Thank you for this video, but can you do a special video on how to color and combine them? Thank you❤❤❤❤
This is super helpful! I do a lot of crafting kind of across the board, and drawing with colored pencils stumped me a lot more than I expected!
Colored pencil artist here. Your video is spot on.

Really helpful advice, especially the colour swatches idea. I have a good many pencils of various types as I am starting out trying my hand at using colour for the first time in years (like since the 90s!). Having a visual reference for choosing colour is a simple. but brilliant idea. That's my Sunday evening sorted! Here's to the next vid.
Agree with all, but the swatches idea. When I first started coloring, not quite, but almost 8 years ago, I kept seeing one after another UA-camr stating that color swatches was a must. I kept resisting it, but after a year give or take, I decided that since so many were saying it was a must, that maybe there was something to it. So, I started on the few sets I had, starting with my two cheapest sets I had and used quite a bit. I got two of the five sets I had (and still have) done and I was done. I found it boring and for me I was of the mind that I would rather color than waste time swatching and the thing is, for me personally, it really was a waste of time. I pulled those swatches out MAYBE 2-3 times (at the most) a year. If I am not 100% sure about a color or a combination, I will just do a quick “swatch” of them on an additional piece of the type of paper that I am using. But a lot of time, that isn’t even necessary. I guess it comes down to “each their own”.
Yes it comes down to personal preference. I do find them useful, I do swatch sheets and then I put them up on my wall like a mural so I can look at them without any effort. They are useful to pick my colors for a drawing without having to swatch a ton of things to see what the real color is
Agreed! I have done swatches, but mainly as a way to play with and catalogue my colors. I never use the swatches for reference.
I agree with you and RitaWilbur6128. In addition to coloring pencils I also use watercolor media and this is really when I find swatch charts useful, because frequently concentrated water soluble pigment looks very different when activated/diluted with water.
I have been a colored pencil educator for a while and I have never made swatch books or taught swatching out all colors - I find its helpful to swatch for practice when you are mixing more than one color together or to practice a technique, but not necessarily for reference. If you are laying down color lightly and you don't like the color I say, grab another one. This keeps the process more fun and organic than clinically looking for the exact right color. I did however just swatch a set of markers because the caps were totally different than the colors and a marker doesn't really lay down light and soft like a pencil. Its interesting how we all have different approaches :)
Thanks for sharing your tips
Hi Gemma! I’m very new to your channel. This video was so helpful for a beginner. Thank you so much.
Not a beginner but I absolutely so make some of these mistakes. I'm extremely impatient. I get so much wax bloom with prismacolors because of how hard I go in
