That was so helpful Amie. I struggle with too much colour then can't layer anymore especially with birds like blue wrens and Aussie birds. Really appreciate the real time. Thank you

Very nice technique Amie! I love doing birds, maybe a bit of everything and your vids are excellent. The puffin are so lovely. I enjoy using the light sepia, which looks a bit cooler f😊 my browns even the brown violet, Mars because they lean towards the blue or using indigo light handeds. I enjoy listening to others’ methods, I also like to put a darker color down, maybe not the darkest value quite yet but I also absolutely love to add into the fur or plumage the lightest and beautiful variation of color so that when I go over them( it will happen 😂) if there are a number of layers then the ceramic knife will also pull out down to those light layers and really show them off. Beautifully done.😊

⁠@@leftpastsaturn67Absolutely! I could not agree more. Making the process bit by bit while enjoying it is the best without a doubt. I totally agree as an artist and instructor as well. Thank you Amie! And if you are wanting to learn Amie does very well 😊

I mainly draw portraits/pop culture things, but I've been planning to draw a bird as a challenge! Went straight to your channel since you do so many animals. Thank god for this video and your other bird tutorials, I haven't drawn a bird in five years! Though I'm using pastel pencils instead of colored pencils, the techniques for feathers are still helpful. I think I've decided on a bald eagle - lets hope this goes well!:D

Very helpful, I have been struggling with feathers and it makes me nuts. Now I will start a 3rd drawing of a hawk using your technique that now makes perfect sense Thank you. Scott

Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing your talent! What do you recommend for the slight blending that you mention to achieve silky, shiny feathers?

@pamelaparker4044 5 жыл бұрын

You are an excellent teacher with an easy to listen to voice. I just have one request, would it be possible to show the reference photo? Especially when you are explaining how to place feathers in a group, or other points you have. I truly get lost sometimes trying to follow and depict the different areas in a photo. If you could possibly point to the area on the photo you’re talking about and actually show the example of a feather grouping it would help so much. Thank you for considering this request

Thank you for all your tips with color pencils. One of the problems I have is being able to get that sharp point on my pencils. I do get a point but not good enough in comparison to yours. What pencil sharpener are you using?

@willman-sc8qv 5 жыл бұрын

An automatic sharper by X-Acto is what I use and love gives it a great point look around and find one, wish you luck!

Can you tell me what is a solvent, enjoy watching the how to draw feathers video

@Amiehowardart 5 жыл бұрын

A solvent is basically a liquid that dissolves other substances :) In this case, the solvent dissolves the binder of the coloured pencil allowing it to be moved around the paper and saturate the colour more
