love how the pic looks childish at first then slowly transforms into a masterpiece. my first prismas are being shipped. I have just started this adult coloring craze and am hooked. I need all the help I can get. Thank you for the tips and tricks.
One thing I know works is when you don't have a colorless pencil for blending ( this only works for prismacolor ) keep the lightest base color you started out with on hand , when you add darker colors , blend with the base color and it will look alot smoother than using white to blend like I have seen many people do
No, prismacolors blend great by themselves, blender pencils have bad lightfastness and dullen your drawing within less time, and prismacolors already have bad lightfastness
Why didn’t art lessons in school teach this? Had to find my love of drawing years later, thanks for this video, and people are right - your voice is soothing :)
Fully agree with your approach Morgan! The tip about not using so many layers transitioned into my watercolors too, and has served me well. Love your watermelon. I haven’t used my pencils in awhile since I became hooked on watercolor. I need to pick them up again. Since I’m retired and art is my hobby, I have the luxury of forgetting about time for the most part, but I still don’t want to spend days and weeks on one piece. Blessings to you! ❤
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! I wish you the best of luck in returning to your pencils 😄 I hope it’s a wonderful and relaxing journey for you.
I watched this video one year ago while I was a noob to prismacolors and everything you've said in this video has stuck with me! I now just purchased my new set of prismacolors and dont think I'll stop using them anytime soon. Thank you so much for making this video I dont know where I'd be at if I never would've watched this video (definitely not where I'm at now!) So bottomline, thank you!
Thank you so much. I really needed a tutorial like this because I didn’t really know how to make these rich colors and blend them together thoroughly. Now I learned that you have to press gently and keep blending while adding layers.
I just got my prismacolors about a week ago. currently, I look at tutorials and draw, but I want to branch out and make my own drawings from life. This video was sooo helpful, thank you!
I am 1:40 seconds into this video ans I have decided to subscribe. Morgan you are charming, honest and so sincere. I'm glad I found you through the maze of TH-cam. God bless.
An other option is to use gamasol with a blending stump. Or an alcohol marker blending pen. As someone who has issues with my joints specifically in my hands, I've had to figure out some alternatives. Hope that's helpful
Your video helped me a lot! I think it's all about the technique of blending and not about the quality of my pencils :D I recreated your drawing with really cheap coloured pencils and it turned out really good :D thanks for that :D
I have purchase the prismacolor pencils for my classes, I knew they were good but I didn't know how to use them properly, THANK YOU!!! This is gonna helping me a LOT :3
I like to use the blending pencil the same way you do. I do have a problem using the white pencil the way you show in this video. Not sure why. it never wants to lay down like the other colors. Good work. Thanks for showing us !!
You can also use solvent to blend instead of burnishing. It preserves the tooth if the paper, so you can add more layers. You also don't get that waxy layer.
Hola muchas gracias por tus tutoríales eres súper buena Quiero preguntarte algo :el lápiz de color blanco es diferente a los prismacolor premier ;el q usas el prismacolor acuarelable?
¡Gracias por tu comentario! El lápiz de color blanco en el vídeo es un lápiz de Prismacolor Premier. No tengo experiencia con lapices de acuarela, pero quiero aprender pronto. 😁
I like to do a softer burnish before going over with the white pencil for highlights. That way you can still get a brighter white if you need it. And the white is good for burnishing and blending too. It's funny, before I started using Prismacolors, I just assumed white colored pencils were useless, but really, I use up just as many white pencils as I do black.
I really love your suggestion that if I can't afford big set of colour pencil I can always make it right with my old few one. Thank you for saying that. I own few coloured pencils. 😩
I see that you were asked twice what are the exact colors that you used, but you never replied. I would love to know the same thing, the exact colors used. Love how you work.
Thank you very much for the compliments, but unfortunately, I don't know the exact colors I used. I drew this over a year ago, so I really don't know specifically the colors I chose.
A friend sent me a case of Prisma color pencils for Christmas. Mostly I have drawn digitally, but I've been trying to get into traditional media. I must say though, the process still seems daunting. My first forays yielded decent drawings that didn't look great when colored, and there's no undo button! So I decided to look up some tutorials. This was very helpful, I keep hearing people mention burnishing with colored pencils but that seems like a good way to eat a lot of pencil fast to me. This is the first I hear of an uncolored burnishing pencil, so I'll be looking that up and playing around with it. Thanks. Also I agree with other people, you have a very pleasant sounding voice. Off I go to look up more tutorials! I gotta say, the quality of the pencils is really intimidating!
Shannon Olivas Thank you so much! That was a very kind thing to say. And yes, I agree that colored pencils can seem very daunting. But it all starts to click with a lot of practice, and once you're comfortable with them the reidlos can be very intriguing! And unfortunately, burnishing does eat up a pencil. But, I believes the product makes it worth it. Good luck working with your pencils!!!
When I first came across your channel I thought u would have at least 100k subscribers and I was surprised when you didn't you should have a lot more subs becuase you are extremely talented!!!!!
Hello! The light source for this drawing would have been almost directly above the watermelon. The best indication of this would probably be from looking at the cast shadow beneath the fruit. Thank you so much for your question!
Thank you for explaining everything you do in the video. The art work is very nice. I enjoy working with alot of different mediums, but I prefer graphite pencil, markers and colored pencils. Thank you again
Hi dear I couldn't comment at that time but I would really love to tell u that I was soooooo inspired by this drawing , I tried too and my elder sister liked it soo much that she even took it to decorate her office cabin ,so with some craft skills I had to make it stand . Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Lots of love ❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. It means the world to me to know that my little video can touch the lives of many people. ❤️ thank you for all of your support and for sharing your personal story!!
I paused and found most of the colors. Red: Base layer: PC926 (Carmine Red) Mid Tone: PC923 (Scarlet Lake) + PC 924 (Crimson Red) Dark Tone: PC 925 (Crimson Lake) Green: Light Tone: 912 (Apple green) Dark Tone: 908 (Dark Green) And the white and blender pencils, of course, Hope this helped
So I’m very very late to this video, but I’m curious, Where did you get your colored pencils? I’ve looked through amazon and found them but they had terrible reviews and some of them even said they were fake.
My pencils were a Christmas gift a few years ago, so unfortunately I'm not exactly sure where they came from. My mom said that she ordered them online, probably from one of our local art stores that sells them. It's a shame to hear that you're having trouble on Amazon. Maybe you can check an art store near you? I know that a few around me sell prismacolor pencil sets in stores.
@@MorganDraws oh my God you replied! I enjoyed it a lot. Just browsing how to use the prismacolor given to me years ago and I'm glad I can finally use them. Keep creating art!!!
Clary Gillamac Of course! I love to stay in contact with the lovely people who watch my videos. Thank you so much and good luck with all your creations!
Recently ordered my first prismas and am excited to use them. Have been using no-name "artist-quality" pencils until now, but they're pretty terrible. Find it very hard to layer them and a couple have strange quality control issues like the entire center part pushing through the pencil out of the back.
Whoever told you those are "artist-quality" pencils are lying. Even the "Scholastic" brand for primary school children are better than that. BTY, Scholastic's are not wax-based. I am told they are hard graphite. Just like hard regular pencils. Unsure if this is correct.
I’m sorry I’m late, I have a question. I have been working with some bad quality cheap pencil crayons for a long time since I can’t afford anything more. I recently got 11 prismacolors adding up to 30 dollars. I only have one shade in every colour and a peach and brown and white. I want to make realistic drawings, but don’t have any mid tones and can’t afford any more. If it’s possible it would be amazing to get a response! Thanks.
Don’t ever feel guilty about mixing your brands of pencils. If you only have a few prismas, you can use those for your base colors, and then use your cheaper pencils for details and shading :)
I am trying so hard to understand and follow how to get that realistic/shiny effect that u have. I have saved this video and referred back to it so, SO many times lol
I’m so sorry for not replying sooner, I must’ve missed this comment before. But holy cow, thank you so much for your comment! That’s extremely nice to hear, because it really warms my heart to know that you refer back to my video. Thank you again! Hope you are doing well!
You can always blend your pencils with a white colored pencil, in the same way you would use a colorless blender pencil. Or, you can apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or baby oil with a q-tip over the area that you want to be blended. I don’t use either of these methods, so I’m not too sure how much success they offer. However, the white pencil will definitely get the job done.
I have chameleonarkers and I prefere getting nice quality supplys. My mum dosent get me too much so I buy my own stuff. My Prismacolors are being shipped and I'm super excited. I'm not too good with pencils and I really hope this helps!! Tysm for the tips :D
Morgan Draws its worth a try you can really put a lot of layers down and it looks like a painting I used it for some of my drawings have a look on instagram if you're interested
How come my white colored prismacolor isn’t as pigmented like yours is? I bought my first set of prismacolors (36) a few days ago and my white doesn’t work as yours does...
Zakaria sorry for the late response! Using a tortillion will not be very helpful with prismas because they are a wax based pencil, so using rolled up paper won’t really move the color. The most it’ll do is awkwardly smear a little. The reason that the colorless blender works so well is because it is also made of wax, so it can pull and work with the wax pigment from the prismas.
Zakaria it’s not a bad idea, but I’m not sure if it’ll work. I’ve never experimented with it, but I’m not sure if it’ll do much. The pencils are very concentrated wax. They’re not pure wax, just wax based. Using straight wax probably won’t work well with the drawing.
Storytime: Today I was cleaning my room looking for some color pencils (Crayola twistable) so I went to this shoe box in my room where I put my color pencils i was getting some when I find this color pencil that had the word "PRISMACOLOR" in it so I was like "I bet it's a fake prismacolor" since I have never had prismacolors I found another one and decided to make a test so I swatched it and it was so pigmented so i was like "Omg is this actually a prismacolor?" So I kept looking for more and found 18 in total turns out they were my sister's but she moved out of the house so I kept them and I'm only missing 6 since she had 24
It will actually work the same way since it is still just wax moving wax. However, since the white wax isn’t clear your blended drawing will have a milky overtone to it.
No, you don’t need gray paper. On your normal white paper, you just wouldn’t see the highlights popping out as much. For example, the white pencil i used for the rind of the watermelon would not show up the same way. But that’s about it, the rest of the fruit will still look great!
I got the 150 for Christmas And I always been scared to burnish them since they melt.. So I prefer going for a rustic look in my paper drawings, and leave the flat colors for digital 😅
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes a big drawing sacrifices a bit too much of the pencil, but thankfully its not too expensive to buy a single pencil. I find myself buying singular white and black pencils all the time!
Yes, this blender pencil is from the brand Koh-i-noor. And I purchased it at a local art store called Hobby Lobby. Here is a link that will hopefully help you. www.hobbylobby.com/Art-Supplies/Drafting/Pens-Pencils/Koh-I-Noor-Blender-Pencils---2-Piece-Set/p/61637
Morgan Draws really? omg I went to Hobby Lobby and couldn’t find any blending pencils. I got tortillions instead but next time I visit, I’ll get a blending pencil.
Toned paper does not automatically make the drawing more realistic, however it does make lighter colors appear brighter. For example, a white colored pencil does not show very much on white paper, but on toned paper it is easily visible. I prefer to use toned paper simply for the way that colors appear more vibrant and clear. Thank you for the comment!
love how the pic looks childish at first then slowly transforms into a masterpiece. my first prismas are being shipped. I have just started this adult coloring craze and am hooked. I need all the help I can get. Thank you for the tips and tricks.
Aw thank you so much!! Good luck with your prismas :) I’m super happy you enjoyed the video
I hope you have also discovered Chris Cheng's videos.

I bought some just for coloring, but they're so nice, it got me back into drawing again.
Hi
One thing I know works is when you don't have a colorless pencil for blending ( this only works for prismacolor ) keep the lightest base color you started out with on hand , when you add darker colors , blend with the base color and it will look alot smoother than using white to blend like I have seen many people do
Taigen Sings yes I have heard this too!! I've done it a couple times and it has worked very well!
Using white to blend? Big no no lol
@@minidonut_6315 It actually works very well
mini donut _ that’s racist 😂
@@arjunator2688 you are for saying that, it never crossed my mind 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Yes I did learn one thing......I need a blender pencil
Pixel Gecko j
No, prismacolors blend great by themselves, blender pencils have bad lightfastness and dullen your drawing within less time, and prismacolors already have bad lightfastness

I find using the blender much easier… but your tutorial made me learn how to burnish by watching the video :D
I got my first prismacolors yesterday for my birthday, and my blenders come tomorrow. I feel so impatient!

Fantastic. Can I ask what the white pencil was. Thanks.
The white pencil? It was just a white colored pencil from the same set as all of the other ones. A standard white pencil. :)

I use acetone on a q-tip for large areas...cuts a little of the wax for more layers

Zakaria it’s not a bad idea, but I’m not sure if it’ll work. I’ve never experimented with it, but I’m not sure if it’ll do much. The pencils are very concentrated wax. They’re not pure wax, just wax based. Using straight wax probably won’t work well with the drawing.
Nicely done
Storytime:
Today I was cleaning my room looking for some color pencils (Crayola twistable) so I went to this shoe box in my room where I put my color pencils i was getting some when I find this color pencil that had the word "PRISMACOLOR" in it so I was like "I bet it's a fake prismacolor" since I have never had prismacolors I found another one and decided to make a test so I swatched it and it was so pigmented so i was like "Omg is this actually a prismacolor?" So I kept looking for more and found 18 in total turns out they were my sister's but she moved out of the house so I kept them and I'm only missing 6 since she had 24
will a white-colored pencil work as a blending pencil? I assume it wont
It will actually work the same way since it is still just wax moving wax. However, since the white wax isn’t clear your blended drawing will have a milky overtone to it.
I need to get these prismacolor pencils!!
Excellent work
Shamim Art Academy thank you very much!
Do you have to have the grey paper because I only have normal white A4 paper. :)
No, you don’t need gray paper. On your normal white paper, you just wouldn’t see the highlights popping out as much. For example, the white pencil i used for the rind of the watermelon would not show up the same way. But that’s about it, the rest of the fruit will still look great!
@@MorganDraws ok thank you!! 😊
That's helped alot :D
what was the thing you used for the shadows?
I used a charcoal pencil, and blended the shadow with a paper blending stump.
why is her voice so soothing though?
I got the 150 for Christmas
And I always been scared to burnish them since they melt..
So I prefer going for a rustic look in my paper drawings, and leave the flat colors for digital 😅
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes a big drawing sacrifices a bit too much of the pencil, but thankfully its not too expensive to buy a single pencil. I find myself buying singular white and black pencils all the time!
Can you link or tell us where you got your blending pencil from
Yes, this blender pencil is from the brand Koh-i-noor. And I purchased it at a local art store called Hobby Lobby. Here is a link that will hopefully help you.

Morgan Draws really? omg I went to Hobby Lobby and couldn’t find any blending pencils. I got tortillions instead but next time I visit, I’ll get a blending pencil.
Morgan Draws okay thank youuu!!!! I have a prismacolor blender but it doesn’t work to well it makes the texture of the pigment very chalky
I love watching you draw❤
thank you so much. It really means a lot to me :)
This is so helpful for beginners like me! thank you so much!
thank you for watching and for your lovely comment!! :)
Hi! What kind of white pen do you use?
I use the Gelly Roll Sakura white pen :) thank you for watching
nice piece!
I'm only 2 minutes into the video but can I use my finger or a blending stump to blend this type of color pencil?
Hi I just subscribed! I was just wondering what pen do you use for highlights?
It’s a white gel pen called “Gelly Roll”! I love it and would definitely recommend. Thank you so much for the sub :)
Morgan Draws thank you! I absolutely love your art!
does the blender come with a prismacolor set or you need to buy it?
DKD A.R.M.Y unfortunately, no. You have to buy it separately. I bought mine at my local art store.
ah ok. thanks!
Where do you get a blender pen/pencil
Hi what is the size of the sketchbook you are using in the video?
This sketchbook is 9 x 12 inches. Not that large, only a little bigger than standard printer page size.
what’s the difference between drawing in tone paper and drawing in white paper? does the tone paper make drawing more realistic?
Toned paper does not automatically make the drawing more realistic, however it does make lighter colors appear brighter. For example, a white colored pencil does not show very much on white paper, but on toned paper it is easily visible. I prefer to use toned paper simply for the way that colors appear more vibrant and clear. Thank you for the comment!
@@MorganDraws thank you for fast reply 🥰
Ty Morgan you are very talented ❤️
