    2. Don't add too much pressure
    3. Shade from light to dark
    4. Keep pencils sharp
    5. Hold pencil further away from tip
    6. Get smooth paper
    7. She uses burnishing technique
    8. Build layers slowly low pressure to high

  • @lilyuumi1345
    @lilyuumi1345 6 років тому +150

    i use tiny circles to shade and blend instead of lines because lines force you to shade in "blocks" because you can only move your hand so far side to side, and when you need to shade a really big surface you'll still get lines in between each "block" of shading. Tiny circles or "scrumbling" don't do that. You can go on and on growing out from one point into any shape that you need. it does take a bit longer but the results are amazing! especially for portraits because skin isn't exactly perfectly one smooth shade (you'll end up with unrealistic porcelain doll-like faces otherwise) using scrumbling gives it texture while maintaining a smooth even shading. hope this helps :)

    • @dannyboygregory-mccormick9157
      @dannyboygregory-mccormick9157 6 років тому +25

      I think a combination of both works best, depending on the drawing. Like you would use the back and forth motion for wrinkles and creases, but circulated motions for smoother areas of the skin or fill in larger shapes.👍

      Peggy Henderson I don’t get any wrist pain when I burnish. I think this is because my Luminance pencils are so soft and creamy that you don’t need to apply much pressure at all to blend them out. My wrist ache more when I use other brands of coloured pencils that don’t blend as easily.

      practice. use your free time to practice. it sounds so odd but most of the artist my age (Im 23) that i know regret it so much not to practice more while being young(er) and having time.
      do studies and SKETCH. it doesnt have to be finished and polished pics all the time. try different poses, play with colors. dont be afraid making mistakes.

      @cranberrycanvas 5 років тому +5

      Cass Gray cross hatching leaves evidence of both sets of marks going perpendicular directions usually very close together so the eye blends them at a distance. This method is designed to hide those lines completely

  • @mingjunanimeart2768
    @mingjunanimeart2768 4 роки тому

    Wow thanks for this tutorial. That was really very helpful! I mainly draw anime art and don’t really have much trouble colouring just a solid colour with straight burnishing. Now I realise I need to colour gently if I want to blend a few colours together before burnishing at the end. And the opposite direction burnishing is a really useful tip too.
