Using Watercolor pencils

So my friend is using watercolor pencils for the first time and has a crappy art teacher, so I decided to help her out wiff a little video. This is my first time using water color pencils too, but I've watched other people use them in my classes. =D I might put up a part two using an actual picture and coloring.
Anyway, sorry for the interuption in the middle, but thass life for ya.

I was really only doing this for a friend to help her with a school project. I"m not really any good with watercolor pencils >.>; that and I can leave my camera on a flat surface and it'll still go in and out of focus. It's just a cheap digital camera's video recorder. It doesn't even record sound anymore at this point ~_~;;

O.K.  but hold the camara still. I was getting dizzy.

I was, as best I could, but my camera's cheap and weird and doesn't focus, so even when I place it flat and don't move it, it'll go in and outta focus DD:

I liked your splodges and didn't really notice your camera much, so don't worry about it. I was most amused by your mom talking about noodles :P

Your camera is shaking so much I can't hardly watch. But thanks for the tips. Don't use black, ever. Gotcha. Just got my pencils and I love them. They are fun.

interesting, but please, find a tripod for your camera, i was getting dizzy too

your camera can't focus well because there is not enough lighting,

you shouldn't film the details but the whole page.

what really really helps with blending is using a very damp brush instead of wetting it entirely (not telling you aoipara...just letting other's know who happen to watch this lol) .... but using a damp brush will drag little bits of color until you get it where you want...and then you can make it wetter as you like.

well, I was just really showing the basics to my friend 'cause her teachers just gave her the pencils and didn't tell her how to use them. I actually never use mine, and I do do regular watercoloring, but I do it rather unconventionally and am only so good--i can only do people and abtract. I'm still a high school student...
