Derwent Drawing Pencils: See What All the Hype is About! From Someone Who Detests Coloured Pencils!

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsILK]

Thank you for the vivid swatches. Gorgeous colors on the paper. Ordering these pencils! I found them on Blick with a Fox on the tin. Interesting... I found the Graphatints, too. Yummy.

You are so welcome! The Fox on the tin is the original design for the tin, the product is still the same though.

Aren’t they beautiful! Now you need to get the 24 set of Graphitint pencils, these DDPs and the Graphitints are just luxe and are some of my faves (along with Inktense). I adore Derwent, love their pencil smell too! That stencil is cool too… I’ll have to use my Scanncut and make myself somethjng similar now!

Thanks for watching, I have the Graphitint Paint Pan Set which I had forgot about until you reminded me! Just swatched them again and they are just like the deeper darker colours that are missing from the drawing pencils. I have inktense for donkey years now still my favs. Let me know how the scanncut stencil goes.

[@peteinuk]

I love them. The only set I have because of the colours and creaminess.

[@ntaylo6299]

I love the colors in the drawing set. On my second set of 24.

[@studio.spirit]

Nice, do you use gouache as well?

[@CuriosityRocks]

It’s easier to use colour pencils if you use them over alcohol markers as a base colour layer on HotPressed watercolour paper or I use just pencils on Clairefontaine pastel mat

[@CuriosityRocks]

Have you got the Arteza EverBlend Markers? Because they have the most wonderful colours

[@studio.spirit]

@CuiosityRocks Ohh never thought of pastel matte... Experiment shall commence soon! Again never thought of alcohol markers as an underpainting, I do know that if you use a colourless blender from the alcohol markers it melts the pencil and makes it easier to blend.

[@studio.spirit]

No I try to stay away from markers as I have gotten tired of them (have to use them a lot for work as an architect) one of the Points for me starting my channel was to experiment with other media. Thanks for watching.

Love the template you’re using; where can I buy it?

[@studio.spirit]

Unfortunately, it came a subscription box, so you can’t buy it separately. Perhaps you can get hold of something similar? Thanks for watching, much appreciated.

[@rootwoman123]

Great video! Would you mind sharing where you found that nifty metal template? Much appreciated!

[@studio.spirit]

Hi, it’s from an archer and olive subscription box so they don’t sell them individually, but you can use any stencil really or make your own. Thank you for watching.

[@rootwoman123]

@@studio.spirit Many thanks. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@peteinuk]

I enjoyed the post but the excessive ads! That's why sadly I stopped watching you. No other art youtuber r has that amount of ads. It is so annoying! sorry!

[@studio.spirit]

Sorry about that, I’ll look into it to see if there is a way to stop that.

[@sueallen952]

@peteinuk agree!! That's why I've unsubscribed to a lot of artists on KZbin just got sick of the constant adds!!!

the colours in this video looks dramatically more saturated as the video itself is too much saturated. in reality the colours are really muted and unfortunately it's quite impossible to obtain some key colours that you can easily see in nature like cold light green - leaf green in Polychromos - or a cold yellow, a real red or a saturated dark blue - the ink blue is beautiful but it tends a little to green -. There are a ton of brownish colours, not a real red... so it seems to me Derwent meant these colours to remap reality into a muted version. I don't want to do that kind of operation as it brings to stereotyped images.

The first part of the video is as true to natural light as it can get later in the video is afternoon and tend to get more yellow haze due to the reflection off the building next door. Do you not find the caran d’ache luminance have a better palette for what you mentioned?
