Fun fact re: angry Christmas gnomes! Those "gonk" gnomes that are super popular at Christmas are called Nisse in Denmark, and their job is to beat up people who don't celebrate appropriately. It makes me laugh whenever I see them now, imagining these furious little gnomes attacking, Goosebumps style.
As someone who absolutely cannot wrap my head around colour temperatures, any stuff about that is wasted on me, but the rest is helpful. Coloured pencil art seems so rare on UA-cam, glad to have found you a few days ago, it is a medium I want to get better at.
The way you colored these give off a holographic optical illusion which is almost trippy when you move the paper around... like at 5:16 my eyes interpret them as holo stickers. It's so fun!! :O
Em, you cracking me up with the "excellent gesture." It's just like the language you have no plans to change. I love watching your videos. Just be you. ❤❤❤
This is an awesome tutorial! Thank you for making it! I've been so inspired to draw log houses, like a log turned into a house not a cabin, lately, but I didn't know how to properly render the logs so I have just been using watercolor washes and leaning into the line work. I'm so excited to whip out my colored pencils and try rendering one of my log houses now!
Oh I love that!!! ❤️ I'm so happy you liked it! And you could even try layering pencils on top of the watercolour because I've seen some people do that and it looks so nice!
DEATH BECOMES HER is such a GREAT movie, okay, i saw that movie a few times between 5 & 8 years, then when I was 15, I wanted to watch it with my bestie. i have NOT seen it as an adult, and have actively remembered it's existence lately, will TOTALLY be sharing that disastermasterpiece of a film with my partner soon,, so YAAAAY vibin' brain waves!!
Thank you for sharing your process! I absolutely love your use of color, both in gouache and color pencils. I feel like I colored pencils make me too literal with color choices, it’s so inspiring to see how you think outside the box with all those fun neons! ❤
I just found your channel, and I have never seen a colorist using Holbein as their regular. I think they are a very misunderstood formula, but because they are *the* Holbein, a lot of artists have them but never use them. I am so glad I found you.
Love this video and your work! just looked up the cost of holbein colored pencils and I think I'm gonna have to practice quite a bit before I can justify the purchase for myself 😅
Agree with not needed super fancy colored pencils, I use random brands and they work fine! In fact better? My issue with prismacolor is they break A LOT while sharpening! I also don’t use color pencil as much anymore because it was my first medium when I started my artistic journey (years ago) and now I get fatigue in my wrist easily, so painting is my go to 😅
Do you know any colouring pencils that would be good for adding highlights/lighter colours onto alcohol markers? Loved the video btw, your art inspired me to try traditional art again :)
Yeah I like prismacolor and holbein, but if you want a really light highlight you could try pastel pencils. They may need a fixative over top but they look cool as highlight on markers😁
Do you find the color pencils allow your brain to go on auto pilot after you get past the learning curve? I've been a long-time fan. Color pencils feel safer to me than many other mediums out there. Like you said, they can be erased if needed.
Sure! When the colours are less saturated, they seem greyer and not a bright( I don't really want to use the word bright but I'm not sure what else to use) I don't mean lighter or darker, I mean more packed with colour. Sorry if I didn't explain well from the start there, I'll try to explain better in another video forward😁 I sometimes am using the word "saturated " in relation to another colour its beside, so the colour I'm talking about may not be the most saturated ever, but is more saturated than the "greyer" or more toned down colour. I hope this helps!

I love this idea and em would do great with some aggressive gnomes 😅
You are literally my favorite art UA-camr. Your style is so cute and unique and your commentary is the best, the sense of humor is great 😂
Aww thank you so much I'm honored!

I am mesmerized by your mastery of colours. It looks so alive and magical 😍✨

You make colored pencils look so dreamy!!💕

The first pencil I heard the color as “pork” and thought that’s a funny name but ok. Later I realized it was “cork” but couldn’t unhear the first lol
Hahahahah 😂

Wonderful Em, I loved every second of this video, thanks so much.
Aww thank you! I'm so happy you liked it!
Very helpful information. It was nice seeing the actual process rather than just being told to do a bunch of light layers. Great job! ❤
...and your voice over [edit narrating] was spot on.
Your drawing videos are so good!
ive clogged a few of my ink pens recently as ive been experimenting more and more with colored pencils lol. thanks for sharing your art/insight.
Yay colored pencils tiiiiime
So not only is this sketch page 🔥, but the real time dialog worked out fantastic! I know you were worried but you really did great.
YESSSSSS!! Reflected light!!!!! Thank you for that explanation. I get it. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thankyou for the real time sesh. It's helped me understand better. Love this tree. Love the whole spread. ❤
That was sooo helpful and explanatory and full of important information about layering. Thanks so much!
I love this page so much !!!😊🎃 👻

"Your creativity shines through at 4:50! I’m so inspired! 🌈💖"
Little gnome giving the finger 😂
Yes! Loved Death Becomes Her!
So good!
I need stickers of ALL your work made these last few weeks 😍
Love this video and your work! just looked up the cost of holbein colored pencils and I think I'm gonna have to practice quite a bit before I can justify the purchase for myself 😅
Yeah they are on the pricey side, but prismacolor is a good alternative!
1:19 That cut off was so funny
Thank you very much Em 🥰
Thank you! Super helpful!
I'm happy it helped!!

Another amazing video. Big fan over here. May I ask what do you use for recording, do you use your phone or do you have a professional camera?

Wow just in time, yesterday I went outside to draw trees from life and my drawings were a disaster hehe
Where is the skechbook from please ?
Royal talens!
Coloring book. Please please PLEASE AHHHHH
loved your reasons for the way you pick colors. I have a question: are those bright/neon colors in the basics set or the pastels?
Thanks! Most of them are, the neon orange is from prismacolor but I believe the rest are holbien

how long do you usually warm up
yayyyy
Noooo! You cut out re-inking part😭
Thank you for your videos though 🤓
I’m a hooooo ho HO. For colored pencils….
I want to buy the 500 colored pencil set from kalour *drool* …never mind I have 12 other sets.
Can you explain saturation a bit more? Do you mean it as a synonym for a dark color?
Sure! When the colours are less saturated, they seem greyer and not a bright( I don't really want to use the word bright but I'm not sure what else to use) I don't mean lighter or darker, I mean more packed with colour.

@@emrouleauartYes, that does help, particularly “packed with color.” That seems to nail it - thanks!
