I put a piece of sandpaper under the paper to give the rocks a bumpy look! It worked!

Thank you for this video. I love your work. I use Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils most of the time, & also Black Widow. I'm going to try to find comparable colors to do this. :)

Could you possibly do a video on how to color a street so it looks wet?? I can't seem to do this.... I would appreciate it very very much. Thank you.

When are you going to do the crab?

@lsabry 5 жыл бұрын

Your work is beautiful. The way you use colour and your blending... breathtaking. Instagram is great for looking at your work but there are only two people that I really wish would start doing KZfaq videos again and that's Peta and of course, you. Any chance you could film again? Even once a month?

How neat!!! Curious. Is this being colored in the book or on a printout of it?

This is colored in the book, I don't want to deal with copyright issues :-)

@sheilapechman8962 5 жыл бұрын

Interesting video. I like the music too. Only suggestion is to be aware that you have several blurry areas making it hard to adjust eyes

I have been trying to colour rocks and stumbled upon your demo, I love the end result.. Next the crab.., Did you draw them or did they come in the book?

I can't get the right effect on the paper in the Johanna Basford books. My work is streaky and not gently blended. It's like the paper is too slippery. I'm going to try sketch paper.

I wonder how a Caran D’ache blender pencil is different from Derwent? Is Derwent dry like a Prisma or creamy like Caran D’ache? That is truly amazing!

@colorartbybettyhung 5 жыл бұрын

Yes Derwent blender is similar to Prisma. 😍

May I ask what paper you used here? It has a nice tooth.

Hi Dawna, I colored directly in Hanna Karlzon's book.

Nice work on the stones. That said, just for future reference... if I may, that music drove to the brink of complete insanity. I'd rather listen to a lawn mover or a leaf blower or.... well you get the idea. I would've liked to hear your thought process.

Too funny. I muted it. Yes I too would have loved to hear her thought process or just talking.

The rocks look great BUT why post this video w/out falling through with the colors you’re using. You started off showing what colors you used but then stopped. Are we supposed to guess? This is what’s so frustrating when people add videos like this. People will get all set up to follow along just to realize what a waste of our time…. Bc you didn’t finish. So I disliked
