A good hack is petroleum jelly. Dip your color pencils into it and it dissolves the pencil lead. Cheap pencils are just fine and the colors are incredible with very little pressure. But don’t forget to remove the jelly or the lead tip will dissolve overnight.

Thank you Kirsty. That was the finest collection of absolutely exceptional and essential tips for drawing with pencil that I’ve seen in my 61 years. There were points in your presentation that I was already aware of as a watercolour and oil artist fumbling along for many a year now, but I learned so many vital and important tips that are going to revolutionise and massively and positively impact my art that I am quite pleasantly astounded. Just as important as listening to the your lovely and soothing voice and the important information that you conveyed, watching your hands as they moved across the paper, how you so deftly jut touched and caressed the graphite away when doing the light strands, and laying in the darker tones with the coloured pencil, wow, again, I learned so much about the actual technique by just watching your hands work so easily and so brilliantly. I’ll leave it there for you but really wanted to say thank you and share my hope for your best as you’ve inspired and taught me an incredible amount this morning as I had my breakfast here in Sydney, brilliant girl, thank you so much 😎👍

I was wondering so hard how they did those white lines in dark places, I wasn't sure if it was white color pencil or eraser. Then I thought no, erasers are too thick to do that... and I find here that there is a pencil/eraser thingy...a thin eraser that you can hold like a pencil! soooo helpful. Thank you so much!

Hi from Southwestern Ontario Kirsty....I don't know if this suggestion is going to be worth a hill of beans...however. I worked in cosmetics for a long time at Eatons (long gone now) in Vancouver. One tip I use to offer clients for sharpening pencils.... for lip, eye or brow was to freeze the pencil first. You can get a good point without the breakage. Now I don't know if this would be o.k. for artist pencils or if he temp change might mess things up. I do it and it works fine for me but I'm using a upper mid grade watercolor pencil. Thankyou SO MUCH for all of these wonderful video tips. I am 67 and just starting to get back into art....love Jo

I read your comments on using black pencils, and may I suggest you also try a particularly amazing pencil from Derwent - the "Onyx". It is quite honestly the blackest pencil I have ever used and it's not charcoal. They come individually for between £2.75p to £3.25p, or for a blister pack of 2, it's between £5.50p upto £6.25, depending where you buy it from, so shop around. It creates really intense, dark colour, lays down so smoothly and easily, and can sharpen to a really decent point if needed. I use it mainly for monochrome drawings of animals, as it is perfect for drawing hair and fur especially. I hope you don't mind me suggesting you try this.

I`d love to see someone go over how to get a nice shiny effect when coloring cars. Getting that reflective shiny look, I struggle so much to understand it. If anyone in the comments have any advice, I`d be very thankful☺️
@glurp13 жыл бұрын
Reflective surfaces have high contrast. I would find images that have the effect you're looking for and note the value differences. Note the level of contrast overall, in the areas by the reflection, the size of the areas, etc. You could even turn images to grayscale to focus just on the value, though such conversions aren't perfect.
@kitty_von_meow65053 жыл бұрын
So this may not be the type of shine you are meaning, but lets say its a bright red 🚗… for the shiny areas i would go to lightest red (pink)there is, so depending on the red pencil, the pink you use is important… i have a giant cup of reds from every brand and every version of red including the pinks that match tone wise… theres a pink white out from caran de ache its helpful with reds…also when you are doing shiny or highlight sections try burnishing or blending some areas with a white pencil and or colorless blender to practice effects… and another one you take a photo with your phone of your drawing then go to effects, push grey scale, this helps see the areas you need to work on more…hope this helps… oh forgot one…when im super lazy i just use my highlight pens, they are in most art supply stores, you can buy different shades to, but this is more of a finishing affect even after completing your pencil work for pop….

TS 12:20 talking about flipping the picture. I have a mirror beside me. I often look at the work through the mirror. Fast, easy and omg you see mistakes almost instantly. BTW, Kirsty your videos are great. I love your enthusiasm and your tips. Lastly, for pure white highlights on colored pencil drawings, I have a very fine brush and a tube of white gesso. I gently scratch where I want my highlight then dip the tip of the brush into the gesso and paint along the scratch. Very easy to fix any smudging you make and the gesso stays in the scratch. .... edit = to remove excess gesso I simply use a graphite blending stump and wipe that clean as I go or you could just let it dry and draw over it. I mostly use the stump. You keep me thinking. Thanks for the hard work you put into your videos. All the best to you.

This "GRID METHOD"really explains why so many of these type of life like artists work seems to have such accurate edges/proportions.

Thanks Kristy! Wonderful tips for creating better drawings! I always think the surface you work on should be mentioned in everyone of these videos because people seem to forget about the paper they’re using. Like using a hot press watercolor paper or other papers with smoother grain can eliminate so many problems with filling in the grain of the paper with color no matter what medium you are using. I may have even heard this from you, or Amie Howard Art, I watch a lot of her videos too. Your both very talented artists! Thanks again!

The grid method was what I learned in high school and worked wonderfully for me because I was able to block out the magazine picture then block out my paper in the same squares. The only thing is you would have to use the lightest graphite pencil and I don't think 2H is light enough in my set I have. Also I found to get the blackest black I can do is using a black gel pen or a Sharpie pen.
