This Disney Coloring Page is HARDER Than it Looks!

[@RMD]

It turned out Amazing!!! I think the Gesso helped with the textures in the background but I do think it would have made you main characters easier to work with without the gesso. Also have you ever tried using an xacto knife for hair? Do the exact technique that you did and when finished lightly scrape back the pencil in the direction that the hair if flowing and it will take up some of the pencil to reveal tiny hair like marks. It really makes a big difference and its pretty quick. You can then go back and add some highlights and lowlights in areas for finishing touches. Ok I am done now haha. 🤣🙌✌

[@SarahRenaeClark]

I tried the knife trick once and couldn’t get it to work. But I know exactly what you mean and I’ve seen other pencil artists do it beautifully! I’ll get it right at some point 😜

[@emmawheeler4624]

Yes it didn’t bleed through because of the gesso! 😄 definitely try another page with regular gesso, it will still feel textured, but more like it’s been sanded lightly rather than actual rough sandpaper. Can’t wait, this page was gorgeous

[@marcellek]

Loved this one, especially your comment at 7:30, "Let's be fearlessly creative together!". It should be on a shirt or poster. Thanks for another awesome video!

[@Jroobelucios]

How about just “Fearlessly Creative?” The whole thing would be a lot to put on a shirt 🤔

[@sophiewiest1493]

I love the fact that your videos aren't only 20min coloring advice, but 20min life advice and happy talk with nice background :)

[@221b-Maker-Street]

I *love* the 'splashy watercolour' look that you've achieved here, Sarah!

[@aishwaryarai3044]

For me this is something more than just colouring and detailing because I was falling asleep.......which clearly shows how satisfying this is!!😄

[@美好世界-m9h]

Watching your video is helpful not only in improving art techniques, but also in soothing emotion.

[@RMD]

I am only halfway through but so far the texture actually looks really cool on the background items, such as the trees and other landscaping. You are making it look easy if you are really struggling with the texture. Excited to see the end result!!

[@OrcaStrike02]

Your cat is adorable! 😁That clip in the beginning was 🤣

[@yorkkato]

You are so inspiring to me as an amateur artist! I appreciate that you don't just focus on the physical tips and tricks, but also share help for the mental aspects of art, too

[@jacobroberts1434]

Try gessoing the back side of the page to stop the bleed through and eliminate the texture

[@baotrannguyenngoc4545]

Wow

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

I really appreciate your reminders that skills take practice to learn and to master... I've struggled with taking on tasks that I fear I won't be good at right away because I'm afraid of failing/not being good/good enough at something. I would love to be able to color the way you do and its always such a good reminder that it takes time and practice and repetition and even after hundreds of hours... thousands of hours... no one is perfect and there's always room to grow and learn. It's so applicable to so many things. I honestly keep coming back to your videos for your attitude and outlook more than anything. :)

[@SofSof.]

Thank you for being honest about the wrong gesso purchase and reviewing your experience with it. Love all your coloring pages. You are truly amazing!

[@MichellePetermann]

So beautiful!! Clearly you love Disney, I do too!! Someday I will be able to color a page like that. For now I should maybe stick to the Disney books for kids LOL

[@bilalahmadshah3936]

You're the QUEEN OF COLOURING..Sarah. ..😇

[@gilashroot8697]

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I would really like to see a boring colouring page. The way you know that it will turn out its best. At least for 1 of these pages. They are so beautiful. The bonus is we get to how it turns out in comparison to your experiments. Love you, love your channel, love this video. Thank you for uploading a video. I keep searching to see if I missed 1 of your videos. However you never disappoint. I always end up learning something new and enjoying watching you make beautiful art.

[@edwardriley7382]

❤️ the way you encourage people to not fear making mistakes with there own art and that we all are at different stages. Myself I'm just getting back into drawing after years and really enjoying your marker an coloured pencil videos as that's what I'm using. So thanks again for a great upbeat and supportive vidoe🙂

[@marianni24]

This turned out amazing! With all these Disney videos, you made me want... better, NEED to get this book (or the other version, also fine...). I'm not a professional, but drawings are something that always made me feel happy. I'm really in the mood of taking this challenge! I just love to watch your videos, makes me relax and want to do art the whole day 💖

[@jicolourist]

You could also sand your page with a nail sand block. Glad you did this though, experiments are always worth it. I also use Daniel Smith transparent watercolour ground when using wet mediums in a book.

[@erikagholston6610]

The artwork looks amazing. Please do another page. I enjoy watching you create it is so calming. Thank you.

[@krystlehardy-hawken9872]

Absolutely stunning! I have never seen the pencil/marker combo till I watched your videos and it always looks wonderful. I really must give it a try again

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

OMG Krystie you NEED to try it now!! LOL!!! It saves an insane amount of time over just using pencils alone! Like...HOURS of time saved!😄😄 Have fun!

[@krystlehardy-hawken9872]

I'm good for saving time!!! I just can't seam to make it work when I tried it before

[@thebookwyrmslair6757]

Temi Danso also does this technique! It scares me because I'm COMMITTING to the basic colors, rather than allowing a small section to take the rest in a different direction... but she does a GREAT job.

[@2teepeepictures382]

I just watched the first 15 seconds of this video. Somehow you manage to say the most relatable thing I have heard in a long time. That is literally me every time I start something new

[@karengreer]

I like the videos in which you experiment things like this: today it is gesso and markers. If you want to get into watercolor practice then I will suggest using watercolor markers first. Those are good for coloring books with thick paper and you can combine them with Derwent Inktense as both, markers and colors, don’t need so much water to be activated. There is another artist here on KZbin that found a hack to use regular markers, water-based, and gouache. I think her channel is called Color My World. The hacks she suggests are awesome and can be used on regular coloring book paper. Thanks for the video and tips.

[@giaburrows7244]

I bought these books just so I could colour along with you. You could legit just colour from these books and have a solid return audience because it's truly mesmerizing.

[@Bnd-bt8od]

Love that you continue to experiment with different techniques. 😊I have learned so much about supplies and techniques you have shown and your printouts and colour catalogues help me so much when it comes to my colouring. I've ordered my colour cubes and new planner and can't wait for them to arrive, so excited! Thank you for you content and reference material. 💛

[@ChristineSG19]

You’re such an amazing artist! Even when things didn’t go as you expected you were still able to pull through and create a masterpiece!

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

Hi Sarah! Love how the page came out!!! Do you have tracing paper or glassine lying around? If you do use a piece of it to rest your hand on so you don't schmear your art from resting your hand on it! It might not work if there is an insane amount of pencil dust physically laying on the page, but it works like a dream for normal circumstances! It's what I do AND an added bonus is that it keeps the art archival by keeping your skin oils off the art which can alter the color over time! So if you're making something to give to someone........😄😄😊😊

[@SarahRenaeClark]

I bought a roll of glassine but have never opened it! Thanks for the reminder

[@CassiaDee]

Beautiful as always! I loved your tip on coloring leaves. It sounds so much simpler and yet looked so good! I'm inspired to try that technique in my own coloring pages now

[@descendantgaming5410]

For the pencil dust, I'd recommend using a make-up brush. Preferably the fan type one. It will minimize smearing.

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

Love the way the Disney Coloring Page turned out 💞

[@kristenboucher637]

Beautiful work! And I love the 'fearlessly creative' philosophy! Definitely need to get that on a t shirt!

[@pamelagrandymerkel]

Wow 👏 Love your coloring as always. Vibrant colors just flows well together. A master piece literally 😊

[@mae.mae5]

Hey Sarah, Some video ideas: 1. Colour using one colour on a colouring page. Eg: colour using every red colour you have of water colour, colour pencils, markers etc. on one colour page 2. Colour one page using one type medium with different colours each. So if you use a red colour pencil you can't use red of another medium, say red water colour. So basically, as an example, you use red marker, blue pencil, green watercolour etc. I like your chanel by the way, very relaxing 😌 Also, have you seen the prismacolour colour erase pencils. They're colour pencils that you can actually erase! Wild!

[@nightman2834]

[@ladylizsworld9274]

The gesso made it looked really awesome. I really like the texture. This came out really cool.

[@otakutante]

The amount of detail you archieve in this drawings is amazing! Although the Gesso might have to be too textured for your liking, for myself it could be exactly right if the colored pencils act like pastel pencils because of it. I mean, with pastel pencils you don't need to push that hard to get the pigment down and that might mean, that my hand doesn't need to suffer that much anymore, if I use colored pencils on top of the sandpaper Gesso? For a weakhanded person like me, that would be a thing! 😅

[@maxwell_design_studios]

There’s also sanded paper or pastelmat that makes your pencils behave more like pastel pencils if you’re interested!

[@otakutante]

@@maxwell_design_studios That sounds really interesting! Thank you for letting me know!😊💕

[@ShezzArt]

This page turned out so beautiful! It looks as good as the original painting to me! Definitely frame worthy! ☺️ Gesso is such an amazing tool to help preserve pages from bleed through and creating texture but it’s got a learning curve to it (like everything else). I applied it to a Kinkade coloring page and it worked… I just didn’t plan my approach well. Thankfully, Procreate helps fix happy accidents 🤣 definitely going to try the gesso again after watching this video!

[@donsdoodleart]

Beautiful

[@Annie-mq1mt]

[@darkprincess000jk]

Tangled is one of my fav movies ^_^ Love how this page came out. The gesso worked to make it look like a painting, it's such a good effect

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Sarah, Different gesso kinds/types are so different and will enhance your surfaces! I use a clear gesso to create grit for soft pastels! you can even create a homemade watercolor ground from clear gesso and transparent modeling paste! SO many uses! You might try several types, textured, clear, white, even black! Just find the one that works best with your style! I so enjoy your videos and simply love your style and accent too! Thank You!

[@annihull6373]

Wow! Impressive. I did not know that there are different types of gesso. Way to persevere.. Blessings

[@malinf6654]

Thank you for another wonderful video. I’m amazed how beautiful you made the page. I really love ❤️ how it turned out.

[@sarah_crafty]

Really beautiful outcome 😍 can’t wait to see you try the regular gesso

[@Sylphinator]

Yes, that was a great side effect from the gesso =) btw that page came out amazing awesome work Sarah!!

[@chriskilue]

I like the experimental stages you have. How about applying gesso in just certain sections to enhance textures and not on all the page? This might work the next time you try a detailed coloring page like this.

[@michielpostelmans2001]

Amazingly done! 👏👏👏 I really admire the amount of effort you put in this piece, especially because of the size

[@corafromhell]

This is gorgeouss! 😍 Your skills are amazing. So inspiring. 😊

[@Father_of_Death]

I love how it looks. I might just try some Gesso to see if I can combine the marker and color pencil technique.

[@martialartess]

I would love to see you take on an achromatic color scheme--black, white, and greys.

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

You can buy SMOOTH gesso. So no grit to wear down your markers or colored pencils. There is also a clear gesso - not white.

[@sandragordon1161]

Another great piece Sarah! I must try your Gesso technique 😉. I always learn so much from you .. keep the videos coming 'funny girl' 🥰

[@samruddhisaoji7195]

I really enjoy your thomas kinkade disney book videos! Post them more! Love your art btw 😍

[@Julie-vy3oz]

Turned out beautifully. Yeah, Gesso is used on substrates, typically with acrylics, to strengthen and prep the surface. It prevents absorption, even the non-texture type. My “fearless” attempts always involve trying to be looser in style. It almost always turns out like I used my toes!

[@SarahRenaeClark]

“Coloring with toes” sounds like a KZbin video 😂

[@learnartwithme3766]

@thefrugalcrafter has a video on her channel where she primes a sketchbook page with gesso, the image of plums comes out looking like pastel, but it's chromaflow pencils.

[@raventhistle]

I can't wait to try this 😊 I have both clear and white gesso, and inherited watercolour pencils. I'm thinking the gesso I have might be better for my pencils. Guess I'll find out! 😄

[@aussiecrafter]

Another work of art 🎨 Beautiful 😍

[@Raining4rain]

love how it looks!

[@mikamiso]

one thing you could try with the gesso marker combo, is doing the markers first and then doing gesso. (basically gesso is like acrylic paint combined with a chalk/rough medium that makes paint stick to it) its also good if you have a super smooth paper you want to use coloured pencils on as it creates more tooth effectivly. all gesso does this btw so it wasnt that you used the wrong one. if you wanted a smoother texture tho you can lightly sand it before you work. oh and if you want something that will absorb the paint/ink more you can use something called watercolour ground, i personally own some for painting on wood with watercolour and also it works as almost a tipex/correction fluid that you can paint over. it is kinda expensive though! :'D

[@Nitemage1]

Another thing to try is watered down white acrylic paint but add a medium to it. The medium will smooth it out.

[@julielegg5582]

You make me want to try one of these coloring pages finally! It's TIME.

[@The31august]

I can relate to this a lot! I usually say 'not bad, but not that great" during coloring. But when i finish it, I'm quite proud of myself regardless how it looks lol

I’m learning to use the alcohol markers and colored pencils and I have a question I will be happy if you can help me with that 🙏🏻 do you paint the big areas with alcohol markers and the rest with pencils….

Howdy and happy day!!! Fascinating coincidence!

The coloring is nice and for a drawing with many details if it is worth the time. Sincerely paint with colored pencils if it takes time...ecause of the Arrtx pencils they look nice =) I think that since they are brand new they have those tones but surely in the future they will make a wider collection. Nice work and patience. It's different to color large areas and take into account a drawing with many details. It's more fun :D

[@denisestover2416]

Have you tried going over your colored pencil with Gamsol or Odorless Mineral Spirits? If no, you should try it! It smooths out your colored pencil and breaks down the wax so you can add more layers, if you wanted to do so.

[@2teepeepictures382]

The effect of the Jesso on alcohol markers reminds me of when I tried to use alcohol markers on canvas. I absolutely loved the result. Originally I was going to make a video of me trying acrylic paint for the first time but Instead halfway through I decided to switch to my watercolor pencils. Watercolor pencils on canvas was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with watercolor pencils so I decided to keep on experimenting and I used alcohol markers as well. It’s cool that all three mediums completely blended in together. Like you couldn’t tell that I used different tools for the different parts. It’s a shame that I decided to experiment with using a black sharpie to add very thick lines. I thought it would give it a very stylistic look. Instead it gives it a very sloppy look. Felt a little bit like lightning McQueen when his tires blew out right in front of the finish line. I ended up making the The video even though the results weren’t great because I actually learned a lot. Also I didn’t have any more time to make another one or I wasn’t going to get a video that week. You should try alcohol markers on canvas. It was a lot of fun. It looks just like watercolor. By the way I love The result in this video. This is definitely something you should be proud of. Whenever I finish a big piece like that I usually walk around with a goofy grin on my face for days.
