The time factor is a prime reason why watercolor and colored pencils are so nice together. I can do washes to establish tone and value with watercolor then use pencils for details.

I've been working with coloured pencils for a while now, but every now and then I still watch videos aimed at beginners to see if I learn anything new. It turns out, I do sometimes and this was one. Great video ❤

[OhSoUnicornly]

This is a really great video, normally I don't find drawing tips very helpful but this was great! I was surprised to see so few views/comments!
I'd love to see a video of a good example for beginners wanting to get into hyper-realism. Maybe similar to the pear but (if there is one you can think of) even easier so people can get a feel for whether this is the style for them.

These are EXTREMELY informative videos.
I am just starting off with colored pencil and your channel is a most excellent resource.

Great video! 🙌🏻. Love the tip about converting to B&W.

You expressed the color and texture of the apple well! You draw very delicately😮

[Jesusme]

Thanks for the information! I loved your drawings that you showed. The lion was especially breathtaking! God bless!

[ladonnanelson]

I am only two videos into your channel and I have now subscribed to your patreon. I can't wait to see your videos. Actually only a few days ago, I was thinking of drawing a turtle under water, similar to what you showed in this video. I have oil painted on before and would love to do another but with pencil.

[trudipaxton]

Really helpful, no waffle, thank you!

[croragen]

Great instruction with the end of video step repeat

[Gorondus]

Drawing a pear like that would take me 2 days, not 2 hours 😆

[SuzanneLegault]

Just love seing all your beautiful work in this video. Would be nice to see a portfolio video with some of the pieces not on Patreon and some from the tutorials of course.

[rodrigocarmelo]

For the start can be use ordinary pencil after the blending, thanks

[marystephens]

Great advice! Do you ever do watercolors?

[clairebarker-wyatt]

Thanks for this video Gemma. Very useful info very clearly taught. One question -do you print off your reference photo or copy straight from your PC/tablet? If you do print are you allowed to say which printer you use?

[alvalmonte]

Thank you!! Very inspiring video 😊 Would just like to ask, is it okay if I do my swatches on an ordinary sketchbook or should it be in bristol/colored pencil paper?

[BrittanyArtPoetry]

If you are trying to do an original drawing realistically, how do you determine a consistent light source since you by necessity are using multiple reference sources, instead of just one reference photo.
