    Ooooh look who’s back with another video! I love sketching with colored pencils especially with polychromos, imo it’s much better than graphite pencils, just makes me fun and harder to erase so i can allow myself to make mistakes more freely 😄

    Two days ago I was doing some portrait studies and I finally pushed myself out of my comfort zone by doing a couple profile views even though I felt intimidated by the idea, but as I did them, I was surprised to find that it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be and they turned out to be my favorites of those studies I did that day. I wouldn’t call them “good” since I’m still a beginner, but it’s giving me the confidence to do more studies so I can improve even more.

    With all the dazzling combinations of color and sophisticated techniques colored pencils can offer, it's easy to forget what a wonderful drawing medium a single colored pencil can be! Smooth, dense color, precise detail, and sensitive gradients- what more could one want? Very nice!

    Jess I so admire your work and your channel. I have struggled with the human figure and portraits. It drives me nuts. I feel so much more comfortable in a landscape. Please please continue these videos. They’re so helpful to me. I would love it if you could break it down a bit more showing us your process. Where you start then where you head next ie head shape, lips? Nose? Eyes? Why in this order? Do you have little tricks that you do for yourself that you could share? Thanks so much again.❤

    I have a really tough time using only one colour. I figured that it is all about pressure variation. Now I know it is also about the swinging of the pencil movement to give a colourful depth with the background. Excellent and helpful tutorial!

    Hullo Jess, I enjoyed this video and hope you continue to create and encourage others with their Art journeys! These sketch's are a tremendous practice session and you make it look so easy! I know with practice everyone can do as well, it is the time spent at the drawing board or sketchbook that tells in finished works as well. Thanks for being so positive and that spark of light missing in so much of the daily detritus we must wade through. Thank You.

    You nailed it again Jess ! And a little tip from me to everyone: You can draw an under drawing with colored pencil ( like grisaille ) in any color you want that will suit the subjects colors, and then glaze over it with other colors. Do the under drawing a little lighter than you would normally though. The drawing will pop out from the page. It takes a little get used to it, but I know you´ll love it.

I am a prediminantly lead pencil artist and have been trying to get into coloured pencil (not just monochrome), but compared to lead I find them really hard to blend and a lot more waxy/hard. I don't want to blame my tools, but do you know if pencil choice would make things easier? I am using an assortment of ones from high school that I kept, maybe some softer ones would help the transition? Love your work and you inspire me a lot!
