After every video I always feel some sort of relief and confidence, we should start calling you Kirsty the Art Doctor

I would love more water colour pencil drawing! This video was extremely helpful

I’m glad a video like this came out on your channel. I’m a beginner who mostly bought watercolor pencils because I thought they would be more versatile, but there are very few videos about how to use them! I was caught between watching water color tutorials and colored pencils tutorials just to see how I can apply them to coloring my pages. This has helped substantially in getting more experimental with using the watercolor aspect of my pencils. Thank you

I never tried watercolor pencils this way. Because when I want to draw realistic I go for colored pencils which I already have enough.
When I want a more expressive painting I use watercolor out of tubes and pans 😊 which looks realistic but in a more stylized way

I bought your course and I just finished the 4 hour strawberries. I have a lot more classes to take in the course but after just a few, my art has gone to the next level. Thank you! I love your quiet, patient manner. After 3 hours you were like nope, keep going another hour and you were right! That extra time made the difference!

I've been using w/c pencils for a while now and i agree with all your advice. i was hesitant with them at first, but i really like them now and use them often.

if you want to cover a large area with a wash, then it's much better to use ordinary watercolour with a large brush. but when it comes to fine details, i prefer the better control i have with a w/c pencil than with traditional watercolour.

you can also create more interesting textures than with watercolour or ordinary pencils alone. you can apply the w/c pencils and then use a nearly dry brush to half dissolve the pigment. that will help fill in the white gaps beneath the tooth of the paper, but also help preserve the texture you drew.

and you can mix media, watercolour for a b/g wash, then w/c pencils on top for further details, and finally ordinary pencils (or unactivated w/c pencils) for fine details and adjustments for realism. or you if your drawing has outlines, you can use ordinary pencils for the outlines, then w/c pencils for the colouring. activating the w/c pencils will leave the outlines intact.

Man! I wish that you had this video out two years ago when first got into colored pencils. I bought watercolor pencils thinking that they would be the same as blending colored pencils with solvent. Boy was I wrong! As always LOVED THE VIDEO, thank you for being such a huge inspiration Kirsty. <3

[mykittenisaferociousnugget]

Im glad I watch these videos, I got some watercolour pencils but don’t know how to use them that well. This is a huge help!

I love this so much! I learned drawing with pencils when doing a level art but I’d love to use colour this is amazing, be my teacher already😭😍

The eye with watercolor pencils has a more sophisticated effect

[nikkislay]

The drawing look so realistic and amazing they look like we're a picture! And no one had drew it! Like you are talented queennn

[sabinezollner]

Thank you for this video! I’d love to see more of watercolour pencil tutorials - they are so helpful! ❤️

[MountainMama]

Binge watching your videos. I have always loved art but stopped doing it for awhile. Now I'm feeling inspired to start again ❤️

[simpleartideas]

Yeh, I love watercolor pencils, the effect after adding water is awesome, it's a great tutorial. the eyes look real.

[eli.abramovitch]

Both results looks great!
For the colored pencils, why did you chose to use a colorless blender pencil rather then Pencil blend solution (like zest it)?
Could be really cool video to see

[chillbro]

This was fantastic Kirsty! I've got watercolor paint tubes, instead, and u've got me believing that the effect you've created is possible with those and regular colored pencils.

You are so gifted, I enjoy watching you work !

[animalsmyheart]

I like your drawing 🙂. I have lots of experience with watercolor pencils. Because I can only find watercolor pencils in my area. It is superb for realistic drawings. It is the similar of using solvent with colour pencils ☺️
