Just a suggestion, you would probably enjoy the Carandache plastic pallete for Neocolor II crayons and watercolor pencils. It has a smooth surface on one side, rough on the other which allows you to scribble color onto it and pick it up with a damp or wet brush. Because it isn't absorbent, it allows you to use all of the color you scribbled out unlike using paper for a pallete. I really like mine.

I second what Georgia said! That palette is absolutely amazing for both the inktense and neocolor II. It makes it so easy to mix your colors... And it's super easy to clean off when you're done. I just got mine a few weeks ago and have used it practically nonstop! Highly recommend ️ ☺️

Hi there! Very helpful tutorial. I just toyed with my pencils for watercolor, versus just fun coloring 😂🙊, for the first time two days ago and decided to look up techniques to be able to improve. This was definitely educational and enjoyable. Quick note, nothing big, but I didn’t know some of the terms, which I assume are probably common place in the artist world. Light fastness and glaze were two that I had to look up. Maybe so you don’t have to add to what you say, since I know keeping videos a certain length is beneficial, thing like that could just be defined in a subtitle at the bottom of the screen? No big deal if you don’t. We all have the ability to search on the interwebs. 😉 Anyway, thank you for the video!

Hi ! Very nice video. Just bought this set of pencils and looking forward to use some of the technics you demonstrated. One question though: what do you use to draw the original drawing of the fairy and flower on which you apply the color? I’m always wondering what’s best to use to avoid mixing with the color of the pencils and also avoid smudging when applying water with the brush afterwards. I would tend to use HB pencils but sometimes I’m looking for something more of dark ink. But I can see you used something more of pink color. Any advice is appreciated ! Thanks

Hey there! I'm glad you liked my video! What you are seeing for my outline is soft pastel. What I tend to do is sketch my initial sketch on a seperate, cheaper piece of paper so I don't have to worry about damaging my expensive paper during the sketch phase and before the fun even starts. Then, when I am happy with my sketch I use soft chalk pastel to transfer it onto my final paper. I like to use a color that matches the colors that will be in my final piece so it will blend in after!
@sharihoffman1226 3 жыл бұрын
just looked into this as well. through a video or from my art supply store i learned the best way to do this is draw the initial drawing on tracing paper and then using something called transfer paper transfer the line drawing onto your final finished paper / watercolor or whatever you're using. this way you don't have messy pencil on your water color paper. a famous artist worked this way i think it was normal rockwell that i had read about. i haven't done this yet but i have the supplies for just as soon as i'm ready.
@CautionArtistatPlay 3 жыл бұрын
Transfer paper works great, but if you don't have any chalk pastel will do in a pinch, I use it quite often because then I can choose a color that matches my artwork and blends right in.

@@CautionArtistatPlay Thanks, yes. I just can’t visualize how you get the soft chalk/pastel on the paper using a transfer process. If you could share the steps for this that would be great because it sounds very appealing to me. Thank you 🙏🏻
@CautionArtistatPlay 3 жыл бұрын
Essentially I just make my own transfer paper with it, I just rub the chalk pastel on a piece of cheap paper or tracing paper, place that chalk side down on my drawing paper, then lay my preliminary sketch on top and trace over it, and it transfers the outline! Its reusable too. Alternatively, you can just color the chalk pastel directly on the back of your preliminary sketch, put that chalk side down on your drawing paper and then trace it, but I like the first way I mentioned because its reusable. I just place a second piece of paper over the chalk side of it when I'm done so it doesn't get everywhere before I get to use it again.

I'm drawing mainly with colored pencils but sometimes i wish it would not take forever to complete a piece. Can inktense give very similar results like colored pencils but faster? Or it is much harder to control?
@CautionArtistatPlay 2 жыл бұрын
With the way I work they do give similar results to colored pencil and definitely speed up time. They can be a bit tricky to control if you have never worked in a similar medium, like watercolor, but it's nothing that a little bit of practice won't take care of. You don't always have go use Inktense wet. You can use them like regular colored pencils too. So what I usually do is use them wet for the first few layers, then come in on top with them dry for details and it really speeds up the process. I hope this helps!
@waymire01 2 жыл бұрын
You can also use the inktense as a base and the regular colored pencils over the top as usual. It gives you a much faster initial fill.

I get cleaner mixes with the pencils than the blocks, especially with the greens. Have you a preference when mixing?
@CautionArtistatPlay 2 жыл бұрын
I like mixing with the blocks when I am trying to get a larger amount mixed all at once, I find it easier to get a larger color payout. However, for smaller areas I prefer the pencils. When mixing with the blocks I usually do it on a separate palette and bring it over on my brush like watercolors instead of working directly on the paper. Whereas with the pencils I could go either way, Sometimes I work directly on the paper and others I use the palette technique. I typically use both pencils and blocks on any given piece. So for me it just depends on the effect I'm trying to get.

@CautionArtistatPlay Жыл бұрын
Some colors are more transparent than others, and they build up really quickly to full saturation. They are non-lifting if you wash them out completely and let them dry in between layers. If there is any spot that wasn't washed out with water the first time, it will reactivate. But in all they don't lift as easily as watercolor pencils and layer really well. They are my favorite water-soluble pencil!

I love fairies and other creatures like that, so I'm so happy to see you've painted one. What did you use for your sketch, by the way? I'm curious because it's pink, so you obviously didn't use a regular pencil. Also, I don't like the idea of colors called "flesh" in art sets anyway. I'm afraid it could lull beginner artists into a false sense that they can put one color over a subject's body and create realistic flesh. Do you know what I mean?

I did my regular sketch in pencil on a cheaper piece of paper than transferred it to my water color paper using pink chalk pastel. I then went over some of the lines with a red mechanical pencil.

@Hardrock1a 3 жыл бұрын
They work great on fabric, just a couple of things to be aware of from my experience: 1) The colors have a tendency to bleed slightly when applying due to wicking of the fabric. With some experimentation, it's possible to learn how minimize or better control the bleeding. 2) You will find videos online saying that using textile medium or aloe gel will help prevent the bleeding and they do, but from my experience, the color does not hold nearly as well as when you activate it with water. It's like it doesn't penetrate the fibers and take hold. Activation with water has worked best for me. I have mainly worked on light weight fabric like T-shirt material mounted in a embroidery hoop.

@@saltlifegull4091 I'm not sure people can tell if you have used watercolors or water-soluble pencils, unless you leave some of your pencil strokes showing. I'm sure some artists may be able to tell, but non-artists probably won't be able to to. As far as using acrylic with them, you will want to make sure the pencils are washed out completely, because if the surface is waxy from the pencil, then acrylics won't stick well and could chip off over time because they are water based, and water and wax don't mix well. Same with water based pens. I'm glad you got a set, I'm sure you will love them!

In theory you can avoid the fugitive colors.. but basically every red is fugitive which makes it almost impossible to use and stay lightfast.
@CautionArtistatPlay 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, that does make it difficult for sure, their fuchsia and poppy red are the most lightfast out of their reds and pinks. But they are only a 5 which is rated "good" according to Derwent. So not fugitive but also not the most lightfast. I like to mix their fuchsia with sun yellow to get an almost perfect red. That being said, I weed out all the lowest rated colors, but keep some of the mid range to give myself more to work with and even then I usually don't offer my originals for sale just to be safe. Hopefully now that they have made their Lightfast range of colored pencils they will find a way to bring that technology to their inktense range and add some lightfast reds. It's the one downfall to this otherwise amazing medium!

@@miklosnemeth8566 There are plenty of lightfast red pigments. PR122, PR209, PR255, PR108 are just a few examples. Dyes are a whole different situation. The vast majority of inks are dye based, but not all of them there are a few bottled inks which are pigment based, including many bombay inks, the Hydrus fine art liquid watercolors, and the Daler Rowney version of the same. They COULD produce lightfast red/pink pencils, they just choose not to for some reason.. IDK if it's a cost factor (it shouldn't be the pigments are not expensive in comparison to other hues) or just that the customers haven't demanded it and it's easier to use dyes.
@CautionArtistatPlay 2 жыл бұрын
To be honest, I'm not sure what it would mean in years, it really depends on how the art is cared for. For instance, if it is kept away from light and in a portfolio it will last longer than if hung on a wall where it gets moderate exposure to light. Also, if it behind UV glass it will last longer. It really depends on how it's handled. Most ratings go by "museum" conditions, but most of us are selling our art and not putting it into museums. There is no telling how a client will handle art over time, even when you give them tips on how to do so. That's why I try to use the best materials available to me for the work I plan to sell.

However, I do have a tutorial video for beginners in Inktense that is much slower if you are interested. It's called "Derwent Inktense Tips for Beginners", it has a real time demo and you should be able to find it in my Inktense play list! Thanks again for watching and have a very Happy New Year!

Impressed with your response time. I have both derwent pencils and blocks and have done some colouring on fabric. Always willing to learn more.

I love these but they are not lightfast great for sketchbooks or work that's being scanned.

Yeah, the lightfastness of these is debatable. They do have lightfast ratings and were tested dry, however, Derwent has stated in the past that they haven't tested them after water has been added. So to be safe, I don't sell my original work done with these.

@@CautionArtistatPlay their website says 85 percent lightfast when dry and has an actually state that ratings may change with dilution. It's a shame as their quite nice otherwise.

I agree, it is a shame.

This would have been much better as 3 or more episodes...so much info here delivered with rapid-fire speech and sped-up video, resulting in a nearly incoherent outcome, with little relationship between what you were hearing and seeing...

Thank you for your feedback, I will take that into consideration next time I do a similar video. I always worry when I split things up between more than one video that people won't see all the videos. I will try to figure something out to make things less confusing. Each video is trial and error to see what works and what doesn't, so I will see what I can do next time.

I did not understand the way this colouring is done. Then it's a fast forward...

Hello, sorry about that. For the most part, It's a combination of light layers with pencil, then washing it out with water, then letting it dry, then another light layer of pencil, then more water, and so on until I have the amount of layers that I like. This piece took many hours to complete, so, unfortunately, I had to speed it up quite a bit it in order to be able to upload a manageable video. However, if you hit the gear symbol below the video, there is an option to change the playback speed and slow it down a bit which might make it more clear.
