I just want to thank you very much for these long, non-edited videos. They are actually super informative and invaluable learning tools. Your description says that it's meant to be "watched on the side," but I actually really pay attention to your techniques, pause, and try to do them myself. So thank you very, very much. Whatever you get from these is like .0001% of whatever someone who watches these gains.

I totally agree. Here I am like 3 hours in and ready to go take a nap and I stopped the video and it's only 6 minutes in hahaha! I can't wait to come back and work on my girl! She's looking an awful lot like yours and the fact that you include the reference picture has been invaluable. I didn't realize how much I would look at that while following your tutorial. I think maybe I'm having an issue with the paper I'm using. I feel like it's already pretty cakey. I am totally fine with starting over I just need to know the best paper to use. I'm using Prismacolors which could also be leading me into trouble even with the least amount of pressure holding the pencil all the way back and sideways. Somehow my girl looks a lot like yours so I'm doing something right. And I used a long time to get the drawing down to begin with. Colored pencils are new to me too. Or pencil crayons as you call them! It's a struggle but I'll get there.

You’re really inspiring me to draw with color pencils again.

Your color combination is so good🍭

@@codghost9301 It is an unorthodox one but it comes from understanding values and color theory. She is using complimentary colors but she is interpreting her skintones in a much more dynamic way than they really are. If she followed more of an exact shade it would be more realistic but kind of boring 😴.

Omg now after watching this part I'm wondering how blonde hair would look like done with pencils with this technique, those ladies look absolutely amazing ❤

same! I often struggle painting really light blonde hair... end up painting them so yellow/grey

I’m glad you’re trying color pencil. I use it so it’s nice to see how you use it.

It's insane how I can sit through a 50 min real-time video without skipping any parts and actually focusing on every movement you do. It's been a very long time since I've been so much into someone's drawing videos. You teach me so much through both study and just any process videos... Unbelievably inspiring. Thank you for what you do!!!!!!

Yeessssss please do more studies because there isn't much of it In KZread also your work is great!!!

I also love listening to you talk! If someone doesn't like it they can mute but I don't know why they'd want to. Keep up your awesome work!!!

I'm really liking the colored pencil videos, they're nice and relaxing.

i cant believe how talented you are! your style is just amazing and your comprehension of color is just perfect.

Back after watching. I gotta say I was so impressed by the hues you managed to see in your reference. I don't think I achieved that yet. My eye can see colors but like not that much and I feel like I learnt so much through your process that I will try to apply next time I sit down to draw something. I gotta say I also love how you use the colored pencils in different directions yet the study has a very cool look at the end and I just love it.

Downloading this so I can watch it anytime. This will be fun. I watch them whilst doing nothing because I'm trying to learn the tips you use so I could use them in my own drawings.

YES ANOTHER ONE!!! I weirdly watched the last one without doing anything with it like i just love watching you blend colors and would watch 10 hours of this without being bored

You should do some in pastel too. I feel they fit your style

I actually busted out my colored pencils again because of your last video, I forgot how much I loved using them for portraits. Love your videos!

Amazing-again! It was so fascinating and informative, just watching and listening to you think out loud, and seeing the results of each decision. Colored pencil is definitely a good medium for you. The affect of both portraits is a luminosity that was absent in the photo references. You obviously drew on your knowledge of color theory, and understanding of how light defines facial planes, and the use of values throughout brought it all together so beautifully. I’m always so gobsmacked by your abilities as an artist. I kept feeling that each girl could have talked and told the most interesting stories about their lives. Thanks again for allowing us to watch you at work!

I just want to say that your work is gorgeous! I love your style. Those colors blend so nicely together. Bravo!

Thank you for showing your process in real time! It is very helpful.

I love this type of videos, I swear I learn a lot from them, specially since I'm trying to get back at colouring with pencils (I've been attached to watercolours for too long now lol). Thank you for sharing your art with us ♥

I love your videos! Don't worry about talking to yourself instead of to a "friend!" I totally get it. It is easier for me to draw or paint rather than talk. If I were to do a demo video I would do it just like you. Oh and my room/rooms are a total mess would not want them filmed.

I love how quick you build up colour gets me inspired to do more art sometimes lengthy pieces put me off and you have proved you can make a really good piece fairly quick

thank you SO MUCH for these real times videos. It is the best to understand how you color or paint, thank yooooou !

Your use of colour is so distinctly Chris Hong it’s fascinating to watch them come together 😵❤️ Also loving the longer videos! 🙃

I really like your vids! They're quite simple, and just show your progress of you drawing And it helps and entertaining for us! And how you tell us what you're doing and explaining each steps.. just perfect! Keep it up :D

So in love with your color pencil drawings😍

I love the texture and colors these have!

I am in love with the colour palette.😍 This is my absolute favorite!!😄 It's crazy how something that is only meant to be a study turns out to be an amazing finished piece. I hope you know how good of an artist and teacher you are! Thank you for making these videos. They really help me figure somethings out.

How funny, I do the same thing-- I constantly am talking to my self aloud, and usually when i'm alone lol. Don't want anyone to think i'm crazy, but I definitely do this. Especially when I am drawing and am really into what I'm drawing. Also, i really enjoy the laid back style of your videos! All I come for, and I'm sure many others, is to watch the artist do their thing and talk to us during. I think the way you discuss things throughout your videos is great. It feels personal and genuine. A real up close look at what you do is more than entertaining to watch! Again thank you for the great content!!

Thank you for beautiful content in a color study. It’s appreciated for the indirect and direct reminders to remember value. I also appreciate you saying “let’s see how (color) looks”. This is great fuel for me.

These videos are soo fun😊😊It feels like spending time with you and drawing along..ahh Im so happy you make these💜💜💜

Excuse me WHAT!? This give me some much tingles!! As an Asmr!! I Love your Art !! 🤧❤❤

i love these study videos its fascinating seeing your thinking process. more please :)

Loved it Chris :) Thanks for sharing!

I really love your art style no matter what you do. You just bring things to life so much. With this subject I think you over rendered on the lips a bit but you always pretty much get away with everything. You inspire me to always be forgiving with myself too because most of the time when I make mistakes while painting or drawing, I tend to like stop and like you know, stumble on a lot of art block because of one mistake lol. Thank you so much! Please continue to make more!

woaaaah i am really fascinated with your process

your color pallet is beutiful and the emotion you catch is lovely

Real time videos are sooooo helpful and I really wish more artists on KZread made them. I’m struggle with colored-pencils so I know I’ll be studying this video over and over again. Gorgeous technique!!!!

I LOVE how this looks. I am so happy tou offer such in depth and long tutorials, mistakes and fixes along the way. Thank you so much! I want my sketchbook to be full of these drawings and I'm also a big fan of ballpoint pen! I saw you do that to here so I can't wait to try it!!!!

i love your study with me videos!

Thank you so much for this. I have colored pencils but had not used them for anything other than adding highlights to watercolors. Because I thought I would not have the patience to do the layering and building up of color slowly - until now! After seeing the effect you achieved and the speed with you were able to get such rich color by using colors I woud never think to use on a face, I am inspired to take out my color pencils and try this. Thank you for this and all of your drawing tutorials... I really love your style and am learning a lot by watching your videos.

I love the colors you're amazing!!!💗

YASS! More studies like this please! They are so helpful and I've learnt a lot, thank you!

YAS! I’m digging your coloured pencil style, so stunning!! I’d love to see you use them for a finished illustration! Maybe one with multiple figures? Because you make the skin look so amazing. Thanks for always inspiring me with your art. Last week when I was stressed because of dentist I watched a video of yours and it really calmed and inspired me, once again: you’re amazing, thanks a lot!!! 💖💖💖

You are sooo inspiring! And super talented... please show us more like this, maybe a larger portrait, in real time, live? That would be so Amazing!

Aww you've really made me want to use my colored pencils again! Although then I remembered the reason I'm not using them is because I've ordered them through the internet and their leds got obliterated in the mail and it's too heartbreaking lol. Adored the video despite my heartbreak though, thank you.

I know I’m late, but I just found you recently and I’m absolutely in love with your work!!! Please do more of these real-time drawing videos! I enjoy watching them so much and I also learn quite a few things from your way of drawing! I love love love your stuff!! Keep it up! 🥰❤️🥺

My lovely friend - I am in the same boat, however I have found that if I keep on top of my cleaning (which I sometimes prioritize cleaning too much) it really helps maintaining a calm environment. I used to be a complete disaster but as I’ve gotten older it has become so much easier. I worked really hard at being an organized person. Would it help if you vlogged reorganizing and decorating your room? Or contacting someone else that could help you find solutions to contain your “mess”? Sometimes just having a place to hide the mess from even yourself is helpful. My house, for example, is very clean looking and is often complimented for being well decorated and clean - but honey, if you open any of my drawers... apocalyptic disaster. At my job, I am very organized but my drawers throughout my house tell another story.

You are a really great artist!By the way, I loved your thanksforbeingagnomie letter!it was great to see your handwriting,and I really appreciate the beautifully little presents that you enclosed with it 😍😍😍😍😍

It amazes me the amount of color variation you can get with just colored pencils. Your videos are always enlightening and this time, in particular, I couldn't help but think about how I would approach things. It gives me something to compare and contrast my working steps to and ways I can change those to try and achieve a particular result. In short, I like these longer videos. (and I hope it's not too weird to say your voice is very soothing. I almost fell asleep because of it but I was too interested to see how it would turn out! lol) I get the having a hard time to break into something (I keep telling myself I'll get around to making a youtube video eventually, or to follow this idea or that one), but if you really want to do it, you're just gonna have to fail at it at first. Just like art. (Why do we do this to ourselves again? lol) In all seriousness though, you've cultivated an audience who enjoys your art, enjoys you. I'm sure whatever you want to do you'll do great at it.

I really love your portrait studies. Your illustrative work is very nice too, but as someone who struggles with studies, I feel I gain more from these types of videos. Anyway, I love your art! I hope you're doing well, have a nice day!

This is gorgeous!😍

For me this both aren't studies, for my are already a peace of art! Love it sooo much!! As always, and I really like not just to watch your videos but listen to them, now are 4:23 am I felt really sleepy but have to finish some illustration work, so I turn off music and play to your videos, really help me to stay awake 😊💞😊💞 many thanks for that! Greetings from Mexico

I always wonder how people use so many colours for shading and make it look so good, now I have some more insight cus of this video, thankss

Interesting comment on people preferring your studies more on instagram- I showed my art account to a colleague once and she told me she liked my realistic portraits better than my illustrations. It felt disheartening because the reason why I do studies is to improve my drawing from imagination, and for me studies require less effort and they never really feel like they are in 'my style'. I always really love your illustrations for being stylised, and seeing how it even comes through in these portrait studies is also lovely. I really hope instagram doesn't discourage you from sharing your illustrations

These are gorgeous 😍 I would love to buy them as a mini print set or something! 💕

Chris, two things, I think it might be best for you and everyone not to take any one person's suggestions to heart. Like the girl who said for you to talk a certain way. You cannot please everyone, so just be yourself. I like you the way you are. Now, one thing I personally think, is that all your art is good, but your portraits have a distinctive look, I automatically know they are yours, and they are nice. So that kind of shows maybe you should go with what you love, and when you get lots of likes it is because they are really special.

This is so relaxing to watch. And then you sharpened that pencil... I had a jump scare. 🤣

out of all your posts, i love these portrait studies the best! and, while i read all the books, i just cant watch the show...

I really like your channel so far!

Simply perfect...

Pretty freaking cool.

I would love to see vlogs! even if you dont say anything, just throw insome random clips here and there of your day to day life! id watch em all day!!

i'm trying to follow you on this study and 8 minutes of you coloring took me 2 hours! Still trying to figure out the color theory or something that informs your color decisions. My beginner self will always be grateful to you, Chris! :D

i like your approach when it comes to sketching, a solid colored pencil and not a graphite pencil and then proceeding in polishing using all the other colors you have chosen for your reference photo.

This was a super fun watch, I was drawing along and it threw me through a loop when I had my pen on the cintiq at the same time your pencil crayon was scratching on the page, tricked my mind into thinking I was drawing on a traditional medium for a second! Also, you mentioning extra life had me feeling residual stress haha

I can totally relate to the messy room and creative chaos! It drives me nuts too 😬

You use ALL the colours. I love it so much.

No puedo creer lo bien que colorea, mi sueño es algún día estar a su nivel 💚

Soooo good !!!

I love this. Keep it up

You are an amazing artist

wohoo Im soooo excited!!!! 0:33

Some colors hide as the flat colors that look like red or brown but are actually changes in hues that fit into th eobject's shape. Basically fun the sun all the spectrums of light can hit the face but what the eye collects is based off what you're willing to see.

The way you can learn this is to blow up a photo and really zoom in there. Then you will see greens and blues and purples and yellows. Then just start painting, keeping in mind to use those colours. I for example love using light blue and light yellow for highligts and purple and green for shadows. Dark blue for really dark shadows. A regular blue works well as reflective light in a shadow area. It is mostly trial and error and what's up to your taste, but those are the colours I love using. And I also love leaving visible, unblended strokes of bright yellow/ green/ purple/ blue ect in random places to create visual interest.

Love the illustration, you’re really making me want to attempt working wit colored pencils even though I’m already struggling with watercolors and digital painting. I wonder if the reason you found the shadows on the right side (closest to the viewer) to be weak is because the shadows on the cheek farthest away from the viewer were too dark and through off the values? But overall I love how vibrant and lively your colored pencil figure studies are, I wish I could discern color the same way you do😊

You are an amazing artist & probably have already learned this as this video is a year or so old but to remove the grainy texture it is best if you use a very sharp pencil to go into the grain of the paper. You can also use hot press paper too. Honestly you are so much better than I am especially at getting a likeness but that little tip is just something that has stuck with me. Thank you so much for these tutorials, they are excellent!

wowie your amazing

This makes me want to get out my pencil crayons! This is beautiful ✨

You can get rid of some of the texture and do extra blending using a Copic colorless blender or something similar. There are also colored pencil blenders but personally I've never used them, but I hear they're useful!

chris back at it again with a redhead drawing

Thank you so much

loved it

Does everyone talk to themselves like they are being interviewed with art???? Chris I am so excited for you to reach 100k!!! Your videos are always appreciated.

Thanks for sharing. You can still do a vlog with a tutorial. Best of both!

You inspired me to impulsively buy a set of prismacolor pencils before this pandemic. I'd have to pick up on those pencil crayons again!

i like your the studies , but i found u and followed cause i really liked your disney-like characters - like the girl with the cat

Just want to say, thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏

Have you ever tried blending colored pencils with solvent? I use Gamsol and it's absolutely amazing and makes the pigments much richer/darker (not necessarily darker, just a tiny bit- that's why I usually just say "richer")- but I like how it pushes the colored pencil into the paper texture and gets rid of the cloudy/sketchy crayon look

Ahahah oh my gosh I also talked to myself as if I've been interviewed LOL I'm glad there's someone out there who does the same, I feel less alone (and crazy ;P)

J'adore tes dessin au crayon de couleur ils couleur son saturé et bien plassé🌟🌟

It has been noted that women can be kept from their art by the idea their space should be clean and organized first. It gets in the way. Your space is usable by you for you. I love your videos. I also like your stream of consciousness talks. You are just starting. In the future, it will all come to you with ease. I like these videos as-is. I love your artwork. I learn things. Take care and don't let fear rob you of your dreams. You've got this.

I have this on the fastest speed and your voice still sounds normal 🤣. I love the neon effects but that neutral skin tone is very hard to color for me so you did really well.

What you said about instagram nature is very true..! This happens to me as well, and in the past I gave this much more importance than I should had. While planning a drawing I thought about how it'd look from the explore page, if it'd fit into a square, if it'd look good in my gallery etc... Though all what I had to focus on was what I wanted to draw. Art is not at all about likes. I'm pretty sure a lot of my works would turn out more sincere if I understood it earlier. So please, don't care about it too much. Only care about it when it essentially affects your earnings (I found you very recently and as I understood you earn your living by drawing). You're a wonderful artist, and what you create cannot be measured by such meaningless things like comments, likes or shares.

I love this. I love listening to you talk. I would not worry about being messy. I have been doing art for 30 years and have a room that has art supplies everywhere and for all those years I have been wanting to organize my shit but just have not. I think a lot of artists are the same. I hope after 4 years your not worring about that so much. As before watching and listening to you is very satisfying. Keep up the good work.

More vids like this please :D

I too have the same problem of color being too distracting and imma use your tips on how to maybe just think monochrome and that I'm using a pencil

Pls make a vid on how you draw this semi realistic faces pweeese 🥺I really like this style

Plz can u upload more i mean ir art is amazing luv to see more

Hi! I would just like to say that your art and color theory is really really good! I’m hoping to get as good as you someday, I was also wondering how u convert shadows into more color? Sorry if that doesn’t make any sense 😅
