

can you make it a habit to list the materials you use in your tutorial per video please please :o)

[@s02229]

I got a coloring book and I know nothing about drawing. How do you even do that. I know even if I follow the instructions I won't be able to draw remotely as good

[@DeaLenihan]

Ho Yan Law you can copy the pages of your coloring books on a copier so you can practice and not worry. Colored pencil uses MANY layers. If I were to give a tip I would say if your pictures don’t look great just keep going...they are probably just not finished. Start with light layers and keep adding.

[@duakhan-dj4eg]

hello sir you have done great job can you tell how we blend colours to get shady result?plzz reply

[@thucster5]

when you blend, what is your coloring pattern to create a more realistic texture?

[@squiggles114]

He said circles

[@ArchitectureDrawingsAcademy]

Very useful thing. Thanks!

[@sippingthatsoda]

i just cant stopping imagining the mom from the blind side talking it literally sounds just like her

[@pelochan4583]

Why you used green with blue instead of darker green? If i use a local color for example yellow then i mix it with what color? Red or darker yellow?

[@squiggles114]

Maybe he used those colors cause blue and yellow make green? Plus it makes it darker

[@squiggles114]

also the shadows are not always black or darker versions of the color

[@montaguebarnabasltd]

GREAT VIDEO!!! Thanks so much for the upload --- I loved it!

[@patri_crea]

I noticed that they are very powdery and white covers other colors. Faber-castle? But not policromos? thank you ^^

[@Sarah-said]

Prismacolor pencils

[@danielayala3170]

what happens if the paper feels steel hard.. how does someone put different layers of color in a paper like that?

[@musicparty1990]

So you never paint with "full force" instead you give small touches?

[@mrs.cochrans8386]

using polychromos by Faber-Castell that are oil based maybe that's why my white does not color well?

[@JamesTindaleArt]

Excellent, well done, thank you.

[@AngelaJonesPoetryStoriesArt]

wonderful information, thanks for posting

[@hardaor69]

Hey dude, thank you for the help, but i really can't understand how the white pencil works, is it the kind of paper that makes the difference? Or the pencils brand? I use Faber-Castell and I can't use the white pencil...

[@sniperwiper32]

White pencil will not "be white" over other colour pencils. CP are not opaque enough to cover. Maybe it works over a light watercolour wash or CP with OMS ( odourless Mineral Spirit) but i havent tried so i cant really say for sure. Have a look at my tiger portrait and notice the whiskers, www.deviantart.com/art/Tiger-drawing-333153964 they dont truly show up as white. The trick is not to press too hard , light light pressure and many layers.

[@Archetype00]

is it okay if i use compliment color to establish the shadow/darker tone?

[@TheRXStudios]

cyrus matutina Absolutely honestly you could use just about any color, it's just usually shadows are cool because lighting on earth like the sun is a warm tone

[@parkerp6495]

im color blind what colors are those

[@NathanielEssix]

Regarding the pressure used with each pencil, I'm a beginning art student, and I'd like to learn more, but my teacher states that full pressure is to be used with a colored pencil, in order to remove white areas, however when dealing with these techniques, I'm unsure what level of pressure to apply to each pencil/type, any tips?

[@greyy4538]

[@zeinabahmad3806]

Pretty sure it's prismacolor

[@ericdeleon93]

what kind of color pencils do you guys recommend

[@jordanweaver9658]

the best and most cost efficient is probably the Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils

[@ericdeleon93]

+SoulEater859 thanks

[@linda_tami]

The one I've made incredible experience with were Fabercastell Polychromos,they are really expensive but in my opinion they worth the money

[@snowy1342]

thanks for the techniques

[@siakontia8426]

Which one do you sujest is the best way of doing it?

[@snowonder024]

probably depends on what you are drawing

[@snowonder024]

I think I like the second drawing the best, but they all are good!

[@siakontia8426]

Brenda Vee Thanks ... 😒

[@snowonder024]

[@goawayok2008]

[@sniperwiper32]

Stonehenge paper is good for colour pencils, and i`ve heard from a very good CP Artist that Fabriano Artistico HP is the dogs nads :) Hope this helps.

[@hunterkeiser6121]

Carl Lloyd the dog's nads.......CONGRATULATIONS!!! you have officially blown my mind as this is a saying that i am sure i've NEVER heard.

[@jeffm5119]

What’s up fellas

[@helloitsmeitsme16]

nice!

[@bindir_dundat]

Really helpful tutorial.

[@danielayala3170]

I have a question would you be able to help?

[@coffeechu7803]

Ur question hasnt been answered

[@gummybear2700]

I can use cheap colouring pencils right?

[@RootinTootinShootinBeingKind]

+Karl M. Yes you can use cheap colored pencils. Though results might vary depending on how cheap your colored pencil is and how waxy the color/lead is and how they layer. But In general these are basic techniques. Use for any colored pencil. Even crayola.

[@gummybear2700]

Ah ok, thank you :)

[@zhitero]

+Melanie Tong I use Faber Castell color and don't find same results...what color pencils can you suggest please

[@RootinTootinShootinBeingKind]

+Jethro Jeaven Merin You might be experiencing a difference because Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils are more oil based, instead of more waxed based like most colored pencils. Which means your colored pencils may be more intense because you can layer better and don't experience something called a "Wax bloom" that quickly.(I also heard that oil colored pencils can blend better) In general, I don't think you need different color pencils. Faber Castell's are pretty pricey and are less prone to the lead breaking inside the case like wax colored pencils (And the one of the most popular brand of Oil color pencils). And it could be that, you put a lot of pressure making it not seem so gradient like. I recommend that you look up the difference between Oil and Wax colored pencils, so you can work with it. But... If it really causes you trouble... Popular wax based artist colored pencils are Prismacolor, Derwent, and Spectrum Noir. (They're pretty expensive though, and I heard a couple of people are complaining about Prismacolor. So do some research on that). Staedtler is a alright for cheaper stuff. And Crayola is also alright, but will not last with time because it's not Lightfast.

[@KnotApps]

Do you know how to make stuff look pastel without making them look faded or dull?

[@shambhavistarotforu8689]

learning is made so easy...☺

[@nostalgentsia]

Who else isn't here for a class assignment and is just doing a My Little Pony coloring book?

[@SisleyLOVESKiro]

that is NOT how hatching is done... unless of course it was for demonstrational purposes to help people understand what that means. My art teachers would've killed me if I hatched or cross-hatched this way omg

[@thevirtualinstructor]

There are multiple ways to create art. Hatching is not ALWAYS used as a cross contour line.

[@NefiliaPL]

[@zhitero]

+SisleyLOVESKiro Do you have any videos, links, or sources so I could see how hatching is done? Thanks

I really like your videos, but the intro is so annoying :( One day I listened with headphones and I almost went deaf! Every time I see a video I download the audio. You can do something about it? I would not like to criticize, but your videos are so valuable, it's a bad thing that the intro is so annoying. Greetings and excuse my criticism.
