I know right! I think people are either jealous or just really mean. She gives us these amazing free to watch videos, sharing her talent & artistic skill, in real time & people dislike them. Nobody forces them to watch that's what gets me! I think she's an incredibly talented artist.

Beautiful, beautiful shadow and highlighting techniques!

One of the hardest things to overcome as an artist is perfectionism....the more effortless you are with your work the better it turns out

Beside fr enjoying in watching i learned a lot!tnx so much i think this is a simplified tutorial but outstanding output

Beautiful drawing of your snow leopard! Great demonstration.

Gorgeous as always ! Thanks for sharing it ! 💖💐🐆

That is great! Thanks Leontine! I bought some black sketch pads but I think I will have to graduate to pastels to use them.

You are such a great artist. Drawing is so good that it shakes my heart. I'm touched. I'm an artist, too. I'm completely fascinated by you. WOW!!! vey good

Me fascinan tus dibujos, la complejidad y el detalle con qué son elaborados. Aprendí muchísimo de tus vídeos y agradezco que inviertas tanto tiempo en ello. Esta hermoso tu dibujo. Gran art

Loved this video. Was willing to try colored pencils on Pastelmat and you have just inspired me with this video. Really love your technique, your work is amazing! Hope you will do more videos like this. Thanks for sharing!

Wow!! Love your work!! Very used to drafting film but really want to try this!!!

My pastelmat arrived today! Can’t wait to get stuck into this project, just got the tabby cat to finish off then I’m starting this one 😘

Love when you post videos!

Thank you for sharing. I love it. You are a great artist.

It is gorgeous !!

So Beautiful and really amazing art work

I would to see how you do a eye and nose on pastelmat. I am going to do my first piece on pastelmat . A koala , so watching this is very helpful

Wonderful work, you have given me the courage to try pastelmat again., and now i am off to join your Patron. Would love to see a video of the eyes.

Amazing!! Thank you!

I am really enjoying your tutorials. I’ve quickly become a huge fan and I hope soon I will become a Patreon member. ❤️

Beautiful

Great drawing, 💕

Awesome talent! Thanks for such a great tutorial. I like the way you talk through the process and that you take it slow so I can understand the technique. I am working on a wild cat from a photograph I took at a zoo 6 years ago. It's multi-colored and I don't know the breed but it's a good looking cat. I just completed our house cat and it's not bad but I can use some improvement.

Your artwork is amazing! Love the photos on IG too ❤️

Hi this is incredible. Can I ask how you did the background. Is it in colour pencil too ?

amazing video.🌹🌺 my friend.❤like👍

what sharpener do you use? I love the points you get

💞💞💞

i personally think the eyes in the drawing look more real than the eyes in the photo !

Wonderful Work 👏Are you mixing the colored pencils with the pastel ones? what kind of paper do you use?

A fantastic rendering of the snow leopard. Thank you for sharing. What do you keep your pencils in whilst you are using them.

It’s one of favourite cat

I really love this one 😘😘😘😍😍😍😍, but can you please tell which colours you used , please 😢

I find it very difficult to layer my light polychromos on darker colours? How are you doing it so easily?

I love 🤗🤗👍👍😊🤗😍😍😘🐱

Many thanks for your answers, I’m so happy ❤️ The link you sent me, the background is so wonderful blurry. Is ist made only with the Polychromos? I tried so many paper, Strathmore, Clairefontaine and so on, with rough, structured surface. But the estompe didn‘t work at all. It didn’t blend the Polychromos. So I threw it away because I was so frustrated. But I did not yet try the Pastelmat! Do you work with the estompe, too? Maybe it is the paper... but is there such a difference between rough surfaces? Sorry for questioning again but Pastelmat is so expensive 😊

Pastelmat is totally worth the price, as you can't compare it to any other paper! I LOVE it haha. For the background I used soft pastels, only for the leopard I used polychromos. I don't know estompe, never heard of it! So never tried that haha

Love your technique... do you work flat or on an angle please?

What's the reason you choose to use coloured pencils on pastel mat instead of pastels? What are the advantages of it compared to pastels? I thought it wasn't possible to layer coloured pencils on pastel mat, but now I'm curious to try. Did you use the clairefontain pastel mat?

Glacenair that is the only pastel mat paper. There are other pastel papers though. You can layer soooo many layers of colored pencil on it. Check out KZread channel animal art by LAW. She has videos showing how many layers it takes

@Leontinevanvliet

I feel with color pencils you can go a little more detailed than with pastels. I really like the sharp look of colored pencils against the blurry pastel background! My goal was to make that contrast really high. To me the advantage of colored pencil is the fact that you can't smudge and that there's no excess dust coming from the drawing. The advantage of working with cp on pastelmat, is that you can layer light colors on top of dark ones. On regular white paper that isn't possible! So with this drawing I felt I could combine the qualities of pastel with the qualities of colored pencil, which worked great!:)

I see how you paint, I congratulate you but my question is how do you manage to add mustaches to your beautiful paintings, thank you

Can this be done on canson me tienes paper? I don't have pastelmat yet but i do have alot of the me tienes paper. Also can you get the layers needed for this snow leopard on mi tienes paper? Thank you.

at what length do you throw away your coloured pencils, when do they get too short?🤔😅

Holy shit i love this

Why do you not use any blending for the coloured pencil like mineral spirits or zest it? Does pastelmat just not require/work with these?

@@jackelinavilaart3047 You might consider using a paper strong enough to take liquid solvents. Canson or Strathmore Bristol Vellum, for example. The benefit of using a solvent like Odorless mineral spirits over your (several) light layers of colored pencils is the very smooth result as opposed to the grainy look of colored pencils without solvent. You only need a small amount. There are videos on KZread that you could find on this technique.

Did you work on pastelmat as well? For me it does, but I had to make sure that the layers underneath where quite thin. Otherwise the paper is already filled up and the white won't stick anymore.
