"Do not compare your work to anyone else's. The style you develop is uniquely yours and therefore incredible". THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT & INSPIRATION!!!
My family and friends keep belittling me whenever I start colouring. They thought it's only for kids. But I understand that not everyone understand the joy of colouring and making arts. 😃 I came from a poor family. We can't afford coloured pencils back then when I was at school. I'm glad I can now channel my inner love for arts today. Thanks for producing this video to guide clueless newbies like me. 😃😃 Keep on doing this. 😀
I'll tell you something.... colouring using colour pencil greatly enhances your brain and improves your life quality.... yes you heard right ... neuroscience rocks....you are lucky to have found this hobby ...
OKAY couple things 1. You explain things SO well. usually when i watch tutorials the artist does not explain at all what they are doing and leave me more confused than when I started 2. your voice is so soothing this made it so much nicer to listen to
Just bought a new sketch pad and a set of colored pencils. First time I'll use them in like . . . 50 years or so. Thank you for youor instruction, I plan on watching more of your videos to enhance my old / new hobby!
This is the ideo that I should have watched before I picked up a pencil to color. How instructive it was and truly entertaining as well! What a great sense of humor you have!
This is probably my favorite video because it covers the basics of how to color and add depth and character to your coloring. I have colored all my life, but this month just started to try to blend, layer, and advance my coloring. Your videos have helped me a lot! I am doing the giveaway and did share this on my pinterest page, where I have a few other good friends who love to color too!! Thanks so much for posting these tutorials! I really appreciate them!!
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to teach us how to do this! I'm a new owner of a complete set of Derwent Coloursoft pencils and I have never drawn/coloured on a more "professional" level, so I'm having a blast looking at video's and trying things out. Please keep up the good work!
I am an author/illustrator, and I had originally started my work with colored pencils. I switched to digital because I didn't like how my art looked when I scanned it. But recently, I've started to realize that there was nothing wrong with my work, just with my scanner! I'm definitely switching back to colored pencil! Your video made me remember that I love my own work, and never should have drifted away from my own style! Thank you so much!
I have been collecting coloring books and pencils....I thought I was just a hoarding! So happy Covid brought me to you and your videos! I got my books out and organized my pencils and am now coloring! A big thank you!, well done! You are delightful and bring so much joy here in California! I am making up a box for my daughter in law and left a bundle for my next door neighbor who loved it! We are relaxing and coloring and watching you channel!
You explain things so simply and easy to understand, it puts me at ease and doesn’t make me feel nervous or pressured about starting a new medium 😊 very helpful!
Thankyou sooo much i was looking for a tutorial like this for soo long but all of them were way advanced and hard for someone new like me i am so glad i watched this video.
Clear, concise explanations with excellent visual demonstrations. This video has been immensely helpful to me as I am just getting back to drawing after about 50 years (mostly did cartoons at that time) and never used colored pencils before (always either B/W pencil sketches or filled in with marker - which, along with water color I do not like). Although I have stumbled onto each of your main points as I have been drawing, I didn't understand how to properly execute any of the techniques. I simply did things trial and error. Your explanations have put things into perspective. I really enjoy using colored pencils so now knowing the proper how-to will definitely help. Thanks!
Finally a tutorial I can understand! I haven't colored anything since elementary school but I recently ordered a set of colored pencils and an adult coloring book and have been looking to learn the basics
This lady has some skillz - I saw her use her fingernail while blending out with the colorless blender and said “what!”. I rewound the video to see what she did. I’ve never seen anybody else coloring on UA-cam using their fingernail like that to support their pencil. Great technique!!!!!!!!
Colorless blending pencil -- "5:44." Thanks for this info, PencilStash. In my years of drawing, I have never used a colorless pencil, &, frankly, I have either been totally unaware of such, or just never paid it that much attention whenever I may have encountered it in the past. Thanks again.
I'm new to adult coloring and am loving the videos here on youtube that are teaching me that 'adult coloring' can in fact be a great skill to have. I just started and am so excited about it, I find it very relaxing and enjoyable and it helps with my depression and anxiety. Joined your facebook group, nervous to show my work but I'll enjoy getting tips!!!
Rachel, I've been coloring right at a year now and find myself still learning. Your videos have been a great learning tool and seeing other great works of art has helped as well. Can't believe one of my pictures was chosen to be in this one of yours.......guess my learning is starting to show. (FYI: yes you did pronounce my name correct). Thanks for the time you spend in helping/teaching and/or advising others in expanding our coloring ability.
I love the advice you give us. I've been only working with color pencils for a year, and I learned a lot of new things on this video. I am planning to buy new prismacolor pencils pretty soon. Thank you for making this video.
I've been a graphite and charcoal only artist for years and always envied and hated other artists who use color well..I feel like a child right now learning but i have no ego about it and I'm going to learn. This has been very helpful and looking forward to checking out your other vids
This was so useful. I love art and have been doing it for a years (I am 14) however I have been getting in to polychrome pencils and i needed to learn how to make my work better and how to use them properly.This video helped so much ! Thank You !
I've just discovered your tutorials and I love them. I was shading and blending my own way lol now I know the right way. You will be my go to instructor. Thanks again
I'm just starting out and I've been watching a lot of videos on this topic. I must say, this one by far is the best most informative video. It even beats youtubers with millions of subscribers. Thank you so much for the helpful video.
Deserved like! The other videos I watched didn't explain the basics this detailed or at all. Really Gives me a solid foundation to work with. Thankyou!
Great video. I'm just starting out with my art work as therapy for mindfulness and I absolutely love it. I started with colour markers and then glitter gel pens, which I love to use on their own or combine the two. I have just purchased my first set of coloured pencils and have gone for Arteza which I bought from Amazon at a great price. I went for these over the Prismacolour due to the fact that they seem to be selling a lot of fake pencils and have read loads of reviews about the Arteza pencils saying how good they are for a more budget pencil. Can't wait to get them and start colouring!
Thank you for this, it was very useful! I've been using pencils as my main medium in my drawings for years and only just came to the realisation that I have no clue how to blend properly or how to utilise different techniques to get better coverage. This tutorial was very simple and to the point, so I thank you again!
Great video! Just found this channel and I must say more people need to watch this specially beginners..such clear instructions and demonstrations! Am really glad I found this channel! Ty
I love your videos! I'm new to the world of adult coloring, and have become addicted. I find coloring sooo relaxing, and your videos have helped me tremendously in developing my own techniques. Thank you so much!
Teri Honor Hey Teri! A year later? Oh well! I am also in my rookie year of coloring! Addicting? Oh yeah! Relaxing, calming, and addictive! One of my children calls coloring my new Xanxax!
I absolutely loved your video... thank you so much for all your tips and advice. Newcomers like myself really appreciate all the work you and many others like you, put into your videos and blogs and chats. So... thank you for sharing...you make learning fun!
Liked and shared! I think this is a good all-around video to share, it's got all the techniques for bringing up your coloring skills to the next level.
Great tutorial Rachel, i would love to see a tutorial of how to make wonderful Flowers because i really have hard time on shadowing, thank you for these very handy tutorials!
Wanting MORE is the best compliment ever, thank you! This coming Friday's video will be nice and long for you to color along with :) Thanks for watching!
Your work is beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to share these techniques with us. I look forward to seeing more. I am also sharing this video and I liked it (of course) for your vacation give a way. Keep up the good work and enjoy your vacation.
Sometimes I have to look at my artwork to remind myself of how good I really am at coloring but for some reason I continue to look up techniques to make my work better trying to make it better.I layer my colors sometimes and instead of shading from light to dark. I shade from dark to light because it takes entirely to long to go over one spot 5 to 6 times. Everyone's work is different. My coloring is beautiful.
this is very helpful. I keep coming back to this video since I suck at coloring. I hope you make more of these tutorials. I recently watched your giveaway vid and I am choosing this video as my favorite since I like how you teach and that I learned a lot from this video. I shared this on my pinterest!
Oh wow! My 7 prismas and 12 crayolas are like the best ones I have out of any set I got.. And I didnt know you could make more colors with layering. Gonna have fun with that. And now I realized why it was so hard to layer even with my crayola pencils when I applied max pressure!
I do wish you had gone into the different types of color pencils there are. I love to use a wax base color pencil. I'm having trouble finding them now.
So how do you decide what colors to layer and blend? Like with the mandala? The peach and the greens? Thank you for this video, I know I will be coming back to it often.
Check out the PencilStash Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/pencilstash
Excellent tutorial. My kids learn a lot from your videos. You did not mention the paper grade which would also make a difference. No?
This is so good im getting it set as homework.
"Do not compare your work to anyone else's. The style you develop is uniquely yours and therefore incredible". THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT & INSPIRATION!!!
It's so true! Thanks so much for watching!

I'll tell you something.... colouring using colour pencil greatly enhances your brain and improves your life quality.... yes you heard right ... neuroscience rocks....you are lucky to have found this hobby ...
Good for you! Keep going, with your passion. 😊

Just got my first colored pencils for Christmas. Loved this video for beginners.
Good teaching of many techniques. I was watching one where person just said to use circular strokes, but this one points out more things can do.
I loved that blooper at the end, so cute. It made me laugh out loud and rewind so I could watch it again.
All those shares with the soft colors are so lovely....hope to learn to do better making color choices.

Do you have a video/lesson on how to use colored pencils for coloring people (faces, hands, etc)? Thank you.
Great video.. one of the few color pencil tutorials where I could actually see effort and commitment by the creators.
Thankyou sooo much i was looking for a tutorial like this for soo long but all of them were way advanced and hard for someone new like me i am so glad i watched this video.
