[@Sir-Reborn]

Loved all the tips and tricks! Just gonna add a quick one as well in terms of archival (this goes with any media). Now keep in mind I don't sell my artwork, but I do this method to preserve it for my own sake. Whenever I finish a drawing, I personally do a spray coating overtop of it FOR A FEW REASONS: * preserves the vibrancy of the colors * prevents the paper from yellowing overtime * especially useful for when you're working with graphite: I find that no matter how much you brush off your finished piece, it will smudge in your sketchbook against the opposite side of the paper. Coating it will keep the graphite in place. * sometimes a specific coating (like high-gloss) can really bring out the colors in some drawings. Found this to be the case with watercolors. Now there are a few options in terms of coating, and you kind of just have to play around with it to find out what works with you and your media. Some ones I've used in the past: **Workable fixative** great all-purpose and forgiving coating for dry-media. I use this mostly for my sketchbooks. It prevents yellowing, smudging and wrinkling without adding a noticeable "finish". It's also one of the only coatings you can actual remove (with like, an eraser) * matte finish is nice sometimes for graphite, because graphite just by itself is quite reflective. It kind of helps with the viewing angles of the drawing * kamar varnish - useful for "wet" media like watercolor, acrylic, oil, etc * clear coat, semi-clear, acrylic clear, and alike are all useful for boosting the saturation and depth of your colors (think of a glossy professional photo vs matte). I REALLY don't use it often to be completely honest, but I do use it at times for specific media.

Storytime: Today I was cleaning my room looking for some color pencils (Crayola twistable) so I went to this shoe box in my room where I put my color pencils i was getting some when I find this color pencil that had the word "PRISMACOLOR" in it so I was like "I bet it's a fake prismacolor" since I have never had prismacolors I found another one and decided to make a test so I swatched it and it was so pigmented so i was like "Omg is this actually a prismacolor?" So I kept looking for more and found 18 in total turns out they were my sister's but she moved out of the house so I kept them and I'm only missing 6 since she had 24

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Parents aren’t always right, you can definitely make a living from art if you work hard and learn about how to grow an art business. These times are very different compared to when your parents were younger, when it was harder to make a living as an artist. But time’s have changed and there is so much opportunity out there to create a living from your passion nowadays. Your parents probably just don’t understand and maybe if you learn about how you could make money you could educate and persuade them. I actually made a recent video on 15 ways to make money from art 🥰

[@donnawalter3061]

Kirsty is spot on there, as her mum I was very dubious at first when she told her dad and myself that she wanted to make a living out of art, I thought how is she going to manage that!! She did work to help fund her art channel at first until she became self sufficient and could start to make a good living from art. She certainly proved me wrong, and I have told her this. Her dad and I are incredibly proud of her and everything that she has achieved, she has worked extremely hard over the last 5 years. Never give up on your dreams and hopefully one day your mom might change her opinions, good luck 👍😊

4:35 and 6:30 ! 2 of my favs. Just started my first attempt at a multi colored full portrait. Usually just use a single color ( black, grey, red, ballpoint) it’s definitely very time consuming constantly switching between 10-20 colors. Thanks for the advice on solvent and watercolor paper and the x acto knife technique. Never even considered this. 👏👍👌this was honestly thee most informative videos I’ve ever seen on utube. Thank you. I guarantee this will be beyond helpful in my work. Ok

[@noobkiller9478]

This is the most informative video i have ever seen on KZbin. Thank you!

Her: There is a lot of different types of papers! Me: ( rips out a paper from my school notebook) A PAPER IS PAPER Edit: Guys this is just a joke xD

[@Basedhistoryenjoyer]

I still remember when i gave money to a prefect cause she asked for a piece of paper... She gave me the "Wtf, are you bribing me?!" look lol.

[@agr1maa]

haha

[@44frosty88]

Ya.............. paper is paper 🤔👍

[@wavezz2038]

🤨

[@hazeraakther6146]

Some papers are better use for art like water colour art

[@linht9154]

this was so informative! i definitely feel more confident and less lost about using colored pencil. thank you so much for this great tutorial!

[@nadiah.floots]

This has been a really informative video. I'm just recently getting back into drawing, and the techniques you show (especially with white pencil and knife highlights) inspire me to add those techniques to my future color pencil works. Thank you so much for this guide.

[@YourCreativePush]

This is the perfect tutorial for my audience! Would you consider coming on the podcast?

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Your Creative Push thank you for the offer 🥰 Unfortunately, I am very busy at the moment and can barely keep up with the work tasks I have to do now that I’m pregnant 😂

[@YourCreativePush]

[@ralphzurita2091]

You have made into so much a better artist. I can’t wait to watch this one and to support you on patreon when the pandemic passes over and I’m more economically stable. I love you so much. Stay safe! Keep up the amazing work :)

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Ralph Zurita thank you so much 🙏🏻🥰 stay safe!

[@travelwell6049]

There are lots of videos on KZbin titled ‘How to draw ...’ but there is no tutorial, it’s just watching them draw, which has some benefits I guess but this video actually taught me so much and I am so grateful. I studied art and design at college for two years and then went into digital design. Now, many years later, I’m trying to get back into drawing and painting, this video has been so immensely helpful and taught me skills I never learnt at college. I don’t know why I’m actually crying. Thank you for your hard work and excellent tutorial video.

[@groth1m]

I’m so glad I watched this video, Kristy, I have been wanting to dive into color pencil drawing and this might give me the confidence I needed.

[@XxkohoxX]

People like you and proko are a godsend for aspiring artists. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights

[@billyscenic5610]

Amazing dedication to your craft and a good teacher!

[@sarrahkhanrahim2917]

I usually use acrylics for my assignments but i thought the reference i chose will go better with pencil colors and so it brings me here(but i actually own zero pencil colors)and after watching this video i feel like going right now to the stationary store and get alot of pencil colors and start right away!!Thanks for so much of inspiration.

[@myartcube]

Just getting into colored pencils myself. I love your channel. I dream of one day being half as good. Thank you so much for creating such high quality content.

[@aquacommelina]

[@stephaniee6301]

Thank you Kirsty for sharing SO MUCH helpful information and amazingly fun and helpful techniques!!! I learned so much in such a short amount of time. Thank you for sharing your love of art with so many of us...even with those that leave comments showing they don't take it seriously enough, you deserve more respect. Thank you for your kindness and time.

[@JTEldreth]

Kristy, GREAT video !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BolaGuys]

This was really helpful since I have trouble using colored pencils when coloring in drawing so thank you so much for the tips I’ll be sure to use them!

[@fay-yadh0431]

Your channel really helped me during quarantine.

[@CharliePerson_]

Bro, she didn’t even draw that. She got a strawberry and smacked it on the paper. Edit: Issa joke.

[@samanthacanales3992]

😂

[@imfilmy]

Those hackers.... XD

[@Terasunagi]

Ikr, she is not tricking me

[@CharliePerson_]

ReliteXTM So rude.

[@khavarun]

HAHA

[@stormriderkaos]

I love coloured pencils. Solvent blending. Thanks!

[@edwin5656]

It was worth watching the whole video, learnt many things thank you!

[@juanandetos]

It's clear from the video of your art and the details you go through when explaining everything that you love your passion, and I felt that. From that alone you get a like and with that soothing voice, i dont get why you dont have many more followers

[@taceyblankenship3786]

I have been seriously waiting for this for forever. I’m good at drawing but I want to start realism people in colored pencil. I want to get better so I’ve been binge watching all ur colored pencil vids 😂

[@rosagelborange]

This is the best tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you so much.
