- Lawrence Tech professor Gretchen Maricak demonstrated the techniques to render a group of trees using colored pencils. Professor Maricak Sadly passed away on February 6th, 2018. This video will remain as a tribute to her and so she may continue sharing her skills and passion with the world.
Recorded on June 27th, 2013. on an iPhone 4, freehand.
I'm sorry to hear of her passing. This tutorial was super helpful! She will live on in my drawing!
Explanations are extremely helpful as well as tips. I'm a beginner so I need a little more than just watching you do it.
Thank you so much for this, beautiful, simple and so easy to follow. I typically get overwhelmed and feel "oh I can't do that, it looks too hard". Thank you for leaving this up.
Thank you Mr Scott Hill. These trees is so nice and it's very useful for me.
"That is a beautiful tree!"
"Actually there's three of them here."
"...yes..."
What?? (-:
yeah that bothered me too, lol
Thank you for sharing & RIP Professor. This is really helpfull I wish one could get more videos like this 😃
Its really a great tribute for her ❤️
best tutorial ever. pretty easy way and yet so helpful thanks for uploading this, this thing really helps me to draw more realistic looks of trees ❤, I hope you have a tutorial for proper blending of grass in landscaping drawing , thanks so much for this .
awesome tutorial! Clear, precise, great pointers, short and to the point! Thank you!
Simple yet very understandable. Thank you for this!
Genius :D Please do more tutorials
Thank you very much. I will try your wonderful technique!
That was gorgeous, watching you turn a bunch of patches of color into a beautiful collage of leaves in a forest, it was magnificent. Thank you so much! Watching this gave me experience for techniques ^w^ I was using a bad technique :P Perhaps it won't be so hard anymore.
Thanks you. What type of paper are you working on? The trees are really helpful and your teaching style makes it easy to understand.
I believe that was Strathmore, the sketch pad that has a woman's face on the cover
This one was actually helpful, and I really like the way the trees are made (thin branch). Excuse my prof. pic xD!
Thanks for this, very helpful, but I am very dizzy after watching the video, it will be great if the cam can be fixed in one place take the video, no need to move follow the hand. Just a suggestion.
thank you very much, mine turned out amazing! my art teacher loved it :)
"That's a beautiful tree"
"Actually there's three..."
Rekt XD
My 'fire' turned into tree now. Thanks!
Beautiful trees. It will help me in my elevation .thank u so much.
Your works are so creative and have different concept always...for this reason i wait for new video from you..⭕❤⭕
Excellent; very helpful video. Thank you!
What kind of color pencils are you using? I use Crayola. Does it matter which brand you use or will I have the same result?
_That's_ exactly what I'd truly needed for!😃
Awesome, just what i needed. Indigo is good because it represents "black" which actually does not exist in nature. The only time you get black is if you are in a vacuum in space...good render man, wish me LUCK with mine lol. I'm a 3D generalist. ;)
I wasn't too happy about how much the camera was moving.. But all in all it was a great video and I actually learned quite a lot from it! Thanks!
you are so good. I always find it hard to use the pencil colour for painting as it barely give the tone ( light to solid). But I bought a lot of them. So now I can try to use it. Thanks
I used this technique in painting a tree and it looks very very good
very informing, but it would have been nice to know the prisma numbers you are using ?
What brand or type of color pencils did you use ???
Wow this helped alot. :D thanks now i know how to colour trees.
Ahm, I just wanted to know, what brand of color pencils are you using? Coz I'm finding the best quality and i don't know what to buy. That would mean a lot to me. Thanks.
This is was helpful, thank you.
Thank you ...this is so helpful!
Thanks a zillion Mr Scott... This is quite a knowledge. could you also recommend a colour pen?
What colors did you used?
nice work, thanks !
Excellent! Thank you
Wow, really nice and helpful, thank you!
Thanks a ton
Really cool! Thank you!
Great but it would be very useful to give us the name of each color used - Indigo was the only one mentioned. Nevertheless, it is a very useful tutorial. Thank you.
i love color pencils! lovely vídeo ;)
Thankyou ! It really helped me .
I can't can say how beautiful it was xtually i have to in a drawing competition and i also have drawing in my school
So simple yet so effective
Only one clip?
Thank you so much! this is very helpful :)
Thank you so much ☺☺☺
In most of books or tutorials about polychrome pencil the first step es with the darkest color and the second step is with the middle color or mayble con middle pressure. If I start with the step add dark value and then with the middle value, have any problem?
Luis Daniel Gomez Loayza I think that whatever works for you is good. Like you, I usually work light to dark, or dark to light, but now I'm going to try a picture starting with the middle value, just to see how I like it.
Thanks!
Very useful. Thanks!
Its so cool,benefit a lot,thanks so much!
Which brand pencil colors you are using?
@ lucina decena: They are PRISMACOLOR wax based colored pencils.
Right, as I previously stated
This is great. you should do more vids!
thanks for the video!! 'twas a great help
Amazing
nice,it is difficult for me to draw trunk and branches to make them look more natural and balance
Thank you!
Thanks a lot ! you really help me 💕😘
Buen video, y entendible ya que dividió los pasos, al igual que las instrucciones para mejor comprensión.
So nice ..Thank you so much...
thank you verrry much..
would really love to learn more.
does this work with all kinds of trees? cherry blossoms for example?
it could, just find the different shade of same color family.
Thank you. May I just suggest to place the camera somewhere steady next time as the moving around was a bit disturbing. Great job by the way!
Thanks, very useful
This is amaaaaziiiing
thank you this was very helpful
amazing!!!!
How one holds pencils makes strokes different.
thank you its very nice
like your videos!!! ;D
畫樹
可以參考他的技法跟配色
架構蠻詳細的
beautiful :O
Holy shit Scott, this got a ton of views
what is the paper that you are using for cp trees?
It'll work on any kind of paper. Water color paper seems to work best for me because it provides texture to the trees themselves and makes them more realistic. But that's just me.. You could use any kind of paper you'd like. Even a canvas would work (-:
I am just a learner and a bit scared of coloured pencils , but one day I will get the courage , thankyou for responding to me .
You're very welcome!
Beverley Gardam I would avoid any sort of shiny paper - it doesn't take cp very well. As for the courage, just go for it, and use any mistakes to learn from. You don't have to show anyone! Even better, some "mistakes" will actually produce a cool effect which might be exactly what you want in a different picture. I'm just a beginner too. I have about half a sketchbook filled with, not pictures, but just practising laying down colour with different types of strokes, graduating from light to dark, one colour to another, and coloured-in doodles. Give yourself permission not to be perfect first time! Good luck...
I have stongehenge canson mi_ tienes tex and other drawing papers , thankyou for your help , I will give it a go . bev .
She used Prismacolors. She prefers Prismas or Derwents
Great trees, but I think I'm getting dizzy.
very nice
cool... thx.
Do more videos!
go ahead and stay like that, I like your activities, because I like and I am entertained watching you guys, and I like all your channels,... greetings from Indonesia, and because I have many shortcomings, so I ask for your support and guidance for the development of my channel my friend... I pray for you my friend... I hope you stay healthy, so you can continue to do activities... keep it up always to give birth to new things, I like your activities, friend. keep it up, and keep making videos like that. go ahead
I'm only into one minute of your video and like i;, I wish you would go through the first 5 steps step by step. Just to show them quickly doesn't give us the gist of how you are doing things,
Thanks
LKT
are you trying to be funny or just impatient?
Neither sir,
I would just like to learn to draw step by step as I have never had the time before. Since becoming disabled, I have lots of time to learn. But for me it is a slow process.' So I guess impatient would be the word, I like to watch things such as this in series.
Please, I meant no offense.
Best Regards,
LKT
but it shows step by step later on in the video. thats what i meant by impatient. watch to the drawing a forest bit. it is the best tutorial i have seen so far.
regards
Tq sir
👍
Im copying wallpapers from no mans sky for fun and this might help me with the dang trees
nice drawing, useful tips, but world be better if you put on some music
ill never draw like this😧😧😧😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
Believe! You loyal...
the problem is if you don t have those specific type or colors and exactly type or pencils it wont look good ...'if you have only a generic set of pencils it wont work
also that specific type of paper
So u mean i can't do this tree unless i have at least 3 shades of green... 😔
step one is have high quality colored pencils. The wrong materials will always lead to a bad experience for novice artists.
No separation between the trees.... You can't pick a particular individual tryy... The effect is more bush like, with three trunks... The piece looks so-so--I prefer lost and found edges, so that each tree is an individual.... That is a mass of color....
Thanks for the comment. What Professor Maricak uses this technique for mostly is trees in the background of a drawing of a building. This helps to put a building in context, without overwhelming it.
Thats cool, but not if the forrest is part of the main subject. I'm a watercolorist, who uses colored pencils in my work, so I understand how she uses the trees for background.... Still to have some of the trees individualized, you can create so much more depth. She would have to create more shadow, or actually create textures in the two side trees, so that the third tree receedes into the painting. By using shadow to shape, she could also create more form in the trees and painting, and make it look less flat, the trees would also cast shadows, grounding them more into the work, especially if they are being lit by the light. The shadows would reflect the direction of the light as well
Maybe is her style against yours, doesn't make it wrong, what i can see here is more like how an architect would design a tree ( i am one), either way, you can tell there's a forest there...
depth perception...aerial perspective, 2 point perspective, if you want to get technical. All he is showing is technique on how to color.
Rendering trees using colored pencil...
I cannot see what you're doing because the camera isn't aimed at the drawing. Apparently you can't see the forest for the trees.
lol, i dont think the forest looked nowhere as good as the tree xD
could u tell me the name of the color pencil ?
rubaiat jahan mauly They look like Prismacolors.
get a new camera man.
awesome tutorial! Clear, precise, great pointers, short and to the point! Thank you!
nice,it is difficult for me to draw trunk and branches to make them look more natural and balance
