    Being a colour blind artist, the labeling of the colors in this video is very helpful and appreciated.

      TheSourceOfTheNile Actually, I think if a color blind person makes art the way they see it can make for cool art.

      I think that you can just name the colors that you use, or use the glasess for those with deltonism

      Being colorblind might actually be kinda cool whilst coloring, I think that the different colors might be kinda cool depending on how you use em

      Oof that's not a good idea lol
      I do that too though but I'm not trying to be professional
      If anyone seeing this uses their finger that's not a good idea because the oil on your fingers Will get on the paper and it won't blend as well so if you don't have any good blending materials you could use a white colored pencil or a tissue

    Oh my god! This video seriously helped so much. I seriously didn't expect to be able to make such a realistic eye! But i went step by step and was able to take the time to really blend and layer/build up colors.

    • @taylors5981
      @taylors5981 Před 7 lety +1

      Of course it doesn't look as good as the one in the video but only because i don't practice drawing as much as i should and normally don't use colored pencils often usually just graphite so the fact that it came out so good surprised me. It is rare to find such a helpful drawing video on here since most of the time the person speeds up the footage so it is hard to see what they're doing but this is great!

    @TheJimbojon Před 8 lety +6

    Thanks. What a great tutorial. Instructions all so fluent and well organized. I find it really hard though, how you create something, then seem destroy it with the next addition and then spread the colour, and then again at some later point reconstruct it. Yet all of these steps are so important. Hope to gain the gist with practice. Thanks so much!!

  • @vanilaa7564
    @vanilaa7564 Před rokem

    I’m honestly so glad to know that other people seemed to get nervous when drawing on the eyelashes. I’ve done before but never in colored pencil. I have work around if I mess up using graphite, and if I’m doing them digitally it’s pretty simple to re-do them.

I now have my very own realistic eye all thanks to your video. May others see how well your skills are as i have.:-)

  • @oliferous
    @oliferous Před 2 lety

    I have ZERO experience with colored pencils and have always kind of written them off as a tool for doodling or given to kids with coloring books, basically never taken them as a serious medium. So unfortunate for me!! I snagged a large bag of the same prismacolor you’re using here at a thrift store ( about 60-70 brand new!!) for $4.99!! I was also unaware of what their value was and almost walked away from it! So glad I snatched them up… I love em!! In fact, I’m only missing the light peach out of the colors you were using in this video but I have a peach that should work just fine, I believe, with the right amount of pressure and blunting. I had no idea that you could blend these and buttery they are! Absolutely amazing and I now I am curious as to other brands that are popular with colored pencil artists. I’m really enjoying them, I love so many aspects they offer, I really am kicking myself for not taking them seriously for this long! But here, at least I didn’t totally miss out on them and I am enjoying the hell out of them now! Do you have any suggestions for paper? I am primarily a watercolor artist so I have a variety of types, thicknesses, and textures at my disposal currently and really haven’t settled on any single type yet. Any advice would be greatly excepted! Thank you for the great video, from this one and I’ve learned quite a bit! Also, if I don’t have a blender yet, do you have any other suggestions that would be similar? I haven’t fully looked into exactly what a blender is but I am assuming that it is just a clear waxy, buttery burnishing type tool? 🤘💪

    So I am a experienced graphite artist and I am just breaking into color, would a blending stump be okay to be used as a substitute to the colorless blender?

    • @thevirtualinstructor
      @thevirtualinstructor  Před 9 lety +18

      Brian Weiser Hi Brian, you probably should stick with the colorless blender. Since the blender has the binder in it, it will perform better. The blending stump is likely to not move the pigment at all. I used a white pencil for burnishing for years before using a colorless blender. The white will affect the value a bit but still does a decent job at burnishing the color.

    wow, I'm just 13 years old, my aunt came from Pakistan and showed me how to draw eyes since she took fine arts in college. I use her techniques but they were way too hard to master and need time to master. I tried your way and everything came out perfectly. it doesn't look exactly the same, but very similar. this video helped a lot! you don't even need prisma colors, u can use polychromos which I am using (expensive too). i just need a little more practice on the outside of the iris, it is quite tough for me to make the white part look real.great video, keep it up. definitely liked and suscribed.

    Always go from light to dark, meaning color with light colors and then slowly add the darker colors once they are solid.
