Magic Tool to Make Your Colored Pencils Drawings POP

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hey guys, welcome to another video!
In today's video I wanted to share with you one of my favourite medium to use along with colored pencils and that is Zest it Pencil Blend. This can really make your colored pencils drawings pop!
Especially if you are drawing on Strathmore toned papers, sometimes beginners get discouraged by the fact that they keep seeing the texture and because of that they immediately start pressing the pencils very hard which is preventing them to layer and combine their colored pencils.
If you have struggles with that, I am sure that this medium will really help you out and save you some struggles :)
Also, this drawing is made as a real time step by step narrative tutorial for my Patreon page so if you are interested, feel free to check out my Patreon page and get exclusive access to all my real time drawing tutorials! Apart from that, you also get loads of benefits and rewards, so check it out and join my art community!

    Loved this video! Let me just add something though, for people watching. I highly recommend Zest It Pencil Blend. Do NOT use baby oil for artwork you plan on selling or lasting. Things like baby oil, nail polish remover are not archival, which means they will affect your artwork over time and most likely become discoloured and damage your artwork. Just letting whoever reads this know! I wasn't aware of this when i first started! :)

    beautiful work, just a bit of constructive critique not to hurt but to point out where it can be improved since you work in photo-realism and it is always easier to see such points from a side, the hair separation area needs improvement as it makes hair look like someone slapped a bad quality wig on her head, but the hair itself looks great, I might give the blender another go as I didn't like how flat it made my colors look, but maybe its because I don't work with Prisma as I hate the wax bloom it develops over time

    You can burnish. Depending on the paper quality and pencils used, you won't get quite the results as with a solvent. I've used the Prismacolor Colorless Blender pencil and had spectacular results, though, but it took ages to do (to be fair it was a huge poster with a lot of details). I've also used odorless mineral spirits and the result was brighter and the blending much faster. I have mild arthritis in my hands and can't always burnish.

    You can use it for practice, the issue with baby oil is that is not archival, so if you use it for practice, that is good enough, if you want to work on commissions for example and sell your originals, that means that using zest it or something better even will work better cause they preserve colors. :) hope this helped! 🥰
