You always do your animal eyes absolutely perfect and I love how real they look!! This is awesome again Karen and can't wait for the following vids. Thanks so much for sharing each and every step you take to achieve such brilliance ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Megan!! I do think the eyes are my favorite part. 😊 also, thank you for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment. ❤️❤️❤️
J’adore !!! Savez vous que vous pouvez utiliser un cutter céramique ou une gomme mono zéro pour faire toutes les brillances ? J’ai testé sur drafting film et c’est génial …je n’ai pas encore votre talent mais j’apprends et persévère 😉
Stunning,really enjoyed this.
Thank you Ellie!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm enjoying every one of them. Karen, you're an amazing artist and I can only hope I eventually get one-half as good as you. I'm working on this leopard now.
You are so sweet Brenda! Thank you very much! Have fun!!❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous 👌 love your work Karen 💜
Thank you so much Lynn!❤️❤️❤️
The more you do this the more amazing you are.
How kind of you sweetheart. Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Perfect
Thank you!!!❤️
Very nice. The black curves out a bit more under the eye but I know that it takes a lot of time a looking. I love to add a bit of indigo black on the lighted areas since it is practically complimentary. Your work looks wonderful. Not everyone takes to using the same substrate bI enjoy it also but it depends on how much blending is required and animals lend well to it along with Polychromos and Pablos with a touch of the more wax based. Lovely and I look forward to seeing it! Thank you!😊
Thank you Jennie!❤️
Hi Karen. Looking lovely 👍 what was the toothy paper you used under the film for texture please. Or could you suggest something else. Love your work. 🥰
Thank you! I just used a piece of textured cardstock from the scrapbook dept at the craft store. 😊
This is beautiful Karen, do you color on the drafting film? Maybe a give it a try, but have to learn a lot before I color fur like you.
Thank you Wiesje! Yes, I color right on the film. It’s a wonderful surface There are several tutorials here where I use it. ❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
This is beautiful Karen - did you also do the tiger as a lesson as well? I love how textured the hair is on it ;)
Thank you KR! No, unfortunately I did not. I’ll find something with that kind of textured fur and put in the que. ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Karen, love your tutorials......i would love to start with the cat on drafting film and then watched this!!!! Stunning. So I got th reference photo and cropped like you said, but is there a line art as well/ I could not find it.........Greetings from The Netherlands, Angelique
Hi Angelique! Thank you so much! Unfortunately I don’t have line art for this drawing. I would suggest you take a thin piece of paper (like printer paper) the size of your drafting film, and use a light box or window to trace the line art using the reference photo underneath. Then you can just place the line art behind the drafting film when drawing. Another option is to keep the cat facing right and trace the line art directly on the back of the film. That way when you flip it, the pencil marks are on the backside of the film. I often erase as needed, once I’ve completed an area. I hope that helps!❤️❤️❤️
@@ArtbyKarenValentine i can do that: i have a Wafer A3 lightbox luckily.....but first my right hand needs to ment.....
I loved watching you layer the different colors on top of each other and how realistic the fur looks! I may have to try it myself, though I am very intimidated by fur. Did you say that you printed the image on the back of the film? You mentioned an app, something like Da Vinci, is that what you used to reduce the image to outlines? I have to add that while your animal drawings are AMAZING, I do miss your videos on coloring pages.
Thank you Alexandra! The app is called davinci eye. I have a video on 4 ways to transfer your sketch to your surface. The app just hovers the reference photo over your paper and you sketch it right from there. I like to sketch right on the back of the film, but many people sketch onto a piece of paper and just put it behind the film.
I’m sorry about not doing coloring pages anymore. I’m not saying I never will again, but I’m just following my heart and this is where it’s leading me. ❤️❤️❤️
@@ArtbyKarenValentine Thanks bunches for explaining about the app! I missed that video. I'll look at it now.
Hi Karen. First, thank you for your comment regarding colours, mainly dark ones fading. When I first started, it drove me crazy when that happened, but none of the teachers mentioned it-of course, not knowing any better, I would use more and more pressure which only made things worse. I have not had that problem on drafting film because I have a much lighter touch now and erase way less. But, today, I could not get the second eyeof the leopard right, so it resorted to some heavy erasing. I though drafting fil was impervious to damage. I have had to start again be able no matter what I did after my aggressive erasing, the colour fading away before my eyes. I checked with a film guru, and discover that film does have touch and it damage by aggressive erasing which causes the colour to fade. Who knew?,
Oh that’s such a bummer! I still can’t figure out where the color “goes” as there is no tooth for it to sink down into as with some other papers. It’s been quite a while since I did a drafting film piece. I need to do one soon. I miss it!
Sorry about the sloppy keyboarding in the last half of the message. I accidentally sent it before I was finished proofreading.
@@Skibunny100 Not a problem! I read it just fine!😂
@@ArtbyKarenValentine It is OK. It has been a very enlightening day. We need to mess up everyone in a while to keep us humble. 😁 I don’ think anyone knows where it goes.
Every once in a while...sheesh, I need to work on my keyboarding skills
And, where can i find the tiger drawing? I love your work by the way :-)
Thank you! Unfortunately, I didn’t do the tiger for CZcams. Here is the link to the swatching and numbering video. czcams.com/video/rkrwdyKlyDQ/video.html
hi Karen, is the tiger drawing also a pixabay photo? i love the face
Unfortunately it’s not. It came from a site called freepik. I can’t remember if it’s a freebie or if it’s premium photo you need the license for.
Hi Karen…color pencil is a slow medium…but I have a feeling that it is a little faster on drafting film than on paper…is that true?
I definitely find that to be true Thea. There is no need to work so hard to fill the tooth of the paper. You can get to details right away. It’s my favorite surface for colored pencil. The Grafix .005 double matte is the way to go. 😊
Hi Karen. I just found you on CZcams. I would like to follow your tutorials, I cannot find the line drawing or the reference photo. Pls, advise.
Hi Shelley! All the links to reference photos, materials etc are always in the description box below the videos. The link is right up near the top. 😊
Hi, where can I get this reference photo or line drawing so that I can draw along?
Hey Melanie! The link is in the description box right below the video. 😊
@@ArtbyKarenValentine oh my! That was a blond moment. Got it. Thank you so much
What is Luminence pecils? What brand do you use?
Luminance are artist grade pencils by Caran D’ache. They are just the name of the line of pencils. Like polychromos are by Fabre Castell. 😊
Thankyou@@ArtbyKarenValentine
Where is the rest......?
It’s in the playlist drafting film + colored pencils.
Hej.
Kan jeg bruge paint-On.
Jeg er ny med farver.
Kommer fra Danmark
Hi Camilla. I’m sorry. I don’t know what paint-on is.
@@ArtbyKarenValentine det er helt okay 🙂
Karen, why do you tape the numbers to your pencils? You refer to them by name. How are you using the numbers? Storage? I like it anyway, as I have trouble reading the colour names and numbers on the pencils.
It’s my own storage system Bunny. I don’t like the numbering system on the pencils, so added my own. My swatch chart has the corresponding number. Now it’s super easy to find the color I want and put them all away where they belong in the case. There is a video showing how I swatch and number them. I’ll see if I can find it for you.
