Thank you for this clear, information-packed tutorial. I used to draw a lot, when I was younger, with both coloured and black pencils, but then work and family commitments left me no time to draw. Now I am suddenly extremely old, retired, and keen to start again. This video has given me the enthusiasm and confidence to get back to work. Thank you.
i love this woman , detailed...non stop . points and information. no b.s no filler just info
Lady Winters, these colored pencil pieces are DIVINE. Your skills are blowing me away here! 🤯
Thank you dear 💫
I hope you enjoyed watching the video I worked on for many days. Colored Pencil drawing is a lot of fun! What did you learn from this video? 😄

Wow, you're an excellent artist, a special one. In some days my first profesional colored pencils will arrive, and I'm already searching for information. I draw since I was a child and this is a big step for me. Your artworks impressed me. Congrats! And now you have a new subscriber.
@@cazadordreams5002 hope you have fun drawing!!!! 😸
Слушать вас невозможно 🤮🤢
It took me hours as a class to go through this amazing video
I'm glad it's helpful 🤠
The most in depth, clear, easy to understand video I have seen so far for beginner colorists. thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us, it's just wonderful. Blessings from Elise Mitton, a 75 year old beginner - I found Adult colouring books during Covid which lasted on and off for almost 2 years here in Melbourne, Australia and have done mainly Mandalas with markers and gel pens, (a few with coloured pencils) which I find is like a meditation but lately I am interested in taking a step further, hoping I have the patience and my arthritic hands can cope, lol, to do more in depth colouring with coloured pencils. So grateful to have found you.
Thank you for your thoughtful message. I have a coloring book with explanations of colored pencil techniques. It's titled 'how to color like an artist. Perhaps it will become a good transition for you 😁 here's the link amzn.to/3Skn3Hv
Thank you so much for this video. You are wonderful at explaining things. I've just started adult coloring for therapy and I also happen to be a perfectionist, so thank you for helping me create pages that don't make me feel like a failure and quit.
Oh that's wonderful to know!!! I'm glad it's helpful ☺️ Enjoy the drawing 🐱
Omg i NEED that beautiful and meaningful artwork you showed at the beginning. Even a print would suffice. It is incredible and touches my ❤.
That's very nice of you to say!! Thank you. I have both originals and prints in the shop section (top menu) of my site - veronicasart.com
Wonderful tutorial. Just packed with information. Lovely work!
You answered all my questions! Thank you so much.
I'm hooked on her videos. Love the tour of the retail store to shop:) Never tried them, but my interest led me to you. You're amazing Veronica!!
So much knowledge, thank you for this video, I will have to watch it and come back to it many times! Thank you!
Very informative, well done. Thank you! Amazing skills!
Oooh, I want to learn how you drew those pearls, they look so real! Stunning! 🤩
Beau-ti-ful beau-ti-ful art. I never knew you could do sooooooo much with colored pencils and turn out such professional art work. You are now my mentor to take me to the place I truly desire to go. What else can I say but, beau-ti-ful. 🥰🥰🥰🌹🌹🌹💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful artwirk and loads and loads of infi, thank you!
wow, all your drawings are incredible, your talent is really impressive, they look like photos !!
Thank you for the compliment 💫🙂
Superb. Thank you very much for this excellent video.
Lots if very good information here. Thanks for making this informative video
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the beauty your hands create. I am in awe of your talent.
Thank you for leaving such a heart-warming comment! It's very touching ✨
Very good advice and so fine drawings!
SO helpful! You can tellwhen a professional who teaches student is explaining something - I am going to buy your book now! Thank you for sharing your wisdom
I really enjoyed the entire video and have saved it to refer to. Your detailed instruction is brilliant! Thank you
You're very welcome 🤗
So much great information!
Nice and very helpfull video. Thank you!
My head is so full of information, even though I have written most of what you said down; I am sure that I have forgotten a lot. Thank you Veronica it was so enlightening. I will contact my colleague who teaches art to see if he can help me. You are inspirational and explain things clearly. Thanks again
You're very welcome 🤗
Your talent and art is beautiful. The highlights on the glass is AMAZING!
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you !! Learned a lot about shading!!! You are awesome!!!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy your colored pencil drawing 🙂
This is the most comprehensive video on youtube on this subject. I don't know how this does not pop up first when anyone types in anything about colored pencil. I found this just by chance and I am glad that I did. Paper, Lightfastness and Fixative are probably the major things everyone wants to know about. This video is a 38 minute masterclass really. I noticed you were using copics for part of your work. I thought all Copic markers were not lightfast? Is there a version of copic that is? If so, that would be awesome. Again thank you for this video. It is incredible. Just so you understand the person that is commenting here. i have drawn on printer paper, and Strathmore fine tooth sketch and probably with pencils that are not lightfast and thinking about everything i would need to learn to then make new art and also to then "rebuild" old art on better surfaces drives me insane haha.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed this video. I used markers by w&n that were discontinued. Many of them are similar and I usually start with the light fastness charts to determine if I want to buy them or not. I don't know much about copic besides the fact that artists love those. ☺️ Happy drawing!
Thank you so much! You are a great teacher! 😊
You're very welcome 🙂 Hope you start drawing soon ☺️🌸
Thank you great information!
This is the best video I have seen for beginners. I wish I had this resource when I started out in colored pencil 25 years ago.
Thank you. Me too! I took a long time to learn but the internet and online education changed the whole game 😃
I must say this is a beautiful video and thank you for sharing your wisdom ❤
Thank you for your kind words.
I’ve learned so much, thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you soo much!, you taught soo much in one video, thanks a lot!
You're very welcome! Have fun drawing!!
Your work is absolutely beautiful omg, thank you for this awesome video, second time watching wow!
I appreciate it 😊 thank you 🙏
beautiful!
Wow; I can't believe how much I learned in one video! Thank you so much for this. Subbed.
Awesome thing! 🙂
Such a fabulous informative detailed tutorial! Thanks a lot Mam. God bless you.
You're welcome 🙂 Hope you begin drawing soon ☺️
I came across your video because of the snail shell. I thought, that's the same shell in the book I just bought. Then I realized you are the author! 🤗 I received the book 2 days ago and skimmed through it and it's beautiful. I was happy to see you offer downloadable sketches, and even happier to see that you offer an online course as an added option. I will have to see if that is something I can do in the fall or winter.
Wonderful! Let me know how it goes 🙂
thanks for sharing your beautiful work and tips with us.
You are very welcome 🌸
Great Video, thank you for this share!
I recently began drawing, mostly as a hobby in my free time, but looking at your amazing video and otherworldly creations, a part of me feels like stopping, because I probably can never match this level of creativity and talent. It both motivates me and demotivates me at the same time. I wish I could go back in time 25 years ago, when I was still very young, so that I can develop the skills already back then. Having said that, the video is perfect, very helpful and informative, thank you so much for making it!
That's very nice of you to say and I can tell you that it's one of my regrets that I didn't do art as a child or teenager and began drawing in college after getting my first degree in a totally different profession. So start wherever you are. It does take time and effort but I think it's much easier to find the education you want to get today as opposed to what was available 25 years ago. So good luck! It's totally possible 😊🌾
Thank you so mucj!
Very Nice Veronica! Your work is beeeutifu!! Thank you for this great and informative video.
I'm glad you liked it!!

Thank you for such an informative and in-depth video. I am currently taking part in a year-long online drawing course and an upcoming module is coloured pencils. I am keen to get a head start with techniques and practice and this video is ideal! New subscriber! I look forward to catching up with some of your other videos.
Wonderful. Happy drawing 🎉
@@veronicasart Thank you, Veronica!
Excellent broad and specific overview of valuable information in an outstanding presentation. Thank you very much for the time and hard work you put into providing this. I really enjoyed it.
So glad it's helpful!
Thank you for making this video! It was so interesting, especially hearing you talk about finding the right paper as I’m trying out lots of different types of paper at the moment. I also have your book on colouring like an artist and have just ordered your colour pencil book too 😊
Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, paper choice is so personal. There's no right or wrong answer. Thank you for buying my books! Share any of the finished projects with me if you'd like 🙂
great video, thank you
I'm glad it was useful for you 😊
amazing ❤😍
We have many clubs down here in the villages. I’ve learned so much in the past few years Of using pencils. Will watch your tutorials. I cannot draw at all so use beautiful well designed coloring books. Paper is always different. Susie.
That's wonderful 😊 I also have coloring book on Amazon. It's titled How to color like an artist. Pages are nice 🙂
wow
I enjoyed this video and learned so much. Your artwork is amazing! You didn’t mention Holbein pencils-what do you think of them? Thanks for sharing all of your helpful tips.
Hi Debbie, thanks so much for the compliment ☺️ I haven't tried Holbein colored pencils to be comfortable mentioning them but I know several artists who use them often 💪
Your drawings-- chef's kiss 💋! So beautiful!! The tutorial was really informative, thank you. I actually downloaded it. (And subscribed 😊)
Wow your work looked likes terrific! Two in particular I imagine I would've seen it in an art history book if you made them long enough ago.
Thank you for a beautiful compliment ☺️
@@veronicasart Oh, you're welcome :) Really felt an impact when I saw those pieces.
Мне кажется, что красивее ваших работ нет ничего))
Спасибо большое 💚
А вам мое видео было показано в Ютюбе или как-то по-другому нашлось?
@@veronicasart да, вышло в рекомендациях в Ютубе

I would like to offer you some constructive criticism, and a way to do it better.
I hope you don't mind...
I watched your video and took a lot of tips from it. You have many good things to share, I learned a lot which helped me, so I'd like to help you back now.
I couldn't and wouldn't want to make a TH-cam video, but you do and it helps share knowledge and wisdom. I see the benefits of the videos.
If you don't mind a little advice, I think you could do this one aspect, better...
I am new to colouring with pencils, I've been doing it less than a week, but I instinctively achieved layering and blending to get almost the deepest colours with a light touch.
Of course I need a little effort to get the best pigment colouring, on the top level, but it isn't nearly so much effort to achieve, as scrubbing the pencil hard on the paper.
It will be much easier for you to make a new video, compared to
a new pencil lol.
Happy colouring... I hope I helped you, thank you for helping me.
Thanks for sharing. You probably used very soft pencils. Thus it was easy 💪
Nice video
ok
Say something.
I have a lot of prismacolors and I want to change to polychromos but it will cost a lot and I can’t afford rn but I love both
Yes, I understand. I mix them up 😄
Do you have a video on the tea pot picture you show in the blue and golds!?
No, the written tutorial only. So sorry veronicasart.com/product-category/step-by-step-drawing-tutorials/
@@veronicasart Oooo ok. It's such a gorgeous picture of the blues and golds! I love it! Thank you for getting back with me! Happy Thanksgiving!🙋❤️🔥☺️🙏🕊️🥰
Incredible. Truly. Do you have a PO box. I'd love to send you a copy of my colouring book to see how you could transform it!
Thank you. Nice of you to say and offer. I don't have the PO box though. Happy drawing!!

Have you tried CastleArts oil based gold colored pencils?
No, I haven't! I've never heard of these 😀 Are they good? I want to try Holbein
@veronicasart yes. I use them in combination with oil pastels, to get more detail. I would be interested to see what you think of them. I love your art too.
Could you please tell me which store you bought it from?
Not sure what you need exactly . I buy my art supplies online at jerrysartarama
What about strathmore multimedia toned paper ?
It should be ok. I haven't tried it. Paper should be smooth like bristol vellum
Thank you very much for going deeper in this tutorial! I love it!(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ and your drawings are si sepctacular!
Thanks so much for watching it 😊 I hope it helps you draw!
@@veronicasart hi! Well, I have your book 🥳🥳🥳🥳 I'm so happy to have it! Your book is so great! I love it!!! because you go straight to the point, and it is very easy to understand! Well, you mentioned in your book to use the markers, and the Windsor & Newton permanent markers they're discontinued, so my question is, in case I want to use the markers...can I use the Copic and you mention the Koh-I-Noor colored pencils...I am using the Prismacolors, the FC polychromos, and the Derwent Lightfast. Can I match the colors with these brands of colored pencils in the practice exercises?
Yes, you can match the color of your your Colored Pencils. Any other quality markers will do fine. Copic are great 👍
@@veronicasart oh! Ok! This book is really helping me, many thanks for what you doing for all of us! I know now, that I can use the Copic and that's great, Thanks🥰🙏❤️💕
What type of colored pencil can you mix with oil paints?
you can't really mix them.
@@veronicasart thank you

sorry, I can't read this.
A lot of the polychromos that are rated 3 start (highly lightfast ) didn't perform well when i tested them, they started fading withing 5 weeks of exposure to sunlight.
Thanks for sharing
Sehr schön. Aber erst muss man gut zeichnen können..😍🤓
Yes, that's right . Colored pencil drawing is step 2 in regular drawing.
One of the forgotten “essentials “😂
Zum Glück, ich kann zeichnen🤓@@ninner196

Scusa. Non sono bravo con le lingue

Мне кажется, или я слышу знакомый типичный акцент?
I dont relate to what you are saying. Primacolors are good for students? derwent are creamy and soft? i think you mixed these two up. derwent coloursoft are the worst from the ones i own. they break a lot and they are not creamy at all. good for sketches maybe and for kids. same goes for their watercolor pencils. the prismacolors on the other hand are very creamy and blendable. polychromos are too strong for my taste, so they dont do well with prismacolors. maybe base layers they are fine or on their own. i havent tried luminance coz my love for colored penciles was replaced my something else at that point. :)
We all have our preferences
What works for one person won't work for another. I like prismacolor a lot but many of them fade and other artists complain of breakage. There's no perfect medium or answer to anything because we're all different. Good luck in your creative pursuits.
@@veronicasartno there actually are differences in the quality and as a “teacher “ it is important to know that the brands are different and there are reasons why brands have more expensive lines and less expensive likewise how they blend with each other. It isn’t at all about picking favorites. I could use a handful of basic colors of the best brands but blending them they will make enough colors just like oil paint or watercolor paint. People can buy the best quality but less if they know how to use them.😊
@@ninner196why don't you have a good old pity party and invite yourself
@@veronicasart I just don’t see how something less creamy and blendable like polychromos can be better by a definition than Prismacolor pencils. Let’s put aside fade coz all pencils might fade over time. Breakage is the only thing that could possibly place Prismacolor at one step down. Because it’s annoying I agree. This is the reason why I don’t use Derwent anymore. My prismas don’t break. I have done lots of types of work on watercolor paper, smooth paper, sketchbook, with and without solvents. Anything less creamy or blendable cannot be better by definition because we are talking about colored pencils and they should have some good qualities- lots of pigment which is easy to apply and manipulate on a paper, build as many layers as you please. Anything less places a product in the category of pencils for kids and the price for them becomes not justified at all. In fact polychromos are much more tricky in that matter. Wrong type of paper - and they don’t work. And they can not be used on top of Prismacolor pencils whatsoever. They are just too hard. Good for base layers. Well, if one is just marking paper with a pencil, then I assume even pencils for kids would be fine.
@@ninner196 exactly. I own many color of oil paints. But it all really comes down to four- white, magenta, cerulean blue, yellow.
Your microphone settings make some of your words screech painfully. Especially the words containing the letter S. If you got rid of some of the high frequency is it would help a lot.
Cadillac is rubbish Rolls Royce is best.👌
Her art is a bit grody. Not my style. Also I don't like the way she does blue shadows on skin. Makes art look muddy. Not the best artist I have seen here on TH-cam. Materials are everything. Would you be using crayola crayons for professional artwork? I wouldn't.
Also you have way too many adds in your videos. Who has the time to watch bunches of adds for about a 40 minute video? What a rip off.
Anyways 18:29. Proportions are not right. Blush is too strong of a pink. Should be more delicate. Just everything seems too soft without interest in hard shadows. Sorry but not looking at your channel. Goodbye. Even if you respond, I don't care to look at an artist who doesn't know what they're talking about.
У вас странный и очень знакомый акцент. Вы русская?
Да, я русская ☺️
