[@SarahRenaeClark]

I used a few different papers in this tutorial - if you'd like to know my recommendations, check out my full paper comparison here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKO2qH18YphofK8

[@jorielmatthewcruz7612]

I made a still life of a golden ring and it looked like it's made of paper. I tried the technique you taught and it actually looked like metal. Thank you for improving my art!!!! 😊

[@angelajclarkson]

Would love to see more videos on metallic surfaces and using reference images....always enjoy hearing and seeing the various ways of using colour!

[@aleahlrb]

This is perfect timing! I recently had an idea for an illustration featuring my original character in gold armor, but I've been having some difficulty with coloring gold.

[@SarahRenaeClark]

I’d love to hear how you go!

[@mellladi]

Yes, I would be interested in another tutorial. This one was very helpful and I cannot wait to try it out.

[@majawalkow5751]

you're far too underrateds, you really do have amazing tips and how to videos. This has helped me so much!

[@amittimorgan1830]

Absolutely agree with this comment!!!

[@spark_art1]

We’re as this tutorial been all my life. I love your way of teaching. You make me more interested in your vids. And I learn a lot. Your an amazing artist.

[@beccabrinkley1230]

Yes would love another tutorial on reference photos!

[@mistynielsen3209]

I can’t wait to try this out. And, yes, I would love to see more videos by you.

[@SarahRenaeClark]

Reply to this comment if you commit to trying this out on a coloring page soon!

I am very eager to try it out in a Coloring Page but I don't have a good color pencil

Hi and l will try

[@nancyhappily9503]

Thanks Sarah for this demo and information. I can't wait to see (much slower) and try any tutorials for metallic, shiny and glowing objects. Even in less than usual expected colors and hues.

[@carolbatchelor5855]

I look forward to giving this a try.

Would love to see more on using reference photos. Thanks so much for helping me overcome the idea that I “am not artistic”. I have kind of just jumped in and started coloring, it’s such a nice way to relax. I try not to focus on being perfect, and by doing lots of light layers, and using gradients, I’ve made some really nice pages! Thanks!

When you took out the golden and silver pencils from the set, you won me!

[@SarahRenaeClark]

I realized later that I haven’t used them a single time. The top is still the shape of the original sharpening from the manufacturer! I’m sure they are useful and fun, but I think they are mostly a novelty and are better suited in a speciality coloring set instead of confusing people by being in a standard color set.

[@Heathiekins]

I agree: the gold and silver pencils are just not good inclusions. I use them to write letters to my family, since it is easier to erase than pen. Not sure what else I would use them for, honestly. Thank you for this fantastic guide! Metallic surfaces shouldn't be as intimidating as it is, and you show that it is a simple process!

[@Nicole-my8do]

Hi Sarah Renae, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and it's been a huge blessing. Ur a blessing. I discovered a talent for drawing when I was 8 years old and Art is my favourite hobby - it's actually therapeutic for me and I love colouring and hyperrealism but have always preferred pencil work and pastels rather than using paint. I truly admire your positivity and love that you keep things on the channel so clean and child-friendly. I have already bookmarked your website and signed on as a member to receive your lovely emails. I am saving up to get your full colour catalogue suite; only my tablet dies a few days ago so now I need to also purchase a new tablet. Love this tutorial. Would love to see a video about using reference images to draw gold and other shiny objects. Every Blessing and keep going.💙💛💚💜💟💞

[@carolbatchelor5855]

Thanks for teaching us so many wonderful techniques, Sarah! I hope to be able to create something that I can be proud of.

I would love to try this. I have been trying to color gold for a long time I never seem to get it just right. I know there's a way to slow the video down but I'm not sure how. Thank you very much and I will keep trying. I would love to see another video on coloring gold. Thank you very much for sharing and happy coloring

There’s a settings icon (looks like a gear ⚙️) on the video. Click that, go to “playback speed” and you can slow it down.

[@poonnadapattarapadya9875]

Hi, I so like your video. You are inspiration in pencil colors art and I have to practice English from your chanel because your English sounds is very clear in explanation to your tools and more other. Thanks for your video. 😊

[@jigglinggiggles]

💡 I love the color circles over the image! They make the actual color of the pallette so clear....I have your complete color pallette volumes set I was thinking showing these circles right in the digital images in those volumes would be awesome! Love those paint pens

[@shadowheartart3898]

Really great tutorial! Good explanations, and showing a couple of different gold objects being coloured. That segment in the beginning, where you show the colours in a golden object(AND show different gradients) - that is probably going to be indispensable for a lot of people

[@YukinoKary]

Remembering how is the technique of painting gold * ~ * Thank you for your patience in explaining 😊 I love how different materials can be combined and the work mixed. Highlighting with eyeliner is a good idea because it gives an effect of dimension and I liked the explanation of the shadows to give more volume. ...for the future if you could create a tutorial on the metallic color in gray it would be fantastic and even gems or diamonds! :)

[@LaraCroft2169]

Awesome tutorial

[@midnightrainbow6299]

I've always been scared to color in my artwork because I have a fear of ruining it. Your tutorials are really simple and easy to follow for beginners. There are a lot of tutorial videos out there but hardly ever understood them. I really like the way that you did your "how to color white" tutorial and this one. I did a drawing with one of your techniques with white drawings and can't wait to use this one too!

[@SarahRenaeClark]

I’m using a similar technique in my next video to color a gold and a black character!

[@theannabarcelos]

I have not seen any rose gold tutorials that I like. The ones I've seen are really old and use colored pencils that don't match 2021 color codes! (i.e., Prismacolor). Sarah can you please, please do a rose gold tutorial? :-)

[@RedOctopusStudios]

Hello Sarah, I saw your gold bow video on Chrome when I was looking for metals painted in colored pencil. Looks like it was posted around April 5, 2021. So incredible! I am having a tough time with the 7 Luminance pencils pictured on the side. No numbers are showing. Would you mind telling me what they are? Doing a piece with a metal mask & a metal hoop skirt. Would love to try your recipe. I am referring to the Instagram pics with the Luminance pencils. I am in Los Angeles. Take care, Rouge

[@JojozaHannaHawaii]

This was a fantastic tutorial! tfs...

[@SofSof.]

I usually use yellow, orange and two shades of brown to make gold. I don't have a white pencil that actually makes things whiter, so I have to leave some parts uncolored to get those light highlights

There's an interesting mixture of Yellow and Dark Brown that make Amber color, and could possibly replicate the colored pencil color Gold with just 1 layer, it's a bit tricky to get right though.

[@Diana-wc4jl]

Thanks for these tips. How would you suggest drawing silver?

[@SarahRenaeClark]

Follow the same process but chance the colors you are using to match the colors in silver. To find the colors, try looking at some pictures of silver (or search “silver gradients” on Google) and see if you can do what I did with the gold. Silver will probably use a lot of greys, but there might be some other subtle colors in there.

Fantastic demo what paper are you using please.

[@SarahRenaeClark]

This is just cardstock. I would recommend a Bristol Vellum for best results if your printer can handle it. My printer has had trouble with it lately, which is why I’ve been using cardstock for my coloring pages instead.

[@karenspeirs131]

@@SarahRenaeClark my printer also has trouble with thick Bristol smooth and vellum 😕just needs to be a little bit thinner . It’s hard to find a decent paper for colored pencils , all the strathmore range is nice but would be nice to find something cheaper .

[@SarahRenaeClark]

@@karenspeirs131 I’ve bought a bunch of different papers to try side-by-side soon but it is definitely one of the harder comparisons to do. Availability varies so much worldwide, plus USA uses different sizing to UK and Australia, and everyone has different preferences and different printers. Aaggghhh!

[@karenspeirs131]

Yes that’s true , do you think Prismacolor pencils work better on vellum paper or Bristol smooth ?

[@SarahRenaeClark]

@@karenspeirs131 Prismacolor seem to work pretty well on both, so it comes down to preference! I prefer the vellum for my Luminance pencils, but I think I’ll try the smooth paper a bit more with my Prismacolors because I really love the smooth look!
