Layering With ONLY 12 Colored Pencils | Polychromos Tutorial

[@grandmabarby]

In 5 years with 100 colors I could never be as amazing as you are! Brilliant. Thank you.

[@parleymanderson7527]

Maybe you should try to study the basics of drawing like perspective, form, colors and light. I found that people who mastered the basics draw great pictures no matter what medium they use.

@@parleymanderson7527master this, NERD

[@kaitourobin840]

Apprenticeship, working directly under a master, takes 1 to 6 years. Then, becoming a Jouneryman takes 2 years. Then a master another 2 years. So don't be discouraged. Behind the scene, statistical, it has taken an artist 10 years to get to their skills level. And if they appeared young, it's most likely it because they have been drawing since they were a little kid.

absolutely stunning! I am a watercolour artist and want to dip my toe in the water with these - incredible work and explanation - thank you x

[@meggienaipal8833]

Gemma, you're a darling, thank you for taking the "complicated" out of this for me. Explaining the basic, which is what I need, before I can get to the more intricate ways of working with colored pencils and layering.

[@magpiegirl3783]

Very good demonstration - and finished product!

[@UJB123]

Thank you. It's really really nice to watch someone use just a basic 12 set for a tutorial. Great info, btw.

[@davidlowton9359]

Wonderful concise tutorial. Subscribed. Thank you 😊👍

[@soulart1225]

You're good at drawing roses in a sentimental and luxurious way❤

[@christopherwarwick5956]

Layering beautifully and clearly explained. Thanks!

[@mpetersen6]

One thing l think is critical beyond the blending technique is the surface you are working on. I have tried various papers. Some were sold as Colored Pencil papers that would not accept layering at all usually I just go with a heavier cardstock

[@leneprior9392]

Absolutely fabulous!

[@justme9818]

Wow, I've never seen this before. As a complete beginner, I tried something similar years ago but it really didn't work for me. - I thought I was using the wrong medium. I mustn't have been going light enough. I imagine it's a very forgiving technique for a beginner, thanks very much for the tutorial.

[@alexiswilliams3233]

I was thinking of doing my first full colored pencil drawing and I really enjoyed these tips definitely going to give it a try

[@Tommyetal]

Wow, that's amazing what and how you did on that rose!

[@Sadia..t]

Love your skills really 🥺🥰✨

[@bimmermom]

Oh my goodness! That was amazing! Thank you so much for this tutorial

[@cynthiawoodburn9538]

A wonderfully thought out approach to colored pencil flowers. Your narrative is fabulous, and your explanation of layering is easy to understand. So glad I found your videos. Keep up the great work!!

[@Syedabbas-uu7gd]

This was sooo easy! Thank you!

[@irynarovna]

Thank you so much for your videos! They are very helpful.

[@peterhelton7395]

Really enjoyed that. Paused it to check which of the four radios in the house I had left on, finally realized it was in your house!

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

I got the 120 set and what a nice set of pencils they are! It's a close second to my Pablos in the prettiest set I own.

[@michaelpower3291]

Loved this video - thank you so much for the info, can't wait to try the ploychrome pencils 🥰

[@susanforget8133]

wow gorgeous. I know look at coloring in a total different way.

[@Smgs-ue7tj]

Really stunning!

[@mariyashcherbakova3388]

Wow! What a great video for beginners! Thank you. I’m interested in joining to your 1:1 coaching offering when it becomes available again. ❤

[@mariasouza974]

👏👏👏congratulations

[@nightwhisper7940]

I'm having some trouble sometimes layering because for some reason I'm not always sure which colours are the right ones I need to use and we I should layer them. Also with the like shading areas, you need to use lighter or darker colours. I quite like watercolours, acrylic, oil pastels, oil paints, drawing, colouring. I quite like doing art about nature, but I'm the worst at drawing people, especially portraits.

[@HarperSophia]

Wow. This was awesome

[@stephenwelham]

Thank you Jemma for your inspiration and knowlege I have signed up to your youtube channel very helpful

[@spearageddon3279]

Wow. Discovering I didn't know what I didn't know. 😲💖👍👊

[@hanifbangash4825]

Very nice 👌

[@irmabenus7001]

Thanks a lot for your tutorial! Beautiful work!

[@susanforget8133]

where did you get your pencil extender?? that is awesome for short pencils

[@fayehobbs2948]

Yes it looks like a good idea. I have not seen one either.

[@Helenas_fun_art_channel]

Great! ❤❤❤

[@reneekroyer5104]

I am new to this. How can you do something in the background? Watercolor wash? It looks very nice but I'd love to have some color in the background.

[@dianemcculloch4548]

Hi Gemma what paper do you use ?

[@tehsiltopiinfo4605]

Nice

[@marbou8801]

Thank uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 😍😍😍😍🌹🌹😍🌹😍🌹😍🌹😍

[@CintaurSA]

Why didn’t you use any blenders?

[@hinzenstein]

Always end up with a meltdown and pencils and paper flying in the bin 😢

[@K.ART_vlog]

nice

[@bimmermom]

I’ve been meaning to ask … it doesn’t look like you use a pencil to outline the item you’re colouring … you appear to just start off with the colour pencil and start with the colouring and yet you still manage to get the item in exactly the right position is that correct? If this is the case then its even more amazing

[@melkmb]

I believe she has an outline but it’s just so light that the camera doesn’t pick it up. You don’t want to have very dark graphite lines because it could muddy the colors and you won’t be able to get rid of the graphite under the colored pencil. I always thought the same thing before I heard someone explain it.

[@bimmermom]

Thank you … I’ve often tried to peer closely to see but it really is very light 😊

[@melkmb]

@@bimmermom 😂😂 as have I! I’m always like, wow, how talented are they that they don’t even need to put in a single guideline for a drawing!

[@bimmermom]

@@melkmb 😬good to know I am not alone

[@manthasagittarius1]

A lot of artists draw it in lightly but more visibly, correct it until it's perfect, and then almost totally erase it til it's very faint and mostly go on memory.

[@fahadsalimsaidal_jabri3720]

[@gibson2623]

No greens...Too much brown

[@YourFriend-g1y]

[@tawfikelshazly8127]

Very beautiful, can you draw me a picture, please, aunt

[@mpriya3148]

It's because of your channel that my whole career is wasted

[@fayehobbs2948]

Nice, does not look simple.
