Right? I'm from Europe and I really don't want to order prismacolor from the US. I had enough issues with costumes randomly holding my orders, sellers not declaring correctly and costumes holding my order, damaged orders etc. I don't drive and costumes is in the middle of nowhere and really, waiting so long for a possibly damaged order you have to send back doesn't sound attractive to me. Plus they don't seem to last you very long. But even people in French videos from France always use prismacolor ordered from America when polychromos are basically made next door and available open stock LOCALLY. The polys seem so underrated and I really want to learn how to make the most of mine yet 90% of the tutorials are prismacolor and with things like skin especially, I NEED to be told what colours I can use especially for undertones.

This is excellent!! Thank you! I have been using Prismas for years and finally graduated to Polychromos - what a great change. Regarding the gray under-layer of gray, I tend to work with toned gray paper; would you say that the gray under-layer is still a good choice?

@BonnitaDoodles

3 жыл бұрын

Yes I would have a play and see if it works. The grey abd tab papers just tend to help speed up the process as it acts as the middle tones so you only worry about shadows and highlights but with cp you may still need to try and base colour with greys

However, you say you have to put on light layers, one after the other, which I do, but I just can't seem to get the intensity attentive ... and I feel like the Bristol paper saturates .. should you at some point press a little harder on the pencil? On your video, I find that it is very quickly intense and the colors blend perfectly with each other. Maybe it's because you're a professional and I'm just a beginner! I will train intensely!

I had a full set of Polychromos land in my lap, and I want to do them justice, but I am very much a beginner with coloured pencils, and the techniques in this video (which I would love to learn) still seem half like magic. Any hand-holding tutorials you can suggest to get started? Thanks! Liked and subscribed
