Not Scott saying that this was “just a demo” -_- sir that is a masterpiece

[@Artninpop]

Agreeable

[@yacapucha406]

Maybe in the eyes of a master its a demo, i mean all his paintings are masterpieces!

[@SMR624]

Thank you Scott for the non stop help with my art journey

[@Bearclawepic]

Man I know he’s so helpful and somehow I always get recommended the PERFECT short for my situation

[@joanwaters6410]

Seeing the colored pencils after the piece is finished really gets the idea across of just how much pencil you use on a piece like this. Those were all basically new pencils!

[@dulcineia9039]

Thank you for this quick tutorial! Even though I’m not so new to painting and art, I’m totally new to watercolor and colored pencils so even hints about basics are helpful for me. You are a great teacher and quiet mentor.

[@sagpasta]

Thank you so much for this kind of videos. I love this 8 to 10min format!

[@ssavaart]

Absolutely My Pleasure ♥

[@Iris-qf9cq]

I also REALLY REALLY love the way how you blend in those colours! Im thirteen,and i too prefer colour pencils over paint because they're easier to blend somehow,from my perspective

[@ElenaKesselring]

Your videos are truly helpful in a lot of ways, both in the technical aspect and giving us inspiration and motivation - really, thank you for doing what you do

[@danielataus5175]

Thank you for that advice for using colour pencils. Never did that before

[@Sofia-ee1hw]

Wow your technique is fantastic! I've got Faber-Castel Polychromos coloured pencils and they definitely seem to be very different to Prismacolors but are great for my not-so-photorealistic style. Thank you for the delightful videos Scott! 💖

[@Nico20245]

Thank you Scott😊 I am also in love with coloured pencils.

[@meerabnauman8032]

This video helped alot thanks Scott. Also does anyone have any advice on how to motivate yourself when you have a art block. I am struggling with it alot and feel like I am not motivated to make art but at the same time feel guilty because I am not making any art or practicing at all.

[@ssavaart]

[@cloudeon3468]

There's two answers to that imo. 1: is when you're just having a bad time in general and it's effecting your art. With that don't feel bad about stepping away for a day or two. Get your head right and don't get discouraged! 2: Youre not enthusiastic about what you're doing. Try something else, get something on the page. Challenge yourself to do a full page of something you've never been able to get down or create something KNOWING you'll fail. Get all that bad energy out and maybe you'll find that spark again!

[@user-xt3nk4cp8m]

Draw things that you like, wether it’s movie or game fan art, book fan art, people you like, or you could just force yourself to sit down pick up a pen and doodle, and maybe you’ll get inspired by what you draw.

[@S-North]

It's ok to have a break from it. It is a normal part of being artistic.

[@user-xt3nk4cp8m]

@@S-North yep

[@kateatschool]

I really appreciate your detail when you talk about art - the names of the colours, the order that you lay them down in. It feels like I can have a go too

[@hexshesmoringme1951]

Ive been getting into using coloured pencils as of late- so this definitely is a big help! Thank you Scott!

[@Farhan1.2]

Please can you do the same video with watercolor's

[@ssavaart]

Sure

[@hector9161]

I’m absolutely loving these longer videos Scott! Thank you so much for these! I would love to see a longer video on your swiss medic bag and all the art supplies you carry around with you. AMAZING WORK AS ALWAYS!!!

[@miz7927]

Thank you for this video! I was really struggling with the blending aspect of coloured pencils, & I appreciate you putting subtitles in the video :))

[@-Marley-Mars-]

Sir, I’ve been watching your videos for a long while and you are the reason I began expanding my mediums. Watercolors, colored pencils, even just regular pens at times. You’ve influenced my art, and many other aspiring artists. Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone all that time ago to show us your art, while helping us. To me, you are one of the masters. Thank you. 💙💙💙

[@TheMkropp]

You should do an expanded video, like this one, on watercolors!!

[@Mr.J_1940]

Love these longer videos! Thanks for being such an amazing art teacher Scott!

[@makersinc4434]

please keep doing these longer form videos, so educational!

[@sum.23]

I feel so motivated for your videos. Sometimes I'm just worried of making mistakes that I avoid even trying, but you encourage me to keep trying and to be proud of my mistakes! Thank you!

[@sum.23]

I loved this video, very useful. Thanks so much Scott!

[@randomkirakira9796]

Great tutorial on blending with Colored Pencils. Love how u blend different colors for the skin especially with the pinks and purples. Thank you for the tutorials ❤❤❤

[@Morgan.Mouse.]

I learn so much in a fun way anytime I watch your videos. Thanks Scott.

[@selenep1193]

Love it! Love P!nk!

[@Jesus4444me]

Amazing to watch, thank you!

[@febblepebble]

even I found this helpful and coloured pencils have been my main traditional medium for 8 years! personally I push lightly for the entire piece, and when it comes to blending I just go over and over the same spot and it has a similar effect without the broken pencils or wrists. though I'm also not going for photo-realism, and I quite like the raw pencil texture, so there's that difference. definitely agree that coloured pencils are a lot more predictable than something like paint. I find that for me at least, most of the work is up to my imagination, and my colour choice. to have interesting shapes and colour combinations, to use several colours to shade with and sharing colours (like if I did pink hair and a blue shirt I might put some pink highlights in the shirt and some blue in the hair). I'm also generally going for a whimsical fantasy sort of aesthetic, so this technique works for that great comprehensive video :)

[@diana9239k]

Ahh im so glad you made this video! Just yesterday I started using my arrtx colored pencils again (from your review of them!) and this video could not have come at a better time!! Thank you!

[@user-qz4bl5be6u]

Actually I think its solvent. You can use that for some really nice blending.

[@Braylen_Draws]

Okay like I said I drew you on my KZbin channel and in that drawing of mine of you do you have any suggestions to make it better it is prismacolor

[@LydiaBisland]

The highlights and shading is 🤯🤯🤯 SO GOOD 😍👌🏻

[@chloejohnson9471]

Thank you for this scott, I got some coloured pencils for christmas (the 24pc faber castell) and I honestly love them and have been expoloring with them. I draw in a manga sort of style - very different to yours - but you help so much with improving my art and I will definitely use these tips to make my art look even better. ❤

[@ThyLocalBard]

Just a demo?! Not me being in awe of your art, yet again! Your videos have helped me so much on my journey making art and while I don't do it as much as I'd prefer, your channel is what gives me the motivation to when I can snag an hour or two. I think I've improved so much. Though, to be honest, even if I didn't make art at all I think I'd still come here, because you truly make the internet a brighter place. I definitely want to try out coloured pencils now lol.

[@DiegoaL1424]

Not as much of an artist as I was when I was younger but these videos inspire me and are very wholesome ❤

[@user-ps1ts9lp3u]

Am I the only one who calls them pencil crayons?

[@jayman1462]

yes.

[@toebiter69]

obviously not​@@jayman1462

[@TommijeanHagwood-nj2bx]

😂

[@FletcherCollier]

Not the only one, but my 3rd grade teacher did and some friends

[@yakuzaman5074]

Most of my Canadian friends call them pencil crayons!

[@margaretmacinnes1519]

Wow Scott!!! The pencil 90 minute demo f Pink was magic 😄 Just amazing ♥️♥️

[@SagacityLost]

Great advice! Thank you!!

[@Tucker-rd8tn]

Thank you Scott, your videos are an inspiration, and I truly appreciate it, I had a suggestion for what you could do as another art project. I know from experience that there are a couple drawings that I truly love, perhaps you could do scenes with your favorite characters from the guild, like the centaur, or the couples, etc. Also thanks for the help on colored pencils!

[@King_Keroppi]

Thank you I’m new to colored pencils andI just got new colored pencils!! I realllyyyy struggled at first but now I’m getting better❤❤❤❤❤

[@hannahw1409]

Nice video and I really like P!nk. It was fun to watch your sped up drawing paired with the explanation!

[@tannerdickinson2778]

I love your shorts tutorials on how to draw eyes, water-color, ect. but I would love to see more of that at a similar style and length of this video. Great job man.

[@blender_photography]

What an amazing demo. I would love to see your tips on fur or animals using colored pencils. Thank you.

[@Lil-Pony]

This really helps me think about where to add highlights when doing hair. Thank you for your advice!

[@omopoji]

this looks rly good and i rly enjoyed the video

[@artsy_dragon_creations]

I absolutely love the drawing of Pink! The small tip size and the amount of pressure you have to use with colored pencils always made me not really like them much. You can get amazing results, but filling large areas with smooth flat colors is a pain. Then I started practicing with Crayola markers and over time found lots of tricks and techniques to use with them that kind of gives me a blend of watercolors, colored pencils, and alcohol markers depending on how I apply them, and now I feel so comfortable and confident with them that I can get really cool results

[@robine909]

Even though I'm drawing digitally unlike your traditional drawings, your words to just draw what you want and feel is really inspiring

[@daijishinomori9161]

I got to catch you do this live. It was so beautifully done! I'm a little jealous that you could do colored pencils because I got wrist problems so I can't push down the colors as I should. I'm glad I found other mediums that worked for me. Thanks as always for sharing your work and your knowledge with us. It's a joy to watch you work.😊

[@LydiaBisland]

I really did learn a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

[@loadsotroubleforyou]

Amazing!! That k you so much, I've been really leaning into coloupencil crayons in the last while and I love the input on things I've been learning on my own🎉

[@MelissaJMassey]

I have a nice collection of colored pencils at this point, but sadly never enough time to use them! It was so nice to watch you color with them. It reminded me of the first time I got to try prismacolors and how magical they were. I prefer the Derwent coloursofts now, but the magic is still the same! Also nice to see another artist with a love of bristol, it's my favorite paper for drawing (though I'm mostly using it for markers these days.)

[@rayningart]

This was so incredibly helpful! I've worked with colored pencils but you have a technique I've never considered. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experience with us!

[@krumelmonster1278]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Could you make a video about everything you know about acrylics? That's what I'm trying to work with but I'm not really sure what I'm doing and I'd love to hear (and see) what you know about working with them ❤

[@PaperPearls24]

You make it look so easy. My favorite mediums are colored pencil and watercolors. I learned some things from this. Thanks Scott.

[@youngchuku3710]

Love this guys videos always positive and never hides his mistakes , very inspiring

[@jeanling6985]

Thank you for this video^^ I always enjoy your KZbin videos and this came in right on time for me!

[@rensaltena9103]

This is really impressive to me. Videos like these motivate me to keep on learning

[@yeesabeluh]

Thank you so much for making this video! I've been trying to get into colored pencils and watercolor because of you and this video really helped a lot and only inspires me to create more with the medium! I would love if you could someday also make one with watercolor as you mentioned it is.a bit more unpredictable and unique and I think it would be extremely nice to see your day to day approach with it! Hope you have a nice day!

[@Ricebread343]

This looks amazing!! Hard to believe that you are calling it a demo. Great explanation, thank you. ❤❤❤❤

[@manahilmazhar2873]

Honestly i like color pencils exactly because of the control you have over them unlike painty meduims sooo yuh ..this vid helped alot thank you very much ❤❤❤❤

[@user-ln7sw8vh8y]

Thank you. Seriously thank you. I colour with pencil colours but i really get confused sometimes, this video really helped.

[@crimswolf7403]

Now I am eager to grow on color pencil art. Thank you!

[@OG.Wercked]

Love your videos ❤❤

[@maikebaier8004]

Such a great Video! I am so exited because I try to get better with my colored pencils and I see that I do the stuff just like You explained it so I hope to get that good with a bit more practice❤❤

[@madametj]

Have you tried Neocolor IIs? They are also wax, and basically function as an extra soft colored pencil, so you can blend them without having to push quite so hard. You can also use them on their side to cover larger areas quicker (at least for the first layer). I think you'd like them!

[@user-vk4cr5gn8d]

Just got my first set of Colored pencils thanks for this!!

[@shankariab1687]

Colouring addict here, love the art work of pink, thanks for the video Scott :)

I would also love a video like this with watercolor and gouache

[@nyx-draws-a-lot]

Thank you so much for this video. It really helped a lot!

[@MerryMoss]

Your videos are so relaxing to watch ^^ And it's very sweet that you drew Pink for your wife 💕

[@testaMMent]

Thank you scott for this!! It's really helpful. Do you have any tips for coloring fur with colored pencils?

[@cinderblockstudios]

The old Berol Prismacolors are still light years better than the new ones! I go out of my way to find them at second hand stores and rummage sales as much as possible! The new ones just aren't the same IMHO

[@parcellstamp]

Hi Scott love from Kuwait! I love thse long form videos please make more!!

[@ChantelleArts]

This is fascinating, so many amazing tips ☺☺

[@chezforshire8771]

Thank you for this video! It was fun to watch you use it in a longer form video, and it was insightful. I'd just like to ask, when you're choosing the colours to use in blending will they always be closer to the base than the shadow or is there a different thing to consider?

[@blessyoudaylight12]

Oh my lord thank you. this is amazing. I been making a ton of art and I always use colored pencils but never have I ever imagined that it could look this nice.

[@TMFGAMING]

Blending is awesome 😎

[@achen997]

Wow!! I think I’ve learned a lot from this!

[@arnoldmayii3563]

Very informative and cool

[@ourartandcraft1M]

Really Informative,n you create beauuuutiful 🎉❤picture

[@Ninorca_]

This is exactly what I need right now since I have my first "Abitur" exam in a week in my art class (Abitur is the German equivalent of graduating high school). I want to do the exam with a praxis part and I plan on using coloured pencils even though I almost never use them, since I am a painter, but you can't really paint elaborate paintings in like two hours with the cheap material the school offers. But since they aren't my usual medium I could really use the advice on how to use them correctly! So thanks, you saved my "Abitur"! (At least in one class)

[@albamarquesfores6290]

Thanks for the tutorial and your recommendations, I love your art. Still supporting this channel !!

[@mrfq_abg]

Wow, thank you for this! Question - what could you improve so much if you were to spend 10 times the amount of time on? I'm guessing blending? If so could you teach us your ways on 10 minute vs 100 minutes blending? Thanks for the inspiration Scott!

[@hallows7568]

So so helpful! That emphasis on pressing hard really hit home. I've always been heavy handed, and I can just feel the pain of every time I've colored a large piece heavy handed. It's why I'm glad I invested in better paper too. The poor printing paper did not handle pressing hard well at all-

[@user-mj1qp2qv6k]

Wow! Only 90 minutes? That's amazing!

[@kitiarawolfmoon]

prisma colors were always my favorite to use back when i did art alot. i found that using a paper towel like bounty helped to blend the colors without having to press so hard on them

[@CJShopland_Art]

5:58 ever tried posca pencils , a wax and oil mix that are soooo smooth to use, would love to see how you got on with those, and price vs the most luxury of pencils. Never expected them to become my favourite pencil, only 36 colours but probably enough ?

[@tomtomsworld1153]

I was wondering if you could do an old sketchbook tour? I always love seeing artist different styles through the years and i think yours would be really interesting even if it was just realism all the way

[@frustraceann]

my medium has trended into almost exclusively digital art, and i chronically abandoned pieces. i haven't finished a traditional piece that wasn't an assignment in over a year. but your videos are really motivating me to invest more in my favorite hobby, instead of limiting myself because of perfectionism. :,)

[@elanorhaakstad3482]

Before I saw this video, I had no idea what I was doing with my coloured pencils, I figured that it would work the same as watercolours, from the lightest to the darkest. But this is so much better. Thank you! ❤

[@CuriosityRocks]

I work with my pencils over alcohol markers on Hot Pressed Watercolour paper, I start with markers and put on the highlights then the deepest colours and then work with the lighter deep tones and eventually fill in the rest with a mid tone. I also now use a topographical approach to the face, the areas closer to the light are lighter coloured the deepest parts of the face the darker I go.

[@arteriesandveins]

Using coloured pencil as my main medium for my five hour art exam this month so thank you for this !!

[@Siriuslyyy]

Awesome!

[@Glacenair]

I also always start with the eyes for the same reason haha. They really make the drawing. One tip I have for coloured pencil drawings, and I actually do the same for paintings where I don't use line art: use a coloured pencil to sketch with. That's personal preference, but I don't like how the graphite can mix in with your colours, so I use a coloured pencil. A light grey or yellow. My favourite paper is Toned Tan, so then I use white

[@shlokaviswanadha436]

This is rlly helpful
