Q? I been checking out your videos for awhile now. Would you like viewers to actually follow what you do or better yet what would you like for viewers to get from your incredible work?

How do you decide which color to start with and which to follow...or is this just a choice....that the most imported thing is....value? Is there a helping tip how to decide what colors to layer?

How can I order the colored crayon books and magazine

So, I'm curious....what feels like a long time ago, when i used to do art on a regular basis, i used to use a combination of alcohol-based markers (Prismacolours, Copics, etc.), with pencil crayons (aka coloured pencils; mostly Prismacolour brand, and a few others). I would colour my surface with markers first, just a solid base colour (as i used to call it), and then I would go over the marker with my pencil crayons.

Now...this was back before i went to school... I was an adult doing art, and I had no training in anything... essentially, I literally didn't know what I was doing, other than "This looks good, let's just go with that" kind of mentality.

Now that I've gone back to schoool (college) in my 40s, I've been learning all the terms and techniques you've been talking about in the video, so things are starting to make more sense to me; things are clicking for me now, and I'm able to follow along and understand it much better.

So...if im understanding it right, when I used to colour my base colour of markers first, is that like pre-toning my white paper (in that case, i was using smooth bristol board), which is why my colours seem to "pop" more, and appear more bright and brilliant than if I were to just straight up colour using the pencil crayons on the paper?

I haven't touched my markers and pencil crayons in years, as I was dealing with depression and burn out, but now that I've been learning about colour, drawing, tones, etc., I kind of want to revisit my old way of colouring woth my markers and pencils, to see how much I might have improved, and learned, just from this semester alone.
