    QOTD: Do you struggle with making your drawings pop?

  • @RoseThistleArtworks
    @RoseThistleArtworks Před 5 lety +169

    I always dislike doing backgrounds because I didn't want to get all detailed about background stuff and now I can see from your video, that is great! It's not supposed to be detailed! You have such a way of teaching and showing examples that is very easy to digest and understand. Thank you so much for all these tips and examples, Kirsty! Also, those flower drawings turned out beautiful, better than a black and white photo, in my opinion.

      You can simply use abstract strokes in the background and will give you similar results.

    Back in highschool/college I did a lot of drawing. Especially on those cold winter days. My senior year of college, I had the time and opportunity to take a drawing class. I finished the class and did well, but the teacher took the fun and inspiration out of me to do what brought me a little piece of happiness. I graduated and the bills piled up and the income didn't and I spiraled into despair. 4 years ago I made a huge decision and moved to the Rocky Mountains of CO. In the recent past I've found myself browsing pencils and charcoal again. Yesterday I caught myself in the middle of drawing a rose and thinking about shading again for absolutely no reason!! It made me happy. Then completely randomly, your video pops up! It's been 20 years since I graduated college. Just maybe that inspiration and light is growing again. 🌹

      I realize I'm such a perfectionist and get distracted so easily that I never started but a friend posted a self-portrait she sketched yesterday and it made me want to try again. Pencil and paper were my most comfortable mediums.

    I´m only at the beginning of the video, but I just wanted to let you know there is a type of graphite pencil for artists that don´t shine that badly.
    The Steadler Mars Lumograph. It is really great and even if they start from B you don´t have to sharpen them too often. I can really recommend trying them out :)
    The video is super informative! Great job!

    • @KirstyPartridgeArt
      @KirstyPartridgeArt  Před 5 lety +13

      Thanks for the recommendation! I will have to give them a try 😊💕

    • @wickedillusionart
      @wickedillusionart Před 5 lety +11

      Kirsty Partridge Art Make sure to buy Mars Lumograph black if you want mat look. The "blue" Mars Lumograph 7/8B pencils no longer have carbon mixed in, unless you got some from the old batch (you can tell by the look), so wouldn't recommend online shopping. Wasted my money recently, got regular 8Bs.

    • @KirstyPartridgeArt

    • @ginasartcorner5686
      @ginasartcorner5686 Před 5 lety +3

      Good that you wrote that! Totally forgot to write the black behind it, so thank you :) Yeah the regular blue ones are still shiny and really soft. Gladly got the black ones.

    I have subscribed to so many CZcams art channels, and I was referred to your channel from a member of an art group on Facebook. I have all notifications on for your page and I plan on joining your patreon and other offerings. You explain things so thoroughly, and your voice is so pleasant. I have taken so many of your suggestions on buying supplies and products. You are truly taking my self taught art to a whole new level and making me enjoy this craft so much more by going into it much more prepared and knowledgeable. THANK YOU KIRSTY!!! 🥰 Art is a main form of therapy for me anx helps my mental status during a very difficult time for me. God bless you for what you are doing.

  • @DavidWilson-me6bs
    @DavidWilson-me6bs Před 5 lety +25

    Great tutorial. I have always thought that I could improve my graphite drawings by using higher 'B' grade pencils but never gone higher than 2B. Now watching this video, I can achieve a higher level by using the tips seen here. I have only used my 6 and 7B for image transferring! I liked the tips on Blurring the background to bring the main subject forward. Thank you for sharing.

    • @KirstyPartridgeArt
      @KirstyPartridgeArt  Před 5 lety +3

      I’m glad you like the tips. The higher you go in grade the more shine the pencil will have and that is why I opt for charcoal instead. Carbon pencils are great for no shine as well. I hope you enjoy working with some of the darker pencils 😊

  • @xtralionusone4644

    Thanks so much! You made one of my pieces so much stronger by explaining focal points. I went to art school and never learned about focal points and the importance of them. I've learned about forground, midground, background but never focal points so thank you so so much!

  • @kylaebersole2752

    I am currently in the middle of a lioness painting and while it's drying I decided to watch one of your videos, and this one popped up. I was at 5:45 and had to do a double take! I was like, "she already painted it!" I guess great minds think alike! Also, amazing art and keep making videos! :)

  • @glennmcdaniel7812

    You are right about the values and darks!
    I actually love when people do not always blend. I am an artist and I know professionals that are masters who not always blend in their gorgeous sketches. I think blending and not blending are both cool techniques.
