BURNISHING Colored Pencils - What is it, and Why? | Prismacolor Tutorial
Burnishing with colored pencils is something you'll hear mentioned in many of my videos. It's such a fundamental technique that I think it deserves its own video explaining what it is, why you should do it and when it's useful.
If you'd like to draw along with me on any of the pieces shown in this video, I offer detailed tutorials, sketches, swatches and reference photos over on my Patreon: / gemmachambersart

Hello. I love your tutorials. Thank you so much
...very informative!-subscribed!
Awesome, thanks!
thank you!
Relative beginner here. I notice Derwent do a burnishing pencil, as well as a blending pencil. I use the blending pencil a lot, but have done little burnishing. Thanks for showing us burnishing with colours. I note that both the blending and burnishing pencils do seem to make the colours more vibrant as well as smoother.

That is a great point - a few of the main pencil brands offer blending/burnishing pencils, sometimes called colourless blenders. I think there's nothing wrong with using them at all, but I do like the opportunity to make my final colour adjustments by burnishing with a colour.
copic clear markers are terrific as well
I like you maam.. your very good in color pencil, thanks.... 😊

Do you offer free teaching tutorials? A lot of people try and charge money for what you said in this video, but do you have anymore pointers especially for drawing portraits?❤️ also tysm for this video!
I get nervous about which colour to use for burnishing, so I always go for white, creating a sort of milky effect. Is the sensible thing to do to burnish in a colour a few shades lighter than the underlayer?

The way I understand is you don’t burnish the hole picture with the same color/tone. Use the same tones you used for the layering underneath.

@@frankkennedy6388 I’ve seen another KZreader mostly choosing either the midtones or something like that but I forgot which it was. I suggest trying it out on paper scraps and decide afterwards. But I don’t think the difference will be that prominent when the drawing is ready.
Pattern doesn’t work in my country Egypt 😢
I try not to burnish, dont really like the shiny look you can get soemtimes
