You have a great sense of choosing colour ...like I mean the balance...it's kinda like nothing is overwhelming...you are great

[@ChrisHongArt]

thanks so much! Trust me, it's not always a desirable outcome XD but I like how this one turned out!

[@beeswithtoast7154]

I agree. She uses some interesting combinations.

[@Victoria-so1in]

I’m mostly a watercolor and ink artist but I’ve been using colored pencils in my paintings as well! Your colored pencils get me excited to use mine to try these kind of arts!

[@beccab3446]

Same. I started using colored pencil when I watched her crayon pencil video and I love it. I used colored pencil all the time now. I couldn't afford to buy polychromos or prismacolor yet, I'm using fabercastell classic for now. It's still good enough for practice. And the video like this one really helps a lot too, for my muse and for practicing :)))))) Also, this camera angle is the best because I can see the whole process clearly :))

[@ItsHaisho]

I use alcohol markers and colored pencils together.

This colour pencil can be erased!! I don’t know about big area, I use eraser for highlights sometimes. you should try it on another paper😆😆

Also the paper blend stick blends it well :) looks more smooth.

Oh my, oh my.........I could watch you colour all day. The way you mix your colours. You are a natural! Thanks ever so much for sharing Chris. Stay safe and well xx

[@Kyomiibrown]

Pinks tend to be more fugitive, especially bright pinks, which is probably why Faber Castell focus more on lightfast pigments over bright colour. Dye based colours are always more bright but are fujitive. You can always add in your prisma pinks if you wanted to.

[@archietheredcat]

this is lovely and Inspiring!, may I follow your step for my art to ? with credits of course, I want to practicing and use my pencil color to

[@ChrisHongArt]

of course! I do studies of other artists all the time to glean from them; it's a really great way to learn! :)

Really impressed with your bold color choices, especially in the hair, it feels so rich and vibrant. Also your gentle layering of colors almost feels like you’re working with oils on those highly rendered areas, again really enjoyable to watch😁

[@ChrisHongArt]

It kind of felt like that as well, as if I were working with real paint at times! thank you!🧡

watching your process and how you progress with your drawings and your art in general is so inspiring for me!!! i'm super precious with my sketches, i'm so afraid of messing everything up that i rarely improve in areas i struggle with. the way you seem so unafraid with your marks gives me courage ;w;

[@christineingram55]

You did amazing towards the end as you were getting used to them..I was a pencil colourist on several teams and I used to take 6/8 hrs to colour a piece like this. I did it for 10 yrs and now I can make mine look like they are painted..no pencil marks at all.You can rub the surface coat off..I have changed skin colour and hair colour that way ..Surprising what you can do with pencils they are like magic sticks ..Most important thing is to keep the pencils sharp ..I love this drawing she’s beautiful 🥰

[@itzsopretty]

Hey Chris! Love your art so much. I love how you draw your characters too. Would you ever do a video on how you draw your characters???

glad you liked the music, I'm pretty picky with the music I choose to put in these videos! XD

[@stiiinkyray]

I wonder if you'd enjoy adding *gamsol or odourless mineral spirits, it dissolves the oil of the pencil and lets the colours flow. can brighten the colours and make painterly effects. *thank you for the correction, Alisa 👍

[@alisawalsh2503]

The issue with using baby oil is that it messes with the lightfastness of the pencils, that's why colored pencil artists use either Gamsol or Odorless mineral spirits. Both of these options are pretty cheap too.

[@user-ll1ls1vj2e]

Coooooool!

[@gabrielasouza4655]

Perfect 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@gregs-jc5ds]

Its worthwhile investing in a few caran dache luminance pencils to use alongside the polychromos, they work really well together. I use the luminance over the polychromos to flatten the texture. But that might not be your desired effect because i do hyper realism.

[@ChrisHongArt]

I'm definitely planning on picking some up in the future!

[@JaviCarmona]

Me encanta!! 😍😍

[@theresedaems8594]

Wouaah ! Magnifique ! Je vous regarde de France , je ne parle pas anglais.Congratulations 👍🤗🥰

[@kristyjoyschoyen1421]

Chris, I’m always so amazed at how meticulous you are in your art - you have a style that is so uniquely yours you’d be able to spot it anywhere. I have a couple thoughts about polychromos pencils (because they’re my absolute fav!): - They do actually erase reasonably well, so you can tone back or redo things you’re not crazy about. (They are of course, pencil crayons, so I don’t think that you’d get the page perfectly clean, but some erasing works). - my all-time favorite neutral colour is caput mortem. It’s the prefect colour for outlining a sketch. I probably use it way too much because i find purposes for it in everything. Lol - earth green is a wonderful colour to shade with - totally worth a try! ❤️

[@ChrisHongArt]

Oo I'll have to look for that colour! I've still yet to get familiar with the names, probably because I don't really check for the names as I work 😅 thanks Kristy!🧡

[@kristyjoyschoyen1421]

Chris Hong Art My absolute pleasure. The DesSerres at St Laurent Shopping Center carries all of the colours piecemeal, so you can buy them one-by-one in the colours you want to try most. And they’ve got a great website too - for these quarantine-y days.

[@salmahatem1998]

I do love you, best of the best 🥰

[@gaborlangi1422]

You could use some white guache for adding highlights on her hair, eyes and nose.

[@peksioart6706]

Before you colored the sketch, the character kinda looks like hermione granger from harry potter (because the hood kinda blends in with the hair)

[@artjay]

Lol I think you’ve convinced me to buy a set! Beautiful work as always. Do you mind sharing what you use to record your videos?

[@karenlommezmakeup4508]

You can erase colored pencils . Use regular erasers or electric erasers.

[@lefthandstory1280]

Very nice friend.great job😘😘....

[@ArtfulShelley]

Hi, Chris... just a suggestion, you can use a kneaded eraser to pull up a bit of color if you put down too much. :)

I’ve been learning abt color theory since I was young but I still find it hard to mix colors to make skin tone effects 😭

[@ariawesley6361]

do you have a certain sharpener you use for your colored pencils? i have prismacolor pencils with no good sharpeners. i love the softness and sharpness of your art you create, and i want to emulate that as best i can.

[@EARBANG]

what kind of paper is it? looks pretty cool

[@LroveRose]

Wish polychromo's were a lil cheaper, seems so nice to work with.

[@weirdartist3920]

Do you have a tutorial on how to use color pencils in general??

[@tania-dj2lc]

Just found your channel!absolutely love your art!!

[@ChrisHongArt]

it really depends on what colours you tend to gravitate towards.. I would compare the available colours between the two sets and see if the 60 has enough of what you think you'll use :O for me personally though, I didn't even consider the smaller sets since I'm of the opinion that with colour pencils, the more the merrier! since it's not like watercolours or other tube paints where you can mix most colours together. It's just a lot more convenient to have a variety of colours available, without having to mix them :) so if you can afford it, I'd suggest the 120!

[@tania-dj2lc]

Thank you very much for the advice!! ^^

[@Christina24life]
