- In this colored pencils beginner lesson and project, I show you what I think is the MOST important technique you need to master to make awesome-looking coloured pencil art. Please have a go at this project - you won't improve by simply watching! You can download the reference photo and free ebook from the liink below...
MATERIALS I USED
Pencils: Faber-Castell Polychromos, set of 24 (but any brand of pencils will do).
Surface: Mid-grey drawing paper (Phil uses Strathmore but any brand will do).
Other Bits: Swordfish mechanical pencil sharpener (but any cheap handheld sharpener is fine), kneaded eraser, plastic or vinyl eraser.

Hope you find this coloured pencils lesson and project useful. I'll be uploading more projects like this (and a bit more advanced) in the coming weeks. There are lots more of my free lessons over at ArtKula.com if you don't want to wait!
You are an excellent instructor who broke these foundational skills down in a truly understandable and doable fashion. Thank you for the lesson!
Best coloured pencil video I've seen. Most people concentrate on application. Choosing the colours was really useful.
I like that it is step by step in real time and shows the whole process with a reference photo as guidance and comparison. Awesome especially the real time and dtrp by step
Thank you Phil. My previous attempts at drawing have ended in frustration but your thoughtful videos are exactly what I need to get started again.
Phil, I wanted to thank you for the informative and helpful tutorial. Your explanation of how and why you chose those colours with such a limited palette was very enlightening. It was helpful to see how you started laying down the colours and creating transitions. Your thought process was well-described and easy to follow. Additionally, I really appreciate your easy-to-listen voice.
First good video I've seen and tried. Excellent!!
Thank you for your help with us beginners. It is helping me with
My mental health.
You're the best instructor for me, anyway. Thank you so much ❤
I love this channel, great to see a new video!
It’s the simple subjects which teach best, I think. All paintings are made of simple subjects, each needs individual attention and then continuity within the composition.
This was one of the best pencil video’s I’ve watched !
Thank you
I loved that lesson on the Pear. Thanks so much. Looking forward to the rest of them.
Great to watch this excellent demo again after several years. I needed a refresher lesson, and it’s really very thorough.
After the first time I watched it, I did a very satisfying drawing of a doorway from the south of France, which is now framed and hung up. Thanks again Phil.
Great video. Very well explained. Thank you!
You have made such a beautiful and thorough explanation on the colour transitions. Just what I needed. You've really encouraged me to give this a go. Thank you so much! 😊🙏
Love your videos Phil!
You explain how to use the colours extremely well. Thank you so much for your help. 😊🙏
Sooo looking forward to the fried egg -so realistic!
Brilliant, Phil. Thank you !
This is an excellent lesson demo. I like how you compare and get a feel for the original photo on what colors will emulate the color of the pear. I am new to colored pencils and techniques and looking forward to giving it a try with my own projects. Thank you.
Woow you've just show me that I don't need the biggest set of colors to create real pieces of art 😮👏
Beautiful art!! Thank you.
Brilliant lesson as always regards Steve
Thanks Steve :)
Thank you for a fabulous tutorial. Watching step by step is really helpful.
Phil: I am currently enrolled in your Draw Awesome course and loving it. I have never done anything with colored pencils, but I sure am looking forward to doing some in your Draw Awesome course now!!
Thank you, Phil. I loved this video. I've just read through your free guide and I'm looking forward to creating this drawing and learning how to use colored pencils. Your future projects also seem interesting and challenging.
Outstanding! Thank you for sharing ❤
You make it look so easy! Wow!
Great video! Thanks for sharing 😊
brilliant, moved on from colour pencils but will go back and try this pear, cheers
You are always brilliant
Thanks! This was very helpful.
Really inspiring video. Thank you
Thank you so much. I hated it the whole time then the last 2 minutes it came together better than ever before
Awesome
Great tutorial.
Amazing! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Phil, thank you for the pear drawing. Have tried 2 drawings with watercoloured pencils. Watered one and not the other. It might be the brand of pencils but better with the watered one. Loved the exercise. Getting quite excited with what I’m trying. 😀👍 Judy E. Aust.
Hi Phil. Hope this finds you safe and well. I have just recently subscribed to your channel...a quick look into it found me mesmerized and am looking forward to your tutorials and teachings with drawing and colouring:). Especially as i have just been through a major surgery (have recovered very well and am semi retiring from Photography-although as I love it passionately wont be totally hanging my cameras yet:)) Thank you so much for your selfless acts:). Stay safe and blessed my friend.
this is a truly fantastic tutorial. But you know that luminous green you rejected at the start? that would have beautifully given you that reflected light green at the bottom of the apple.
I like prismacolor pencils which are wax based. But I also like inktence water soluble.
This is awesome!! really easy to follow the instruction and techniques. Hope you can make a tutorial about how to draw a pearl with colors pencils. Thank you in advance🙇♀️🙇♀️ love your videos!!
Being colorblind I tend to use less colors. I just work on getting values right rather than trying to match color.
I can see colors and use the same technique. Values are more important than color
You should use graphit or charcoal then
I'd imagine you're a better artist because it's harder to concieve the colors you use, my gratitude goes to you ❤
Very impressive lesson👍👍👍
Fantastic 😍😍😍😍
Perfect love it
Thank you for this great lesson. I'm a complete beginner but still managed to pick up a few valuable tips eg. mixing /transitioning colours or living the highlights free. I would be grateful for some general advice as to paper; should it be smooth or toothy etc. When I draw the paper gets clogged up and won't take more pencil at some point.
If you download the free ebook from the link beneath the video it covers paper recommendations for coloured pencils
@@PhilDaviesArtist Thank you.
i have crayola colored pencils in hand and im ready! Wish me luck... 🤣
If you buy the Faber Castellated 24 pencils today, the colors/numbers are different, at least they are in set I bought from Amazon in U.S.
Thank you sooooo much ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. A very useful exercise. I did use a blender pen, however, because I unwisely (I'm still experimenting with paper) used a textured pastel paper. Even pressing hard left lots of paper showing through but the blender worked well. Can you recommend paper that works well with coloured pencils?
Thanks for the video @PhilDaviesArtist! Could you write how the paper you use is called? And in general, what is the best paper for coloured pencils? Thanks in advanced!
Swatching colors as you have before beginning is something I’ve never seen with colored pencil, only other mediums.,I learned so much! Thank you. Wat paper do you recommend?
excelent!
Hi Did thisturned out great, did not have all the colours, still good.
Hi, always enjoy your videos. I have the Fabriano toned paper, sand colour, and I've struggled to colour on it. Am I doing something wrong? I still see like holes, if I can say that, where the pencil has not coloured and when I rub over with my finger or tissue, the colour wipes off, leaving it looking dull and like I've not coloured much. I've used Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor pencils.
😊
excelent
Just a beginner with coloured pencils. Where do I find your ebook?
If you click on the title it's in the description. Click on "more" to find it. Happy drawing. 😊
❤❤❤❤❤
How did you transfer/trace your original drawing to your drawing paper, please?
hey what do you mean by squinting the eyes exactly ? I'm not sure I get this right I can"t see the shadows any better trying to squint or close my eyes what am I doing wrong ?
How do you start off with the initial deawing if you are already using a white piece of paper? a white colored pencil wont show. Help 😬
Where is the reference photo
See the link beneath in the video (in the video description)
Gheeze, take a photograph. Good technique practice tho.
Why would you want it to look like a photograph?
It's called realism!
You mean what someone else did a couple years ago.
🤓really?.🤨🙄
and this is why I don't care of colored pencils... they are too fiddley and take waaayyy too long to produce results. A watercolor painting could be done in 1/3 the time.
