I recently finished my first proper colored pencil piece commission, and it turned out fantastic. So, I want to say thank you for your videos. I know your advice has a lot to do with the progress I've made. Cheers!
Wonderful! That is so great to hear!!!
I am 43 years old. I can freehand anything my heart desires from my imagination or a reference for the sole reason that I have been practicing long. And I sure AS HELL trace! I just don't have the time to spend on my sketch, nor do I want to! For a lot of things I can just pop em out quick enough, but if I'm doing a portrait for someone that requires a perfect copy or some weird animal in some weird position I have never seen or drawn before, I trace it or use the grid method! Do whatever the heck you want! Don't listen to ANYONE that says if you trace you aren't a real artist. The old masters did it. There are literal pieces of art out there that are drawings an artist did while they were watching another artist do a portrait using an old fashioned grid reflector thingy!
Exactly! Da Vinci often used a camera obscura to project things onto his canvas for rough outlines. 😉
I didn’t start accepting commissions until I had gained enough confidence in my work and in myself, which didn’t happen until I attempted your techniques with odorless mineral spirits and then adapting my own techniques. Now, over two years later(!!!), I no longer blend with OMS but having done so greatly changed how I worked in layers. I created an 18x24” portrait as a surprise for a parent’s friend using OMS and then gradually used less and less in each picture following because I was happier and happier with my results. Thanks Lisa! ☺️
I miss watching your tutorial videos! You are still one of my favorite artist/ art teacher! thank you for these contents. :)
WOW. Thank you so much for the additional work to get us newbies more guidance. I think your confidence will grow with these extra tools to reference. I listen to your videos all the time trying to build up to putting the first line on the paper. Again thank you for having this channel and all your great advice. I did sign up on patron 😁
Your pronounciation of caput mortuum was spot on
WOOO! Thanks :D
I think this is one of my favourite videos so far I am not an artist, I am a pastry chef but always wanted to learn how to draw I noted some of your advice. Thank you sooo much :D
Hi from Finland! One tip that I heard and used with reference photos was to change the contrast and adjust the color saturation so that you detect the color that is really more than just black. It has improved my drawing and now I don't need to adjust anything in my picture and that tip was really helpful as a beginner. The "hiding" colors that I did'n notice at first when I started doing art with colored pencils comes automatically included to the drawings. :) Thank you for your videos and tips and tricks! I've found my love for art once again after being on inspiration block. :)
This is a helpful tutorial indeed for beginners. Much appreciated !
Aww…your chicken is adorable. As you can tell by my pic I have one of those screaming chickens. 😂❤️
This has to be one of my favorites you have done ❤, the colors, the subject, it speaks to me ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Aww! Sushi’s so cute! I’m looking forward to doing this but have a couple other projects to finish first. 😊
I can't wait to see the more advance version, it will be great to see what you do differently to step it up!
Thanks! I'm excited about it. :D
one of my recommendations is to hone your skills in coloring books, I've gone from zero skill to realism in just five years by practicing that way. Just make sure you're constantly pushing yourself to new levels, and you will make progress.
Also if you need to darken your yellows use brown or orange.
Just love this! Beautiful colours ❤️
Thank you!
I love your birds and your bird drawings too. Don’t forget about those Lyra pencils in making great backgrounds.
Wow, wonderful , thank you
thank you for your helpful tips
Love this one! Makes me itch to draw some birds again! (I have an exam coming up, so no time to draw atm, but I am looking forward to digging into my art tools again!) I love how the magentas really make the yellow pop. :) I'm curious to see the more advanced version in the future, sounds like a fun project idea and good learning experience to do both :D
Oh I love birds so much and you always do justice to their CUTENESS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank-you so much for sharing this Lisa, this is BEAUTIFUL!!! 👏👏 I don't even use coloured pencils in my art.. and I STILL wanted to watch this because I knew you would do a wonderful job 👍👍👏👏👏👏 Also your pet at the end was GOLD!!! TOOOO ADORABLE!!!!
Thank you so much!!
Very cute drawing!
My cat Simba freaked out when he heard Sushi screaming, lol.
THANK YOU HELPS A LOT I HAVE SOME OF BOTH.
Thanks Lisa, that was really helpful......my husband breeds Kakariki birds & wants me to draw one of them. I haven’t done many birds, I always feel a bit daunted by feathers.
Much appreciated....it’s beautiful ( as always) x
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing artwork and thanks for sharing this video dear 🥰🥰🥰wish all the best ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you :D
Yaasssss sun conure!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🐔🐔🐥
:D
What was the website you mentioned for royalty-free images? Thanks for the beautiful tutorial!
Hi, do you have a reccomendation for a sharpener for luminance pencils? Looking to get them nice and pointy without burning through the pencil too fast. The thicker sized pencil of luminance doesn't seem to work as well with regular sharpeners . Thanks 🙂
Lisa I 💜 your advice at the start of this video , art is for everyone, All Hail Queen Lisa 🙏
HAHA thanks!
Amazing and new videos are always fun. I am learning a lot here.👍💖🎁👍I always wish my friends success. May we grow together in the future...
Hi Lisa, thanks for another great tutorial. As an intermediate going into professional coloured pencil drawings, which packs would advise buying to incorporate the best waxy and oily pencils into my kit?
If you're looking for an all around balance of wax and oil based, I would go with the Derwent Lightfast. If you want more oil based, then the Faber-Castell Polychromos :)
I've never had a scream chicken, but I did have a Bellow Bird(Quaker Parakeet). Good Lord!!
Hi Lisa, I fail at sports too! Know why we do? Because of our better Fine Motor Coordination 😉
do you sometimes use the textured fixative and powder blender on arches watercolor paper as well?
No, it won't work on anything but sanded paper :)
Hi Lisa. Can you blend coloured pencil on top of water soluble graphite that has dried?😊
You can :)
@@Lachri Thanks very much Lisa. I began my coloured pencil journey with you and have learned so much from your videos. Didn’t have any confidence when I started but I now have an exhibition of my work running all this month and have been booked in for next year. I also have two commissions I’m working on and have branched out into other media. Without your help - I wouldn’t have got this far so thank you from the bottom of my heart - you’re a lovely lady!
WHY DO YOU USE MONA LISA MINERAL SPIRITS OVER GAMSOL? HOW LONG DO YOU WAIT BETWEEN LAYERS FOR IT TO DRY ?
Because Mona Lisa is waaay cheaper and they work exactly the same. I use the Mona Lisa for oil painting too so I like to buy it in larger quantities. The gamsol is suposed to be less toxic though so there's that. I'm not sure what actual studies were done to prove that. The dry time depends on your Temps, the type of paper you use and how much you used. It could be 3 minutes or 25. Hard to say there.
Thanks now I know why it seemed dull. Not enough layers!🤔
Colored pencils are not as easy as I thought it would be, I'm about to go back to just painting. I wish I had bought something besides Castle Arts pencils at first, I was so desperate for better pencils I went and bought a small box of Prismacolor pencils but still have trouble.🙃
It is one of the slowest medium to work with. It requires patience and time.
You want to hear something funny. I am a newbie. I brought some cool pencils. Well I thought they were color pencil. I have been playing with them. I read the boxes yesterday. It said they were water coloring pencils. I had no ideal. Well now I know before I buy anymore to read the back of the boxes
I've got problems with human anatomy, mostly faces. And I don't think I can learn with tracing! That is too easy... It doesn't help me to get proportions right.
When you do something correctly over and over you will more easily recognize when something is wrong. I've never worked with someone in over 20 years of teaching where this didn't help.
It takes a lot of patience and practice still, even with tracing. I recommend going slow and really paying attention as you trace. Ask yourself questions as you go. Look into the underlying skeleton and muscles too. Faces are one of the most difficult things as an artist to draw, so don't feel bad if it takes a while before you start seeing progress.
Tracing REALLY REALLY helped me to learn how to draw accurately! Tracing is a tool which TRAINS your eyes and brain.. just trust the process! Even if you print out the reference photo, then shade the back side of the paper, then trace over it, trust me, it will help you! I am a self-taught artist and I took my biggest steps when I used tracing as a learning tool! Good luck and keep going 💪💪❤️❤️
Humans are not my cup of tea either. When I do humans, I always get the eyes, nose and mouth wrong. And I haven't even started to colour humans in paint or coloured pencils yet so the skin tones and colour will be a hard lesson.
Really liked the drawing and the advice, thank you. Little hint though - you talk very quickly and some people have trouble understanding you.
Oh trust me, I'm aware I talk fast. It's just how my brain works. You get used to it. :D
I need a better word…. But…. WOW! 💜🦜
Thanks :D
Lisa: Idk why they're trying to pass they're issues to you
me: O H N O HATERS WONT LIKE THIS BUT WHO CARE HAHAHAHAHA
love ya
LOL
And YeS! My work looks like I’m doing it with my Feet 🦶😂😂😂😂😂😂
