Prismacolor Premier Tips for Adult Colorists - and a Color Along!

[@LuvsSno]

I really appreciate when artists share their thought process as they color..

[@KDiamondPaints]

You are so thoughtful in all your crafting! No music needed- I love to hear your process.😊

[@tinyworldsofwonder]

K Diamond Paints Thanks so much! 😀🥰

[@denisem8957]

I am brand new to the coloring world. I can't even begin to tell you how fortunate I feel to have come across your video!! I have watched a Jillion tutorials. Up till watching yours I thought I have wasted a fortune on books and pencils. Watching and listening, I almost feel like I have my own personal tutor! Ty for holding off on the music. Having a window to your thoughts is very educational. Ty for your time, knowledge, and talent. ❤

[@tinyworldsofwonder]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful, Denise! I really enjoyed making it. :) I appreciate your kind words!

[@delappamy]

Please No music. I’m loving this. I learn more and feel like we’re coloring together while I’m being taught something different so thank you

[@tinyworldsofwonder]

Thanks, Amy! That is great feedback! :)

[@cathymccarthy8258]

Right learning a lot more with the talking, watching even how she holds the pencil :)

[@jamiefugate8758]

Turn your sound off and watch

[@pete5668]

As a music school graduate, I agree with "no music" in these videos. :)

[@teachalltoread]

I agree! The music makes it harder for me to focus as well, and I personally do much better learning when I feel like there's someone here teaching and guiding me through the whole process🥰

[@saragarddiner9244]

Yes , Great video!! I also like to hear people talking as they color. Makes it real. Thank you for this. Sara x

[@ScouseAa]

Hello. I've just happened upon you today and I'm so glad I did. I've, obviously, subscribed to you - well why on Earth not - YOU'RE VERY GOOD!! First I've got Prismas, love them, got 72 then 150 sets. However, I don't love using them because, as you said, they just take too long!! I get mine out, take ages deciding upon a page to work on, chose my colours, then sit and look at it and put it all away again without doing anything at all or doing maybe one leaf or flower and feeling I've ruined a page because I just don't have the patience or any training other than watching tutorials, like yours. Sorry I'm rambling - it's just you say so much that I feel and I've just, 2 days ago, purchased my very 1st Kerby Rosanes book Imagimorphia and it's gorgeous but scares me. I'll shut up now and go away 🤗😁. I'm glad I've found you. That page you showed at the beginning is AMAZING - REALLY GORGEOUS and shows the level of talent you DO HAVE. 💖🤗👍

[@tinyworldsofwonder]

Aw, that's so kind! Thank you! I totally know the feeling of being daunted by a page. I rarely have the patience to work on one project for more than an hour, which makes me a serial starter. I usually do come back around to my projects, but holy cow, Prismas can really be a slog! Thanks for the comment - I loved reading it! :)

[@tawnyleste-carlson8386]

I learned SO DANG MUCH from this tutorial and that macaroon was a work of art when you were done with it. Absolutely beautiful. I think the main reason I learned so much was because of your explaining every step you took, and why. I can’t wait to try out your techniques with my beloved Prismas. I honestly think my pages will come out a lot better now after watching your video. Thank you so much for sharing your artistic talent with us. You are WONDERFUL!

[@dededavis1933]

I agree....no music! I This is my first time on your channel and I enjoyed it a lot. Will continue watching you as I’m always trying to find ways to be a better colorist. You’re very talented!

[@tinyworldsofwonder]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that! 🥰

[@FernCurtis]

I am not sure why your video came up in my recommendations, but I am glad it did, not because I needed it, but rather because as I watched, I would wish that all newbies could see this....(especially those using Prismas) ....the tips you gave were spot on....first one being, become more aware of your surroundings and how the light plays on objects. Second one being, don’t be afraid of using reference photos....and talking about using multiple layers to get a better colored image. Can’t even begin to tell you how many times this comes up in conversations! Great job! (P.S. You were also right about not really needing the biggest set of pencils...those give more colors, true...BUT smaller sets, if used properly will teach you how the colors will interact with other and if one is willing to “play”, they can learn to blend the colors they do have, to make other colors.)

[@tinyworldsofwonder]

Thanks so much for your very kind words, Fern! Comments like yours make my whole day! 🥰

[@claudettejones7922]

Thank you for sharing your shading technique! The layers really bring it to life!

[@tinyworldsofwonder]

Thanks so much, Claudette! :)

AmazinGraceXOXO1 Thanks so much! ❤️ That is so kind. I do have a video on the bokeh background somewhere on my channel if you feel like wading back a bit. 😀

[@ambernicole1734]

Love your coloring tutorials and hope to see many more!!!! The breakdown of your thought process while you color is most valuable bc it walks us through the different factors considered. Your videos are so easy to understand and straight forward. Thank you so much for taking the time to make such helpful coloring tutorials and will definitely be on the lookout for any in the future😇❤️😉

[@loveinspired7]

Figuring out where to place the shadows is the hardest part for me. I figure that once I learn that, I'll be okay. I keep trying, but it never looks right. That's the part that I really want to learn how to master: deciding where the shade and the shadows go. I need a crash course so that I can practice over and over again.

[@PeggyV69]

Thank you! This was so informative, I learned a lot. I enjoy hearing your process. I pretty much color like a kid so I want to try using shading & a lighter hand to work towards coloring more like this. I look forward to watching more of tutorials like this.

[@tinyworldsofwonder]

Thanks so much for that great feedback Peggy! I'm so glad you found the video helpful! :)

[@rikaphryxus5110]

I came to visit your channel to see if there were any new videos and yeah there were. I really need to watch and hear a lovely relaxing video to destress from this week at work. Thank you so much for providing that.

Hi, Stefanie!! I have been delinquent in working on this page, but I definitely plan to continue the series, even if it takes me 20 years. LOL! :) I love this book!

[@pjlewisful]

I love how you gently point out so many good tips to your audience. Prisma colors work best for me dull. I tried many sharpeners...all disappointing, so I sharpen with an Exacto knife, then a little sandpaper for when I need to get into a tiny area.

[@tinyworldsofwonder]

Hi, Pj! Thanks so much for your kind words. :) Those are really great tips - I never thought to use an exacto, but that is a brilliant idea!

Do you color only during the day? I find it hard to color at night.

[@LuvsSno]

What kind of eraser are you using?

[@faceless-x-abberation8400]

I've went through several pieces of blank paper here recently from using them to test colors. Although I've only been using Crayola so far. I can color pretty decent though and my older sister saw a couple of the things I've colored. So she ended up surprising me with a pack of Prisma Color pencils. Haven't used them yet. So I figured I'd look up some info about them.
