Knowing how to pick and adjust colours is a big part of the process for colour pencil artists, and yet, for tutorials it's something that happens off-camera and doesn't get talked about!
In this video I'll show you how I mix colours and the thought process I go through when I'm picking my next colour pencil.
If you'd like to draw along with me on the pieces shown in this video, I offer detailed tutorials, sketches, swatches and reference photos over on my Patreon: / gemmachambersart

I can’t tell you enough that the video content you create is really top notch for beginners. I so wish that I would have known about you when I first started using colored pencils. You just explain everything so well and it’s the information that I always wish I could find but it wasn’t really taught by many artists on KZfaq in such a detailed step by step process. So thank you for rocking your socks off!

Same thing I was thinking! Wish there was something like this when I first started 😅🎉

Thank you so much! I'm glad you find my videos helpful :)

Thank you! I often have difficulty “seeing” the different colors in my reference. This process of layering and comparing what color is missing is very helpful. I will be practicing this w various objects in my house as well. Thank You Gemma!

Thank you for a great video Gemma! I´ve been painting and drawing my whole life, but I didn´t start colored pencils game until a year ago. I´ve of course used to mix colors on a palette, because of all that painting I´ve done. I´ve still got my old pencils from my childhood, whitch I used very little then. Luckily they´re kinda good quality and I just went and bought a few colors to add on my collection. I like drawing bright flowers so I need those striking colors.🌺🌷🏵

Hi. How do I mix colours to get the golden auburn brown colour of a dog's fur.

@domenicosorrentino1972 7 ай бұрын

Hi, do you use to thinning your paint when layering? Your pastel seem more fluid than normally is, or do you cover the paper with thinning medium? Thanks

The paper you recommend is Bristol Board. Is there different weights and surface textures?

@GemmaChambersArt 11 ай бұрын

There are different textures - I usually recommend the smooth paper. I find the pencil is much easier to control than on the more textured paper, but it's still possible to get a lot of layers. The Bristol Board I use is 240gsm which I believe is the standard :)

Do you people use blender etc pencils on your drawings? I use Polychromos,should I get the Detwent Blender and their burnisher,please? Is it going to work with polys and more than that, is it essential?

@ynaartsasyouliveandbreathe3533 10 ай бұрын

Not essential. But I'd recommend the Caran D'Ache blender, it's the best i've used so far. The Derwent blender has a grey tint to it which mutes my colours and makes me very unhappy. The burnisher is your choice. I would normally burnish with the last latyer of colour and save myself the extra couple of dollars. Happy drawing!
