    I'm a complete beginner. I wanted to learn how to color in adult coloring books. I don't like Prisma Premiers because I find them too soft. Would you recommend learning to draw first or getting comfortable with adult coloring books first? I'm interested in animals mostly and sometimes nature.

Right now i can't afford the courses but when i get a job i will make sure to get them and really level up my art more, thank you so much for your youtube channel

So I kept looking for more and found 18 in total turns out they were my sister's but she moved out of the house so I kept them and I'm only missing 6 since she had 24

    Some years ago I got the 36 pack of polychromos without doing any research. Now, I found what I actually like to draw and that is mostly portraits. I am going to get prismacolors but right now There are some more serious things going on in the World. I want them for the smooth blending but while I was watching this video I realized that I was making some mistake when using solvent. Thank you for all the videos you make I really enjoy them and I also learn a lot from them.

    11:44 I have accumulated a lot of colored pencils from different (mainly cheap) brands. Because of the brand mixing, sometimes different hues will have the same name (or the same hues will have different names) so I assign them new names. The reds belong to the "A" section, and each different red, darkest to lightest, gets a number. So the first color swatch is named A1, and so on. Below that are the oranges aka the "B" section. And so on. This is the method I found easiest.

    Loved all the tips and tricks! Just gonna add a quick one as well in terms of archival (this goes with any media). Now keep in mind I don't sell my artwork, but I do this method to preserve it for my own sake. Whenever I finish a drawing, I personally do a spray coating overtop of it FOR A FEW REASONS: * preserves the vibrancy of the colors * prevents the paper from yellowing overtime * especially useful for when you're working with graphite: I find that no matter how much you brush off your finished piece, it will smudge in your sketchbook against the opposite side of the paper. Coating it will keep the graphite in place. * sometimes a specific coating (like high-gloss) can really bring out the colors in some drawings. Found this to be the case with watercolors. Now there are a few options in terms of coating, and you kind of just have to play around with it to find out what works with you and your media. Some ones I've used in the past: **Workable fixative** great all-purpose and forgiving coating for dry-media. I use this mostly for my sketchbooks. It prevents yellowing, smudging and wrinkling without adding a noticeable "finish". It's also one of the only coatings you can actual remove (with like, an eraser) * matte finish is nice sometimes for graphite, because graphite just by itself is quite reflective. It kind of helps with the viewing angles of the drawing * kamar varnish - useful for "wet" media like watercolor, acrylic, oil, etc * clear coat, semi-clear, acrylic clear, and alike are all useful for boosting the saturation and depth of your colors (think of a glossy professional photo vs matte). I REALLY don't use it often to be completely honest, but I do use it at times for specific media.
