I agree with your process. Knowing where your darks are from the get-go creates the objects’ form right away. I’ve also never been afraid to put lights over darks, even when told it doesn’t work. I’ve made it work. Your process has to be knowing the “rules” and then making them work for you. Beautiful rendition!

In my experience, sometimes trying to layer dark tones over light simply _does not work._ Which varies by ... details (brand, dry/wet technique, etc), but given the transparent nature of the medium, you can ALWAYS layer light over dark.

@@LanaGloschatArt Originally, out of highschool I used Crayola (not exactly known for their blending, but start with whatever you've got, no regrets) and got many years of mileage out of them, though there _was_ one point where I didn't use a page separator so the heavy coloring pressure left clear indents through the next 12 pages or so (of standard "drawing" paper, ~100lb). I've long since started using Prismacolors. Subject-wise, I prefer drawing creatures/animals, the types of things where you can only consult references for specific details, because the whole thing may very well be original.

I choose color just like you do. I would overthink everything if I had to work from recipes or swatches. I also find I can't start from light to dark as I can't *see* my subject at all that way. I need to see the form too. I love the idea of selecting one color though and working that way to start. I'm assuming that for more complex subjects, you'd pick a shadow color for each element (or maybe a couple if there are different local colors as you described for the 2nd rose you showed). I'm excited to try this. I tend to jump to a lot of pencils right away, but I didn't have a specific idea for how to simplify. This may be just what I needed!
@LanaGloschatArt4 ай бұрын
YES! I am so excited to hear you are thinking about trying the one color. It gets you moving a lot faster and stops you from over thinking at the beginning. In most subjects I try to simplify as much as possible and try to work with as few pencils as I can to start. Even for portraits I am usually using just 1-2 colors.

I'm pretty sure I naturally use a similar color-picking method, and I like your method of applying shadows first! I usually apply a base color (leaving the lighter areas to be filled in by another pencil) and build the shadows off of that base layer, but I think that method suits digital art and painting a little bit better than colored pencil. I'm excited to try an approach that involves laying out the shadows first! It also looks like it's a method that would encourage me to not feel a need to rush through the layering process

I use your process as well and map in the darks and lights first. One thing I don't do, however, is use solvents.

I do like burnishing though since it is a very controlled process. I'd love to see you do more botanicals, the rose is beautiful and I have learned a lot from watching this video.

You are so welcome. Great question. You can use watercolor pencils if you have them as a base layer. I do a base layer with watercolor in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWGpYWWli9Oohs0 But watercolor pencils more around a little more and 100% require a sturdy paper that is stretched so you don't have warping. Solvent usually doesn't move around as much, but this one does. The solvent I mentioned in this video only works for oil based pencils - but its less than $10 so its a cheaper alternative than buying a whole set of watercolor pencils. Does that help?
