My teacher told us to watch this. I thought I knew how to use coloured pencils, but these tips are so much better! My technique I call: the art of random.

this is actually nice, you get to see how your colored pencils behave in different techniques

[@alphaartistmsp2433]

I wouldn't recommend pressing "hard" because that eats your pencil, it's better to press lightly until it turns darker. Patience is the key for color pencils or any medium!

[@MrOtterArtStudio]

Great tip!

[@glacierkn]

I think pressing hard gives it a burnishing smoothing effect?

[@Itsme-oo8nl]

Noris colour pencils don't brake I recommend them

Bad tip

[@bhingolacson510]

Very good tutorial. I learned a lot on how to use colored pencils on the demo and specifically her way of delivering them. Every word was crystal clear and her voice is just perfect that anyone will follow for sure without getting bored and annoyed. I wish my Teachers from Kindergarten to College are all like her. To top this all, she even reviewed from demo 1 to 12. Excellent! I give her a 🙌.

[@MrOtterArtStudio]

Thank you so much, that was very kind:)

really helpfull

[@phuongminh7081]

very useful for beginner

[@zartist]

I noticed you are using a blunt point. Most professional colored pencil artists stress using a very sharp pencil. Also building colors slowly to achieve the darks rather than pressing hard and damaging the paper surface.

[@MrOtterArtStudio]

Great tip Eva, you are correct with the sharp pencil, and also building up the colors, I should do a follow up video on this one

[@CaliToys]

I love the colors, this video is relaxing;)

[@Elflightwarrior]

I have a question, when you use the eraser, you should apply just a tiny bit of pressure on the color to get the blending effect, right?

[@IKILLEDXIX]

Awesome video! My textiles teacher attached this video for a reason :D

[@MrOtterArtStudio]

Glad I could help!

[@elivrse]

I’m doing online work right now with my school and the teacher has told us to watch this and do the top 4 I’m about to start but I’ll come back when I’ve done them

[@nanli5461]

this video is nice I learned a lot

[@dineshjala2196]

Simple and nice video 👍👍👍

[@mads4it555]

I would like to offer you some constructive criticism, and a way to do it better. I hope you don't mind... I watched your video and took a lot of tips from it. You have many good things to share, I learned a lot which helped me, so I'd like to help you back now. I couldn't and wouldn't want to make a KZbin video, but you do and it helps share knowledge and wisdom. I see the benefits of the videos. If you don't mind a little advice, I think you could do this one aspect, better... I am new to colouring with pencils, I've been doing it less than a week, but I instinctively achieved layering and blending to get almost the deepest colours with a light touch. Of course I need a little effort to get the best pigment colouring, on the top level, but it isn't nearly so much effort to achieve, as scrubbing the pencil hard on the paper. It will be much easier for you to make a new video, compared to a new pencil lol. Happy colouring... I hope I helped you, thank you for helping me.

[@sanamalameh479]

thanks :)

[@easilydistracted5192]

any particular reason for not sharpening the pencils? Derwent Superpoint is one great mechanical sharpener that gets these to a really narrow point reliably.

[@jasmeetkaur4588]

Very useful😊

I pressed so hard on the white because I thought it wouldn't show. But it did and also broke the pencil crayon.

[@MrOtterArtStudio]

I am so sorry!! I have broken many white crayons and colored pencils as well :(

[@clairebear5113]

How expensive are your water color pencils ?? I have some cheap ones I got as a gift. I didn't even know they existed before then. Idk if they're any good because I have no comparison

[@MrOtterArtStudio]

Mine were a little pricey, I got them for my birthday, but they are totally worth it

[@HaseebKhan-bh5su]

Which colored is layer for red colored

[@jacketedstorm5480]

Does it matter if your colored pencils are hard or soft?I'm new to colored pencils.

[@ime4489]

Yes. Hard ones are good for the contour and soft ones for filling and blending. But u have to try which is better for you. People usually have both

[@emteedee21]

try blending oppisite direction

[@Inevitably_Invisible]

oooh gradient

[@Eaglejorge]

thanks , was there a mistake in 5:45 last box??

[@MrOtterArtStudio]

I don't think so, the very last box was completed earlier:)

[@kt2002angel]

isnt it caked a gradient?

[@kt2002angel]

called*

[@khatzeye]

Apparently "Gradient" is a term used more in physics (like temperature, pressure, or concentration) or when describing slopes or inclines. "Gradate" is specific to the blending one color into the next.

[@sandhyarani8326]

What do you do if you don't have any actual expensive colored pencils and you only have Crayola? Can Crayola still work okay?

[@theeleventhrose598]

Queen Z Thank you for telling me! That helped!

This community is so helpful and kind!! You can use crayola they will still blend, just not as smoothly
