I had no idea gel pens could be so versatile. Thank you for helping me make more of the supplies I already have on hand.

I love coloring with my gel pens. I thank you for showing techniques to do with gel pens and colored pencils together.

i colour with gel pens when i do posters. ..i was looking for a video for tips because I'm always looking to make my art better. ...this helped allot i enjoyed it!

Opened up a whole new world. I am kinda new stress relief coloring adult. I am in dialysis and found that with needles in one arm and a auto cuff on the other for 4 hours every other day it not only is a de-stresser for me but something beautiful comes out of an otherwise not very pleasant part of my life. (Bare in mind that I am a very avid thread crocheter and can get pretty creative with duct tape but am not able to do either of those and am not good at all at napping, watching TV, much less sitting still). I had only been using gel pens. Thank you for the new and beautiful idea!

Thank you Cher for your books. Coloring has made me feel less anxious and i've curious about using gel pens.

I love getting away from all the politics and stress of everything and just sit down and draw. This video was awesome too and I may use these in the future!

What a detailed, comprehensive video. Thank you

What a great technique! I am so excited to try it. Thanks for your clear instructions and for providing a super useful idea.

Thank you for your video. I've learned a lot from you regarding coloring with gel pens, colored pencils and blending with water!! I'm new to coloring books as an elderly woman and am looking forward to using all of the things available to use for coloring, blending methods and tools!!! WHOOOHOO 😀

Cher, thank you so much for making this great video. I feel like I've just taken an art class. I actually viewed it once before when I was just starting out in my journey with adult coloring books and I think I've gotten quite a bit more out of the video this time, what with being more familiar with some of the terminology.I also watched your video about 12 blending methods and I was blown away. I have tried several of the techniques you discussed but with a kind of hit and miss application. Seeing you demonstrate as you explain has made all the difference in the world. It's late tonight but I can't wait till the morning light to try out what you've taught me. Another art class - two in one night and you can't beat the cost of admission.Thanks so much for freely sharing your talent and your expertise. You're super!

I just bought some new gel pens and seeing these techniques seem really cool to try!

Thank you. Your video has opened up new possibilities for using my colored pencils.

You are really elevating this to an art form! Love it! Love your style of teaching, too!

Thanks for the high quality lessons

Dear Cher , every single one of your videos are a delight to watch and a wealth of information. I have learned so much from these videos and thank you for sharing them with your viewers. Dolores

Thank you so much. I've done creative works but never colouring in. Now I have many pencils in various textures and just found gels. You taught me so much 😊 So good for stress relief too.

I’m so glad that I did a search for Gesso uses and found you! I never though about using the annoyance of gel pens for an advantage. This opens up a new world of bringing art into my life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity.

My kids will enjoy doing this

Thank you for all of your videos! I have viewed enough of them to be able to say with confidence that they are my favorite tutorials! You have helped me to further my enjoyment of coloring. I appreciate your contributions!

Thanks for sharing your gel pen tips. The watercolor effect is beautiful.

I love the way you took your time 2 do all of this for your viewers all of us are happy now !!!!!! PS:💙 this VIDEO AND GEL PENS ✍🏾✍🏾

Awesome mini class Cher! I like the way this blending technique softens the pencil marks. Thank you for sharing! God bless.

Excellent video Cher. Learned a lot from this demo. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

I enjoyed you video SOOO much, not only am I an artist but I bought my gel pen collection just for writing. I have over 125 of them and had NO idea that I could use them with my prism pencils. I am so excited about that. "Thank You" for such wonderful videos hun!!!!!

WOW! Awesome tips and lots informations! Your a very good teacher thank you very much for sharing!

I know this video has been on here a long time lol. But I just watched it and I am floored. It is amazing!!!! I must say that I would have never thought of doing that. Your a wonderful artist and thank you for showing me this way of coloring. And the way you teach is awesome as well. I love coloring with my gel pens and my prisma colors. So I'm super excited to try this out. Thank you again so so much

I'm an artist, and this video was very helpful. I have some Pentel dual Hybrid pens, and I mainly used that dry application for accents and areas I want to draw the eye to (also bullet journalling, those things absolutely rock for accents on lettering). I really need to try some of these techniques for myself: this is a great excuse to dust off my beloved old pencils and give those a shot in combination with those pens. I have a set of Bruynzeel Colour design pencils that I love to death, but I barely use them because my water-based markers got closer to the quality of my digital work (I mainly draw digitally). Happy to get back to them, it's kind of getting back to the roots of my artwork.

Thank you! I can't wait to use this technique.

Thank you for your informative tutorial. I have bookmarked it right away. And I really like your art designs and coloring!

You give excellent instructions. Now I know how to use my gel pens with my coloring book.

I used to be awful at drawing with gel pens but this helped a lot! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your instructions. I have been so afraid to try to do all these things you have talked about. Now I'm not so intimidated. You have such a wonderfully calming voice. I look forward to more learning with you. By the way, you are amazingly talented too.

I'm an abstract acrylic painter and learned some cool things. Your voice is verrrry relaxing. Like Bob Ross! Happy little mandalas! ;-)

This was really helpful I need to buy gel pens now.

This is a good tutorial video about gel pens. Have you tried blending with glycerin instead of water...or mixed with a bit of water. It doesn't tear the page up like using just water does.

I draw with Pilot G-2's allllll the time. I love the black and red ones.

love it just dug out my gel pen.collection from storage

Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent with us! You have truly inspired me to bring gel pens in as my color medium for my card making. I am looking forward to implementing these FANTASTIC tips you shared with us! Hugs

Thank you for sharing your videos

I love coloring in books thanks for helping me out 😊

Wow thank you for making this video. So many great ideas👌👌

I love those I have those pens

Such awesome tips. Thanks!

My first experience was a G2 20 pen set. It's a great set for beginners! The set I'm currently using the 60 set from Arteza. So far I'm really enjoying it!

Thank u for the tips on colouring tips for gel pens. I am going to try it on my colouring books.💕🙋‍♀️

You're a great artist, Cher!!!😊

Thanks for doing this now I know how to blend and how do use gel pens and Prisma color pencils

Great video 😁💕

The sakura gelly roll moonlight are amazing!! They are so smooth and nice i love coloring with them. If you let them dry for a min they wont smear.

I love your videos!!! So informative and easy to follow. I have not been having much luck with my gel pens so, this has helped a lot!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!

Wow, you are good at speaking the language of beginner artists :P Thank you for the inspiration and techniques. Thanks again, and a hug! :)

Wonderful techniques..... thank you for sharing is caring! 😉 😚 😎

Amazing, that adds so much more dimension to colored pencil art, and it doesn't take much. I just got some gel pens and was really inspired by this technique (I never tried blending them with water before). Thanks for sharing this!! ❤️

Very helpful ..Thank You!!

Loved the techniques ❤️

Love you tutorial.

Thanks for the tip😊

Me 2 years ago: Man I wanna color. I'll get these two books. (literally the 2 your hold up) Me a week ago: I've never colored with gel pens. Let's try it out. eeeeehhh.. I don't much like this. Me today: Well it looks like I'll be giving gel pens another shot. Also thank you very much for the coloring books! It really helped me to feel like I accomplished something while I was pregnant with my twins since I couldn't do much else.

brilliant,thankyou.

Hi I absolutely love your mandala books they make me feel less stressed

Never thought of doing!

Please make your color books with a spiral bind!!!

Very helpful tip re colored pencil

Thanks for the tip. I will definitely be trying that out

this is so cool. good job

I really like that you explain all the different tools you can use for painting. I have a 24hrs trip to do from Australia to london and I already bought one of these types of book from kaisercraft to paint on the plane to keep me busy. I will try to apply what you have showed today. Thank you also for explaining what is a blender pen because I was always confused by it.

Hi Cher! I really am enjoying my new coloring book I received as a gift recently and it has brought a renewed interest in art for me. Thank you for sharing your time, talent and skills here. You are a good teacher who makes learning easy. I'm on the lookout for some pencils, markers, or gel pens that are clear or white but can add a pearl, metallic, iridescent or sparkly wash over color that is already on the paper, and also ones that can add just plain solid shiny or glittery "bling." I'm open to using a blending medium like water or mineral spirits, but want to keep things simple so I can color without needing to sit at a table. A container of water or mineral spirits on the end table next to me is about as far as I want to "spread out" while keeping the rest of my coloring tools in a shallow, open, smallish box in my lap. I like to put up my feet and color on a book or clipboard resting on the arm of the recliner. I'd also like to add another effect which looks as close to gold leaf or metallic foiling as possible. Would you please suggest some brands of gel pens, markers, or pencils (regular or watercolor) for me? Thanks so much ~ Janet

You are such a talented Lady, I love that you explain so well and take some time to show. New subscriber here. Happy New Year !

very very happy i stumbled upon this Video, 1. just wanted to let u kno this tutorial is great, u have the voice and great at teaching.. 2. I love to use gel pens, I have a bunch of the Gelly Roll pens, im super excited about trying this technique out... Thanks for sharing!!!!

Thank you so much, you're very thorough when explaining and I really appreciate that💖

really a great tips !! even for beginner

Beautiful, i love it

Fascinating and creative. Thanks for these ideas. :)

Thank you for sharing, I am new to your channel and am enjoying your tutorials. I am new to colouring and trying to learn some blending techniques but noticing many of the colouring artists are using Prismacolours or pollycromos pencils which I do not have as they are a lil out of my price range at this time but I have been gifted a 36set of Derwent Studio pencils and wondered if your blending techniques both with pencils and with pencils and gel pens would work using the Derwent Studio pencils or does it make a difference using the higher quality pencils? Does it matter if the pencils used are wax based or oil based? Am interested to learn the answers please, and thank you in advance ❤️

a link that takes viewers to the purchase site of the books would be a favorable addition to this tutorial. MUCH appreciated that you kindly shared your knowledge and skills with me. Thank you and be well. Bye now

Cher loving u more thank u i a million

I have those but I have used 2 sets of them all ready

thank you.

What a good idea, I know what I will be doing later

awe thank you Cher I'm coloring and importing I did pencil first then prismacolor market second gonna do gel/glitter pen last..

got an idea of using it in glowing things up!! ty

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I have gel pens, water color pencils, and colored pencils that I very seldom use because I just didn't know how, and now I do! :-) Can water color pencils be used this way instead of regular colored pencils? Another question: what do you do with your completed coloring pages? Frame them, cut them up to use to make cards, etc.?

Very helpful video. It will definitely help my coloring. One thing that I would like to ask is your recommendation for coloring larger areas like in coloring books with figures with fashions. Do you have any suggestions for coloring these larger areas. Would you use the same type of techniques. I feel I really need help with coloring larger areas. Thanks

Yay! i just got my first set of 48!

I like the affect you get from the gel pen but I don't like the harsh lines you can get from the gel pens if you don't get them in the right spot with that said how do you get rid of the harsh lines from the gel pen.

Hi Miss Cher. I began coloring almost a year and have picked up so many valuable tips while enjoying your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I have purchased your 2 books. What part of the planet do you reside? Jim.

Have you ever tried blending your gel pen with glycerin? Works like a charm.

Thanks always thought how to fill in the parts that the gel pen doesn’t fill in great video
