I'm a complete beginner, just bought me a set of colour pencils. I copied your beetle tutorial and am thoroughly impressed with the result. Thanks so much!!! Great tutorial!!
YOU ARE AMAZING! I never would have imagined you could create this golden metallic beetle this way! I have been hoping to find a tutorial that would show the process, thank you so much! I'm subscribing tonight!
Fadil I love your tutorials! They are easy to understand and follow and you have a relaxing voice. I also like that you clearly list everything needed.
At the end of the video with the shadow shavings how many people blew on their screen, I did guilty 🤣very talented and beautiful work thank you I love it
Until the baby oil blending I thought 'Yeah. Right. Ha. Ha.' But all of a sudden - that thing started shining, and when you finally added the shadows I had to pick up by lower jaw from the floor. Wow! This is amazing!
amelia garner, self righteous wanna be critics say things like this when they can't even draw a stick figure. Always best to leave positive comments than negative. I totally agree with you. This was a great tutorial and it is very helpful. Not flat at all. The person that said that probably has flat eyes.
The thumbnail looks perfect where as the bigger and more detailed the image the flatter it became. Though gold presents hard edges within these color patches you still have a gradient produced by light and shades of a 3D form. You can improve this image by introducing a little light and shadow.
I just bought a box of Prismacolor Premier, waiting them to arrive. Your videos will be of great help for me to understand how to use them at best. I am really grateful for what you do, thank you!
Thank you so much this helped me draw the gold sections in my first poster drawing. Its one of my most nostalgiac posters in my room and now i have a lot of them
That's amazing!!! I'm a beginner and I'm just starting back again after not doing anything for over a year. I need to work on basics, but the first drawing I plan to do has a root beer color, so this helped a bit with the colors used. I know my colors will vary some because I'm doing shiny gold. But this is a great tutorial! I just hope I can pull off the desired color I'm going for. Thank you for the video!
THANK YOU for this! I tried drawing metallic things with no reference and it looked weird! The color picker idea is spot on! (I need red for example for a recent project) This video helped me so much!
Wow! You are a wizard with pencils !!! Amazing! And you are a great tutor! And a great artist!! Thank you for sharing your tips and drawings. You are awesome! : )
It's a really good tip to pick colors before starting, with the help of photoshop. Could you please make a quick-tip-video were you show it on an example. Maybe the Skull. I have never used such a program for assistance and it would be really interessting for me as a beginner. Especially which colors you pick. Because I saw so many colors on the skull pic and you've choosen only a few. It's difficult for me and I would be very thankful to see this in another video. Thank you!
This is one incredible drawing!! You should be proud! The beetle really does just come to life in front of your eyes and quickly looks 3D. I know I will most likely get every person and their mother biting my ear off for having an opinion. It is meant as constructive criticism and in NO way, shape or form am I trying to be mean, nasty, stuck up or any other insult people can come up with. Just 1 tiny little detail I felt let down the picture and that was the shadowing. Done in the right places however, it wasn’t blended in with pencil blend, or in your case, baby oil. Just looked a tiny bit strange having this incredibly realistic looking gold beetle and a grainy shadow. Keep up the absolute amazing work!! Love it! 💜
Very informative. Thanks. Try setting up with the light source on your left so we can see properly next time. Your hand creates a shadow that obscures the finer details as it happens.
Thank you for your great tutorial on drawing metallic items with colored pencils. I did the drawing and it turned out beautifully considering it is only the 4th drawing I've done with colored pencils in about 40 years. I've watched a number of artists use the Prismacolor pencils but so far you are still my go-to guy for fully understanding the best ways to use the pencils to get the best results. It took me a couple of episodes, to understand what you were saying, but I was able to quickly get used to your accent by watching the closed captioning while listening to you. Now I don't need the closed captioning and I am going through as many of your tutorials as I can each day. I feel like I am once again in art school and I'm having a great time learning all the new techniques and materials that have been developed in the last couple of decades. Thanks again for taking the time to make these tutorials.
This is very good, but how do I know where to apply the dark/light areas on something other than this beetle 🪲 and something that I don't have a reference picture for? Like an object or the inside of a clock tower in a colouring book?
I can't possibly imagine why 100 people could give this excellent instructional video a thumbs down. This is genuinely excellent from start to finish.
maybe they liked it upside down
Totally agree !
I think they're jealous. Notice the Debbie Downers never comment their reason why! Jealous.
They most likely couldn't do it right
Coz they can't draw

Thank you again for another one of your wonderful tutorials :) I have always wanted to see someone create gold with coloured pencils on a video.
its my pleasure :)
Wow, that looks like gold. It came out beautifully. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes I wouldn’t believe it.
Excellent!
At the end of the video with the shadow shavings how many people blew on their screen, I did guilty 🤣very talented and beautiful work thank you I love it
😂 thank you
Thank you - I have been struggling with drawing/painting reflective surfaces and this really helps! Off to explore some of your other videos.
+Shoshi Platypus Thank you so much 😀
Thank you so much for these incredible tips... so many in one video I really enjoyed watching you ! Thanks again
Until the baby oil blending I thought 'Yeah. Right. Ha. Ha.'
But all of a sudden - that thing started shining, and when you finally added the shadows I had to pick up by lower jaw from the floor. Wow! This is amazing!
you deserve WAY more subscribers! I like how you're mentioning the colours and materials you used.
thank you so much :)
That's really cool how it comes together like that.
Baby oil is about to be my new best friend! thank you for this video!
I use baby oil for cleaning cooker
@@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook who needs to know that? Lol
You are really talented; thank you for sharing your techniques!
How anyone can say this looks flat I don't know, it's great, I wish I could get a gold effect like this, thanks for sharing, love it.

@@ScaryFear Lol flat eyes, but yeah your right they must have.
@@MsAmelia1957 Glad you liked it.
Amazing how this came together
Very good instructional video!
Absolutely superb sir.

Fantastic video. One of the best on this topic. Thanks for sharing.
It's insane how great this looks. You are amazing.
Love your excellent tip about using photoshop to identify colors to aid in selecting your color pencil palette. ❤️🙏
I just bought a box of Prismacolor Premier, waiting them to arrive.
Your videos will be of great help for me to understand how to use them at best. I am really grateful for what you do, thank you!
Hi, I liked this object
Thanks for the process and basic knowledge about this.
Awesome. You are a great teacher.
+Eloisa Pazos Nieto thank you :)
I tried to use gold coloured pencils and it didn’t look right!!! Your way is 100% better❗️Thanks for the help 😃
Thank you so much-this was a really helpful video,I will certainly watch more.
This is absolutely amazing! Wow! Thank you for sharing your technique and talent!
Loving this, it's so nice to have someone explain their process. I have spent many hours wondering how some processes are done in a range of media.
Stunning
+TheMargaretfletcher Thank you :)

Yea they are almost useless. Thank you :)
That is astonishing! Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you :)
You do a great job teaching - nice work
I never thought of using baby oil! I have used odorless mineral spirits but it needs many layers first or the "grain" will still show.
Great!!! And tanks for the tip of this kind of airbrush way!
Amazing. It just comes to life.
+Sue Wilkinson Thank you :)

Golden Beatle that sounds like a football team name.
Random dude: And who won the game last night
Me: The Golden Beatles, but it was a close game.
Fantastic lesson, Thank you!

Well this is a bit too advanced for me but it was really good so I think I'll just tuck it away in a saved folder for later. Thanks!

You can use the baby oil on the Bristol as well without distorting the paper?
This is an awesome video. Do you also color bronze statue with the teal patina on it?
Really amazing! It looks so realistic! Great!
thank you so much :)
This was beautifully done🙌👌
nice colors bro like your drawings
thank you :)
Wow...thank you!

Impressionante. Parabéns.
Ficou maravilhoso 😍👏
Wow, this is amazing
wow! you're very talented!
Omg sooo beautiful 😱
