5 Fun and Easy Do's and Don'ts of Colour Selection

This is the 1st video of yours I’ve seen. It was a no-brainer to subscribe because your teaching method is so clear & easy to understand. Due to Covid & life circumstances I stopped drawing for about 3 years. I’m starting again now & trying to get back to my first love, coloured pencil. I was looking for motivation & inspiration. You have provided that and I look forward to watching many more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge.

Love your videos ❤ thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and time. it's greatly appreciated 🙏

Thank you for this wonderful lesson! You are a gifted teacher in the simple way you explain things!

Omg what a BRILLIANT TUTORIAL!! I am completly im love ❤ please much much more of it!

Wow so much to learn about colored pencil colors. I use to use Oil paint as a medium. I was awesome at mixing colors to get the color i wanted. But now moving over to colored pencils i have to learn all over again. Thanks for the advice and sharing your talents on youtube.

I actually made the effort and watched the video VERY OFTEN to really find (almost) all the colored pencils in the right order. Should I write the names of the colors and their brand in a comment so you can mark it afterwards? So that the followers of your channel who are interested don't have to do this extra work and can easily read the colors and order of the colored pencils here? Of course, I completely understand you and the decision is of course only in your hands - but there are some Youtubers who do tutorials in such a way that, for example, they always show the name or at least the number of the pen in the top corner of the video - or also in the video description. And I personally, but I think many others too, love that! Because then you have the CHOICE - you don't have to do it like the YouTuber, but if you want the picture to look the same or if you still feel a little unsure about the color choice, you CAN. However, if you decide to do something different with your videos, then I would wholeheartedly ask for something if it were possible. Because I love your tutorials and am a big fan of your art and color choices and regularly draw tutorials from you. It would be great if you could hold each pen in your hand for at least a second while drawing so that you can see the color name in the video! (-that's how I managed to assign all the pens in this tutorial - well, except for two, for which it was unfortunately simply impossible to read the color name) Because even if you do NOT have the pen of this brand and color at home, it is so much easier to choose a suitable color for YOUR pens! (-please excuse the long message!)

Thank for sharing your colour knowledge and experience Really enjoyed watching you work

Thank you so much for the video, and many thanks for make free templates and their colors! I love this idea, I have a dounts and this beautiful flower to practicing! I'm so excited!!!

Love this video! You are a great teacher!

Very helpful! Thank you!

What a funny coincidence! I ordered the 100 set of the Lightfasts from Derwent yesterday! So when the set arrives, the first thing I will do is this tutorial here! 😅😊

Thank you SO MUCH for this video ❤

Is there a reason the red on the upper right is labled green? Maybe I missed something in the video. Terrific video, very inspiring 👏

Que lindoooo, amei de verdade ❤❤

Awesome video and knowledge. Ty so much

Thank you for your amazing videos. I am trying to figure out which pencils to go for. I currently have a set of Derwent Procolour and Derwent Drawing pencils, but layering it seems to get waxy, not an effect I am too keen on. I was wondering whether the Faber Castell Polychromos or Derwent Lightfast pencils would be better for layering? I am looking to use them for drawing fluffy and feathered animals mostly. As the sets are quite expensive, I thought to ask for advice before purchasing more pencils.

I have an important question cause I am drawing this rose bud at the moment and I have the same derwent lightfast set like you, but I dont understand how your color system works? How am I able to know which color you are using? Cause I didnt find any color names in the video or the video describtion or anywhere else- like for example ,,cinammon" or ,,dusty pink" or how the all are named 😅 And what does that number mean? For example, the first color you chose is number one- what does that mean? 😅 I am sorry for pestering you with so many questions, but I really want to use the right colors 😊

Great advice. how do you like the Derwent lightrast pencils?

Awesome explanation of layering, why straight up black can look flat, superb! Do you prefer to use Stonehenge wc paper when you use wc for some of those layers or do you prefer to use a different brand? I have used both hp and cp with it turning out fine with the blends. Some have said that when they try Fabriano Artistico ( Kilimanjaro is the same paper and mill) that they get repetitive little marks from the process. Maybe my eyes don’t notice it but I was curious as to if you switch with wc and then layering or mixing anyways. I use Arches and Saunders Waterford too. The Lightfast pencils lay very quickly and are so smooth and blend with so many brands. Really great explanations and example. Great timing as I am finishing some leaves and blurred foliage and blurred background flowers. Thank you😊
