Hope you find this coloured pencils lesson and project useful. I'll be uploading more projects like this (and a bit more advanced) in the coming weeks. There are lots more of my free lessons over at ArtKula.com if you don't want to wait!

You are an excellent instructor who broke these foundational skills down in a truly understandable and doable fashion. Thank you for the lesson!

I like that it is step by step in real time and shows the whole process with a reference photo as guidance and comparison. Awesome especially the real time and dtrp by step

Best coloured pencil video I've seen. Most people concentrate on application. Choosing the colours was really useful.

It’s the simple subjects which teach best, I think. All paintings are made of simple subjects, each needs individual attention and then continuity within the composition.

Thank you Phil. My previous attempts at drawing have ended in frustration but your thoughtful videos are exactly what I need to get started again.

You're the best instructor for me, anyway. Thank you so much ❤

Phil, I wanted to thank you for the informative and helpful tutorial. Your explanation of how and why you chose those colours with such a limited palette was very enlightening. It was helpful to see how you started laying down the colours and creating transitions. Your thought process was well-described and easy to follow. Additionally, I really appreciate your easy-to-listen voice.

Thanks! This was very helpful.

Sooo looking forward to the fried egg -so realistic!

This was one of the best pencil video’s I’ve watched ! Thank you

Thank you for your help with us beginners. It is helping me with My mental health.

I love this channel, great to see a new video!

Amazing! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great to watch this excellent demo again after several years. I needed a refresher lesson, and it’s really very thorough. After the first time I watched it, I did a very satisfying drawing of a doorway from the south of France, which is now framed and hung up. Thanks again Phil.

Fantastic 😍😍😍😍

I loved that lesson on the Pear. Thanks so much. Looking forward to the rest of them.

Brilliant, Phil. Thank you !

This is an excellent lesson demo. I like how you compare and get a feel for the original photo on what colors will emulate the color of the pear. I am new to colored pencils and techniques and looking forward to giving it a try with my own projects. Thank you.

Phil: I am currently enrolled in your Draw Awesome course and loving it. I have never done anything with colored pencils, but I sure am looking forward to doing some in your Draw Awesome course now!!

Great tutorial.

Thank you, Phil. I loved this video. I've just read through your free guide and I'm looking forward to creating this drawing and learning how to use colored pencils. Your future projects also seem interesting and challenging.

Beautiful art!! Thank you.

Being colorblind I tend to use less colors. I just work on getting values right rather than trying to match color.

I can see colors and use the same technique. Values are more important than color

I'd imagine you're a better artist because it's harder to concieve the colors you use, my gratitude goes to you ❤

Outstanding! Thank you for sharing ❤

Brilliant lesson as always regards Steve

Awesome

Thank you for a fabulous tutorial. Watching step by step is really helpful.

brilliant, moved on from colour pencils but will go back and try this pear, cheers

Great video! Thanks for sharing 😊

Really inspiring video. Thank you

Perfect love it

I like prismacolor pencils which are wax based. But I also like inktence water soluble.

this is a truly fantastic tutorial. But you know that luminous green you rejected at the start? that would have beautifully given you that reflected light green at the bottom of the apple.

Very impressive lesson👍👍👍

This is awesome!! really easy to follow the instruction and techniques. Hope you can make a tutorial about how to draw a pearl with colors pencils. Thank you in advance🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️ love your videos!!

i have crayola colored pencils in hand and im ready! Wish me luck... 🤣

Thank you sooooo much ❤❤❤❤❤

excelent!

Hi Did thisturned out great, did not have all the colours, still good.

excelent

😊

❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this great lesson. I'm a complete beginner but still managed to pick up a few valuable tips eg. mixing /transitioning colours or living the highlights free. I would be grateful for some general advice as to paper; should it be smooth or toothy etc. When I draw the paper gets clogged up and won't take more pencil at some point.

@@PhilDaviesArtist Thank you.

Thank you. A very useful exercise. I did use a blender pen, however, because I unwisely (I'm still experimenting with paper) used a textured pastel paper. Even pressing hard left lots of paper showing through but the blender worked well. Can you recommend paper that works well with coloured pencils?

If you buy the Faber Castellated 24 pencils today, the colors/numbers are different, at least they are in set I bought from Amazon in U.S.

Hi, always enjoy your videos. I have the Fabriano toned paper, sand colour, and I've struggled to colour on it. Am I doing something wrong? I still see like holes, if I can say that, where the pencil has not coloured and when I rub over with my finger or tissue, the colour wipes off, leaving it looking dull and like I've not coloured much. I've used Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor pencils.

Just a beginner with coloured pencils. Where do I find your ebook?

hey what do you mean by squinting the eyes exactly ? I'm not sure I get this right I can"t see the shadows any better trying to squint or close my eyes what am I doing wrong ?

How did you transfer/trace your original drawing to your drawing paper, please?

Gheeze, take a photograph. Good technique practice tho.

Where is the reference photo

and this is why I don't care of colored pencils... they are too fiddley and take waaayyy too long to produce results. A watercolor painting could be done in 1/3 the time.

It isn't a race to see who gets finished first. You see fiddley, others might see an opportunity to focus and meditate while expanding their observational abilities. Plenty of room for all techniques.

@@renel7303 Sure.. depends upon what your goals are... my goal is to create something tangible in the 30-60 minutes a week I might have available to me. If you have 3 hours to create a small object with colored pencils and enjoy the layering and blending of 5 shades of the same color... then more power to you! 🙂

Why are you even commenting on a video about colored pencils technique? People watching this are actually ready to spend that extra time because they love colored pencils. It's like if I were to go to a watercolor painting video and say how that is not for me because I hate brushes (and it's not, because I couldn't care less about watercolor).

@@eliciabonnieWell.. if you did do that I would say.. GREAT! you are sharing YOUR OPINION with others.. making conversation and perhaps sparking a lively debate about brushes and watercolor... that is what the COMMENTS section of youtube is for. Thx for reading my comment and starting a conversation about it! 🙂

@@pesto12601 but this is not a debate it's you telling us we should use something else, like none of us ever tried other methods to draw. We're into colored pencils, we don't care if watercolor painting takes less time. That's not the point. We want tricks to improve with pencils, not brushes. For that we'd obviously be watching the wrong video. So if you don't care, don't comment here to patronize colored pencils users about the wrongs of our choices and rights of yours. Newsflash we don't care.
