You have the best voice and instructions. Appreciate your explanations, I need the science to understand...you are the only one that delivers. Thank you so much!

[@RapidBlindfolds]

thanks for explaining in depth how light refracts inside the water droplets. i need to learn about the shading of water for a tattoo design of canada, where inside the shape of canada is a bottle of grey goose. the bottle is open, and the little droplets are in the shape of the Arctic Archipelago (the scattered islands in the north). so because the droplets are in the shape of islands they are more misshapen than usual droplets, so it was very different to just copying an image of a globular droplet from the internet.

I've learnt a lot just from this video, thanks. However, can i just say, surely the cast shadow on the right hand sides, should actually be casting on the left hand side? I.e. the side away from the light source??

[@omarismail9189]

I thought that too and I’m still wondering

[@josemreyes6059]

Yea it should

[@jns3584]

I thought so too

[@neldaflygare3595]

Enjoyed the water drop video a lot thanks for sharing!!!!!!!

[@Levi00907]

What pencil type is he using at the start of the video is it HB

[@monikar2785]

Coooll I will try this...thanks so much for this Video :)

This was extremely helpful.

I’m using a white charcoal pencil but it doesn’t show much white...please help:)

[@jenniferdean9719]

My white charcoal pencil isn’t showing up. Are there varying softnesses you whites? If so what are you using?

[@Theabdullahalm]

F... For Fabulous! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kathleenulrich273]

I love this!❤

[@dewaldesterhuysen712]

I always try to draw a water droplet but it always vaporize before I'm done...

[@ushaadavappa4752]

Hi I liked the way you all teach but it would be good if we have books on these

[@xcbr4516]

from artist to artist: AMAZING

[@angeldark43]

This helped me lots, thanks bud!!

[@EWKification]

I can't figure out why the cast shadow is on the same side as the light source.

[@omarismail9189]

Sameeee

[@manishvishwakarma-zu8mg]

Because there is also another light source on the other side, he said in the start

[@kimberleychester3224]

That’s great! Thank you

Reminds me of a northwest Louisiana accent.

[@lizarigasui8055]

I used normal pencil instead of the one he was using I didn't make the white that much but great instead of shading pencil I used white color but still look real life

[@hskxskdwj]

what do you mean with normal pencil he used a normal pencil too lol

[@_AquaArt_]

So I just have a question. What type of surface are you using? Is it in a sketch book or something like cardboard? This texture looks really fun to draw with and the darkness of it really makes the light pop.

[@a.r.t4954]

This is tinted paper

[@_AquaArt_]

@@a.r.t4954 thanks lol

[@UnderTakerDr00lz]

Or Toned tan, or Toned Grey. Both are very nice for bright colors and blending ♡ I also suggest a Prismacolor blender instead of paper ones♡

[@barroo69]

Thanks, how about droplets that are a splashes when you can’t see the shape because they are fine and small

[@user-bt1mt3ll1i]

wow...thank you

[@shresthabageshwar2671]

awesome bro.....

[@Lulu-ez8dp]

Where did you get your white pencil from and what brand is it?

[@edgarc3819]

One of the best tutorials. Thank you

[@jayfirenation3777]

Thank you 😀

[@No.1GenshinLover]

it looks like a drawing close up but a bit far waay looks like a water droplet for me :>

[@jagarza1981]

great video

[@MadeleineRobertsen]

Wow ! What kind of sheet do you use, that you can see the white color on? O.o :)

[@michaelmartin6912]

He said grey paper.....I have only used white. Never seen grey . Amatuer , of course.

[@ellabella3270]

Strathmore toned Gray sketch book

[@shadowfire04]

question: how does the water droplet cast a shadow if it's transparent? wouldn't it just cast nothing? is it because the water isn't fully transparent?? im confused :((

[@josemreyes6059]

If you've seen a droplet in real life this would make sense -_-

[@mushroom-snail]

this is good, but when he makes highlights with a Caran D'ache Luminance colored pencil, i tried with all other white colored pencils that I have, including Prismacolor, but none worked. Warning.

[@ravsolarek]

What coloured pencils do You use?

[@jefui1]

they aren't colored pencils

[@RayDu]

Thank you for this helpful video! Btw, I like your accent a lot! It makes me miss South Carolina.

[@maccapacca3867]

I don't have a white pencil or a blending stub

[@ThatTrendHouse]

Nice!

WHERE IS EVERYONE GETTING THESE WHITE CHARCOAL PENCILS??

[@neshia6042]

Just got mines off Amazon. A brand called Generals. I think that is what he is using.

[@lefthandedstrat]

top!!!!

[@angeladrian3447]

very nice

[@omarismail9189]

I think the cast shadows should be on the opposite side of the light source or the light side so it should be on the left side on this case so WHY THE HELL IS IT ON THE RIGHT SIDEEE

[@manjudraws6260]

I think that light is coming from both side

[@ipman6039]

why is your paper hairy
