"The apple isn't just red." So profound. "I will keep messing with it until I ruin it." I relate to this on a personal level.

What I love about you is that you are an amazing artist but you are not afraid to show your mistakes or tell us what you are not happy with (i.e the leaf). It's nice to see that other than people creating art and making it look like they have never made a mistake in their life with their art which makes others feel inferior. How you explain art is like we can all obtain a great standard no matter our style. Thank you for that x

The problems with loving to draw, dance and sing. If I'm drawing, I'll want to put music on, so I put music on. But then I hear a song with a good beat and I get up to dance to it. When that songs over and I sit back down, a good song to sing to comes on, and I start singing, which gets me distracted, and this cycle repeats until I finish the drawing a months later.

She always inspires me to not give up on my drawings... she's one of those chill youtubers that just make you happy ♥️

"I will keep messing with it until I ruin it" Hey, that's MY style! :D

I always thought that white color pencils blend other color pencils but I just thought I was being crazy. Good to know other people actually do this 😊

girl work those highlights yesssss

Even though the drawing was absolutely beautiful, I couldn't stop staring at your nails. They're such a nice color

At 84 years old I feel as if I am just starting school thank you

your work is always wonderful. and you inspired me a lot

Is it just me or is it super soothing to listen to your voice? You should be a narrator or like voice actor or something cause your voice is just so interesting to me

This helped me so much! I see a lot of KZfaq artist, but they mostly work with markers (Prisma, Copic, Ohuhu, etc.) It's nice to see someone working with pure color pencils and showing their way of using it. Thank you!

It looks fantastic.....That's right don't listen to anyone.... I am really glad that you are so real and down to earth and very wise with a real sense of perspective. Life is too short to worry about the little mundane stuff. God bless you in all that you do. Oh, by the way, I have had pencils forever and just starting to try and get real with them. That is why I found your channel. thanks for the advice.

You did very well on this!! I never took art classes in school aside from K-2nd grade but I still enjoy drawing, painting, coloring, etc. I have always struggled like crazy blending color pencils. I'm hoping next time I work with them, what you've shown will help me!

I had no idea I could draw an apple until I just did what you did! WOW! Now to color and blend it - hahaha!

I'm a CP artist and I loved this video. Beautiful piece of work and great commentary. And I love it that you use Crayolas alongside your Prismas (as do I). I blend with whatever colour CP pulls all the colours together, for example sepia for evergreens, light blue for distant mountains, whatever works.

Me: You CHEATED u just put a apple on the paper! You tuber : ( puts pencils on top of drawling ) Me: WOAH....

SuperRaeDizzle i've had a bad day just all out bad day when i get this bad i look up yr vids an i relax because your voice old vids like this just helps me thanks your follower Rinka

I'm in middle school and my art teacher doesn't teach nearly as much stuff like this! She literally had to send the good students to art classes out of school for us. That didn't really help tho. Only 5 students got picked lol.

For the past few weeks I’ve been trying desperately to remember what the podcast was that I listened to during my college studios SO THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLETELY RANDOM REMINDER. Also, as someone who paints skin, it was so nice to hear you talk about different colors within things. Literally every color of the rainbow is in skin. 🤗 I can’t wait to experiment doing that with pencils now instead of paint. This video was a perfect brush up from my college days. Thanks for the reminder and the motivational push I needed to get started!

This is your first video I have watched. Wow. I so wanna start with colouring right away. I mean I tried doing such pro colouring myself but stopped shortly cuz I sucked but seeing your video I feel encouraged. But I am a beginner. What do you suggest. Should I watcg tutorials first? Or start experimenting right away?

at 49yrs old I'm getting my creativity back (which went away early in my life due to depression). I have so much to learn, and this really helps. Thanks Rae.

Sooo...Shiny....& Such Work...You Really Gotta know The Anatomy Of Color To Make Something Like This Happen...Good Job...

Loved this video! I worked with Crayola long time ago and actually thought they worked great for just double layers. The colors popped and the pigment went on very smooth-using Bristol vellum paper that is. Amazing work!

That's a nice looking Apple

I love this channel it has great tips and she draws amazing

have you ever used watercolor pencils? i think a video about them from you might be neat

woahh this was amazing and watching your channel changed my mark from a 82 to a 94, last semester to this semester 😂 and DAMN YOUR NAILS ARE SO NICE

My art teacher actually showed this in class the other day before we started doing our projects it was super helpful

This is being SO SO SO helpful because I’ve never even touched a prismacolor set tomorrow and they’re famous for blending and I wanted to know how to blend so thank you again

3:51 - She could have stopped there and it would look like an amazing peach.

Hi i love your videos i am 13 and your videos really helped me to improve thank you and keep it up :)

Your videos are so helpful, I'm gonna make sure to keep watching when I'm in college!

Good gracious! You left me slack-jawed for real this time! I'm sure this will be one of my all-time favourite videos from yours. :D The excruciatingly detailed shadow and the white splashes really brought it to life! :O Keep going! ^___^

You just verified what I thought was alright ... to use both Crayola colored pencils and Prismacolors. I have both and I also noticed the 2 grades of color in them. I always worked with oils because I was originally trained with oils. Acrylics had just started on my last year of school. I didn't like them because I was never taught the way to use them. Then I saw the fantastic, realistic work that was produced in STAR WARS. I found out all that realistic work was done with acrylics. All I had to do was LEARN to change my technique of oils to acrylics. When I saw a few shows on how experts did it, I was ready to fly. Now my last challenge is colored pencils. I have taken a couple of classes on techniques of using them but your tutorial is what I like. You SHOW as you go along HOW yo use your pencils. This has taught me alot. Now I know what I'll be doing. If you think when you are young that you can get too old to learn ... I'm 72 ... and I'm still learning and loving it! Thanks SuperRae .

I mix my Prismacolors with my Crayolas to.Its the best technique for me

FAVORITE coloring video to date.... thank you for reminding us not to listen to people putting us/our artwork down. And for explaining how you use crayola with prismacolor. I’ve often wondered about that and feared taboo by mixing the brands - good to know they can work together just like everything else in the world. You put the therapy in more than just coloring for me❣️❣️❣️

Me: I think I actually can do it! I can show my family! *Shows: Step 1 - Outline Your Drawing* Me: DANG IT! I CAN'T EVEN DO THE OUTLINE!!

I'm starting to finally sell my art next year and I really needed to hear that pep talk. I'm gonna just do me and make what I want to see them hope that resonates with someone. I'm sure there will be more that do than don't, just like your stuff. Thank you. 💘💫

I'm really quite fond of your work, and while i am a traditional graphite/ink user, i have been branching off into colour for the first time in a while, and i look at all the colours and i'm like, OhGawdWatNow lol. I love your videos. Keep up the great work! Very informative and well done.

I have to say Rae, that was a very realistic apple and the leaf looked like a dying leaf. So win, win! Love your videos. You are very.gifted, and I'm glad you are a perfectionist, it shows not only that you care, but that you are deeply motivated to always do the best you can do. I like that.about you, you are committed to your art. You go girl!

WHATS ON YOUR OTHER HAND!? Whoops wrong channel

YOUR THE BEST KZfaqR EVER!!! I have tried to follow your art and it turned out good and your my best inspiration

I was getting very frustrated with my prisma colors breaking during sharpening. I figured out that if I spin the sharpner around the pencil it's like magic. No more breaking.

Here I am 5 years later and I love how u love Crayola coloured pencils, I’m on assistance and I get nothing really and they’re cheap and u seemlessly blend them ❤

You've been around for years, but I just discovered you today. You're an incredible artist and what a great personality. Thanks for this lesson.

I hate using coloring pencils but this was amazing

This is so beautiful, I love how you combined Crayola and Prismacolor, mind = blown. You're always so fun and quirky to watch.

The final product actually made me hungry XD My mind thought it was a real apple that much

I love relaxing with some tea and just watching your videos

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

Your channel helps me so much :D I'm happy you decided to share your art with everyone :)

I am 9😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 and I have lots of Crayola art stuff 😊😊😊😊😊😓😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

You have a voice that is pleasant to listen to and your lessons are given in a very clear way.

I don't think the apple was supposed to be pure purple in the corner there, but that's just my opinion.

I like how your drawings come out so good and you make it so easy to draw it 😭💕

how do you draw highlights on white paper?

This video is amazing! You explained everything extremely well and it really helped me. I love how you use more easily accessible materials like Crayola colored pencils as opposed to other art tutorials I have found that use very expensive and hard to obtain materials. Not that it’s bad to splurge on art supplies, but you show that incredible art can be made with even the simplest materials. You just earned a new subscriber!

5:07 That scared the crap out of me.

Thanks for being a cheerleader for doing your own thing in art. Your drawings are very nice.

Wow, you have a very unique coloring/blending style Rae. I need to try this out, thanks!

Amazing! However, the light is shining in front of the Apple.... meaning the shadow should be behind the Apple lol

I've tried several times to get color pencils down.. layered. I used the Crayola and Amazon Basics for this Apple. I now have a drawing I'm proud of. Thanks for your help and great videos.

Dude, okay I have looked everywhere for an eraser pencil! I used mine up, and now I cannot find them anywhere!! Where do you get yours?? Plzzzz reply I have to know lol

Wow I love your apple. I also like drawing them. That is really an amazing drawing of one. Keep up the videos !

I’m just saying that the shadow was facing the light source 🤷‍♀️

Hi! I’m a learning artist. I used to not know about blending, or any other brand of colored pencil. This helped me a lot. Thank you!

I BLEND WITH MY FINGER F1TE ME!1!1 oops did I comment that out loud yeah eh I use a paper blender...

That's sooooo gooood Thanks for explaining too on how to do it I was having a really hard time getting the right colors to blend

Do you voice Katelyn? One of Aphmaus characters ? You sound just like her!!!

Omg I thought the thumbnail was a real apple AWESOME ART RAE!!!!

Mine turned to an abomination. Like, can you teach on how to do all of the strokes and stuff? Because you can see the strokes of my colored pencils.

I really have problems blending with the colored pencils and I didn’t know I could do like that! Thank u so much for showing me this tutorial! 😍 😍😍😍😍

Freaking Apple looks so real,It might just be eatable.

your work is amazing!! it always makes me happy to see your videos! so never stop making them!

I use a q-tip to blend after I layer prisma colour pencils. I'm currently experimenting with different materials and mediums though. If you want to see my art you can check out @jasminka.t on Instagram

I'm inspired. I haven't done any art in too long. Thanks for inspiring me.

nice drawing . but very confusing:'(

I have learned so much from you from blending colours to how to draw and as a artist I have to say thank you because of you my art is actually kinda good

The light spot on the apple is so well done.

You have great tutorials. I also love your nails in this one!

You always inspire me. Thank you, Rae! I now created my own art account on Instagram. I have no art background, but hopefully, I could apply what I've learned from you

I love your channel Rae It’s not only really entertaining but really educational

I did this apple with you a few months ago. Now i got prismacolor. Can't wait do it again.

First & best video I've seen using crayola. Thanks for the tips & your humor

This helps so much since I'm a black and white artist. I rarely use color but when I do I only do it to highlight one spot of my drawing

I also like how you use cheap pencils as well. I cannot always be buying prismas and to see you using them together is very helpful

it always amazes me when the pic becomes shiny and life like

I love your videos, your art and your personality and yay! You're a lefty, like me! Some of the best artists are! 😆😊😉

I got really confused when you put your pencil on the paper in the intro because I forgot that it was flat. Good job on the blending, it had me fooled even though I knew XD I always admire your skill, especially the hair you draw, you always manage to make it look even better when I think its done. I also like how you say that it's your way in the title instead of how to, and repeat that there's no specific way to art, you're right, it's an expression.

Your voice is like one of my gamer friends, nice voice, smart, and informative ;)

Awesome! So beautiful and I love how you incorporate artist level tools with just any ol basic tool, shows that we don't have to be top of the line (tool-wise) and yet can bring about amazing professional level art! You're right we are the artist and we can do whatever works for us! :)

I color to relax and trying blending now. It seems to get a little better each time.

That's amazing! I've never seen anyone do it that way before. I love the idea of mixing high and low cost items, as well as unconventional items, to get the effect you want. :)

I like how to make every art even more perfect, you inspired me to draw! Thank you!

Guurl i just found your channel by accident, i am definitily staying!

Just getting into blending of colored pencils. Really like your apple you make it look achievable

Her voice is just so calming

Another amazing video. Thank you. I think your perfectionism makes your art so appealing and why your reviews are so satisfying
