How to Color Copper Metal with Prismacolor Colored Pencils! Quick & Easy Adult Coloring Tutorial

[@lauracolorstoo]

Do you like these types of shorter tutorials? Let me know what livestream I've got that you'd like to see edited down! If I get 100 likes on this video, I'll edit some more for you guys!

[@camcab147]

Oh yeah! I like this shorter style. Sometimes, I just want to know how to do one specific thing which is great if it can be condensed into a bitesize chunk. I like the live streams but can't always participate but tend to watch them back later though not always soon after they're originally broadcast.

[@lauracolorstoo]

@@camcab147 thank you so much for the feedback! ❤

[@saracampana79]

Me too I love short videos!! I loose a lot of time pushing forward in search of what I’m looking for, so this is very useful! Thank you Laura

[@lauracolorstoo]

@@saracampana79 so happy you like it!! Looks like there may be more to come! ❤

[@devonrex4]

This is great shorter tidbit to save in my playlist to refer back to quickly. Your lives are great too!

[@joanne5083]

So glad I found this tutorial. It's the first time a combo actually looked like copper when I got it onto the paper! I've located and book marked your entire tutorial series and joined your channel! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and skills with the KZbin universe.

[@alli_went_bonkers]

I enjoy listening to you in live chats, but when I’m really focused on a specific coloring skill, this type of video is perfect, TY!!!

[@lauracolorstoo]

Awesome thank you Allison!

[@screamingmimi90]

Glad I found you! So much great information and such a charming, thoughtful delivery, New sub. Warm wishes from Minnesota! ❤❤❤

[@dwilson2548]

Thank you very much for this tutorial it definitely helped me with coloring metal and as a man may I say you have a very nice soft spoken voice very pleasant to listen to

[@lauracolorstoo]

You're very kind thanks for watching!

[@mandypoole6828]

Hi Laura. I love these short tutorials. I find i can concentrate on exactly what your doing. which colours your using and how you put them down. And its quicker to find a " How To" without having to find it on a long video. Definitely a thumbs up from me sweetheart. Much love from the UK. x💖💖💖

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thanks Amanda, so glad it's useful! I appreciate your feedback!

[@pattytolliver2651]

I llove videos like this. These types tips can make the picture really stand out.

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thanks for watching!

[@annieweisbeck5922]

Oh I loved this! I hope you will do a "Quick and Easy" for each metal. This was soooooo helpful! Thank you :)

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thank you, I do plan to do more when I'm back to making videos again ❤

[@cherylfoege4835]

I’ve loved watching this! I’ve never colored steampunk so it was so cool!💕

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thanks for watching! ❤

[@cassiezcreates2878]

I love these types of tutorials! They come in handy for me since I’m constantly trying to learn. If you get the 100 likes, I’d really love to see your more recent skin tone turned into a tutorial. The one with the moon-like pale skin. I actually tried it one time and the character ended up looking sick, which is NOT what I was going for. 😂

[@lauracolorstoo]

Great Cassie! The skin tutorial you've requested could certainly be edited down, but I'm afraid that will be a much longer video regardless, due to the subject matter. After it's fully filmed I'll take a look and see! Thanks for the suggestion and feedback!

[@cassiezcreates2878]

lauracolorstoo Thanks Laura! No worries, I really enjoy longer videos. But I know you’re going for shorter ones for the edited versions, so if you decided to go with something else, I would watch that one too. I just enjoy your videos!

[@alli_went_bonkers]

I second the idea of shorter, more direct skin tutorials. I don’t know about the rest of the viewing community, but anything under 30 minutes, I consider short. Plus, you are AMAZING with skin coloring, so I’d love you to share whatever aspects of this subject you’d like! 😘

[@cassiezcreates2878]

Allison Bonk Definitely! 30 minutes it totally a shorter video in my opinion. I don’t think one could do a proper skin tutorial in a much shorter time period. Laura definitely has the skin down to a tee!

[@lauracolorstoo]

@@alli_went_bonkers awesome Allison, I think I could do a mix of timelapse and real time in under 30 minutes, but most portraits take me at least 8 hours to do! I'll think more about how to accomplish a shorter skin tutorial ❤

[@soucky1]

Oh Yes, yes Laura, i really love that kind of tutorials, where whe could learn a technique who won't take 2 hours like the livestreams which i'm not able to watch because i fellon sleep in front of my computer LOL! Thank You so much for this Awesome tutorial, it's been a long time i wish toi seen how to color that kind of steampunk images and i never get the right metal colors i wan't so you could keep going with metal tones or anything else to me it will be Heaven to learn and watch, Big Hugs for this fantastic idea Laura, i truly appreciated it because it's not everyoners who have time to watch long tutorials of one hojurs and more so i'm more then Please with these short but so perfect tutorial to learn new tips and techniques which i really enjoy to watch!

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thanks Sylvie, we only have 10 more thumbs up! I'm happy you like this one, looks like I will be editing the other metals and pencil brands as well!

[@soucky1]

@@lauracolorstoo YEAH! this is a great news dear Laura, i will post on my facebook pages to get your 100 thumbs up because i really love to learn by hyou and you have found the best way for me to finally being able to watch & Learn without spend my day on KZbin which i just can't LOL! Thank You so much Laura xx

[@tappy6080]

Great idea Laura, will still be watching the long versions, but great source of quick reference. Thank you 🤗🤗

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thank you Tappy! I'm glad you like them both!

[@barbarajohnson6636]

Hi Laura, I loved this quick tutorial and I love your detailed ones also so please continue doing both. I would love to learn how to color underwater pictures so that it looks realistic like your art.

[@lauracolorstoo]

I don't plan to quit livestreams, I would miss interacting with my friends ❤ I do have an underwater scene on my list, I'll include an underwater scene like I did in the last vote for Tuesday mornings!

[@kimwedow8067]

That was great! Thx for doing this targeted lesson. Extremely helpful.

[@tammygeorge1638]

Awesome! You wouldn't believe how many times I've went back to the other videos to try and color metal! 😁😁 .so I love this short video! Thanks for sharing! 😉 💖! Oo, finally finished my background for Tuesday picture! 😁😁.

[@lauracolorstoo]

Excellent.. next up in the queue are the other metals from this series, so each metal color and pencil brand has its own little short. Looks like maybe it might hit 100 likes! 😂❤

[@tammygeorge1638]

@@lauracolorstoo Yaaaaa! Congratulations! 😄 😉 💖! I've also been working on the picture you sent me. I didn't realize it was a winter picture. So I've changed a couple of things on it! I hope you like it. Now that I have learned how to use my IG,thanks to rebel! 😊😊. I'll be able to send you a picture of the process! 😀😀😉💖 . I feel so blessed that I have ones like you that have helped me out on my coloring journey. Much love always! 😊😊💖💖

[@RainChains4Less]

LOVE these shorts! Thank you so much!

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thanks for watching and letting me know!!

[@dianeknuckles]

This was a nice tutorial and it gets the point across. If that's what the viewer wants. I, however prefer the longer more leisurely pace. I notice people are responding to your voice. Its relaxing and gets almost to a meditative tone. I enjoy your voice as it relaxes me and I almost always learn something new at each Live Stream. I prefer the Live Stream but won't leave if you go with short videos.

[@lauracolorstoo]

Please don't worry Diane, I'll still be doing livestreams every Tuesday, and I won't be deleting the livestream that this was edited from! If you prefer the longer format it's not going anywhere. But I have gotten comments where people dislike the "Chit-chat" as they call it - and so I thought I would try editing down something we've already done live to see what that process looks like for me.

[@dianeknuckles]

@@lauracolorstoo I understand. Thanks!

[@shelleypasini-epicevents9607]

I love this idea of doing more of these types of tutorials

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thanks Shelley, the next one will be released tomorrow!

[@Liamsynclair1]

Brilliant, exactly the type of info I was looking for...being new to ur videos, it’s difficult to sift out the appropriate info in ur live-streams vs these quick tutorials where ur straight to the point...question, do U mix mediums? Meaning do U use alcohol based markers and color pencils on a piece?

[@lauracolorstoo]

I do mix media frequently yes. Please feel free to request short tutorial topics!

[@Liamsynclair1]

I wish I could share what I’m working on, I’m stuck at the metal border part, u would digg it, it’s a steampunk coloring book by the legend Joe Benitez called Lady Mechanika...I usually start out with Sharpies (not talented enough to invest in Copics just yet) as a flat base then try to layer in using my Prismas...but metal is difficult for me, so I’m STOKED I found you and ur knowledge

[@lesleymcleod6284]

Well this one was fantastic. Easy to follow and quick. 100 likes should be easy. You have mine 👍 already.

[@lauracolorstoo]

Thank you Lesley! I'm so glad you liked it!

[@lesleymcleod6284]

@@lauracolorstoo are these types of videos easier for you time wise? Your needs are important also, or do they take a lot of editing and fussing about.

[@lauracolorstoo]

Well they're different. Editing does take a long time, but it can be done in bits at my leisure and I can schedule edited videos ahead of time. Editing is also less stressful for a stage fright prone person like me. There's benefits to livestreams I miss though, mostly the interaction with friends. Editing down livestreams that are popular seems like a nice blend; many do seem to prefer the short tutorials, but the livestreams also seem like an essential part of my channel for many in the community. I hope that as time goes on and I build stuff I can reuse (like the credits for example), my editing process becomes quicker and more streamlined. But that's why I qualified it with seeing if we get 100 likes, that's a nice way to be sure I'm not wasting time!
