    I love how you color your portraits because it's pastel but with a wide range of values! But, please check your sponsor because they currently have issues and controversies. I hope you'll look into it 😊

  • @breadandbutteraudio

    It's always exciting to see those darker values get layered on, so cool, the final portrait just shines. I learn something new in every video! 🔥🔥🔥

    @frannie68 7 місяців тому +15

    I loved what you said about not worrying so much about color matching. Personally, I like to really limit my palette of colored pencils (just grabbing a handful), that way I don't always have the right colors but can focus on values and line work. Also, your nails were so so pretty here, that polish is to die for!!

    with color a rule of thumb is that as long as it works in black & white you can use any color you want!
    Value gives all the info needed, color is just the atmosphere

    • @emhuesart

    This is exactly the kind of content I've been looking for. I got off UA-cam for a while because I felt that artists were gate keeping, and putting other artists down, but you have such a beautiful channel, and such a lovely personality. Your portraits are clearly full of love and appreciation, and you helped me to remember some of the parts of art that I love and haven't focused on lately. Enjoying the beauty of unique features and thinking how fun it is play with those features. Thank you,

    This video is absolutely amazing!! It is exactly what I was looking for, because I struggle with colored pencils. Thank you so much for creating this! I watched a similar colored pencil portrait video by Chris Hong, but unfortunately it was a short, and I nearly drove myself crazy trying to follow along.
    So, thank you thank you!! You are so very talented!!

    • @emhuesart

    Very helpful that you have gone to the trouble of making this video tutorial. Reading a book on coloured pencils is not the same as having someone walk you through it. I feel after watching this the next step is very much to practice. Blending seems to be the hardest challenge. But I will see in my next portrait if I am getting better at slowing it down and layering.

    You are very skilled and you have plenty to offer in terms of creating art videos on youtube. I mean, have you seen a lot of the art on here? LOL. I really like hearing your thoughts on which direction to hatch and how you do shape design. That was the first thing I noticed about your colored pencil portraits, and it even shows up in your gouache paintings I think. It's a very unique aspect of your art. Great video!

    I don’t have access to col-erase, but have noticed my watercolor pencils are mostly erasable. I always use a colorful sketch and it’s been fine. At least worth a shot to try it!
    I also, for some reason prefer using watercolor colored pencils even without adding water. Maybe it prevents me from going too vibrant too early lol

    • @emhuesart
