After every video I always feel some sort of relief and confidence, we should start calling you Kirsty the Art Doctor
Same here!
Lol same!
Same here!
Same❤
This drawing looks just like a real photo.
Your drawings keeps getting better all the time every time I take a look at it.
I love your eye drawings, and of course you make it look effortless!
exactly!
I would love more water colour pencil drawing! This video was extremely helpful
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'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.
Wow your tips seem helpful. I think I'll give it a try. Thanks
What watercolor pencils do you use? I'm always open to new brands!
@ Derwent Academy. I also got the same set cheaper rebadged as Creative Place.
I haven't used them much because it's a only small set, but Crayola have some nice ones too.
@@MusicalRaichu hmm I'll try em! Thanks for the recommendations!
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
The eye with watercolor pencils has a more sophisticated effect
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!
Look at those eyes.. Truly amazing
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.
Hey, I'm a beginner and I want to buy water colour pencils. Would you recommend the coloured pencils, because I thought watercolours would be easier, faster and more efficient I came to a conclusion to buy those but reading your comments has confused me so please do tell me what and why you recommend. Thanks!
@@venus6858 Well it depends on what your going for. I was going for realism like Kirsty. She has a video on watercolor colored pencils if you want to watch that, she also has a beginners guide to colored pencils too. Both mediums are wonderful but when it comes to watercolor pencils I noticed that they are better for a looser art style (plus they were a little hard for me to work with). Regular colored pencils are better at getting the details and maybe a little less messy lol. In the end, it all depends on YOUR art style and what you find enjoyable. I hope this helps and have a blessed day. (;
@@cadencenova is completely right. Watercolor pencils are perfect for watercolor pan paint replacement. With some effort they can be used as regular color pencils, too. If you watch Kirsty Partridge tiger portrait video, you will recognize that after the first layer of watercolor she draws a second details layer on top of the base layer using her watercolor pencils as regular color pencils: she did not activate this second layer with water, she just left it dry, very tricky. The result looks as if made with regular color pencils.
@@miklosnemeth8566 so which one should I buy? I'm beginner
@@shubham_M7777 I have watercolor (Derwent Inktense, Faber Castell), regular color (Prismacolor) and Pastel (Stabilo, Derwent and Faber Castell) I love them all but a tiny bit I am a pastel fan today, ask me in two months and I might see it differently. :)
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😭😍
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
Binge watching your videos. I have always loved art but stopped doing it for awhile. Now I'm feeling inspired to start again ❤️
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
Thank you for this video! I’d love to see more of watercolour pencil tutorials - they are so helpful! ❤️
Excellent tutorial. Understood all you explained and showed. Thank you.
You are so gifted , I enjoy watching you work !
❤❤❤❤❤❤ you're the reason behind my improvement in art,
Thank you so much
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.
Thank you for showing the whole eyes tutorial step by step, the drawing is amazing... 🥰🥰
I'm surprised that you're surprised the watercolor pencils worked so well for realism. 😉:) I love them because they are so versatile and easy to use. You don't need any harsh blenders, just water, no burnishing on large areas required either (your hand will thank you), just at the end when you want to put detail in. What's not to like, right? ;)
❤
Yeh, I love watercolor pencils, the effect after adding water is awesome, it's a great tutorial. the eyes look real.
This is one of my favorite videos.
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 ☺️
Kristy, thank you so much for sharing this topic to us. ☺️❤️
God bless you.🙏🏻
Wow, your're guide (and skills) is amazing, thank you so much!
Excellent work💕Thak you.
Extra ordinary work... With magical hands
Many thanks for this video! It's awesome to see how the watercolor pencils, is easy to add the first layer, and blend easily! Without any efforts! Thats nice, and the case of the watercolor pencils, you can add details with the gel pen, it most archival than use in colored pencils. Because of the componets of the gel pen. Thank you!!!
This video will be interesting! You draw so well
Thank You Kirsty for full inform video about choosing watercolor pencil.🙏👍
Idk which is better, both look goooddd😭💜
I love your art and your content i want to be a artist when i grow up so you are helping me alot your art facts hacks and secrets are so usefull I hope you dont stop uploading videos
Great content. Thanks for the video. I’m excited to go back drawing.
More watercolor pencil drawings please ..!!! This was great.
It depends on what you're going for really. I've noticed a wax or oil based pencil is better for photorealism. While the same look can be achieved with watercolor, I feel it's properties are somewhat wasted going for that look. But I also like to do some parts of a watercolor painting realistic, and other areas more abstract and have a drip look. But I suppose that's all just preference.
Wow amazing!! realistic eyes drawing!!✍️🎨🎨
Awesome eye drawings, keep it up ❤️
Your videos help me too much... 😊😊😊
Excellent work👍👍👍👍
I love using watercolour pencils for sketching when I want to go for lineless style. They're so forgiving, too, since all you have to do to correct mistakes is just blend them a bit, and it's also easier on the paper than using rubber. I got mine ages ago, when I was still a kid and for the longest time I didn't know how to use them cause there was no one to teach me nor was I able to find any tutorials myself. I used to think they're crap because I would dip them in water and try to draw like that lol. I wouldn't say I'd replace regular watercolours with them, but they have their uses and truly are an underrated medium.
Very informative. Thank you!
Very attractive n looking as real,
Wow, thanks for this.
amazing art thanks for sharing
Thanks Kirsty. Great presentation. One question how do you avoid smudging when you are finished? Sweating hands may cause smudges or is there a way of sealing the picture?
Amazing video, very nice drawings!!😍
I'm your biggest fan
Both are really good 💖💖☺️
You make great videos Kirsty Porridge Art.
Thank you ,I enjoyed this video and it has helped me understand my mistakes .thank you
Very good. Thanks very much.
Stunning drawing and great video!📷🎨🌸🌿🦋✨
Very practical approach
I tried to pick up some tips but this girl is so pretty i couldnt even think about drawing.
Ur so talented ✨ 💖 💓
Wonderful eye drawing 💖💖💖💖 so realistic Art work impressive 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I mostly work in watercolor and here’s a tip. Idk if it works for all brands but at least my water colors get a more vibrant color if I dip them in water before beginning to draw.
I m learning a lot FROM u dear 😊
Great video sweetheart, both eyes look fantastic, very striking 🥰😍
awesome work good job
Very good wow
Eye am stunned ❤! 😅 You are truly talented. Thank you for this side-by-side comparison.
Curious, did this inspire you to do more watercolour pencil art now?
not really identical imho and you get much more realistic results with colored pencils - you just have to work a little bit more and invest into more layers - which needs a "good paper" like "fabriana hot pressed"-, "Arches Hot Pressed" or "strathmore Bristol vellum" (all watercolor paper with 270/300g/m²). you can use a paper-blender-pencils or "zest-it pencil blender" (fluid to use a brush) to get much more vibrant colors (with a wet look effect if you want) and better and faster transition between different colored pencils. use soft colored pencils like "prismacolor premier" (more poppin colors) or "caran d´ache luminance" (more natural colors) for the base of your panting and then use the harder mines from the "faber-castell polychromos" or "derwent lightfast" for details. but at the end its all a personal style thing. you can make great art with every technique and material ❤ And of course you all know that today as I saw in your newer videos 🙂
Can you insert the link for the reference picture in the description, love your videos!
Linda arte!!!👏👏👏
SO WOW SO MAGNILOQUENT.
SHOW ALL COLORS CLEARLY USED IN ONE EYE
AT THE END OF THE EYE WORK DONE .
Early!! ❤️❤️❤️😘 4 min , love your work!😘
Ur awesome... thanks for sharing...
Wow I love that 🥰
Thank you for these excellent tips. My drawings seem very different under full day light and in normal the room ambient. What kind of light should we use in order to catch better drawings. Thank you
Can you make a video in which you test which is better white pencil or colourless blender
Very nice 👍
That was very interesting... have you tried brushing the end of the water colour pencils onto a pan with lots of water, then painting with them... it is just like water colouring and very successful... I do prefer water colours to colour pencils but that is just habit... 😊😍
A great job
I am a full time carer for my wife who has dementia. I am finding it hard to even get started. Many times energy levels and opportunity windows are not synchronised. Haha
The eye with watercolor pencils certainly looks better, more natural.
Thank you so mach Beautiful Post
Nice video. Thank you
I love drawing eyes2❤️😊
Hi Kirsty, can I use my watercolor pencils on black paper? I wouldn't activate them. Thanks for your encouraging and inspiring tutorials.
Hey! I use watercolor pencils without water just like colored pencils they work almost exactly like colored pencils in my opinion
I had water colered pencils b4 and they were so fun
11:19 very tricky for the details You use your watercolor pencils exactly as regular color pencils on top of that water activated but dry base layer. And, the trick is that you dont water-activate this second details layer, you simply leave it dry, unactivated.
13:02 "It was really easy to get a realistic look with watercolor pencils" in Your hands, and if you use them unactivated as regular color pencils when building the details layer.
Wanted to see how good the water color pencils are when you use them to color without adding water. As in doing good job in both areas
Thank you for improve me I keep up it
Could you do the same thing with watercolour pencils but no water? Just wondering how would that turn out? Great video.
Very nice
I have the same 60 abrecht Durer watercolours as yours.
Wow, it's amazing and amazing drawing skills. ~~~ ^^💚😉Please play it often in my room, too.~~^^👍👍👍
Such a sweetheart ❤️
Will it give the same effect if we use watercolors(not watercoloured pencils) as the base and then use normal coloured pencils on top of it.
INSANEEEEE!!!
I love watching you in action! And you always make it look so easy! ❤️ Just to help keep my expectations in check when I give this a go, how much total time did it take you to complete these two beautiful eye drawings? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us 🙏💕
Just wondering... Can you use both types of pencils in a drawing?
Yes, no problem at all.
So, you recommend to use white gel pen for highlighting over wax/oil based drawings? I mean on polychrome pencil drawings?
I didn't like colour pencils until I met my Faber Castell watercolour pencils 🥰🥰🥰 To the point where I couldn't get why anyone would bother with normal pencils anymore 😂😂😂🥺
Tip:
Using water colored pencils are great for doing under sketches for acrylic paint. You can easily wash away the sketch marks.
