Since I am new to color pencil drawing what I want to achieve more in 2022 is to refine the techniques I learn from great artists such as yourself, Lana. I appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge and talent.
Thank you so much! It’s so great to have you here!
I'm glad for this cuz I haven't had the chance to use my intense pencils yet. I injured my wrist and hand doing a piece for a contest. So I'm bummed about not getting to them when I wanted. I am looking forward to it though.
You will have so much fun with them!
I want to improve on color selection and blending with light colored pencils.... and selection of the first color in the base layer!
Great goals! I will see what I can do about working these ideas into future videos!
draw confidently. very new to colored pencils. and to draw fur.
Yes! Fur. Realistic fur. My pet drawing look like they have on wigs lol
I think fur is all about patience! I’ll be sure to continue to do animal drawings/tutorials on the channel!
Thank you for the great tips! Could you make a video about being an Art teacher and advice for future art teachers?
Thanks! What kind of art teacher are you thinking of becoming?
Thank you for all the tips, I'm more a crafter that a artist, yes Derwent has really awesome products, I love the inktense I do have all the inktense line. Thanks again.
You are welcome! I have heard there are some really cool craft applications with inktense…like dying fabric etc. is that something you have tried?
@@LanaGloschatArt yes in deed, I have painted canvas bags, cotton face masks, and of course water coloring, I m a card maker also ...
Beautiful piece! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I’d like to concentrate on composition and using more intense colors.
Wishing everyone a happy and creative 2022.
Great topics! Thanks for sharing!
Learnt some great tips. Thank you
You are so welcome! ❤️
Lovely. Thanks for sharing your great work.
You are so welcome. Thank YOU for watching. Also, sorry for the super late response. I took an extended UA-cam break, but Im back and just posted a new video today if you are interested:
Become a MASTER of Color Theory with This COMPLETE 4 Step Process ua-cam.com/video/--m2xTJFuDM/v-deo.html :)
Happy New Year!!
Wow!
:) Thaks!
Thank you for all of your wonderful tips. The painting is lovely!
Thanks so much!
Love this❤
Oh thanks so much 😊
adding more color to my drawings to add better contrast and start portraits.
Portraits can be a big step! Thanks for sharing. I’ll keep these themes/topics in mind for upcoming videos!
I was just in awe watching this process and learning from your tips. 2 things I would hope to improve on artistically is shading I'm somewhat horrible with proper shading and to not get discouraged and actually finish yo drawing.
Thank you and I totally get it. Colored pencil is just as much about developing your techniques as it is about developing patience and grace for yourself! Keep it up!
Try start card size; with a still life you can touch and practise with light source replacing; in the front, back or side or from above; all can give different values; contrast is the magic word when it comes to shading; dont start on a full size; i made that mistake. for beginner level id say use 100% cotton; its easier to learn with consistency of paper;; it is harder to relearn the other way around; yes been there too.
I want to be able to draw and paint more realistically. I am a beginner, so I have a lot to learn. I would also like to learn to blend colors well.
I closed the video by accident, but am watching again :)
Thanks for sharing and best of luck on your journey! Please reach out with questions any time! I love helping beginners with this medium!
Loved the video! So excited about the giveaway!
Do you have a couple things you are interested in learning/improving on in the coming year?
The two things I would like to improve my work in 2022 is 1) learn to work more efficiently and 2) make my pencils work more like paint.
I feel like I have these goals for myself every year too! There will be more on these topics foe sure! Thanks for sharing!
Great tips Lana!
Thanks so much! Glad you found them helpful!
Awesome video, and WOW, what a beautiful piece of artwork! The 2 things that I'd focus on, would be composition and learning how to use the incredible products available to the best of my ability. Thanks so much, Lana, and happy holidays to you & your loved ones.
Thanks so much! I too am always trying to improve composition! Great goal!
Subbing excited to see you grow your channel!
Thanks! So happy to have your here!
excellent intro to inktense and lightfast uses. learned a lot!!! Thank you!!!
two things i would like to improve on in my artwork:
better value use in each piece
and. no “ colored” look with better blending. have never used inktense to block in mid value colors or tried OMS either but love look of all your work!!
Thanks so much! I talk a lot about value in my videos so I am sure you will find more tips about that. As for the colored look… it’s honestly a light touch and tons of patience/practice.
I love your youtube channel - you're such an amazing artist to learn from and I really appreciate all your tips! The main thing I need to work on this year is how to make it a habit to create art daily no matter how hectic life gets. And I also want to work on getting better at portraits in a way that also develops a personal style.
Thank you for your sweet comments! Thanks for sharing your goals. I will definitely make content that will help you with these this year!
Two things I want to learn is creating soft gradients with colored pencil and how to create easy but interesting backgrounds.
Gradients with colored pencils are all about patience for sure. Have you ever tried a mixed media approach (watercolor or PanPastels) Thanks for sharing your goals.
Thanks for sharing your skill! You deserve more subscribers!
Thanks for your support! Hopefully it will grow, but I am happy for all my current followers/subscribers and their participation!
This was so very helpful thanks!! I never thought of using these together and I didn't know you could add mineral spirits to color pencils!
yes mineral spirits can help blend colored pencils. Here is a video about how to use it safely/effectively: ua-cam.com/video/bjdxg-vLKVQ/v-deo.html
I loved watching your layering process between inktense and colored pencils - such a beautiful combination. In 2022 I want to improve: 1. My loose approach to painting in all media. 2. My skills/facility with colored pencils. I've painted lots with watercolor, acrylic & gouache. Now I want to add more pencil painting to my practice. Thanks again for the opportunity to win this Derwent package!
Thank you! And awesome goals! I too would like to sketch more and loosen up a bit. And I would like to start experimenting with gouache!
@@LanaGloschatArt I came to gouache much later - years after painting with watercolor and acrylic - and really love its versatility. It's just fun to use!
It is going to be great when this paper is more available and at a more competitive price. This upcoming year I want to do larger pieces of art and I would also like to combine some of my supplies on a larger format. I have pens, inks and pastels I rarely use. I also want to get back to doing a drawing every day. No US address, just commenting. Great video.
Thanks for participating! Is your main medium colored pencil? Large pieces can be tricky with pencils, but I love going large too...that could be a fun video idea! Thanks for the idea.
@@LanaGloschatArt no. Watercolour, sometimes with coloured pencils on top or gouache. Usually, I paint and draw on paper that fits in an A5 type journal. By larger I mean maybe an 8 x 10 or a bit bigger. Yikes, then I would probably have to think about backgrounds.
I have a video that address this coming out on Thursday. (Larger piece with a mixed media approach: colored pencil, watercolor, watercolor pencils, and pastels) hope you are able to catch it.
What a great instructional video. Thank you for such helpful tips. I loved learning about separating the subject from the background so the colors wouldn't bleed into one another. Great to know also the layering process and staying within the shapes where you need it. Thank you and to Derwent for doing this amazing giveaway.
Glad this was helpful! Have you used inktense products before?
@@LanaGloschatArt I only used them once, I have a small set but I'd love to play more with them.
Very informative tutorials Lana! Do you have one specifically on how to soak and stretch the watercolor paper? Is it stapled to a permanent surface? How do we protect the staples from getting rusty, if so? Looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials!! Thanks
Not exactly but I do show how to fix warped paper in my most recent video: ua-cam.com/video/ez3VNloEHfQ/v-deo.html
I would search this topic and see how watercolor artists do it. They will have better tips, I just wing it with what I have because I don't watercolor all that often.
So many tips! Thank you for showing your process. I'd like to get better at shadows and lights, my light is all over the place. Also, I'd like to experiment more with mark making with different media.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing your goals! I am excited to do a bunch of mixed media tutorials next year! I am glad to here this is what you are excited to learn.
I want to improve on male anatomy, and landscapes/perspective. I decided this about a month ago. I'm set on on it.
great tutorial. I love my inktense I should use them more.
You should, and let me know how it goes!
I will think about a good project for them. Thanks
So is sensational. I am a coloured pencil artist and usually use watercolour as a Base before using my coloured pencils on top but I will give my intense a try again after seeing this video. Many thanks😊❤
It’s a fun combo! Thanks for watching!
Hi. A little correction or maybe happy news for you: All 24 Derwent Drawing pencils ARE lightfast.
Lovely video! Have a great day
Yes! I love the drawing pencils. I believe I was taking about the inktense pencils not being 100% lightfast in this video, but its been a while... :)
Wow Lana! Absolutely beautiful! And I Love the tips with the Inktense and colored pencils! It never crossed my mind to mix these two mediums, it looks amazing!!. I love the Inktense pencils and blocks, they're fantastic mediums! I also didn't know there were colors that were lightfast! Its good to know that! Thank you again Lana!!! I love your channel!!!
Thanks for watching
@@LanaGloschatArt 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Would love to see you do a peacock feather with this multimedia technique!!
I need to improve two things in my art:
value control using colors
and
blending so no white paper shows through with colored pencils. i don’t like a color book look that so many end up with in their art!!
Hi Lana,
Great tutorial and amazing result. I have been looking for tutorials combining Derwent intense and colored pencils for a long time. Next year I hope to improve my drawings by getting more depths in my drawings.
By using this technique, first a wet and then a dry medium perhaps I will improve
I am so glad that I was able to help. It is a fun combo and I am happy to answer any other questions about the process for you!
Wow. I am super new to Derwent Inktense color pencil (just received ONE pencil to try out) and I never knew anything about the actual potential. This is a great video and I really like how crisps and clear your explanations are. Thank you for helping me find your account! Absolutely love this. Looking forward to more videos :) SUBSCRIBED!!
I’m working on my watercolor skills and urban sketching. Hoping to introduce watercolor pencils to help with my detailing and also being fast in my drawing on location 😍
Thanks so much for your comments/goals! I am excited to do some sketching from life this year and I will be sure to share my process on this channel!
This is a great video with so much helpful info! Just one comment to share is that the volume of your voice is very, very soft in places. Not sure if you can help that, though. Thanks for another excellent video. You are a great teacher!
I have been working on this in newer videos... it had to do with the way I was editing volume. Too bad there isn't much I can do about these older ones, but I appreciate you reaching out about it!
Thanks for your sweet compliments and for watching my videos! ☺
Very instructive video! Beautiful demo. Two things I’d like to learn in 2022 are - 1. The different solvents to use with colored pencils and 2. maybe using the Derwent Graphitints? Thanks and looking forward to the New Year!
Thank you! I have a solvent video on the channel already that you might enjoy! “10 things about solvent..” or something like that. I love the graphitint pencils but haven’t don’t any videos. I will add them to the list!
2 things I want to improve on is choosing flesh tones for portraits myself not what other artist have discovered. (I’m still new to colored pencil) the second thing I want to work on/ improve is time management. Yes I have a full time job, but it shouldn’t take 2-3 weeks... I need for confidence, more practice.
Great goals! I will definitely be discussing skin tones this year. I have some plans for dark skin tones in the next couple months already! I will be sure to continue time management tips to! Best of luck on your journey and feel free to reach out with questions any time!
I would like to improve on making backgrounds with watercolor pencils (painting in a way that is even and consistent) and layering colors enough (with regular colored pencils) to blend them smoothly. I try to use as little water as possible when I paint in coloring books, but I have to finish backgrounds quickly to avoid lines or unwanted color variations. I need to be more consistent when I layer colored pencils because too much pressure will affect my ability to add more layers and change the way that different colors blend together.
Nice video!
Have you tried using straight watercolor for background? I have found it is easier to work directly with paint for large areas.
No, I haven’t tried that yet. Thanks for the tip!
I have a video on this topic coming out on Thursday (watercolor pencil backgrounds). I hope you are able to catch it.
The two things that I would like to improve in 2022 are blending and color layering. Thanks
I’ll be sure to continue to provide tips on blending and layering! Let me know how your journey goes!
@@LanaGloschatArt thanks
I want to improve my drawing by working on composition I would also like to learn how to create dimension on my painting. I was trying to do a landscape but am struggling on making the cliffs look right. I need to not be afraid or concerned of messing up because that stops me from creating.
It is so tricky to get over that fear of failure… for me it’s not 100% gone, but it does get better the more time I spend and the more risks I do take.
Awesome. I would like to get better drawing what I see and not what my brain says I see. I also need to get better practicing patience so I don't start rushing and ruin the painting. Thanks for the video.
Such good goals! I am starting g a free critique group that I think would really support these goals. Is that something you would be interested in?
@@LanaGloschatArt Not sure. It's such a busy time right now. Perhaps after the holidays?
@@maryjacobsen6721 totally. It will start up on Facebook soon. Reach out if you have any questions or want more info!
Nice tracing
Thanks
I can’t wait to try the Derwent paper! I use a foam board to stretch my paper and sometimes I use a block. Do you prefer to paint with the paper at an angle like on an easel? Your tip on drying a layer to prevent bleeding into other wet colors is a good one. I’ll heat test my foam board first, though!
I’d like to improve layering. It takes a lot of willpower for me to not over-saturate a color on the first pass. It feels good to do that, but I’m missing the depth I could get by layering. I’d also like to use my Pan Pastels more often. They are so versatile and enjoyable to work with.
This piece I worked on vertically… sometimes I will work horizontally or in a slight angle but only for very small pieces.
Building up patience for layering is a skill in and of itself. I do hope you get those pan pastels out more! They are so fun!
Oooh Lana, this is beautiful!! I love the way you did the pine leaves. You are the best!
That is so nice! Thanks! Do you have any topics or suggestions for videos for 2022? I would love to keep making relevant content that you love!
Blending colored pencils is very difficult. You seem to cover everything!
I use inktense as grissaille for watercolor. Have the set of 72 blocks. I think for my level of painting lightfast is overrated. When you sale or teach I can imagine that being different. But I don't do both. Wich is a good thing given covid gave me a two year inspiration block. Is a mom thing. Kindof hard to focus with everyone at home;lol. But I like to use sennelier for wc; due to their layering qualities; but with normal cards or a4 size paintings inktense as underpainting is brilliant. Im picky when it comes to paper. Giveaways are done on hahnemuhle expression paper or arches. Normal cards usualy the canson xl aquarelle. I dont expect them to endup in a museum or gallery nor is that my goal :P
Grissaille is a great idea for these inktense! I’ll have to try that!
@@LanaGloschatArt Its brilliant due to not smudging. Grissaille in warm, cool underpainting in brown, yellow or blue in tone on tone, i specialy like that with gouache. But for a bigger piece im one of them pesky purists. For practise its a mear conveniance; underpainting does the shading job.
Does Gamsol work instead of water? To make it archival
NO! when using water soluble pencils be sure to only use water. You can use Gamsol to blend traditional colored pencils.
I’m a beginner so I just want to get better at drawing and blending, and also to not get discouraged if it doesn’t turn out right.. Thanks so much for all the tips and also the opportunity to be a part of the giveaway!! *Tamberly Stephenson* P.S. Happy Holidays!!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Lana, quite frequently you mention about "notes below" in your videos. I have yet to locate these so called "notes below". ????. Exactly where are these located?
You can find notes by clicking on the video description near the title. I often leave resources and materials there.
