Q? I been checking out your videos for awhile now. Would you like viewers to actually follow what you do or better yet what would you like for viewers to get from your incredible work?
So, I'm curious....what feels like a long time ago, when i used to do art on a regular basis, i used to use a combination of alcohol-based markers (Prismacolours, Copics, etc.), with pencil crayons (aka coloured pencils; mostly Prismacolour brand, and a few others). I would colour my surface with markers first, just a solid base colour (as i used to call it), and then I would go over the marker with my pencil crayons. Now...this was back before i went to school... I was an adult doing art, and I had no training in anything... essentially, I literally didn't know what I was doing, other than "This looks good, let's just go with that" kind of mentality. Now that I've gone back to schoool (college) in my 40s, I've been learning all the terms and techniques you've been talking about in the video, so things are starting to make more sense to me; things are clicking for me now, and I'm able to follow along and understand it much better. So...if im understanding it right, when I used to colour my base colour of markers first, is that like pre-toning my white paper (in that case, i was using smooth bristol board), which is why my colours seem to "pop" more, and appear more bright and brilliant than if I were to just straight up colour using the pencil crayons on the paper? I haven't touched my markers and pencil crayons in years, as I was dealing with depression and burn out, but now that I've been learning about colour, drawing, tones, etc., I kind of want to revisit my old way of colouring woth my markers and pencils, to see how much I might have improved, and learned, just from this semester alone.
How do you decide which color to start with and which to follow...or is this just a choice....that the most imported thing is....value? Is there a helping tip how to decide what colors to layer?
Hey, i don´t know if you have still some trouble by choosing the right colors to layer, but here is a solution. Go from light to dark to preserve the highlights is always important. To choose and find the right colors from a reference photo, there are several apps like Colored pencil picker, which will help you finding the colors on your photo. it also helps you with mixing colors and more.
thank you for teaching us how to use the pencils how ever your cupcake is nowhere near the same color as the little cupcake on the right what you should be showing us how to color the picture actually close to the original color
@@thevirtualinstructor but if we are drawing what we see like you did with the cupcake which was a replica of your model shouldn't we color it the same as well, and if not why draw it the same in the first place.
A wonderful tutorial…such fun to follow. THANK YOU
Just completed it, thank you!

Hi Kharius, Black isn't used at all in this drawing.
it's grey, but good idea ^^
1st

Hi Mark, Cameras already do a fine job of replicating exactly what they see. As artists, we don't have to copy photos exactly.
@@thevirtualinstructor but if we are drawing what we see like you did with the cupcake which was a replica of your model shouldn't we color it the same as well, and if not why draw it the same in the first place.
@@lovinpa8087 hi there. An artist is allowed to interpret his/her drawing or what she/he see in photo reference.
No
Very easy
