This is beautiful and actually looked like I could try it and come up with something similar, especially that sky. I gave it one shot, had a few things look promising, and now I will do it again. One thing that is coming clear for me is how the sense of distance and "air in the air" or atmosphere actually happens. It never quite clicked, but the way you have explained detail and value between the hills in back and the grass up front just pulled it together for me. Thank you so much!
Wow! That was so awesome! I was mesmerized from start to finish. You are so talented, my friend! And not only that, but I have been searching for a new way to color my backgrounds, particularly skies, and you have given me the perfect way to do, so I thank you SO much! I'm so glad that I found your video, and I will be watching more of your videos because I really enjoyed this one. I am now one of your new subscribers! Keep doing what you're doing because you do it so well! Thanks again!
Sir how much time do you have in this excellent drawing. I think it is a masterpiece. I thought art of this quality had to be done with some type of oil paint and take months if not years to do. Thanks kindly for you answer.
This is so beautiful that it's drudging up my toxic inferiority complexes and anguish that I can't create something so breath-taking and awe inspiring. But I'm going to try to swallow the bile of my interminable self-loathing to ask: how do you get such uniform gradients for your sky? Whenever I try to just get so much as a flat wash using pencils and gamsol, there's either streak lines from the brush strokes, or the wash is blotchy and uneven in a way that can't be corrected even by futilely trying to add more layers. Is there an exact right amount of graphite that has to be put on the paper, where the smallest amount of too much or too little permanently screws up the layer? Am I using too little gamsol, or not enough? Is there a certain way the graphite needs to be applied to the paper or brushed to make it flat? Is it the paper that's screwing me over? Or am I just so worthless and incompetent that it's my fate to suck at everything? ... *Aw, crap...* mJSyXqBKVpY
It's a long time ago now. Can I still answer this? First, it is NOT you. In an odd way, that's kind of vanity to think so.😁Why are you so special to be a perfect loser? No, it's not you, buddy. There are a lot of variables, or things that can change in combination. Your experience to roll with whatever happens is one variable too. That is under your control, and you build it with practice. Every time you do another piece, there's something else you know now. I'm new at this too. I do a lot of playing with pencils, papers, gadgets (I love the little battery eraser with the tiny point), and even sharpeners. Skies are tricky. I can't do a really good one yet, but I tried one last week that was better than any so far. I finally did what they have been saying all along: lay down the pencil while holding the barrel way back. Half the pencil length! I gave up control, and did three very light layers for one, several times. It was already better even before the solvent. But that's me. Chicken of losing control.😁 For you its your own thing. Practice a lot, don't be afraid to waste paper, pencils and time, and give up some control. And never doubt it makes you better.
thank you so much for the video. it's so nice that you are helping people that can't afford to pay for pateron. I can't thank you enough for all you do.
I always wanted to make all my tutorials accessible for free on youtube. I just enjoy making them too much to hide them behind a pay-wall. I'm glad you enjoy them!
Hi ,I would love to get that fixative but I can't get it in my country. You told that you are living in Poland so you can't send it as well to your country eaven if you are in England you can't take it with you when you are flying so how did you got it to your country
I think I would prefer to use inktense and water. Such a lot of paint thinner used. Does it not give you a problem? I am not trying to criticize, sincerely asking....
Not in the slightest, I use odorless mineral spirits... so technically it's not actually paint thinner. I should probably get out of the habit of referring to it as paint thinner.
No, water will not work. These are wax based pencils, paint thinner dissolves the pigments and allows it to spread across the paper. I've heard alcohol, zest-it and baby oil also works but I don't know because I've only ever used thinner.
You draw beautiful and color. Let's just say it you are bad. A$$ artist. But you seem so sad. You make me want to cry for you my dear. I hope I don't bring you down with comment I am going to binge watch all your videos. Ok
I'm new at all this and I don't have a visual arts background. I don't remember hearing anyone say "vignetting" before. Do you mean kind of creating a perception frame instead of letting the edges just go off indefinitely? Is this something that artists make a choice about? It seems very subtle.
Re sky coloring: you say you start off with 161, then overlap with 661, the 002. Then you go back up starting at the bottom 161, 661, then 002. Doesn’t that negate colors? I’m confused. By the way…love the finest work. Just fabulous! Thanks for posting!
This very informative and detailed demonstration! I liked it a lot! I use pencil colors every now and then. Of course in a limited way. In terms of learning techniques this is the best place. You have opened up a new world in terms possibility with pencil colors. A true Unmasking! Thanks a lot for sharing this.
The method with the textured fixative is great! Thank you for sharing that! But I don't use any thinners, I just layering it until it gets that smooth :D #LoveColourPencils
You prolly dont care but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Albert Jesiah i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Do you have to spray the fixative on again at the end to make to pencil scrapings stay put? I've never tried that technique before with the pencil shavings and spoon.
No, you do not. Though I do recommend spraying the finished piece with final fixative. It will protect your work and keep the pencil shaving on there. But pressing them on with the spoon has always been enough for them to stay on.
This is beautiful and actually looked like I could try it and come up with something similar, especially that sky. I gave it one shot, had a few things look promising, and now I will do it again.

Thank you so much Cindy, really glad you enjoyed it and learned something from it.
You might try Powder Blender.
thx man you are the best
When YOU draw with your oderless paint thinner what do YOU have ON it? Is it water ON or baby pil or paint? Please answer
You answered your own question... it's paint thinner. I dip my brush in paint thinner. Never use baby oil.
Sir how much time do you have in this excellent drawing. I think it is a masterpiece. I thought art of this quality had to be done with some type of oil paint and take months if not years to do. Thanks kindly for you answer.
When blending out the grass, are you using vertical strokes with the brush? Thanks/

Would regular fixative work? I don’t want to buy something new if I already have something that would work.
No, the B&P texture fixative is one of a kind and no other fixative will work the same way. That is a good question.
Hi ,I would love to get that fixative but I can't get it in my country. You told that you are living in Poland so you can't send it as well to your country eaven if you are in England you can't take it with you when you are flying so how did you got it to your country
Jackson's art supplies in the UK send to all of europe.

Mineral spirits is mineral spirits. Paint thinner has mineral spirits in it.
What if we don't own paint thinner? would just water not work?
No, water will not work. These are wax based pencils, paint thinner dissolves the pigments and allows it to spread across the paper. I've heard alcohol, zest-it and baby oil also works but I don't know because I've only ever used thinner.
Right. Thank you
Unscented baby oil works fine, safe and cheap
Beautiful drawing. What kind of paper did you use.
Thank you, it's stonehenge vellum.
You draw beautiful and color. Let's just say it you are bad. A$$ artist. But you seem so sad. You make me want to cry for you my dear. I hope I don't bring you down with comment I am going to binge watch all your videos. Ok
You're projecting so hard that you could be displayed in IMAX format.
Color pencil artist look down on watercolor cheats

I really like how this landscape turned out. Love the pencil shavings because it makes the leaves really pop on a warm autumn day.
What paper are you using
What the brand color
Thanks for the tutorial video for coloring landscape ~ I am a beginner, so helpful you are~from s.Korea

Just beautiful. Thank you for great info, as always!
You're so welcome ^_^
Sweet...love the pencil scrapings

Hey man i need help with my drawings i think im really bad at it
Wooo. So great . Thankful your sharing
great 🙏🙏
what oderless thinner are you using?
It's just a random Polish brand. Nothing special in paint thinner.
is there any American brand thinner that you would recommend?
when I was in the US I used the cheapest kind. It was Turpenoid odorless paint thinner from Dick Blick.
thanks
Marvelous 😍
Kate Denning is not color pencil drawing with paint thinner sorry
