Draw with me | How I use colored pencils in my work ✏️

Stay a while and draw with me! Colored pencils offer me a way of letting loose and drawing for myself while taking a break from client work. Perhaps they offer a similar escape for you? This is my first time attempting a process video so apologies if it's a bit rambly!

    Love the colors you use. I got tired of the pencil breaking issue with prismas. I stopped buying them. So many pieces were ruined because of Prismas.

    Your work is soooooo cool. I love how you use the colored pencils. Personally I´ve stopped using mine because I found it stressful. You´ve got me rethinking that now. Also, I´m DYING for a sketchbook tour! Or two. Or... more. Lots more. Is a tour in the cards?

    They can be stressful, all that sharpening! 😂 But I do hope you try it again, everyone's approach is so different! And yes, once I finish this mini sketchbook a tour is in the works 👀

    Hi. I have been binge-watching your videos lately as I find your voice very soothing and I like your art too. I'm leaning into illustration with my art education, so you give me inspiration. Thanks for your lovely videos. Also, I'm happy you mentioned the issue of long nails, because the thought popped into my mind as well. Awesome.

    First of all, I highly enjoy your work! I love the exaggerated features and your colour choices. Very unique!! Secondly - for Prismacolor Premier pencils that keep breaking in a sharpener; the manufacturing process of Prismacolors often leaves the lead off center (you can actually tell by looking at the opposite end!), which makes them very hard to sharpen in traditional sharpeners without breakage!! This is why I switched to hand sharpening with an x-acto. :)

    Thank you!! Wow, I've just learned so much!! I have tried the x-acto method for more problematic leads, but I get impatient with how much time it takes lol. I did get the suggestion here of switching to a KUM sharpener and it has really helped a lot too!

  • @kesalt

    @kesalt

    5 ай бұрын

    Personally, I tend to stay away from graphite with colored pencil because lighter colors have picked it up in the past and it had a smearing effect that I didn't like! The grey on the other hand tends to stick pretty well to the page for me and doesn't have the same smear

    How adorable!! I am a coloured pencil artist as well, and it's so cool to see how other people tackle Prismacolour (And tbh, HARD SAME with the sharpener. Other than an exacto knife, I also use a KUM sharpener. One hole sharpens the wood only, the other sharpens the tip. It gets sharp every time, but Prismacolours are also very soft lead which ends up breaking if the lead is broken inside of the wood 😭)
