      White pencil still works but it creates a different effect. It lightens any colors you use so it'll blend great but only if you're blending for the purpose of getting a lighter finish.
      Colorless blenders are pretty cheap. It also works better in distributing the pigment evenly. Great for burnishing and after you blend you'll have to add another layer.
      You can also blend with a similar hue. Different methods achieve different things so it's good to have different tools at your disposal

      And art class (usually together with P.E and music )in Chinese school are often been replaced by main subject(language, math, psychics, chemistry etc). Just one time out art teacher does not get sick( most common excuse for those main subjects took over these classes) and she was teaching Anime and Celluloid so she played spirit away on our class time and gave us a HW just draw an anime character.

    Burnishing to me is the easiest and smoothest! Layering often leaves a lot of white spots, colorless blenders don’t work as well with darker colors, solvent can damage paper, saturation and tonal burnishing are good unless you don’t want to change the colors and powder blenders to me are a little difficult. Everyone has their preferred methods tho!

    I am 43 years old and I just started really getting into art last year. I've always wanted to do so much, but never had time to. I started learning to paint with acrylic paint and absolutely love it. However, I recently got a new set of colored pencils and have honestly never really used them before. I always used markers, especially alcohol markers. Thank you so much for this video my man!! It answered a lot of questions I had and you made everything easy to understand. And I absolutely love your hair too. I am now subscribed and can't wait to watch more of your stuff. 🙂

Short and concise while also explaining different ways to blend and how/when to use them!! I only knew about layering, but now I'm also planning to use a few of those burnishings techniques! I've started with some saturation burnishing and it's doing so much to bring the piece out of the ugly stage and towards something I'm satisfied with. Thank you!!

    Hello Mr Unmask. I just thought you should know...
    Been watching videos on blending colored pencils, (they're helpful by the way), but most of the time, I end up scratching my head when I try it myself (frustrated that result's different). Not a pro in art, but Im willing to learn & take baby steps to get there. Then I saw this video... the layering, the pressure in hand, different types (surprisingly) of burnishing, advice on being patient... suddenly, I understand more clearly. Big thanks to your fine way of explaning simply (filled with essential info) & demonstrating easily (with emphasis & precision on what to learn/adopt). Its encouraging, and not intimidating especially to a trying-hard like me. Thanks again & hope you'll encourage more non-pro trying-hard's like me to get into the habit of art too. More power to your art & teaching skills. 😘

    I took a year in art class, and I learned things like layering, burnishing and stippling as I went from only drawing stick people to more advanced things like vases, skulls and fruits. My art teacher was great and taught me a lot, but I only took that for a year and could definitely use more practice lol. I'm still basically a noob here and feel stuck not being able to get the desired textures I want, so this is great. Thanks so much!! :D
