Stefany Everdeen these are the main printing process colours that give you a full colour printed picture so she does not need to use the other colours at all unless to fill some other decorative objects in the background if she wants to
well the thing about this is yes, you can do fantastic portraits with minimal colors, but most often, the colors you want to use are the colors you'll get in a large set. when you have a smaller set, most of them are just the flat primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, without much variation.
Interesting! I’d love to see you try this with a darker skinned muse. I want to try it too, I’m so used to my hundreds of luminance and polychromos pencils
Oooh. This looks fun. You did amazing. I love it when people prove that you don't need a ton of expensive art supplies to create good art. Yes...you may get better results with better supplies and you can do more with more supplies. But it is possible to create fantastic art with nearly nothing.
@@catbiscuits2897 Yeah. They are pretty high end pencils. However she is only using five of them. Usually even someone on a budge can collect pencils one at a time, and even with only a few you can still create something cool
Damnit Kristy! How am I supposed to justify my purchase of my 150 pack of pencils after my wife see’s this video? Well I will just explain your simply an amazing artist and just the best there is! You have created a tremendous portrait with such limited resources. It is good to see that if you work very hard and keep going it is possible to create art with just a few supplies. Thank you for giving us your time and expertise to help us on our color pencil journey.
Amazing. I'm so thankful for your videos, I've learned so much from your tips and have really improved my art thanks to you I've started drawing art to go with a novel I'm working on and I would never have corrected my errors without your help, keep up the great work x
Very cool to see how much you can accomplish with a limited palette. I think it would also be instructive to see you do some drawings using the 10-12 pencils that come in the small sets since I suspect that it what many people end up starting with and it would be encouraging for them to see how to mix colours and get natural looking subjects with those starter pencils.
Kirsty: This is an amazing result considering the lack of supplies that you allotted yourself. Even the facial skin texture looks so natural even without any blending materials. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Do like art? It's so amazing😍 I was impressed with your video! Keep up the good work 👍 Have a nice day 🧡👍 Absolutely stunning Beautiful! 🤩,happy to watch!😛👍😜👍 wonderful!🧡👍+🔔😘😊😘😛
This is probably the best, fastest, most inspiring video I've watched so far on this subject. I learned so much in under 20 minutes. I used to draw in high school and tech school, I've won several awards in state, did two of my school yearbooks covers, inside art, etc.. but haven't drawn seriously for around 20 years, and I've gotten quite rusty, and have forgotten a few things over the time. You are bringing it all back to me, and your art is amazing. Thank you.
It really makes sense when you think about it. All colors come from the primary colors: red, yellow, blue. Theoretically those are all you need and the black and brown for contrast. And you are a talented lady, so these techniques are super easy for you. I made the mistake of buying tons of supplies in a bunch of media, and I get lost trying to use them all. A lot of what I bought was a waste as I will never use it all.
I wish I could show you were I started to where I am. I have reduced my color set for now and am loving the simplicity. Colored pencils are the more patient medium I found. And when you say light pressure and layering is fundamental it's absolutely true!!! Super patient!
this is very inspiring! for people, like me, who wants to practice drawing, but have a limited budget or are beginners and don't want to invest in a huge amount of tools that they don't even know how to use properly yet ,this is a great motivation. thank you
You are such an amazing artist. Don’t believe I’ve ever seen anyone constraining themselves with the number of colours they use. But I really think you’re right, you really get to know your colour theory when you limit yourself like this.
Beautiful..funny I hardly ever use black I usually use a medium grey for darkening the shadows..But I don’t really do portraits yet as I am just building my confidence up to try them..I have just restarted my art after about twenty years ..so it’s a long confidence thing 😀
I admire the picture you colored with just five colored pencils. It really is about the shading, and layering the colors to create a realistic drawing.
I wanted to get started on drawing realistically with pencil. This was good help because I thought I would need a lot of new pencils but you showed that I could use few and get an amazing portrait!🙂☺️ PS might buy your course looks really good!
This is mindblowing. I'm not sure how many of your viewers use colour pencils, but this is some insane skill level. I honestly didn't think it would be possible to achieve a remotely realistic result, but you NAILED it!
This absolutely beautiful as always ♥️ actually i would like to thank you kirsty because without you i wouldn't have learned how to use color pencil correctly ..this helped me personally and my art channel ...thanks again 🙏♥️
fantastic tutorial. simplifying in this way is much easier for a beginner to grasp the basics of colour pencil portraits without getting too over complex
Do like art? It's so amazing😍 I was impressed with your video! Keep up the good work 👍 Have a nice day 🧡👍 Absolutely stunning Beautiful! 🤩,happy to watch!😛👍😜👍 wonderful!🧡👍+🔔😘😊😘😛
This video is amazing at showing you don’t need a large palette to create a peice. I'm sure there are loads more colors you can make with those colors than you used here.
I’m a huge fan of challenging yourself with limited color palettes, and I’ve got a buttttttload of mini palettes for limited watercolors. It was actually surprising and interesting to see you do the same thing with colored pencils, a medium I would have thought couldn’t do the same thing. Super interesting, thanks for making this!
This's an amazing demonstration of what formation and concentration on technique can do. But I can't stop thinking about, there's a little trick there, cause black it's not a color, it's a value so, you make a perfect contrast between the tones, generating the separation of the mid tones, gaining volume, despite of that, the work it's incredible and shows perfectly the intention here.
This technique is perfect for the quarantine since you can't buy materials from the store due to the corona virus and you need to reduce the use of white and peach flesh.

Torres artist no you don't Torres To find out why read my comments above on PRINTING PROCESS COLOURS like in your magazines and newspapers it will change your life
Wow! Unlike other videos to draw a portrait, this is very helpful for a common artist means like me who don't have sets of lot of shades !!😀😀🙂THANK YOU 🙂
Whether you realize it or not, your skills are not so different from an Engineer. As an Engineer, I can appreciate the creative thought and problem solving skills of artistry like what you have done here. It's an exceptional job you have done. Very well done, my dear.
Less colors means you need a lot of very soft layering off the same colors over and over to achieve a more realistic blending, specially for the red tones and the greys, but wow this was amazing!!!!

Hi Kirsty! I’ve got a video suggestion, can you do a video going through step by step on how to draw a portrait? It would really help a lot of people I think, including myself. Keep up the good work ❤️

*slow clap* This is jaw-dropping. I mean, seriously, this deserves a medal or something. Your art is so realistic.... only 5 colors? Dude, you're a freaking wizard with those. Love your art, 10/10 amazing!
I learned a few new things. Thanks, it’s beautiful. I know people that draw with nothing but cheap supplies and their drawings are awesome. I don’t know why we think we have to have the most expensive pencils.
@@malaksart3804 Once you get the overall shape shading with a single pen is really fun and relaxing. I really enjoyed finishing shading during classes. Wish you Luck. :)
@@malaksart3804 I can see you actually have a youtube channel where you draw. Looking at it you draw very nicely. I just noticed we have diffrent styles. You shade diffrently in your older videos tho. I mean you just tried to make something darker/lighter instead of undderlining the shape with circular movement. But i guess it is actually meant to be that way when you are going for many animated styles rather then realistic.
This was so cool!!! I love drawing challenges to show you don't need a bunch of fancy at supplies!! Amazing job! Skin tones are something I need to work on, this was super helpful!!
Maybe you should do this same drawing but with more pencils so we can see the difference 😊
Кстати, неплохая идея !!! I think it's good idea !! No , brilliant idea !!)))
What a great idea!!! You would think it can't be better than that portrait.
good idea!
Stefany Everdeen these are the main printing process colours that give you a full colour printed picture so she does not need to use the other colours at all unless to fill some other decorative objects in the background if she wants to
the white of the art paper is a very important colour in itself and you must take full advantage of it in illustration.
The fact that was made with 5 colors is just insane
Yeah but the fact that she can choose through loads of color and have to choose 5 instead of choosing 5 from a 12 color set

The materials don´t "make" the artist. The artist makes art even with his fingers. Beautiful. Congratulations!
Ladyloca you kinda right but the supplies do a lot of that to
@@mightyyoda7 I agree. Imagine doing that with a set of 5 basic statdlers; you just can't reach that degree of saturation or blending
Or hers
Yes that’s right
You can't do that with an ordinary colored pencil plus she use 3 brands or colored pencil which is very expensive.
This really helped me cause I only have 10 color set, thank you.
Also me
Me too
well the thing about this is yes, you can do fantastic portraits with minimal colors, but most often, the colors you want to use are the colors you'll get in a large set. when you have a smaller set, most of them are just the flat primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, without much variation.
Me too
I was thinking that the smallest set of colored pencils is 12 colors
This video is for every artist who's low on supplies. Technique is everything at the end of the day.
She: Hold 5 colour pencils, create a masterpiece
Me: Hold 4 set of different brand colour pencils, can't draw a shit
What about the emoji?
@@surydimonti187 that's just straight up random
U can use only one color (brown) to draw that shit jk
You should use one brand my boi
i can draw some shit :D
Interesting! I’d love to see you try this with a darker skinned muse. I want to try it too, I’m so used to my hundreds of luminance and polychromos pencils
R u also an artist ?
Rachel Kagombora yes!

Yes check out the work people have done with only a #2 pencil or cheap Bic pens.
The pencils she used are actually expensive from my country.
@@catbiscuits2897 Yeah. They are pretty high end pencils. However she is only using five of them. Usually even someone on a budge can collect pencils one at a time, and even with only a few you can still create something cool
can you do the same challenge but the pencils are randomly chosen next time?
Hehe
That is so encouraging! It just goes to show that skill is a lot more important than what tools you use. Amazing work, Kirsty! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow you did really great with just five colors. That really shows your talent.
How'd you know i needed this?😍😍 I just got a set of 12 polychromos and was so worried how I was going to use them
Amazing. I'm so thankful for your videos, I've learned so much from your tips and have really improved my art thanks to you

Linda from NZ here, this is way cool, your very talented.
Fascinating to watch this portrait come to life with only 5 colored pencils. What a tough challenge it shows how talented the artists is.
This proof that you can't have many expensive stuff to make a good art ❤️😁

Hi ma'am Im your fan. You are very talented. I always admire your artworks 😊. Thanks for sharing your talent and your techniques. From Philippines.

5 Pencils, talent and lots of work! Great Stuff
If I weren't watching this with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. OMG, Kirsty, you're so talented!
I watched this on Patreon first. I was impressed. But was scared when you went straight in with dark negative spaces so quickly.
This helped me a lot. I did the portrait of my friend the same way. It turned out really well.
I love this. Now I know how to use those no name brands that I have. I don't think the results will be as good but...I'm gonna try
fantastic tutorial. simplifying in this way is much easier for a beginner to grasp the basics of colour pencil portraits without getting too over complex

Not get confused with lots of colors , and how to keep it simple and great with limited colors ans sources.
