This is relly pretty
Thank you. I didn't follow all of your suggestion, but you did give me a HUGE boost on getting started and finishing. I'm so proud of my self & so thankful to you. My workspace is looking much better & clutter free. Thank you
THANK YOU for this guidance. Where did you put the white?
If you don't agree with the way the pencils are layed out, then you shouldn't buy that brand. You should buy the brand philosophy that closely suits your colour philosophy. You paid the professionals to give you an expert layout. Now you're wasting your time and money redoing the job that you requested and paid for. So stop rejecting the work of the highly educated people and buy something else that you're suited to and are happy with.
You mentioned some watercolour paper, but no more info. Like it's weight, cotton content, texture. The sound is terrible. It seems you move away from the microphone so it sounds like you are talking to yourself not an unknown unseen audience. The images on the paper samples are of little ir no value to the audience. I'd say if you want to do this, try again with someone in the room who is experienced in producing videos. The topic is something that people want to know about. A pity really, because your effort has not paid off this time. It has however, served as a practice run for next time.
Nice! Do you have the storyboard book as well?
Why your hands are shivering
I have familial tremors which is a genetic issue. I discuss that in a number of my videos.
Ahhhh, got it. Thanks! Your helper seems to be of the same school as mine. :3
Yes Zuzu likes to participate in my art projects :).
Thank you for sharing ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for giving such an informative video! I came to KZread for a video that would give me tips & found it here. Great channel
thank you so much!
where does one get pencil refill, or can i use mechanical pencil led refills?
Yes you should be able to use generic mechanical pencil refills, of the right size for the pencil you have.
Dungeons and Dragons and many of the other RPGs have amazing art in their gamebooks and other materials, and some of the artists, like Brom, are included in a number of books on SF and Fantasy art.
As a very long time D&D player, I would caveat that sometimes the art is beautiful in those books and sometimes it's ludicrously beginner level :). It does get better as the years go on and people take it more seriously.
I look forward to supporting your work
Thank you :)
I cannot thank you enough for this! I just got the Xp-Pen Artist 12 as a hand me down gift & it didn’t come with any cords or instructions! So your video helped me out tons, ordered the 3in1 cord & I’m set now!
I'm so glad you found it helpful! I love this tablet.
Excellent demo.
I'm glad you found it useful! I use this all the time for the books in the BVAA library.
@@lisasheaartist I purchased one and used with perfect results. Note: it only comes with upper-case (CAPS). I'll have to check if lower case characterd be ordered for this model as it would be handy.
Fascinating look at one of the great centres of African civilisation. They were literate too, but it's frustrating because their ancient language has died out and so while we can read their texts, we cannot understand them.
Fascinating look at this collection of American folk art and artefacts, and the way ordinary people, who weren't artists, produced paintings and objects to decorate their homes and environs.
Great review of the work of one of major figures of modern Fantasy art.
These older art books are like stepping into the artist’s studio, their own style & techniques. I enjoy that presentation. I have a couple of books like that. Along with more realistic art styles. But I appreciate them all.
I agree that there's great value in these older art books. In many cases these artists have passed away, so there's no opportunity to see modern videos of them in action. Following along with their written instructions in books is the best we can do to get insight into their technique.
Cats annoying…hard to watch video
Not a fan of fascism
Thank you for your review. I was searching for a good book on this subject. Your video was a valuable help in determining my decision.
It's surprising to me how many books claiming to be 'step by step' how to draw caricatures don't cover the basics. I'm working through a number of caricature books right now. It's an interesting sub-skill.
Thank you! Not only useful info, but relatable! Feels like I’m trying to draw with my puppy on my lap!
yes for some reason as soon as I start doing art, Zuzu is right there trying to help me ...
Doesnt work there is no screen record button
What model Samsung Galaxy do you have?
@@lisasheaartisti have galaxy M31 model. Doesnt have it either
That really helped me out. Thanks. Oh, and I have a cat too who knows when I'm doing something important and will then do everything in his power to mess it up. Like he will sit on my head or meow constantly and then when you ask him what's the mater, he will walk away and go to sleep. You gotta love them.
I'm glad it was helpful! And yes I try distracting them ahead of time but it never works. Zuzu comes right over the moment I start working on anything even remotely art-related.
Great video! Very informative and cat friendly. Haha
Thanks! Yes my cats tend to climb ALL over me when I'm trying to do video tasks ... so helpful ...
what about adding water using asyringe to the tube and keeping it up for 2 days
The problem is that, adding drops into the mouth, the tiny circle the water is going to touch is barely going to impact any paint at all. The water can't easily "wriggle down" into the rest of the tube.
@@lisasheaartist correct
Thank you for keeping the video short. These look nice! Thank you
Yes these are great pencils. I enjoy them a lot. I got them because a friend of mine loved his.
Hello. Thank you for your excellent videos. Can I ask whether you would recommend the die cast version over the original acrylic version?
The die cast pieces are heavier so I find they sit better on the paper and don't skitter around as much. So I prefer this version.
@@lisasheaartist Thank you. That’s very useful indeed.
thank you so much
I'm glad to help!
Greetings, Lisa I purchased the Walnut Hollow colored pencils years ago and I love them but I can't find them anywhere now. Do you know where they are sold? Thanks!
I don't think Walnut Hollow makes these any more. I can't find them anywhere 'official'. I think your only chance is finding them at a flea market, tag sale, or maybe on ebay. Good luck!
👍🏻
Thank you!❤
I love these cards. It's a great way to keep practicing my skills and being able to send little notes to friends at the same time.
How do you put the leads in?
I've added a how-to video on how to change out the lead in this pencil. Ask with any questions!
Love the cat❤😊
Zuzu is always climbing all over my desk. I just today posted a book review and sure enough there is Zuzu, trying to lie on top of it ...
One helpful hint you could add a drop of gum Arabic to the bottom of the pieces that had fallen out of the pan area segment that could help stablize the pieces to stay in place better..thank you for the suggestion of foam..🎨👩🎨🇨🇦🇺🇲💙
I bought the kodak 350 and desktop arm which allows you to trace on the desk, and it doubles as a tv monitor. I think it's worth it for someone who is on a budget..only $300.
I have this printer but i cant print anything but this error code "the read write permission of the memory card has been denied. Please open it first!" Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this? TIA
I was a teenage sci-fi fantasy paperback stalker in the 1980s.
The books really had the BEST covers. It's a shame sometimes to see what covers have become in modern times - often it's just the title in giant letters and a vague indication of something in the background. I suppose the same could be said about record albums though ...
@@lisasheaartist I don't think that's happening to record albums but take, for example, author Alan Dean Foster's Flinx and Pip series, the new reissues of those are absolutely horrendous.
You are shivering like hell dude!
Yes I have familial tremors which is a genetic shaking. I should do a video sometime about how it gets challenging to do artwork with an issue like this. I do photography and watercolors and both are getting hard to do.
Thanks so much!😊
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Merci 👍
I love Foss :)
This was exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for! I just got one of these small printing machines, I I wanted to know what I could use to add colour to my designs. Thank you so much for this cute and very useful little video - with the nice pencil obsessed kitty 😉
I'm glad you found it helpful! Yes this was a key reason I got it - to easily create little images to color 'on the fly'.
I was 10 years old when Star Wars came out and it is still my favorite moviegoing experience. I got this book for Christmas and read it over and over because I loved all the details and the way the pictures showed the scale next to a person. The notes by the artist always fascinated me, too. This is just one more thing that was lost along the way over the years that I would love to have back.
I have one if you’re interested
Yes we all lose things as we grow up - the nice thing about ebay is we can get the ones we really want back again :).
Are your hands ok? From experience, I use hand braces to help with hand tremors. Thank you for your video!
Thank you for your thoughts! I have familial tremors which slowly get worse over time. I used to do origami videos, ten years back, and I've mostly given up on doing those. Researchers now have an electronic wristband out which supposedly helps a bit with it - I am looking into that. I should also do a video or two on the challenges artists with tremors face, and ideas for how to mitigate them.
I have a set of 72 coming tomorrow. I snagged it off eBay marketplace. I don’t like using prismacolors but it was going for a good price and it’s new and unused. I maybe should work more to master them. I find they are too soft for me and thus hard to control. The tin of my set looks older and I think two discontinued colors are included. Lilac and violet? Don’t remember the names exactly.
It's neat that you have discontinued colors. Or is that just going to annoy you? What if you fall in love with one of the colors and then you can't use it any more? :)
@@lisasheaartist Uhhmmmm pondering, but I found a lilac in an almost same colour in Derwent Artists. If a colour isn’t available anymore, some other brand might have it. FC also discontinued their lilac but it still turns up now and again on a marketplace. Someone on our marketplace was looking for those 2 discontinued colours and I was about to offer mine to them but then the ad was removed so I couldn’t contact her anymore. No, I don’t get myself worked up over colours. It’s either there or isn’t. I’ll make peace with the situation.
Hi, are you organizing from an instruction list? If yes, what list is it?
Just search for “Prismacolor Premier 72 Brilliant colors chart” on Google.
I just like to make my colored items in a 'rainbow' style order so it's easy for me to find things. It's the way my brain works. If you'd like a copy of my color chart, I have those on Etsy - www.etsy.com/shop/lisasheadotcom
@lisasheaartist Please don't do that. Other brands do the rainbow 🌈 style of pencil order. They grade the colours to match this style of decorating. You can't just rearrange the complex set of colours. You DON'T WANT green in your landscape drawings cause green has too much blueness in it to work with nature's natural set of colours. So green belongs to a different set of primary style of colours. So Faber castel puts green away from the various greens that do fit nature's greens. You have just RUINED THE VALUE of your drawings by mixing up the professional colour layout. So swap the set around and destroy the value of your drawings.
Thank you! This was really helpful!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I do this kind of testing for my own projects so I figure I might as well share what I find with other people.
Thank you 😊❤
I'm happy to help! I love this little printer.
Thank you very much for that. Kirby is one of my favorite artists ever.
Yes Kirby's works are so amazing!
