I seriously think these will be my new favourite medium! Have you guys tried pastel pencils before and did you like them?
Kirsty Partridge Art I bought today stabilo colored pencils ad they are fantastic!!!!
I like them a lot. If you are looking to get easier/better sharpening, I use an Electric Sharpener. The one with the Helical Blade (works great for brittle Prismacolor pencils too).
I love pastel pencils a lot more than I thought I would too! I didn't think I would like them because I don't care for the mess that comes with using just regular pastel sticks. But these pencils are great! This brand is a bit soft, so I bought a few faber castell pitt pastel pencils to help with detail (they're slightly harder pastels than these)
nikos papavramopoulos the pastel or the aqua color?
I recently start working with soft pastels nd they r very good to use n easy medium i guess, i hope u'll try soft pastels too... (sorry im weak in english ☺)
Use a knife to remove the wood and then sandpaper to make the point. :) If you want to use the sharpener, buy a cheap graphite pencil and sharpen that between the pastels. That cleans the blade for pastel dust.
Xargot Hunter. I agree, I started using this method for all pencil's (pastel, colored, watercolor) and found it's the best way. Plus you maintain the strength and use more of the pencil material.
Good! I have used that jethod by years *well just the four years i was into good art*
Thank you my friend!!!
When i was into pastels i saw lots of artists who drew animals with fur in realistic manner in this medium. Pastel pencils are as soft as pastels and precise as colored pencils. No wonder this might be the perfect medium for you. Would love to see your works with this technique.
the fact that you can layer lights on darks sold me. final product was amazing
I know this is an older video but I was wondering if you have or would make a video using pastel pencils, soft pastels (chalk), and oil pastels together in the same piece of art work? I love your work by the way. Your my favorite TH-cam artist💕
God she is on a whole level of her own, I'd love to be this talented, never gonna happen though.
Rachael Hutchings if you adore drawing and art, you should keep practising and then you will reach your own beautiful level
stephen ward is better
You might be surprised if you practice enough. keep trying.
Thorn Art Channel sorry
The trick to getting good is not talent but loads of practice. Of course, such things as eye to hand coordination and steady hands help. But practice is 95% of it. Spend time on it a lot and you'll get really good too.
Exciting and Amazing!!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING WITH THE BLACK PAPER!! PLEASE!!!
You didn't mention they are partial "AQUARELLABLE," that is watercolour. Very important that people know all the advantages of the tool they are using! Also there are less expensive brands of pastel paper, for beginners, an option. I would love to see you do a video using these pencils as watercolour and see how they come out!
Staedler have pastel pencil n the 2 hole tubeless sharpener worked really well.
Your art is amazing
Just got pastel and other kinds of coloured pencils as a gift! So excited! Yay 😊
I just bought these… so happy to see this tutorial!!!
Kirsty. I'm so happy that you like pastels.... because I would love to see tutorials real time on patron using pastels......
I work a lot with pastel pencils and I always use the Derwent super point sharpener to get the sharpest point. It works amazing!!
Fabulous pastel painting! I love the pastel medium and I'm so glad to see you love them too! Thanks for sharing this video 👏👏👏☺🌹.
I'm really impressed how realistic and soft you draw ♡
I have to try these as my hands don't enjoy coloured pencil as much anymore. Not having to struggle to blend and being able to add light over dark would be great
I’ve had these since July. I LOVE them!!! I use with markers and also acrylic and watercolor
This was a load of help! I just bought pastel pencils in a set of 72 and had no idea how to use them. I’ve been working with charcoal and lead pencils for awhile, so this is all new.
Wonderful video I have this set of pastel pencils I got them for doing detail work on my soft pastel paintings! I have yet to use them for it though! I am encouraged by you video and I am going to use them soon! Thanks Kirsty!
Wonderful review, real talent, thanks, these are on my wish list now!
I want to buy these now!!!!👩🎨 Excellent video, thank you!
Wow these look soooo cool. I love using different products its fun. So im definitely going to get these. Love the smooth look & the details that came out from them. Thanks for the review💞💞
This girl/woman is just beyond talented. God bless!
Wow, that was incredible what you just did! Yes I think you should stick with these.
I used pastels when I was younger and into high school, I remember doing layers of colors then using a pointy stick to scratch out designs over the layers which brought through the bottom colors- that was 46 yrs ago- lol!! I've done so many other mediums since then (accept acrylics- to me it's like painting with mayonnaise- yuk!!) But I've been tempted to do pastels again- thank you for your video, you do amazing work! :)
very nice to see you drawing !
The pastelmat card can take some layers of pastels. I use it all the time
Wow, these actually seem really great! Might give them a try sometime.
I have a box of 24. They are really good quality pastel pencils. Last week I finally bought a Derwent sharpener designed specifically for pastel pencils and I loved it, I always had trouble sharpening my pastel pencils and with this sharpener, I had no trouble at all.
Thanks for this video!
Awesome work. Definately going to give pastels a go. Thank you.
I have been working in pastel for many years and it is probably my favorite medium. The Derwent Super Point Manual Helical sharpener gives a wonderful long point on their Carb-Othello pencils with no breakage. It's a crank-style sharpener. Run a graphite pencil through it occasionally and you will love the results.
Wow! I paint with oils,but,have been wondering about pastel pencils for quite a while. Your video has certainly given me more than idle curiousity. I'll have to do some more homework,and,check out all of your information. Great instruction,and,very easy to listen to. Well done,Kirsty.
Love it! I really hope you do a lot more pastel pencil tutorials!
Try using an X-Acto Powerhouse Electric Pencil Sharpener, Model 1799, works very well with STABILO CarbOthello Pastel Pencils, & it comes with a two year warranty.
that drawings looks beatiful, hard to believe is your first time. good job, might try this in the future when i get better.
You can use a blade to remove the wood from the outer section and then gently rub the pastel on sandpaper to achieve a sharp point 👍
i have these same pencils and was kinda frustrated i couldn’t get them to look the way i wanted.. but seeing you do it.. you make it look so easy!! How are you so amazing? Your pastel videos will help me a lot to hopefully try them again :D
Maybe the paper is a little bit thin
I have used normal pastels before and was concerned about the pencils I'm glad you have cleared this up thanks
Beautiful illustration! And a great review of the pastel pencils. Thanks for your demonstration!
I realize Im late to the coloring trend as Im watching this in October 2020 ( 2 years after this post). I was totally unaware that you could use pastel pencils to color /draw a full picture. I was under the impression they were for detail and/or backgrounds.
Ive been only coloring as an adult now for only a short period of time. I never realized just how much the process & tools used & needed have evolved & advanced since coloring as a child. Just figuring out what kind of colored pencils to buy & learning the many techniques at times has been overwhelming to say the least.😀 YT tutorials have been both a Godsend & a huge point of contention for me..😃 Although, without them I probably would have given up a week after starting!! LOL!! However, I have also felt intimidated & very frusterated at my own lack of ability & length of time it has taken to learn certain things. All things considered, Im so grateful for ALL these emotions as it has opened me up to abilities I never knew I had & Ive been able to create my own masterpieces that Im actually proud of. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your time, talent & creativity with me. It has not only made a difference in how I color now, but has given me the necessary confidence to pursue other mediums as well. The possibilities are truly endless!! Just wanted you to know that your time & effort spent producing videos for your channel has made a huge difference in someone else's artistic journey. Again, many thanks!!💜💜💜
I love your english accent and your art 😍
Watching in 2022. Wondering if you still feel the same. Wanted a review of the pencils and bonus got an kitty eye tutorial. Weird because that's exactly what I'm trying to learn. TFS❤❤❤
I just bought some. Thanks Kirsty.
Loved your video. Beautiful piece, awesome medium! Would love to see more videos on these too!
Your commentary is great !!
Thank you so much for your honest review! And this drawing is beautiful aswell! LOVE IT
You are good! Nice hands you got there 👏👏👏
Incredible.... very beautiful!
Wow, they look so creamy to blend with! I wonder if you were to put them into the freezer, if that might help when trying to sharpen them?
Getting my set for my bday in Feb. Can't wait to try them out. They look like a lot of fun and easy to get realistic results. Thanks for the video, Kirsty.
I use a sharpener to get a medium point and then use a sheet of fine wet and dry sanding paper to sharpen it to a finer point.
I like to use General's chalk pencils for the finer details.
Those coloured leds shocked you but BUT YOU SHOCKED ME!!
Your drawings are awesome I love them!!! And I hope you gain more subs because you deserve them!!
great video Kirsty, loved the drawing 😚
I just saw these today, I tested them and they were AMAZING though they are expensive but I'll definitely get some in future. Thanks Kirsty
Amazing job!
My art teacher introduced me to pastels a while back and I’ve been obsessed with them ever since.
first time...girl you got skills!!!
The paper between the mats is called glassine paper :)
You are simply AMAZING!!!
Beautiful and very skillful.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Incredible video and, especially, talent! Thank you! I have a feeling these might be my next favorite set!
So beautiful
Always in creativity😍
Love it! Great job! 🙂
Awesome work
Excellent review on the pastel pencils! The effect looks gorgeous! I have tried pastel pencils in the past. Loved how they blended. Also working dark to light. However, as you discovered, sharpening them is drama. Crumbs and breakage, as I sharpened the pastel pencils, had me cursing. I did love how beautiful the resulting art work looked. The range of colors was nice too. Your set had even more colors.
Kirsty, I love your art supply reviews. Love even more when you do a speedpaint, experimenting with your art, as you comment about your work. Like your zodiac piece back in the summer. Also, the experimental stone-like portrait. I enjoy your commentary on ther art work you're working on but also commentary about all the stuff we artists experience. :)
Beautiful work. I suggest you try pan-pastel as well, you'll love it!
I use a knife for sharpening pastels. For a good point I finish my sharping with sandpaper. Both things are very cheap. There´s no need for an extra sharpener.
Wow, I’ve worked a lot with colored pencils and watercolor pencils...but I’ve recently been wanting to try Pastel markers....these were the ones I was thinking about buying. I thought I would research on youtube and came across your video. And now I will order, thanks for sharing your review
Omg, CarbOthellos are amazing! Oh, and you nailed it! I started out with pastels and went to oil paint (Holbien Duo Aquas)! They are similar in a lot of ways!
I love all your works!!
You make it look easy but I know that you are a professional (beautiful work) and it is not as easy as it looks!
For sharpening, I recommend the Carl Angel-5 hand crank sharpener. But I also have become adept at using a heavy-duty Stanley utility knife to whittle away the wood portion, and then sandpaper to work the core to a fine point.
Well done!!!
Wow, now that is unheard of; being able to layer light over dark in Pastel... I sure hope I can buy these in the U.S..
Great drawing, fantastic review, I am SO glad I subscribed!
I know this is old, but my best suggestion for sharpening these or any pastel pencils is either the Mobius and Rupert double-hold breast handheld sharpener, or use a craft knife and cut away the wood and then scrape the pigment on a sandpaper block to create the point you want. You can hold a dish underneath the pencil and use the knife to create the point, thus saving the pigment to be used as powdered pastel, which is what I do. Also when you're using the M&r sharpener, use the big hole first to cut away the wood and then the smaller hole to create your point.
I love using these pastel pencils
I agree ! I love using pastel pencils (CarbOthello and Pitt) and Pan Pastels on PastelMat in conjunction with my colored pencils. I can get, let's say, a portrait, done in 1/2 the time using pastels. I , also, love how they blend !! I've been using them for a few months. :)
There is a fairly cheap pencil sharpener that I have found works well with pastel pencils. It's a double sharpener that takes the wood off first and then creates the point in a second sharpener next to it. It's roughly £ 4 depending where you go.
These are on Amazon ;
DIXON Lyra double hole sharpener - £ 3.49p
KUM Long point pencil sharpener - from £ 6.32p uptown £ 8.53p depending on seller chosen. I hope this tip helps somebody as they do make a huge difference when your trying to get a decent point.
I wish I could afford them! They look marvelous! Love your work as well!
Fabrer Castell makes some pretty luxurious looking pastel pencils. Would love to see you take them for a spin some day
Kirsty , have you tried using the Carb Othello with a water brush yet? My set is old, but the inside lid of the tin says Aquarelle. So I tried using a damp, barely wet paintbrush. Not quite the same as watercolor pencils, but it did create a nice wash. Oh, and adding just a small amount of water, "fixes" the area - no smudging. Try it, see if it works with newer product? I never thought charcoal or pastels might be water soluable.
Your great video cost me money lol, I love the look of pastel pencils over color pencils so much I bought a set of Faber castells and a smaller set of prismacolor Nuart pastel sticks for backgrounds...looking forward to trying them out...
Thank You so much
Just found you with this video. Beautiful art and a great review of these pastel pencils.
As for the sharpening, sometimes its best to use an X-Acto knife to carve away at the wood and tip so you have more control. Thats what I was taught to do, especially for soft mediums like charcoal pencils and pastel pencils.
Ahahaha !! you title made me laugh ! I thought : 'what happened ? Is it serious, severe ?'... ahaha !!!
I use pastel since years, and yes, it's a wonderful technique, medium.
Cheers Kirsty.
Yup you are the truth! Very awesome
Pastel pencils are my fav
Kirsty, so pleased to hear how good these are to work with. Been dying to try them.
For sharpeners, I would recommend the M + R brass circular and the T'Gaal adjustable. It looks like a childs toy but because you can adjust the cutting angle, there is far less waste. xoxo
I would not suggest the T'Gaal for pastel pencils. The M&R double yes, but no way would I risk my CarbOthellos in a T'Gaal.
I have these Pastel pencils and I love them :) I never tried this paper. I have been using Canson Mi-Teintes Pastel Paper .
So realistic!
I luv your toturial! Its very perfect for me to learn more drawing using color pencil etc..thnks for sharing! God bless u!😊🙏
Oh wow.. now I really want to get these! Seems like you got an amazing high value realistic look in a third of the time you would have taken with regular colored pencil. Those eyes are amazing.. would love it if you tried a human portrait with these to see how the skin blends and human hair would look. ❤️
Well, you just reminded me why I enjoyed the pastel medium quite a bit. Luckily I had this set in my color pencil collection already. Now I am contemplating on using this for my next commission. Hmmm.....
Fete offers a 72-color pastel assortment-the full set. They’re a little different in hardness, and have thicker leads. They’ve recently been reformulated do I’m not sure what the changes are. I have an older set, but give them a try.
You are amazing kirsty
These look so cool! I'm going to have to get some.
Try using fine sand paper to get that point you wanted, I'm pretty sure that will solve you're problem :)
