I used the basics of this tutorial to draw a blue wolf. I looked up for a second and then looked down into my sketchbook and nearly had a heart attack from how awesomely it turned out. "Wholly %@#$! I drew THAT?!?!"
GODDAMN they blend good! Are all Prismacolor colored pencils like the same because I bought the Prisma Verithin colored pencils and they dont seem to blend like that when I draw in my sketchbook? I mean whats the diff between the verithins and their other types?
I think this was done well, but you are lacking in the texture of the fur. It's very smooth and well blended, but if you added highlights and darks in short strokes, you'd get very nice fur. Just for future reference. But your technique is lovely ^-^
I only use Prismacolor pencils and to blend I use Turpenoid (odorless turpentine) and a blending stump. Really helps me blend, stays vibrant. Plus your pencils will last a lot longer. You use a lot less.
Thanks so much :) I am used to using acrylic paint, chalk or oil pastels, and graphite pencils, so colored pencils were sort of a mystery to me. This helped a lot :D
Wow, that's very pretty! my colored pencils always come out weak and dry instead of the rich saturated color you have...whether it's the pencil or I just suck at drawing, I don't know LOL.
I like your drawing technique...Ive been using pencils exclusively on portraits, I like the fine point and the control....and Im really considering embarking on color....Your vids are a real encouragement and teaching source.....Thanks so much
are you using a different white pencil there, like a different kind or brand other than prismacolor? its a very nice white and comes up super vibrant. your vids help me so much!
amazing! where did you learn to draw like that? I am a fellow artist but have not attempted color pencils...what advise do you have on using color pencils???
amazing I know for my art class we either press down too hard or we don't press down hard enough and we get those white dots all over the place, how many time do yoiu go over an area lightly?
@Nxluda hi! You have to find your own style and pencil strokes. I like to color lightly, that way you can add lots of nice layers and I seem to have more control... but don't get me wrong I do press hard when need to. To answer your question... it just maters on the painting. Thanks :)
@Chasn555 nope its just a regular piece of matte board. I think there all the same anyway... So find the cheapest piece you can! Strathmore can be expensive. thanks!
This is amazing. Is it because of the matte board that you can overlay so many colors on top of each other or is it the prismacolor colored pencils that allow you to do that?
Oh my god! U just got urself a new admire. I love draw and stuff.... I am good painting with liquid paint... with color pencils I suck! I have a kit of prisma colors and I don't even know how to use them to make a good draw. I now how to blend colors but damn I am really bad. Good draws but bad paintings! This was really useful!
@CocoHotpix haha yea im afraid of brushes ..but yea i just went for it n started coloring lightly haha ...im trying to color a dead girl but i made her blue n my bro says is she like from avatar...hehe i was lik nooooooo ugh so mad he thought that
uhmm what brand is the white color? a friend told me its a derwent but you say its prismacolor so im kinda puzzled hehe =) great work!!! amazinggg!!!!! omg!!!!! =D <3
@xxxxboatxxxx subscribe and I'll soon have a tutorial for that. You also need to be comfortable, relaxed and confidant with your art medium to really start creating great things. thx.
@dummaaae This is the #1 most asked question. This matte board. You can buy it in big pieces at most art craft stores. Or even go to a frame shop and they have extra pieces you can have. Matte board usually goes around your painting but in this case its your paper!
Such a Brilliant Artist! You are Truly Amazing! Could you Offer Me Some info on how to Blend colours into one another and make Fur look EFFECTIVELY like fur please?
Amazing I never new someone could actually color realistically I've been drawing for 2 and half years but never seen someones drawing and color this great before.Keep it up and hope your talent will get you far! ^-^
@Libraa89 Color pencil can go on all sorts of paper. It matters on what you like. Some papers have textures and some are smooth. Those are just things you have to choose for yourself. In this video I use smooth Matte Board (the stuff that goes around frames) I buy them in large pieces. You can use pastel paper, water color paper. And pretty much any paper you can find at an art store! Thanks for watching! -JP
how did you get the whiskers to show up on the face? whenever i try to do whiskers, it seems like i have to grind the white into the paper, and even then its very faint and doesnt look like a whisker!
@bigamberjack well I had to press really hard, and I do it in one stroke. I would have I have used a stylist but I didn't have one back then. A stylist is a metal tip that indents the paper, so then when you color over it your still left with original background color. Then you can just put the white whisker right into the indent. Again pressing hard. Thanks for watching.
@chabby316 Ok Cons: Waxy... and I spent like a few minutes trying to think of anything else! I really don't see any other con except for maybe they can be a tad expensive (but there only $1.25 piece) Pros: very blend-able, come in every color, they don't saturated the paper fast, there colors are always very bright, and they've been proven not to fade as fast as other pencil brands. So thats all I have to say! Now its up to you. Thanks so much for watching! -JP
Hey, absolutely love your work. i've been trying to color, but then I keep changing mediums, like marker to color pencils...after seeing this video, i can't help going back to color pencils. besides, they seem interesting and sort of easy too. i'd like some help regarding choosing a brand too. i own a set of derwent studio color pencils. we don't get prismacolors here, and faber castell high end range isn't easily available. is there a derwent set which i can get similar to yours? Thanks a lot.
@greenbottle23 I would always recommend Prismacolor for your brand and especially for beginners. But. You can't get them where you live. I looked online about Derwent reg. color pencils. It looks like they are a good brand. I found quickly a set online... this is the type you should buy. Don't buy a lot for your first set. You can buy them separately from an art store. If you don't have a store, buy a 12 set online. Also look on ebay for Prismacolor pencils! Look around online! thx!
Hey there, this is a really great piece you've done :) but excuse me i need to know that if i should use blending sticks on color pencils works or not , thanks a lot .
@erwinrommel1940 I have a blending pencil but I do not use it all that much... I use it mostly when I'm coloring on textured white paper just to make a few things more smooth. You can choose to use colorless blenders or not to use it. Its all on what you like best. I feel that pris pencils blend naturally but for some it may not. Try it out and see what you think! Thanks for watching! -JP
Hi Jacqueline, I love your artwork. I recently started using pencils but am unsure what the best brands are to use. Can you make some suggestions when you have a moment. I really appreciate your sharing on youtube. Warmest regards Pauline
@pauline5116 Well I use Prismacolor colored pencils which is different then another art medium out there. It has a waxy feel. And is the most popular brand It's used by most pros. I've never used Faber-Castels (which are also colored pencils) but I've heard excellent things about them. I've heard they aren't as waxy and more chalky. I like waxy cause i believe thats how the colored pencils blend in together. So I hope this helped you choosing! <3 -JP
LovelyQyla, you can do it. Your right brain is on. When you draw do you loose all since of time? Do you feel like you don't want to stop and are you driven to make it good? Then you are a right brainer. Welcome to the left brain world. JCH
LoveyQila, you should master drawing before you paint so try color pencils. Prisma Color is the best. Then try a painting medium. Acrylic is the easiest . Oil is hardest and expensive. I like water color. You have to practice alot to get control of it. I like to mix water color and color pencil. I also was born with a paint brush in my hand. Work at it especially shadeing. Try cross hatch shadeing.(look it up)the more you work, the better you'll get,
Since I was able to hold a pencil I draw in my own way:before I did the body (whit the pencil, and when on I draw the clothes XD then I learned how to draw but I never colored anithing, but thank to this video I guess I get some point in how to do it, so i'll try ^^ thanks ^^
hello i just bought some color pencils from walmart, i've always drawn and shaded in pencil but today im gonna start drawing in color too :) you have a great talent and were you looking at the picture when you colored this?? and pleas if you have any tips for me pleas im no the best but i want to learn to be just like you pleas reply back.
@elbebebonito Hi! Congrats on starting! To answer your questions I do use photographs and for this one I used a picture I took of my cat. I use photos most of the time but not all the time... and I don't follow the pictures exactly. So to start get a picture with high levels of darks and light (cause those are fun and simple to do) of anything you like. if you decided you'd like to go father in art I'd suggest to buy some prismacolor color pencils. They are the best you can buy! Thanks! :o)
@doghappy101 Hi ;) I'm using matte board... the stuff you can buy at art stores for matting your photos or art... well I buy large pieces of that and draw on it. They come in a bunch of colors and textures. I use a smooth textured board. and sorry but what are drawing on top? I don't know what your talking about... unless you mean I coloring the background blue......? Thanks for watching! -JP
@1DasOmen I buy them individually. No there not messy at all. Colored Pencil is by far the cleanest medium! That's what I love about it. They can break... but it doesn't happen to me often. Thanks for watching! Hope it helped! - JP
so pretty! kittyz r awsome! lol nice! >:p i use like copy paper but i get kinda the same out come but like hilight in the eyes are hard to get br=ecause of the white paper! >:C
How did you achieve that use with the white pencil?
I ask because when I try applying white over a layer of say, the blueish teal like in the cat's eye, white seems to blend the colors together more than actually making a noticeable change in value. I'm honestly considering this thing to be a giant tortillon.
Does the paper matter? I used just plain print paper to practice with, using prismacolor pencils.. Does the type make a large impact? I have Verithin.
@Joehtosis Well first off using plain print paper will get you no where. Go to an art store by art/sketch paper in a pad or buy pastel paper, matte board. Anything but print paper. Buy a few Prismacolor pencils not the Verithins. You'll see a huge improvement! Putting white in does help the value in a huge way! If you look on my site and see the picture of this you'll see the white shining through. Get some proper materials then see what happens. JP
Yeah I just used the print paper to see what effects I would get with the pencils so I wouldn't waste anything of more value. I also looked into the type of pencil a bit last night, I guess I either need softcore or premier.
Wondering if you could tell me what you use to sharpen your Prismacolor pencils. I have a Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencil set and they just wont stop breaking when I sharpen them. I'm using a steel Staedtler sharpener.
On this video I'm using green matte board... Well I do use the colors to show through but on this one I didn't let the green show through... the green was more of a background on this one. But I do use colored paper all the time! It's much more easier to color pencil on it you don't have to fill in the cracks.
Well first off I use Prismacolor pencils. I used just a white and also a cream. I use yellow canary, yellow ochre. I don't remember the oranges but I think I use siena brown, mixed with yellow it looked a lot like orange. And I think magenta and scarlet lake. Thanks for watching!
did you do this on textured paper? also wow if i saw this pic in real life i would thnk it was painted by an ultimate proffesonal, hope i spelled tht right XD I also never knew you could do tht with colored pencils! you have encouraged me to start using colored pencils in an epic way :3 5/5 stars

@elbebebonito Hi! Congrats on starting! To answer your questions I do use photographs and for this one I used a picture I took of my cat. I use photos most of the time but not all the time... and I don't follow the pictures exactly. So to start get a picture with high levels of darks and light (cause those are fun and simple to do) of anything you like. if you decided you'd like to go father in art I'd suggest to buy some prismacolor color pencils. They are the best you can buy! Thanks! :o)

what type of paper are you using if it is...
any what are you drawing on top just curious : )
doghappy101 1 year ago
@doghappy101 Hi ;) I'm using matte board... the stuff you can buy at art stores for matting your photos or art... well I buy large pieces of that and draw on it. They come in a bunch of colors and textures. I use a smooth textured board. and sorry but what are drawing on top? I don't know what your talking about... unless you mean I coloring the background blue......? Thanks for watching! -JP

a set of how many do you use? Just curious
And is it true that they're pretty messy and that they crumble or break easy?
1DasOmen 1 year ago
@1DasOmen I buy them individually. No there not messy at all. Colored Pencil is by far the cleanest medium! That's what I love about it. They can break... but it doesn't happen to me often. Thanks for watching! Hope it helped! - JP

How did you achieve that use with the white pencil?
I ask because when I try applying white over a layer of say, the blueish teal like in the cat's eye, white seems to blend the colors together more than actually making a noticeable change in value. I'm honestly considering this thing to be a giant tortillon.
Does the paper matter? I used just plain print paper to practice with, using prismacolor pencils.. Does the type make a large impact? I have Verithin.
Joehtosis 1 year ago
@Joehtosis Well first off using plain print paper will get you no where. Go to an art store by art/sketch paper in a pad or buy pastel paper, matte board. Anything but print paper. Buy a few Prismacolor pencils not the Verithins. You'll see a huge improvement! Putting white in does help the value in a huge way! If you look on my site and see the picture of this you'll see the white shining through. Get some proper materials then see what happens. JP
CocoHotpix 1 year ago
Yeah I just used the print paper to see what effects I would get with the pencils so I wouldn't waste anything of more value. I also looked into the type of pencil a bit last night, I guess I either need softcore or premier.
Thanks for the info.

@khatanahlya I like pastel but I don't know much about them yet. I'm still a young artist so I haven't explored a lot yet. I do use pastel paper

Wondering if you could tell me what you use to sharpen your Prismacolor pencils. I have a Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencil set and they just wont stop breaking when I sharpen them. I'm using a steel Staedtler sharpener.

@Perezaanos sometimes my pencils break... try not to drop them. Always use an electric pencil sharpener! The hand ones always break.

@Crystalmoon99 there are a lot of papers you can use. I look back on this thinking I could have gotten the same effects on watercolor paper.

silverstar145 2 years ago
I use the best colored pencil out there right now.... PRISMACOLOR Color Pencil

Diplomatica36 2 years ago
great job. question though. why did you use black paper? im sure there is a reason, does it make the colors appear more intense?
timtrtt 2 years ago
On this video I'm using green matte board... Well I do use the colors to show through but on this one I didn't let the green show through... the green was more of a background on this one. But I do use colored paper all the time! It's much more easier to color pencil on it you don't have to fill in the cracks.
CocoHotpix 2 years ago
awsome!
what is the name of the colour pencils you used? i especially want to know the white one.
desorienter 2 years ago
Well first off I use Prismacolor pencils. I used just a white and also a cream. I use yellow canary, yellow ochre. I don't remember the oranges but I think I use siena brown, mixed with yellow it looked a lot like orange. And I think magenta and scarlet lake. Thanks for watching!
