I love the idea of just playing around and combining all the mixed media we have and not looking for tutorials right away! It eases up some of the pressure. Always so so inspiring, Katie! Love your art and appreciate you so much! ❤❤❤

You are always so lovely, thank you so much!! 🥰 Absolutely - it just reminds me to have fun and try stuff out, rather than thinking about the 'right' way of doing it! And I definitely don't believe in that when it comes to art 😄

I love that you said when you get a new medium that you just start playing with it instead of watching tutorials. I do that too because I'm just so impatient to have fun with it 😂 Sometimes I watch videos of other artists using the medium as I'm waiting for it to be delivered because I'm so excited 😅 and that's how I found your channel actually as I was looking up neocolor videos. 😊

I have the free app 'sketch a day' which gives you a random word each day, it's definitely helped me be more creative, but it's also nice because I don't feel pressured to do a big 'piece'. Some days it's a 5 minute sketch, others it's something I take a bit more time on

Fantastic videos as always! Video idea not sure if possible, but I’m really curious on how to pick and choose textures with the color pencils. I get overwhelmed once I’ve put the colors where to go with the color pencils or neocolors. Thank you so much!

@KatieMoody 29 күн бұрын

Thank you so much, Ungria! Oooh what a good question! I often use them just for details on top, or to add linework etc. For Neocolors I often add it over some lines I've already placed or on areas I'd like to highlight such as the horizon. I'll see if I can explain better and include it in a future video when talking about my process! 💖

So many fun ideas! For the masking fluid, what is the best way to remove it? I've seen artists use an array of things to varying degrees of success

@KatieMoody 29 күн бұрын

Thank you for watching! I found it easiest to remove with an eraser! I've seen artists have good success with a putty eraser too. It's definitely easier than just using your fingers to grip it and get that first 'pull'

Loved this video! What brand of gouache do you use? And one more question, would you recommend tombow over ecoline? ❤

@KatieMoody 29 күн бұрын

Thank you so much! I use Winsor and Newton or Daler Rowney Designers Gouache interchangeably - they are both fantastic and mix well together too! I find the Tombows have a better shade range especially for muted colours, but the Ecolines can be more juicy. I've got a video comparing them on my channel so I'll link that below for you 😊 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bM1xlbdqyLyVep8.html

@KatieMoody 29 күн бұрын

Thank you so much, and welcome! My favourite brush is the size 10 round brush - I love the Daler Rowney Graduate range but most round brushes are equivalent! It's so versatile as it has a tapered tip but also great for laying down big blocks of colour 🤗

I'm curious but what books do you use for your references? Because these references are gorgeous!! I'm not a huge fan of using my phone all the time for references so having some reference books where I could just pop in and use it as a physical copy of my reference would be relieving. So if you have any suggestions or if you would like to let me know which ones you used in this video that would be very helpful!! PS This is a lovely video and you are a fantastic artist have a wonderful day!! 💖

I love using books for referencing and having them in front of me rather than a screen!

@Littlewings1211 Ай бұрын

Out of curiosity, why do you add in the colour palette to the side of your drawing after you have finished it? I've seen people do it before to check whether a particular pen is the one they want or see how several colours will look together - I've also seen people add the name/number of the colour next to the spot so that they can easily find the same colour in future etc, but I don't think I've seen someone just add it on the side afterwards. Did you include all of the colours/mediums you used in those little colour palette swatches?

@KatieMoody 29 күн бұрын

I know a lot of artists do it to reference and test but for me, it's purely aesthetic! I just love the way it looks and how it adds a little more colour to each spread. I don't swatch every single colour or medium, usually just the main ones and also depending on how much space I have 😊
