I love that you can talk through color but not through ink. This composition screams at the Sunday Comix lover in me, that feeling of definite colors, and the broad black lines. Verrrrry interrrrrrresting....🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, Linda! Yes, when I ink I put much more thought into it. 😂 Glad you enjoyed this! 🙂
I always love watching your videos, I haven't used markers yet. I know I must be living under a rock!
Thank you! There's always something else to try. You'll get there. 🙂
I like the painting you did with the markers. It’s very interesting. It’s lots of fun watching you paint and listening to your rants…love the way they hop from here to there, but, “Don’t worry about it”.. YOU make me smile and I LOVE these videos….
I named this one…. “Reflections of mother and child”.
That's a deep idea. I like it. Glad you enjoy these Denise! 🙂
I’d like the markers. 😊
Oh wow, you’re going to give away the markers….that’s awesome!!! Pete, this really helps me with composition. I struggle with it sometimes. Thank you for the instruction. I too like to know what my composition is ….Often it runs off on it’s own 😮 OMG
I like the way the markers seem to cover well…may have to try some markers, I have used white ones .
Composition is often all I think about. Even if I don't have a specific composition in mind I am always thinking about how to resolve the shapes so they are pleasing to my eye. And sometimes mine run off the rails too. No big deal. I enjoy the whole process. 🙂
lol I know how easy it is to forget which colours one just used! When I was worked on the commission I mentioned below, I bound my chosen colours up with a rubber band. It helped so much. :)
That would've helped. 👍🏻
Slightly used markers with caps mixed? A dream come true 😍😂.
Pretty cool drawing!
Thanks. 😂
Hi, Pete. Great video and composition advice. I wasn’t sure about your abstract piece when I first saw it in the thumbnail, but it grew on me as I watched you compose it. 😊 And, yes, I would love to explore my creativity with those markers! I won!
I wasn't so sure about it while I was doing it. It had to grow on me too. 😂 👍🏻
Love the live piece! It’s kind of like Jersey cow meets peacock. 🐄🦚
Like the peacock was going too fast and hit the cow? 😂
Thanks Lori! I appreciate you. 🙂
@@IllustrationsByPete lol Peacock beef stew. 😂
😂
Regarding composition, I don't always know what I want to do either. Most of the time, I just start somewhere and go from there. Other times, I decide before I start, such as making it centered and linear (made a drawing that went from the bottom left corner to the upper right corner and a different one that was horizontal, and all just to see what it would look like).
That's a good way to start. 🙂
I never thought about composition before. Perhaps that's where I've gone wrong. 😅 I'm a total armature. But I have fun.
Fun is a big part of it. You have to have fun. Give the composition a try. See if it helps. 🙂
@@IllustrationsByPete so I have put some thought into this. And I guess at least sometimes I do think about composition. I often use the rule of third but didn't realize that was a type of composition. I often place what I'm drawing(doodling) diagonal across the page. . I found a little reference for types of composition. Now I want to try them all. Lol
It's kind of like how a person who can't read music and doesn't know music theory (all me) can still write a song. The only reason the theory is there is because that is what is pleasing to look at so an artist naturally creates in that way. The art came first. 👍🏻
I would love to have some markets. You are very generous, thank you. I enjoy your sense of humor
Thank you! I'm glad I can make you smile. 🙂
Love this demo! I've used alcohol based markers recently to colour in a drawing of mine. A friend commissioned me to take one of my black and white drawings and infuse it with colour. Through trial and error, I finally figured out the colour scheme-- I'll share the image on your website soon.
Also, I have used the markers on regular canvas that one would normally paint on, acrylic or otherwise. It was need to see how well it worked for me (I guess I can share that one on the website, as well, lol).
The ink does bleed through most paper, so having something under the paper to keep other blank paper safe is important.
A contest?
By the way, the paper I'd used was a thicker paper from a Staples store's copy center since I'd made a few prints of my original drawing. Funny thing is is that I then took the final coloured in version and had a few enlarged prints of that.
I enjoy using markers, I just wish they didn't fade as easily as they do. I bought some watercolor markers that use some more normal pigments for that reason but I find they are not as smooth as the alcohol markers. I'd love to see more of your work. 👍🏻
Woooohoooo. Marker giveaway!!!! Yeah!!! 😊 I woukd love those msrkers
Alcohol marker is tied with watercolor for my favorite art supply. I wonder how Hotu compares with some of the other brands, especially at about half the price? I have a 36 pack of Copics, and then about 200 other markers, mostly Ohuhu, and I'm fairly certain Copic is the only brand that color matches caps and it isn't worth the price difference to me lol. Ohuhu is starting to carry open stock as well so maybe other brands like Hotu do too. My most favorite thing is you can use alcohol marker and watercolor together without either moving the other on the paper! Extra cool glazing effects, just watch out with using really absorbent paper because it'll suck the markers dry (which is much less painful at Hotu prices than Copic prices)
Copics are ridiculous. Especially with all the others that do a great job. I have never put alcohol marker and watercolor together. I've used pigment marker and of course watercolor markers. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!
I do start with composition. Love your style of art and how you teach. Thank you for the chance to win the markers.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy these.
I would love the markers!❤
Pete! I wish more artists shared their methods as well as you do! I would love to enter your giveaway
And you’re hilarious! I look forward to your videos. They are not only informative but a great stress reliever too
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them. 🙂
thank you for sharing. for me during my art i consider the composition first, not in the exact way you do it. I do use the rule of third, but i layout where i want my characters and objects in my piece. I do more illustrative art, my art is very cartoony.
Thank you! Composition and contrast are the 2 most important things for me. With characters, it's very important to compose the scene. Sounds like you have a handle on it. 👍🏻
Hey Pete! Please send me those markers. 😁 Thanks for the composition techniques!
Hey, I’d love those markers. I’m exploring negative painting and markers would be a great tool to play with for that.
Great video on composition!
The left half looks like a knee x ray. I just had a tkr two weeks ago, so everything looks like a knee joint to me, lol. 😎
Muscles and joints are big inspirations for my art. 👍🏻 I hope you feel better.
Thanks for your insights on composition of your painting process. Did I understand you right: this giveaway is only for people from the USA? So when I’m from Germany I’m not allowed to participate, am I? Anyway, I like your videos and it doesn’t matter even if I can’t participate in the giveaway 😊 watching you paint is always a source of encouragement and inspiration for me… so thanks man and keep going ❤🎉
Thank you! Yeah, unfortunately it would cost more to ship them then they are worth. Sorry. I'll figure out an international giveaway soon.
@@IllustrationsByPete great I'd love to hear about lessons learned in this topic. all the best for you Pete, see you in the next video 🙂
Hi Pete, I enjoy your videos a lot and send them to my son too. Love your sense of humor too! I would love the markers!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy these. 🙂
PS once I entered a contest from Mind of Watercolor and many of us got scammed. So I quit entering until now. Haha lucky you, I forgot about it till just now.
That's not cool. I'm sure Steve had nothing to do with that. He's a pretty straight shooter. I'll make sure anything I do is on a video so you know it's really me. 👍🏻
I appreciate that. No, Steve was very upset that it happened. But, in fairness, we fell for the scammer and didn’t follow Steve’s instructions for how he would notify us. So not his fault at all. And I learned my lesson.
Very interesting. I wondered how you do your drawings and what's behind the idea of them. ❤
I'm so used to doing them that I forget to share that sometimes. I need to work on that. Thanks! 🙂
Composition is super important to me but I don't do abstract often so I normally start with a dumb idea (like a deer skull on a man's body, his name is Deerek), and then use composition to Try to make it work (the moon is silhouetting Deerek's head). Now I have to try it the other way 'round.
I'd like to see Derek. He sounds like a nice guy. Dead, but nice. 🙂
@@IllustrationsByPete I'll have to post him on your website 😁
Absolutely 👍🏻
Hmmm…that’s a lilac, not purple…sorry, but I do like how you showed the composition element in your paintiings-so many good ideas!
Thank you Anna! You could be right. 🙂
Usually I have a rough plan of what I want to draw or paint but I allow myself to deviate from that first idea. Alternatively I sometimes just color in something someone else drew, like a coloring book. After having watched you "play" with the markers I feel the need to use mine - before they dry out 🙂 It's a shame that so many scammers are out there that you'll have to make an extra video to announce the winner 😞 I see that quite often, some "telegram" channel with a name reminding of the channel's name but a tiny bit off, I believe it's easy to fall for that if you aren't "suspicious by nature". Just to be sure: I DON'T want the markers - I have to use the ones I have and I'm not based in the US 😁 Thank you for the video 🥰
I think it's so frustrating when I have art supplies I enjoy, like markers, and I go to use them and they are dried or expired. I've had that happen with pens, markers, and even some watercolor paper where the sizing went bad. I need to use my markers more. 👍🏻
@@IllustrationsByPete Yeah, I just checked all my pens and got rid of the ones I couldn't refill. I have no idea why I got them all in the first place, I guess I did some "retail therapy" 🤣 Nowadays I just enjoy using my stuff, the outcome isn't important. Having expensive paper get bad is really frustrating. I now only buy what I need and use the old paper for making collage paper or something like that.
I need to go through a bunch of stuff. I dread the result. It's because I'm an artsupplyaholic. I have a problem. That's a great idea for the paper. 👍🏻
I would love to get these markers 😊 (but I'm not from the USA). Have you ever tried Roman Szmal's Aquarius watercolors or Renesans Intense watercolors?
They are both on my list. RS is first. I love the way they look. 👍🏻
@@IllustrationsByPeteI have 63 colors from Aquarius 😅 (not that I need all of them) and only 26 from Renaissance. I really love all of them and they are both from my country so they are not as expensive as some other brands
That is a lot to choose from. 😂
