    I personally really like this format! I often steuggle with finding the time to watch full length video's. And this is the perfect balance of following the process, relaxation and enjoying the sound of the materials! But honestly, I like everything you post so whatever works for you works for me!

    Your art is excellent but also your voice is very relaxing and pleasant to my ears (I say this because I have autism and I’m hypersensitive to noise and I rarely find a voices that sound relaxing instead of the usual disturbing I get and even more rare is to find someone who makes art and also has such a nice voice)

    How do you get your pencils so sharp?! I can never get my pastels to be that fine tuned at the tip!

  • @AJWGBFX
    @AJWGBFX Жыл бұрын

    I think that is a very useful format. I am new to pastels. I notice you usually ‘pull’ the pencil tip, but sometimes ‘push’ it. Is there a particular reason?

    Thank you! I push and pull based on where I am with the drawing. On the left side whiskers I had to ‘push’, as I’m right handed and I couldn’t bend around the drawing differently. pushing gave me the most control in that situation. But usually I like to pull:)

    Also, do I use pastel as I do color pencils? I am afraid of putting too much pastel on paper, it looks granular especially if I leave it as it is, and dont blend it.

  • @vinylg3421
    @vinylg3421 Жыл бұрын

    Absolutely incredible .... I have two questions: 1. How do you get your white pencil to layer on top of other colors, especially black? My white pencil doesnt work so fine. If i sharepn it and keep it really pointed, will it work? 2. I know tricks to not smear color while drawing, but once you are done, how do you keep the color from smudging especially where the pigment is very dark or thick like the black cheetah spots? If you touch it accidentally or place another drawing over it, wont it smudge?

  • @Leontinevanvliet

    @Leontinevanvliet

    Thank you! 1. I use light pressure all throughout the process. If you start pushing the pencil into the paper in the first layers, the white won't go on top easily anymore. Keeping the point sharp also helps, but a light, controlled hand in the base layers is the most important! 2. It will smudge when you rub something against the drawing. I don't use fixative but I do frame big drawings like this with a good mat. It's safe from smudging that way:)

    I do several base layers before I move on to details, but I move from section to section. I don't do an underpainting to the whole leopard, to prevent smudging the drawing with my hand:)
