      White pencil still works but it creates a different effect. It lightens any colors you use so it'll blend great but only if you're blending for the purpose of getting a lighter finish.
      Colorless blenders are pretty cheap. It also works better in distributing the pigment evenly. Great for burnishing and after you blend you'll have to add another layer.
      You can also blend with a similar hue. Different methods achieve different things so it's good to have different tools at your disposal

      And art class (usually together with P.E and music )in Chinese school are often been replaced by main subject(language, math, psychics, chemistry etc). Just one time out art teacher does not get sick( most common excuse for those main subjects took over these classes) and she was teaching Anime and Celluloid so she played spirit away on our class time and gave us a HW just draw an anime character.

    @Carlita7054 4 роки тому +63

    Burnishing to me is the easiest and smoothest! Layering often leaves a lot of white spots, colorless blenders don’t work as well with darker colors, solvent can damage paper, saturation and tonal burnishing are good unless you don’t want to change the colors and powder blenders to me are a little difficult. Everyone has their preferred methods tho!

    Why is this channel so underated? I love this tutorial! Thank you! Maybe for your next video you can show an example for each technique on a drawing. Also how to color skin and hair with prismacolors specifcally basic skin colord to layer with and then advancing your drawings by adding blues, reds, greens and purples

    Hello Mr Unmask. I just thought you should know...
    Been watching videos on blending colored pencils, (they're helpful by the way), but most of the time, I end up scratching my head when I try it myself (frustrated that result's different). Not a pro in art, but Im willing to learn & take baby steps to get there. Then I saw this video... the layering, the pressure in hand, different types (surprisingly) of burnishing, advice on being patient... suddenly, I understand more clearly. Big thanks to your fine way of explaning simply (filled with essential info) & demonstrating easily (with emphasis & precision on what to learn/adopt). Its encouraging, and not intimidating especially to a trying-hard like me. Thanks again & hope you'll encourage more non-pro trying-hard's like me to get into the habit of art too. More power to your art & teaching skills. 😘

    I took a year in art class, and I learned things like layering, burnishing and stippling as I went from only drawing stick people to more advanced things like vases, skulls and fruits. My art teacher was great and taught me a lot, but I only took that for a year and could definitely use more practice lol. I'm still basically a noob here and feel stuck not being able to get the desired textures I want, so this is great. Thanks so much!! :D

    Yes...this is great. You did a great job with it. Something to also consider is when you start the video start it with a question. Like this one you could do “are you new to color pencil and want to learn how to blend? I have 7 tips just for you coming up...and then go into your intro. This will give them something to agree with and make the viewer feel they will get value because you are answering their question. Just an idea, it’s up to you. You could also do something like 6 tips and then ask then to stay tuned for a bonus tip at the end...this helps keep,the viewer longer because they want to know what that bonus tip is.
    Ideas...I have lots..but here’s a couple
    Tips on working through burnout
    Tips on how to get started when you just don’t feel inspired
    Tips on how to be more creative with your art
    Tips on composition and layout
    I could go on but here are a few. We should sit down and brainstorm one day 😉. Could come up with some very interesting things I think.
