For the ultimate in minimalist “on location” sketching, I love the 3.5 x 5.5 inch Moleskin Cahiers journal and a Blackwing Palomino pencil.

I love these water-soluble crayons. They work especially well for illustration and cartooning, where the goal is to achieve a look somewhere between drawing and watercolor.
8th Grade: Super easy way to draw a cartoon figure
zhlédnutí 27Před rokem
There are lots and lots of how to videos for drawing cartoon figures. This is one easy way. Start with a stick figure to show the action…keep it simple! (And keep your lines light so you can erase easily!) Next, “round out” the arms and legs and body. Think of the body parts as if they are cylinders…you can always “customize” as you go. Finally, add details: eyes, hair, clothes, etc. erase ligh...

How to make a grid drawing
zhlédnutí 41Před 2 lety
A short tutorial for Mr Anderson's 8th grade Art class What do you need? - a pencil and eraser - drawing paper with a grid pre-printed on it. (I'll give you this in class. The grid is MUCH lighter than the example in the tutorial video.) - a reference photograph with the grid superimposed over it. (We will have already created this in class. Your photo should be saved to your iPad before you st...

🤩Love this! ..Do More landscapes with these neo 2's ..please💜
Great demo, thanks Mark. Enjoying the explanation of the techniques involved ❤
Lovely little sketches. What type of pencil did you use? Are they done 'en plein air'? Thanks
@@kb8205 I mostly use a Blackwing Palomino pencil in a Moleskin Cahiers journal.
@@markanderson744 Thanks Mark!
Your drawings are so cool!
@@stufftongerdrewww thanks!
more with these materials😍Please💜
Soon, I promise! I’ve got a new school year starting up this next month.
inspired me to buy a little sketchbook again! thanks🌻
Thanks.
Thanks, love it, made me smile. I’m considering the Neocolor 2.
Thanks! I’m considering getting the Neocolor 2’s, so great demonstration.
I didn't see the link to this video in the blog post in my email and sent off a reply. Then found it on your blog. This is awesome Mark. Great sketch and quite a delight to see you using the Neo II.
good sharing
more of these please!
Awesome
Thank you for this! I just got my 84 color set!
It's so much fun to try out the NeoColor´s with your cartoon drawing! Thank you so much

this is so cool. feeling inspired to draw 100 (or maybe even 115) people this week. your figures are cool and so distinct
love the tutorial but man, that jiggly camera drove me nuts!! lol
Very poor sound
No worries. My eighth grade students have no complaints about the sound quality.
I was not being rude, just telling you that your sound quality is poor.
@@markanderson744 Cool, good for them. But the shaky camera is nauseating. Guess you won't take this feedback the right way either, but I'll mention it anyway.
I got neo 2 to water colors but they don’t layer well, as you layer up it removed the color as you try and blend it. I like them for like multi media journaling, but not as watercolors. I recently got some Daniel Smith water colors been loving them. $450 later and i still think they’re worth it lol. Love the drawing by the way and you explain well.
They shouldn’t reactivate if you allow them to dry before adding another layer. What kind of paper are you painting on? I suppose if it is a slick surface it might not work quite as well.
Love this! Thanks so much ... 💕
Very Nice
Loved the result and the technique, so different than most others’ approach. Could not stand the shaking camera, it was making me woozy.
Similar to gelatos, but more control with the pointier tip I’m thinking? Looks like it may work well in Bible Journaling.
Doing some shopping for materials and this was a big help. Thank you.
I like working a new color into the wet color and it's very exciting
Love the Caran d’Ache Neocolor 2’s. I have a nice set of about 25 or so (built mine up over time.) Actually, as I’m sure you know, virtually every color product CD makes (I’m talking their pro lines) is rated at the top ( pricey though they are.) I have found, depending on the paper, I guess, that once I put a dry mark on the paper and then wet it, that original mark will still be there, although lighter, and I usually don’t want that. The way I’ve seen to work around this is to wet the color before you start to paint with it, by wetting some shavings (and don’t throw away those shavings,)...using it like regular pan watercolors or putting your wet brush on the tip of color. Good review. Thanks!
My experience has been that each color reacts to hydration a little differently - they all change in hue and intensity, some pretty dramatically. Great stuff once one learns to anticipate what those changes are going to be. It's not unlike the evolution watercolor paint goes through as it dries, changing from one value to a more matte, and often lighter, value. What I like about CD is that the colors you see in a wet wash are often very close to the dry back.
Thank you for showing something 'grown up' with these but I'm still aggrieved about the loss of Derwent Artbars.
I'm not familiar with those. Tell me about them, please.
@@markanderson744 they are discontinued but were square edged water soluble pastels along the same lines as these but i prefer Derwent brand and their colour palette.
Thank you for explaining your reasoning for how you are painting as you go along and sharing your knowledge!
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Mark - "Thank you" for this extremely insightful video. As you can imagine, there's a lot of content creators our there. It's just a matter of finding one that "speaks" to you. I guess I've finally found a video that helps me understand "how" to use Caran d'Ache Neocolor II water-soluble pastels. I do hope you find the time to create more videos. In particular, I liked your methodical approach in how you explained various basic concepts. I also enjoyed your voice intonation, which I think is particularly important for this medium. I'll definitely subscribe in the hope to see more from you in the future.
thoughtdujour you are very welcome. I only post to CZcams infrequently, to be honest. Most of my videos are posted to a closed system for my students. We’ve got quite a lot of “beginner” content, and have been talking about a much more robust YT channel for my students as well as anyone that’s interested in sketching on location. Stay tuned!
Thx so much for sharing!
Could you please make another tutorial, with a different painting,with the neocolor pastels
Angelique Hogeboom Hi, Angelique. This demo really isn’t a finished painting...it was put together to demonstrate the very most basic characteristics of this medium. If you’d like to see of my finished illustrations, check out the image at flic.kr/p/2iEfMNe ...thanks for your interest. Perhaps I will add a video demo of a more finished piece.
I realise your channel is tailored to your students, but I would love to see you draw/paint a cat using these.
muskndusk Perhaps I will do that one of these days!
Very cool animation!
This was a great tutorial! Thanks.
I hope it was helpful. I find these handle much differently than, say, the oil pastels my students use. They are not my every day media, but I do like to use them when I'm bored with watercolor.
@@markanderson744 I am very much a beginner so these seem like a good place to experiment and test my interest.
Thank you for showing how you use these. I never thought about letting them dry and layering so my results haven't been as I had hoped and I packed them away. Time to try again! And how about seeing your cat =^..^= Cats and art go together, eh?
ooman56 I’m a little fortunate she didn’t jump right in the middle of the demo sketch. 😁
My cat tries to walk across the drawing table every time I record something!
Whatever it is about I like it.
