5 months of drawing now and I'm catching up to you Kirsty. At age 41 I've learned that I can draw. It still blows my mind.
All your tips have been very helpful.
IKR
I'm 57 now and started a few years ago. I had never drawn in my life before and my friends and family are amazed by what I've drawn. Many people think that there's some sort of magic behind it, but anyone can draw...it just takes LOTS of patience and a passion for it.
Congratulations don't stop one sees more progress on month no. 16-28
wow you guys are old.
Jeff C you really never drew for 50 years
Good job with your drawing
I am surprised at the low number of views.That Kingfisher is beautifully drawn and coloured.
I know right💯
It might be because it is so good it's intimidating as a how to vid lol
Really it's looking awesome...
I wouldn't call nearly 400K views a "low number."

I have started using colour pencils recently as a hobby, and your videos inspire me so much. It's so relaxing to watch you develop a piece of art, and I wish to reach this level some day 🥺
Oh, this is too funny and perfect!
After sifting through many bird photos on Google, I settled on one, sketched it out and decided I want to use it to work on my coloured pencil techniques. I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now, and always really appreciate your work and what you have to say. So I started watching a playlist of your coloured pencil videos, and don't I land on this one - we worked from the exact same reference photo! Perfect! Couldn't have been a more helpful video! :P
Lol I apologize for the rambling comment. I just love these moments that remind me how connected we all actually are, especially in these funny, neat little ways!
Much love from Canada! Wishing everyone good health!
Dear jessica,
Do you remember where to find that picture or which one it was? Thank you in advance :)
We have belted kingfishes in my part of the world. I used to live on the coast, in a house on a bay, right in an area where a lot of waterfowl spent their winters...there were so many birds of all kinds - kingfishers, herons, eagles, swans, and ducks, ducks, ducks. I had my drawing table set up so that I had a good view of the water, and binoculars handy. The kingfishers were my favorites to watch. These English kingfishers, they must be so beautiful to see, with those bright turquoise feathers.
love how vibrant the colours ended up and as a bird owner I am impressed how little work is actually needed in the feathers to make a realistic-looking bird~
Kirsty's graphite drawing tutorials have illuminated so much. So have her watercolor tutorials. She is wonderfully talented and her voiceovers well-augment her work.
Having just posted a comment - I want to add the note that animals are favorite subjects.
Kirsty's talent spans far and wide.lbfrom animals to people, etc.
Thank you.
Kristy, thank you so much for these tutorials. You're awesome. Drawing has kept me sane during this whole pandemic. This video has been super helpful.
This was one of the most helpful colored pencil videos I've watched. Thank you so much!
You not only have the talent and knowledge but the ability to teach in a beautiful clear voice. Quite a rare combination. Thankyou.
Love your image btw.....I have done this type of bird in Ink and coloured pencil from my own refs. I had one sit for me for literally an hour or more...very lucky x
Hah that's too cool!
This is a masterpiece!
Thank you so much for this, I have since attempted a Babbler using this method and was pleased with the result (by my standards)
Beautifully done and so realistic! I love it!
Wow!! You have the best tutorials and art. Thank you!
I wish you are my art teacher
Everytime i search for drawing art, i always stumble on your videos. I think it means that you are brilliant!
wow, hermoso, genial, muy realista, excelente obra de arte, felicidades
You are an excellent artist and teacher
I enjoy your technique. You are an inspiration... especially for one.
(to finish my comment: especially for one at 81
Love this video tutorial ❤️ instead of using colored pencils I think that I would try it with pen and ink wash then adding water colors ❤️❤️❤️
wonderfuullll!!!
So gorgeous! I have no confidence to even try this but I'm so inspired none the less! Beautiful work x
I hope you gained the courage to try this! 😊
Love this video Kirsty absolutely awesome excellent tips and techniques. Amazing video you are a wonderful artist
Thank you very much, I am happy that you found it helpful :)

the portrait is really exquisite, i just wanted to point out a lil detail
the top and body is gr8 , but the leg can have some work and even though its standing on a bark r a branch
the branch too can have some work done, as only those parts might be ruining ur masterpiece .
i tried it with ur video, and i just noticed it .
BTW it looks damm good.....
i love it dear😁😘
Beautiful work Kirsty. TY for sharing ❤️
hello Kirsty, have you thought about doing a fish? like ppl who always show animals fur or feathers, but never scales of a fish or reptile. maybe a goldfish or some of our natural course fish like rudd or roach, they are beautiful. it would be a good idea for nature drawers, loved this kingfisher BTW really helped me out and give me confidence when I try it myself ;) x
Good idea, I will definitely be doing some reptiles soon :D and I am so glad you have now got more confidence!
Large mouth bass!
I would to see an goldfish or beta fighting fish in colour pencil
Yea she should do a dolphin fish aka Mahi mahi
Your drawing is very real and creative. It makes me curious.
Really helpful. Thank you 🎨
Beautiful work I 5think I learned the most from you ...should be a teacher ...
woaaah.. so beautiful and detailed. Just beautiful..
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!❤
Sensacional adoro sua arte. Parabéns
Absolutely amazing
That's fabulous !!!
Thanks for all your tips! I’m following your method and it’s very helpful.
Ahhh. Now I understand thank you Kirsty 👏👏
*💙 the depth in all of your vids/art!* 👍😎🍺🍻🍺
Thank you
So beautiful. Your colors are awesome
Beautiful
Amazing picture:)
Thank you so much for teaching us with these much detail.
I'm a professional artist, mainly use acrylic colours. But recently I bought some colour pencil, as I wanted to explore and challenge my abilities but I was very nervous. Then I came across your channel and found this video and I followed everything you told step by step and it came out gorgeous 😘 I just can't believe that it came out so well and people also loved it.
Thanks againg, keep making videos, best wishes and love from India ❤️
Where can i see your work?
i think i found the reference photo - this is super accurate!!!
Awesome 👏
Kristy, I really appreciate the level of detail in both your technique and the narration. You're gifted and doing some beautiful work.
It’s so beautiful😍 Thank you!
I like the way you explain ... it’s perfect thanks 🙏
Thanks
Just wonderful... Thankyou!
Wowww
Sou apaixonada pelas suas aulas.
That is so incredible
Well, I came here out of an interest to try colored pencil. When it comes to drawing I’ve only done pencil works portraits and such. I will say the one tip you have given on blending with solvent, I only have paint thinner on hand and the brand of pencils is amazon 120 pencil set for 23.00 and they blend great. Thanks for the tips.
this drawing is so lovely!
I draw along with your videos and it looks great and I am a 7year old
Pretty! Great job!
Rayo Jesson yes
Amazing Kristy
You are one of my favorite artists. Thank you, so very, much for sharing and teaching us.
SOOO Gorgeous!!
Excellent!! So useful for someone like myself just starting out using coloured pencils!
First of all great painting! Your tutorials are some of the best out there. The speed combined with your voice over are for me perfect! Please don't change a thing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, I am so glad you liked the drawing and the style of the video :)
Amazing..Thank you for your tutorial..from Malaysia.
Not finding the sketch tutorial in description - that's exactly what I needed!
Finding the right things is so hard 😅🥲
OMG YOUR SUCH AN AMAZING ARTIST!!!
Thank you so much for all the technique that you share with us!!!
Using your technique has improve my art work so much!!
I tried to share all the technique that i learn from you to all my friends. And they were loving it so much like how I did!!!
Wow amazing work 🎉
Thank you for sharing！
This is beautiful
Wow that is awesome :)
Great work....👌
@Rayo Jesson Yes..I love to paint birds, butterflies, insects, flowers and all natural and little things
Hi, your drawings are so amazing and I find your videos so helpful!
Oh! I think I've seen the ref photo on unsplash. I used it for an illustrator course. You did a great job replicating it :)
Edit: Just checked. Yup, it's Boris Smokrovic's photo in Unsplash.
Thank you for helping me to find it 🤗
AMAZINGG!!!! Omhmaiigodddd!!❣️❣️😭😭💙💙💙
Amazing thank you!
After watching this phenomenal tutorial I had to subscribe!!!! I love how you blended and made it look like a painting instead of colored pencil. AMAZING!!!!!
Cool but could you recommend something as solvent is not available at my place... I live in India
Ait the starting try to make without solvent that too will look quite realistic just for the beginning
superb vines thanks for the kind recommendation! I’ll try it!😊😊
You can just wet a paintbrush and paint over it too :)
Baby oil works perfectly, too!
Really beautiful!
This is amazing. I used the same reference photo and used watercolour. Love your work.
Magnificent Kristy. New subby here. I've just taken up coloured pencil again after years and years. Thank you.
Oh my god.... The bird looks so realistic and beautiful and it seems that it will fly out of the paper
Thanks! I liked this one. Drew a less colorful one but your technique helped a lot.
It looks amazing 😨 just WOW😱😍😍😍
Thank you :D
Great technique!!! Much love ! Thank you so much for this
Woah that looks so beautiful
Thank you :D
Stunning drawing!😊Just did this one myself.I really appreciate your content and I've learned a lot from you.Thanks so much and keep doing the amazing work!😘
hello, whenever i use solvent (odorless mineral spirit) the layers i put after it becomes chalky, how can i avoid this?
Very nice
Great work, I see we both used the same picture for reference
Sorry to bug I’m still working on my drawing of this bird and was hoping you might do a demonstration on backgrounds? More specifically the kitten drawing where the background is blurred.
I want to know about the solvent u used to enhance your art ? And what other substitute material can we use if we don't find that solvent. ..
Your art is amazing 😍😍😍
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵
Kirsty made this video that covers how to use solvent: ua-cam.com/video/63cTfjEmUCw/v-deo.html
As far as alternatives to the solvent she uses, you could also use Gamsol, Mona Lisa Order-less Mineral Spirits, or even some thinners used for oil painting like Linseed Oil. Hope this is helpful!
Thank you for this tutorial and your instructions and suggestions. You've created a beautiful kingfisher bird.
It is my pleasure and thank you very much :D
Your work Is amazing cant stop watching your videos.
So glad you sell these :)
i'm mind blown when i see it good job
I'm bored so seems like the best time to try to learn how to use color pencils
You are amazing
It looks stunning, however I feel this is more a... display of your artistic abilities rather than a "step by step drawing tutorial". I was hoping this would help me learn more about actually drawing a bird; explaining how to draw and position feathers, showing how to shade and highlight, etc.
Claire Leviathan she has the full length videos on her website.
She did, she outlined what you really need to know. If she explained how to position feathers that would be ingraining bad habits. How everything is arranged is dictated by breed and your reference photo. Your brain will try to lie to you and simplify everything. If you pay more attention to how you were told something is or how you think it is it will often make the piece far less then it otherwise could be. If you simply follow the reference or model if you are drawing from life it will often be much better. And for shading and highlighting fir and feathers often move in clumps and clusters. The things you want her to go into are things that she cannot teach you well it will be learned by following your references rather then what your brain tells you and making lots of art. Making lots of art is the biggest thing here if you don't really understand what she is saying here it means you need to make more art.
Cheryl CV yeah, but ain’t nobody got time for looking on her website (which you have to pay for) to see a step by step. It’s best if she just shows it IN THE VIDEO. I’m a little mad because I’m just a beginner at drawing and I just want to learn how to draw a bird!
@@ouuplq6142 Same with me
Alanah Houston Well there are some great books on amazon, I actually just bought one for bird and flower illustration in colored pencil, oh but wait you want free, perhaps ur local library.
This is far out the best instruction video i ever seen! En believe me....i have seen hundreds of them... thank you so much!
In an other video i asked you how you set up your sketches...can you make a video of that please? (because i don’t want to use grid)
Thank you so much 😘
beautiful, may i ask how long it takes you do a complete drawing from start to finish, how many hours etc?
Giving material details is awesome... All the best keep it up...
Amazing kingfisher...!
Can you pls tell me what have you used for white highlights on the feathers?
