How to SPEED UP your Colored Pencil Drawings

Get your FREE Colored Pencil Beginner Class: www.kirstypartridge.com/colou...
Coloured pencils can be a very versatile art medium. Coloured pencils are great for adding fine details and definition to your drawings and I often use them to create realistic drawings.
The problem with coloured pencils and the thing that stops many people from trying them out is how time-consuming it can be to create a drawing with coloured pencils. Coloured pencils take a lot of time to layer and blend and so creating a drawing with them can take hours and hours.
But, sometimes you may just want to get a drawing done in one or two nights. Is there a way to create the same standard of coloured pencil drawings but in much less time? There sure is! I will give you the tip you need to create coloured pencil drawings fast.

When Kirsty’s under painting is better than your finished product

[@pennywise696]

Hi Kirsty! I have been really interested in realism with color pencils for a long time, and your videos are inspiring me to go on. My watch later list on youtube is filled with over a 100 different tutorials from your channel! I am only 10 years old and already my drawings look amazing because of you. I have already done a portrait, lots of fruits and now I am learning the basics of watercolor and starting a realistic eye drawing. Thank you! :)

Kirsty, you are such a big inspiration to me! I'm a smaller youtuber struggling to post weekly. As a fan of colored pencil, this will DEFINETLY help speed up my my filming process, and give me more time to edit!

[@EmDoesArt]

Same here exactly! She is really like our art teacher but better.

[@VitasArtworks]

Yes as a little KZbin it's very hard at the beginning 🙈😅 I work very hard and a lot for that 🥴

[@FernCurtis]

I love the layering process with pencils, that is where I can relax and get the benefit of coloring for stress relief...BUT...there are times I want to speed up the process and not do as many layers. I have thought of using pastels under the pencils but hadn’t tried it yet, so thank you for the demonstration!

[@TemiDansoArt]

I’ve been using pan pastel for years, absolutely love them for my colour pencil base. You should try markers too

[@FineArtforChrist]

Using markers is a really fun way to do this for sure, but most of them aren't lightfast. Because of this I wouldn't recommend working this way if you want to sell your artwork. Hope this is helpful!

[@roxyrose1962]

Omg I Love ur vids aswell!! I watch you and Kirsty all the time!!

[@oilonpaper]

I love that you use limited materials, but combine them in ways that make sense. 🌸 I love mixing media to save time too! 😅

[@MusicalRaichu]

i mostly use pencils too, and i can't get myself to get too much into other media. but lately i've been starting to experiment combining coloured pencils with other media like you show here. i think mixed media is a great way to get yourself feeling comfortable with different media.

[@FineArtforChrist]

Absolutely! I used to feel so uncomfortable with paint in comparison to pencils. By using pencils and paint together i was able to ease into it by slowly using less and less pencils and more and more paint. Keep it up mixed media is one of the best things i've tried!

[@antarikshaadhikari737]

Thank you so much, Kirsty. I am a young artist and you helped me discover different mixes of mediums to suit my style. I learned so much!

If you are looking for other ways to speed up you colored pencil drawings, consider using a different paper and blending method! For example colored pencils on pastelmat with solvent, or colored pencils on sanded paper with powder blender. Hope this is helpful!

I have tried many different methods to make the process faster but I find that I still end up spending the time I save with these methods to take my art to the next level.
