I’ve been watching tutorials on color pencil for YEARS and this is the BEST description and tutorial on how and why to layer!! Especially HOW! It’s like everything finally clicked for me, thanks to YOU!!! Really, greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and talents with us!!

You really have a way with teaching! I love your videos and your detailed and informative explanations. I can’t believe I only just recently found your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I love your videos! I even watch them over again when im trying to learn something again that i forgot! you should do classes on skill share! Im already a member! Trying to get better and putting down color and layering and mixing. I love learning from u! Especially cuz i can still pay attention and even just watch you and not get frustrated ( i have autism and learning from people on youtube can be difficult. you are sarah renae clark have been such amazing artists to learn from these past yers

[@brieannadouglas2888]

TYSM omgsh I was struggling 😩

[@patrycja8978]

You are AMAZING! :D

[@maggiedormer1208]

I’m finding your tutorials very instructive. The only issue I have is that when you are putting down a very light colour on your paper I really can’t see where you’re putting it, lol. Don’t know if anyone else has this problem or if it’s my eyes 👀

[@JustBaileey]

Hi, a little off topic from your video. Can I ask, what sharpener do find best works with your polychromos?. I have just bought some, but I heard they are hard to sharpen with a manual and therefore a helical is best?

[@GemmaChambersArt]

Helical all the way for Polychromos! I Highly recommend the Ikon Swordfish - I’d be lost without mine 😁

[@JustBaileey]

@@GemmaChambersArt aha, i literally had that in my basket and was hesitating, thank you for the quick response :)

[@karamarinas]

Is there any of your videos that shows tracing the subject?

[@GemmaChambersArt]

Hi! You could try this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWXGdHhqr9CSZ80 - it's not tracing as such but it shows the different methods I use to sketch my outlines.

[@karamarinas]

Thanks.

[@licentiousdreams]

Love the video. Also I don't care if you were to give me a 10 foot pencil, I will find a way to press too hard...
