    I LOVED this video. You’re so clear, perfect tone of voice, specific and gave us the specific tools that work well. There are many choices so your opinion and why was helpful. Thank you !!

    Great video, thanks! Forgive if it’s already in comments somewhere, but I’ve found a great way to get a nice smooth start before shading with the colored pencils is to begin with a base marker. Keep up the great work!

    Great video! It's so much easier to learn when you can see how it's done as opposed to reading!

    Christianne! This was a great video. I agree with one of the other comments that actually watching your video was helpful for my style of learning. I have to try some of these gems. Thanks for sharing this.

    Thanks so much! Your video was the most helpful piece of information I have come across. To actually see it being done helped more than just reading the steps and see still photos. So once again, thank you. Beautiful piece of work!

    I have a question...
    How can you draw with white?? What kind of pencil of pen works? Mine doesn't!!
    Thanks for sharing you wonderful work!

    Thanks for the video.. now I'm going to try to do a couple!

  • @PEPandpaper
    @PEPandpaper Před 8 lety +1

    Terrific - thank you, maybe the fact that Polychromos are oil based whereas Prismas are wax based accounts for the ease of blending, it seems that way to me as all the pencils I've used that are wax based will only layer so far before starting to 'catch' & go streaky. It's so helpful seeing this done on video.

    • @dropstitchknittr
      @dropstitchknittr  Před 8 lety

      +PEP - Paula Ponton Thank you! And I'm thinking you're right about that - the poloychromos definitely edge out over the prisma for layering and blending - at least for me :)

    Thanks Chris for sharing your experience, your gem looks great! I do have a question, your gem looks shiny. Is that achieved by the colours light to dark and shading or by the burnishing that you did? Thanks Sheila

    This is so helpful! Thank you, Christianne, for taking the time to show us. I'm new at colored pencils, and find that my hand gets really tired. My pencils are cheap, and it feels like I'm putting more wax than color on the paper. I also get little bits of wax that come off :(. Is this true for Faber-Castells and Prismacolors? Do you have a preference?

    • @dropstitchknittr
      @dropstitchknittr  Před 8 lety

      +Jennifer Sparrow Thank you for watching. I am really enjoying my Faber Castells a lot - I do have prisma color as well and they work very nicely. I think if you switch to a better pencil you might alleviate the hand fatique a bit. Also, what kind of paper are you using? You don't want a completely smooth paper, but you don't want a terribly bumpy one, so maybe if you have some Bristol Vellum or similar it might also help. Let me know how it goes!

    Thanks Chris. I sadly can't find my white gel pen at the moment so my gem is looking a little flat, but great tutorial

    • @dropstitchknittr
      @dropstitchknittr  Před 6 lety

      Sorry about the lost pen - hope it shows up - and thank YOU!

      +Christianne Gerstner, CZT I just watched it again and you have given me the confidence I need to try this tonight. Thank you again for making a simple video, without too much "stuff," focused on the basics for beginners like me. I hope I can become what you are inspiring me to be. Now I just need practice.

    • @dropstitchknittr

    your video has been very helpful. I've been having problems with applying the gel pen. it doesn't seem to flow well, and then when I add more, it scrapes off.

    • @dropstitchknittr
      @dropstitchknittr  Před 8 lety +1

      +Alice McCallum Thank you - if you notice in my video, I do mention that it does scrape off. I recommend using a light touch and trying different types of gel pens to see which one gives you the best effect.

    • @southeasterly

      yes, I did see that. I am using the Sakura Gelly Roll. will keep practicing. Thank you, again.
