I love that you tolk .it really helps when things are explained

[@Roadtaken-fi1cd]

What a great tip to do a watercolor wash to make your own toned paper! These are so pretty!

[@shannonhulbert8732]

Wow, these are beautiful. I think I'll try them with my daughter this weekend. She's 6 and loves drawingand crafts.

[@lisesheeba4156]

Gotta make this one…so pretty…it will make a beautiful card for someone

[@leannemitchem8865]

Very cool! I love watching you create these. Thank you for sharing

[@christineingram55]

This is why pencils are my favourite medium..You can get really rich effects from layering or you can do soft gorgeous artworks like this one .This looks ,soft,translucent and also has an iridescence about it too.I love pencils.not only are they relaxing to use,but you feel what your doing more than with a paintbrush I think ..Love this 🥰

[@carried9130]

This turned out so cool!! Love how you blended the colors!

[@macCALICOmac]

Love the DIY toned paper idea!!! I feel so inspired. Thank you

I Just looked at the photos on unsplash .I could not believe my eyes.Such a beautiful underwater world.I can understand the reason you like it so much ,It is so astonishing.

[@starshinesoldier]

I love when you turn things into rainbows! SO pretty! I will have to try these once my hands feel better.

[@debthereb12]

Those came out so pretty on the colored paper! Great video!

[@avanellehansen4525]

Beautifully done! I'm inspired!

So rad and beautiful Lindsay… love jellyfish and sea dragons!! 🤩🥰👍🏾🪅 Thank you for posting!!

[@CreativePhenomenonArt]

I love the way the second jellyfish came out on the black paper happy little accidents 🤗💕 Excited to see your review on the macarons , as it was my last supply purchase and I have not yet received them. I am doing a no buy art supply year. 🙏😱🤪 Thumbs up if you are doing a no buy art supply this year. If so, good luck 👍🍀

[@MonikaBehr]

This was lovely. Thank you.

[@lynncooper1781]

Oh so beautiful, jellyfish should be a challenge to draw and paint,thank you Lindsay for a wonderful work of art 🎨🤗❤️👍😀🍸🌹

[@capbin146]

When you mentioned brown bags I just recycled brown paper Amazon uk are using for packing, that might do the trick. Steve Mitchell did a video on pencil sharpener as he had a new one Afmat 6-12mm. It seems to go under the name Tihoo in 🇬🇧 with automatic stop and it does an excellent job on brutfuner square. Lovely pencils but frustrating to sharpen. Loved the jf on black. Thanks.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Good to know!

[@SheilaLandry]

Thank you so much! They really look like fun. :) I think that is a great idea having the catalogs of projects available. Not only is it great for those who don't want a monthly subscription to deal with, but also I like seeing the photos of the projects all in one place so we know where to look for them. always wonderful projects and information. :)

[@marilynperez-martinez6769]

I got all 3 collections! The value is amazing. Gives me tons of options for watercolor & pencils. Thanks Lindsay!

[@elizekohler6199]

Pretty picture ❤️

[@janetsjewellery]

I had a go at these today in class. Turned out pretty well using my chameleon colour tones pencils on some black paper I have. Will post them in critique club.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I can't wait to see!

[@MissGroves]

Wish I could hit like a thousand times for this one!!!!! Love it

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Awww, thank you!

Beautiful Lindsay! 👍🏾💯❤️. Hugz

[@annettefournier9655]

Gorgeous 😍

[@graces4506]

You are awesome. Love your videos.

[@PumpkinPails]

These are gorgeous Lindsay! I've always been obsessed with jellyfish, even though the jerks never fail to target me at the beach. I've been stung by jellyfish even when I didn't set foot in the water. 😂

[@nadeaner.cowley513]

Wow so beautiful!! So many helpful tips-thank you so much!! Thanks for sharing, much ❤

[@ArtsiRosi]

So bright and cheerful. Love it! I hope you liked the paper. I had to get that pastel set of pencils because they're beautiful and a great selection and FIFTY PENCILS FOR $17! LOL

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I know! It's a crazy deal!

[@paulalister80]

Love the jellyfish, aww my pops so much on the black paper. Himmm need to give these a go. Thank you Lindsay for another cool tutorial.

[@carmennunez715]

Beautiful!!! I love how colorful your painting is.

[@jeaninehinckel77]

I do want to purchase these pastel colored pencils but I did as you suggested with my least favorite and discontinued pencil set Van Gogh Royal Talens and have a small group of pastel colors. Not nearly the variety as in that set. Oh boy. Will try these jellyfish. Love watching you draw!

[@Lulu.G-61]

Beautiful!! I’ve got to do this!

[@isabellasedai]

So beautiful

[@realartacademy]

Very nice 👍

[@deanandreoli1975]

Gorgeous, fun, and inspiring!! Awesome, Lindsay! my favorite sketch journal is by Leather Village. It has a great, thick, tan toned deckled edge cotton paper. i love using colored pencils and pastels in it. fantastic.

[@wrenbayley]

Lindsay, could we do a/some dolphins sometime? Not to sound unappreciative, because I love this one and all you’re willing to teach us. Just thought I’d throw that idea out there.

[@sketchshinaver2137]

Awesome work Lindsey watching from Las Vegas NV today

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

This was a great inspiration to get me going with my art after the break. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do and was feeling sort of meh! 😉 Hope you had a wonderful holiday season with your family and best wishes for a safe and happy new year.

[@CBMOA]

Just a question; is there a chance you could draw and color octopus? Or they’re not your favorite? I’m a little curious

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Sounds fun, I'll add it to the list!

[@wildrose2690]

I love it and you make it look easy to do 🌹

[@katarinaholik]

my set just came 😀

[@flychk1229]

So pretty! Doggone it I’ve really been eyeing those macaron pastel colors! I don’t have any pastel colored pencils. Hmmm. Will she make it?? 🤣

[@thefrugalcrafter]

From what I see available they seem to be the best of the budget brands.

[@agircekim]

these jellyfishes look beautiful! i got my macarons today and only sharpened and swatched them and i already like them more than my holbeins. i have a pastel set of 12 which i ordered from japan several years ago, the colours are beautiful, but i have to admit that i don't really like them or maybe i just don't know how to use them properly. i'm mainly using polychromos and prismacolor premier over my alcohol marker paintings, but open stock prismacolor pencils are hard to get here and the sets also got really expensive in the last years. i can get polychromos for 1,40 € or even less in germany, so i don't want to pay 2-3 euros for prismacolors. when searching for alternatives, i stumbled upon the brutfuners. i ordered the square ones and the macarons. i hope i'll like the square ones as much as i like the macarons. i'm excited to watch your video next week. i find your reviews really helpful.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

If it wasn't for the low price if prisma here I wouldn't go for them. Derwent coloursoft are better quality for the softness if you are looking for that. They maybe cheaper where you live.

[@agircekim]

​@@thefrugalcrafter thank you for the recommendation. i'll look into them. i'm also eyeing the lightfasts, which i might buy when they are on sale and my budget will allow it. i had the chance to test some derwent drawing pencils, they were really smooth, but smudgy. i liked the matte finish. i heard that the lightfasts are similar, but not that smudgy. i think the coloursoft would have a more waxy finish, i hope i can test them out soon.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Which do you like better? The Brutfuner Square or Macaron set? I think Harry (Art Gear) said the Square ones were better, softer with more pigment, but I may have them switched around. He said one was definitely better but I can't remember which.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

These are not the same formula as the rounds from the 520 set. I compare them all in the review next week. I think the macaron pencils are slightly better than the squares and a good deal better than the rounds in the 520 set. I would love this formula (from the pastels) expanded.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

@@thefrugalcrafter Thanks Lindsay.

[@judyjohnson2711]

Lindsay, I’m not a fan of jellyfish. Although lovely, their stings aren’t at all pleasant! Ha! Yours are just beautifully done!

[@mjpete27]

Thank you Lindsay! If I can make one request? I know that you want to sell your lessons and you are truly generous with your pricing. Perhaps you could slow down your Timelapse version that you post here? Not so much that you hurt sales but just a bit so if we pause during the course of the video we see more definitive steps during the video. I completely understand if it is more work than it is worth. Editing videos is difficult enough and we do appreciate all of the different ways you show everyone how to create Art! Thank you. Happy New Years!

[@maki9972]

Afternoon everyone

[@jeaninehinckel77]

Oh phooey! I missed the cut-off date for coupon code. I kept trying to use it and couldn’t understand why it was invalid. Such a knucklehead I can be sometimes.

[@FaerieDust]

Honestly when it comes to sea creatures, if you draw them and they come out exceptionally weird looking you can always just call them a "deep sea" whatever it's supposed to be 👍 deep sea animals are basically space aliens anyway, and no one's going to know the difference 🤣

[@deborahbarbaccia6813]

Hi Lindsay, saaaay...is the pencil sharpener your using the one you did a review on? Thanks, oh by the way .. I love Sat Chat😁

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes it's the Jarlink one

@@thefrugalcrafter ok thank you, I had started looking in your Amazon list, but didn't see it.

do you have some sort of setting that deletes comments with links? cause this was soo gorgeous between the pretty, that I have only couple pastel colored pencils in my collection and mention of space alien jellyfish, my want monster took over and I just wanted to share an image of specific space alien I was going to draw with them... but now I cannot see my comment anymore? and I'm not sure if I'm going mad and replied wrong, or it got deleted :( but anyways.. space alien jellyfish WILL be drawn :D

I think KZbin might delete them.

Do you have to have a special sharpener for square pencils?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I use the large hole in whatever sharpener I have.
