Ohhh goddd finally .... A youtuber who actually reveals her methods and all to help us!!! Others are like " just believe in yourself" "practice" but never tell what we are doing wrong or what can we do better...luv ya!!!!
and be my patron to get the full video LOL
Yes, you can be sure.
@@garthok6224 yass..
That's what I like about watching Bob Ross as well. He explains the colors and techniques he is doing instead of us just watching him paint with a music piece playing instead of dialogue.
@@CeltycSparrow oh yeah...his titanium "hwhite" and happy little trees....classic...
I use a mirror to gain perspective and spot mistakes.
Your the person who inspired me to draw more to the point my bedroom is turning into my art studio
Absolutely love it. If I had had an art teacher like you in school I definitely would not have ended up hating it so much and would actually have learned something and found my passion for creativity much sooner. Thank You!
Bro just said “fuck it, this shit hits but here’s my complaints about life”
Thank you for the polychromos idea! And the stick eraser tip. YOUR AN ANGEL! ♡
I believe I'm addicted to this channel.
Me too 🕗
😂😂
This woman is multi talented. Really informative youtuber, fab artist and top teacher! 🎨❤️
You're making videos Sooo quickly! WOWWWW !
I especially love the charcoal powder/paintbrush technique. I'm also eager to try the black colored pencil for those deeper darks. Thank you!
Girl you are amazing! I've been on the front page of the paper like three times.And you cold literally draw circles around me! I stopped doing art years ago,after someone broke into my cabin and stole all of my art supplies,air brushes, oils..well everything! So thousands! That and I was about the same time in a horrible accident that broke my back! So was a bit jaded for sometime! But after watching you late last night I thought it's time to get back to it! It was something I did that I really enjoyed! So thank you for sharing your wonderful art! Instant follower from me! God bless you! I shouldn't have let the thieves still some of my joy too! XO
Dear Kirsty, You always encourage me to draw more and more.
I like that flipping the drawing idea, I know sometimes I just get too zoned out looking at the drawing and I go detail blind... flipping a photo of it might help me out with this.
I love my tombow mono eraser too, it's so versatile and you can use it with many mediums. I also like the hack of using your pencils to help with drawing proportions, I do that a lot too. I enjoy watching these types of videos as you never what technique you might learn that's really helpful :)
My favorites also. Learned a lot. Thanks so much.
Dear Kirsty Ma'am
Thank you so much for uploading so many helpful tutorials on how to use colour pencils as a medium ..
Ur videos have inspired me to finally try the medium .
Thanks again ma'am 🙏
I just love how she goes right to the point
Finally. A clear tutorials. I also loved to use mixed medium.
I'm an artist for 14 years and this is the first time I've known about this hacks thank you so much 💕
Wow,Awesome I like the tombow mono eraser hack.
That black coloured pencil tip is gold! I'm literally working on a drawing right now that requires a lot of darkness in the background and I was just gonna use my 8B because I hate charcoal, it's too messy, or I'm too careless with it. But I'm gonna get a black coloured pencil and see how that works. Thanks, Kirsty!
I read your comments on using black pencils, and may I suggest you also try a particularly amazing pencil from Derwent - the "Onyx". It is quite honestly the blackest pencil I have ever used and it's not charcoal.
They come individually for between £2.75p to £3.25p, or for a blister pack of 2, it's between £5.50p upto £6.25, depending where you buy it from, so shop around. It creates really intense, dark colour, lays down so smoothly and easily, and can sharpen to a really decent point if needed. I use it mainly for monochrome drawings of animals, as it is perfect for drawing hair and fur especially. I hope you don't mind me suggesting you try this.
@@pebblesthecat3625 Thanks, I'll give it a try!
I`d love to see someone go over how to get a nice shiny effect when coloring cars.
Getting that reflective shiny look, I struggle so much to understand it.
If anyone in the comments have any advice, I`d be very thankful☺️
Reflective surfaces have high contrast. I would find images that have the effect you're looking for and note the value differences. Note the level of contrast overall, in the areas by the reflection, the size of the areas, etc. You could even turn images to grayscale to focus just on the value, though such conversions aren't perfect.
So this may not be the type of shine you are meaning, but lets say its a bright red 🚗… for the shiny areas i would go to lightest red (pink)there is, so depending on the red pencil, the pink you use is important… i have a giant cup of reds from every brand and every version of red including the pinks that match tone wise… theres a pink white out from caran de ache its helpful with reds…also when you are doing shiny or highlight sections try burnishing or blending some areas with a white pencil and or colorless blender to practice effects… and another one you take a photo with your phone of your drawing then go to effects, push grey scale, this helps see the areas you need to work on more…hope this helps… oh forgot one…when im super lazy i just use my highlight pens, they are in most art supply stores, you can buy different shades to, but this is more of a finishing affect even after completing your pencil work for pop….
I really appreciate you giving out other alternatives that actually work, thanks a lot
Thank you so much Kirsty for this amazing video that's gonna help me with all that i keep struggling everytime and since I don't go to any art school, I really have a tough time trying to figure out where I went wrong and where I should improve.... And honestly, my drawings have developed so much after seeing your videos and I'm so glad I found your channel...all the love for you
Thank You
Kirsty ur drawing techniques and hacks helped me a lot and now I m making portraits even better.
I am watching this two years later but glad it came up for me to watch! I really like the skinny pen-like eraser, I am going to get one of those. Thank you so much for showing us how to use that and many other techniques. 😊
I’m just getting started again & I’m glad I came across this. I’m struggling with detail & depth but have a hodgepodge of everything.
Soft pastel: I struggle with fine details. Colored pencils: struggle with depth & blending them well. Now I can’t wait to mix my mediums together & see what I can do. Each one has strengths & weaknesses. I can’t wait to try out all your tips
Thank you Kirsty. That was the finest collection of absolutely exceptional and essential tips for drawing with pencil that I’ve seen in my 61 years. There were points in your presentation that I was already aware of as a watercolour and oil artist fumbling along for many a year now, but I learned so many vital and important tips that are going to revolutionise and massively and positively impact my art that I am quite pleasantly astounded. Just as important as listening to the your lovely and soothing voice and the important information that you conveyed, watching your hands as they moved across the paper, how you so deftly jut touched and caressed the graphite away when doing the light strands, and laying in the darker tones with the coloured pencil, wow, again, I learned so much about the actual technique by just watching your hands work so easily and so brilliantly. I’ll leave it there for you but really wanted to say thank you and share my hope for your best as you’ve inspired and taught me an incredible amount this morning as I had my breakfast here in Sydney, brilliant girl, thank you so much 😎👍
This is beyond talent and I just want to say that you're my inspiration in continuing my passion in art and I hope that my channel would be successful like yours
Thank you mam for sharing your tips and tricks ,you are my inspiration ☺️☺️☺️
Kirsty has somehow managed to persuade me to buy a ton of pencils and paper -way more than I actually need 🤣 we love u
Mrs. Kristi, thank you for the drawing lessons
Thanks so much for sharing the tips that save time. My biggest struggle as a mom is finding time for my own interests while also applying my best ability
Pragya : Kirsty thank you so much for all your tips and tutorials :) It helped me a lot to be improved at my art ....
Btw loads of love from India 🇮🇳
Hi
Me and my friends really like your content. I hope you wouldn't stop posting.
Thank you darling more hacks please 💜👍🏼👏🏻🎨
These methods are fantastic!! Thank you for sharing.
Years ago I learned to take a drawing or painting to a mirror if I felt like something was off. Taking pictures works of course but a mirror is pretty fast too
As someone who does more anime-ish drawings (I do a lot of anime work), but I want to get a lot better with shading and all that, and eventually getting to art similar to that in Fullmetal Alchemist, or the comic book version of Maximum Ride when I do sketch pieces alone... I find this to be incredibly helpful! I'm glad I found this video!
I'm sharing this to my fellow artists who are my only irl friends lmao.
You really are a wonderful lady to share all these tips with us mortals. Many thanks.
Great hacks my love, you're a joy to watch, good advice 👍xxxx
Hello! Please can you make more graphite tutorials?
Extra ordinary work... With magical hands
I can't wait to see if I get in your class this time!!!!!
Something I just learned is that they have matte pencils sets!! So that way when you use the graphite penciles, whichever shade pencil you need they're all matte and not shiny whatsoever.
I love the idea of the stick eraser. I have some large white erasers but not the stick kind. Thanks!
Thanks for those tips. I really hate getting messy with charcoal, smudging etc and have just ordered a black and a white polychromos pencils. I love my tombo eraser, I think it's one of the best products ever invented.
This young lady Kirsty is a magical woman. She is more best teacher than an artist. I love her way of telling the details . May she live long and long enough to make artist of her kind in thousands
Your vedio inspired me to draw with colour pencils thank you
I'm excited to use the pastel/color pencil one most
I was doing most of these techniques 20 years ago! Really good for newbies but it's old school and nothing new to most old school artists!
Even when you know most of the tips, that one new technique that is revealed can be a mental goldmine! Thank you for sharing. Brilliant that you could have retired off a modeling career alone, had you wished, and that you instead chose to pursue adding art to the world! Your talent speaks for itself.
I love that nowadays you upload often
I always click pics of my drawings and like this helps me alot ...like ALOT seriously ....and thx for other tips I try these tips on my drawings and sometimes they work sometimes they don't but yeah ...anyways thank you very much and please keep helping us small artist ❤️❤️❤️
Artists just amaze me.The thing that still amazes me to this day was a very young artist i knew back in grade school.That young child never took any art lessons or had anyone training or teaching him he simply loved to draw and did it all the time as he was a sort of lonely person with no real friends.
This "GRID METHOD"really explains why so many of these type of life like artists work seems to have such accurate edges/proportions.
Yess more drawing hacks!
Thank You So Much, As An Artist I am Always Looking For an Edge And You Have Surpassed My Wildest Expectations.
I am Your # 1 Fan as You Are The Bad-Assed Queen Of The "Tube" Artists And My Favorite Site ~
Love You and Your Work, Sweetie ~
i always do that tissue trick with my graphite drawings! 💖
Super!!! Thank you so much!!! Love and kisses from the Netherlands
The charcoal method blew my mind
Finally!! Hacks that I can actually use!! Kristy, you're on my radar now & I'll be following your videos. As a retired teacher, I can well appreciate the time you take to teach us & I for one, am greatly appreciative. I'm also a professional portrait artist (oils), but I've been drawing for years & want to switch to colored pencils....I think. Anyway, thank you so much for the valuable info!!
I wish I had her as my art teacher
Just your your work😊
She infact is an art lover and not a CZcams viewership seeker. Such people are rare. Her work is matchless and will remain
Thanks, Kirsty!
Wow. I never knew it so it was really helpful. Thank you
Pretty early for this......you are no doubt my favourite illustrator
You can also use the proportional divider as a measuring tool and it's available on Amazon
Oh my gosh! In this one video you’ve shown me how to use so many of the art supplies I own in practical, straightforward ways! AMAZING!!! I love watching you work - you make it look so….well…..DO-able! This is incredible inspiration on the days I start to feel like giving up! Thank you!!!
Actually, Mark Crilley wrote "The Two-Pencil Method", a whole book about combining a graphite pencil and a black colour pencil. I found it really good.
Omg I've been watching help videos for drawing for yeaaars now, even had it in school and it was still so freaking hard for me to do the shadow work.... Thank you so much! You've made me a better artist instantly! Please keep it up! This is lovely x
Wow this pan pastel hack is key to coloured pencil drawing . I usually do graphite or coloured pencil drawings on Saturday with my kids. Thank you misss patridge for these beautiful tips they are so helpful and beginner deiendly. 👍😘
Hi mam... U r my biggest inspiration ever.I really learned lot of things from u... Please do some more tulorials. Really mam I am your biggest fan😇. Love from India🇮🇳
Hi Kirsty, for hack #1 what kind of pastel paper do you recommend for a pan pastel base with coloring pencils?
A good hack is petroleum jelly. Dip your color pencils into it and it dissolves the pencil lead. Cheap pencils are just fine and the colors are incredible with very little pressure. But don’t forget to remove the jelly or the lead tip will dissolve overnight.
I'm really looking for this tricks, thank you Kirsty
Kristi, let me love your hair, it's so beautiful
Save, here in Brazil! Kirsty your drawings and videos are amazing I don't even know what to tell you , from heart, love your channel S22222 Your techniques help a lot, thx S22 I've been with you since forever, and so far you've been helping a lot, I hope you get a lot more subscribers!
I use Staedtler Mars lumograph pencils it goes on matte.
These are great! A bunch of these I use on the regular; hadn’t really thought about until mentioned. Also a huge fan of tombow mono erasers; both the round and the square
Thank you! I'm so excited to try all of these tips! Yayyyyy!!! 😃💕
WOW... You are an incredible artist Kirsty! Beautiful work!
Amazing video I really learn it my favourite hack is Hack no 4
Must have pencil for graphite drawing
She is my inspire artist
Thanks for sharing, I’ve been using many of these tips myself for years and teaching them to my students. I love when artists share their processes, keep it up 🍻
Ty Kirsty ❤️🤩
I use eye make up brushes for charcoal and pecil drawings. They are very soft and special for "powder".
Thanks for such great ideas!
Amazing! Thank you so much for these tips!
This was very helpful. I will try pencil drawing some day. Thank you for the info.
I will use most of them!!!
Art class makes me sleepy!!! 🤣😂
Thank you! That was excellent. I am most excited to try my graphite and charcoal powder with a brush. I did a drawing over the past few days and that would’ve solved a lot of my problems.
Perfect hoo. kirsty woww so amazing ...
God I wish I can draw half as good or even a fourth as good as you draw. I love your videos they are so inspiring and I also love your accent. But your work is phenomenally amazing. I keep practicing I’m not sure if I’ll ever get to your level but I am self taught and I am 62 going on 63 years old. Drawing helps to relax me and my goal is to draw pictures of my grandkids with their parents. They keep telling me when I get better at drawing then I can try drying them. But I keep trying to drum off a photo reference which is a lot harder to do than with somebody in front of you. Thank you so much for your inspiration, your knowledge and expertise and for showing and explaining how to accomplish so much more with your drawings. Keep giving us CZcamsrs your awesome videos. Once again thank you
First technic😍😍😍
I just came across a set of felt tip pins that came in various point sizings. From .050 to 3.5. This will absolutely help with my pointillism drawings.. my only regret was not finding them earlier.
Great tips as usual. Thanks for sharing Kirsty
AMAZINGLY informative. Keep sharing. You are so talented!
Thank you so much for this tricks i will share in our art group😁🤗
I think that'll be great, just as white is for bright areas.
I am so glad that this was in my recommendation. Your tips and tricks is what I needed for my graphite and charcoal portraits.
This is really lovely..... Thank you for adding value to the public.
Beautiful work, and well taught tips. Thank you
