Finally someone who understands most people can't buy the big set of prismacolor pencils in the click of a finger and actually has the sense to show us you can do amazing things for a smaller price and a smaller amount of pencils

That was amazing, up until now I believed the white color pencil was useless but not anymore 😅

I'm 63 years old ... I've been drawing since a toddler and using Prismacolors since the 80's ... After saying all that, I need to say, you have shown me tachniques that I never considered and have taught this "old dog" some wonderful new tricks. Thank you.

I am so glad that you made this video! I have the 24 set and I always feel discouraged.

We see all these top artists like Heather Rooney, Marcelo Berenghi and so on who like you have a gift from God for what you do, but not many do a thorough tutorial like this! Thank you so much for your hard work and I also like the fact that you added subtitles for the deaf people watching.. (I guess it is for them as you speak perfect English)....nice touch! I'm sure I speak for all your mortal fans when I beg you to do more videos like this. Just found you and subrcribed ☺

I love watching these videos of realism artists. Learning so much. Especially about patience and color composition.

I'm so glad you made this. I just got the prismacolor 12 set and i couldn't for the love of me find out how to do a nice skin shade with the primary colours. this tutorial helped out ALOT. thank you!!!

Amazing! I love how you created wonderful work with just the twelve set! As I heard a famous artist say before, "A good artist can create outstanding work with any medium, pencils, or paints."

Excellent tutorial on blending colored pencils for skin tones especially using only 12 colors. Better than other "well known" experts.

my set of 48 along with some canson paper is on the way, so I'm watching a lot of tutorials to be prepared. This one was honestly the best! not everyone can afford the big set!! you showed us that you can make incredible art with a smaller number of supplies!

This is incredible, I didn't think you could do a face with a set of 12 pencils. It's got such depth and so close to the photo.

Outstanding work! It's amazing what white can do when used to blend.

It's so nice to see a prismacolor portrait tutorial that is actually explained! I tried another drawing after months of not drawing at all and i made the mistake of pressing so hard on the shadows areas that i will have to start again tonight. Also i haven't tried the palette idea so thanks for that!

A fellow Lefty!!! We are the minority of Art People! Hats off to you!

This is such a fantastic video! I learned so much from your video because you go step by step. What I love most about your video is that you include the colors you used to achieve the colors used in the drawing. Majority of artist don't do that which leaves newbies like me bewildered and confused lol. Hope to learn more from your videos.

In my opinion this has to be the best Portrait tutorial,easy to follow clear and concise.Excellent artwork too.

Unbelievable! So amazing watching your art work come alive! You are truly gifted.

Absolutely the best colored pencil tutorial I have ever seen.

I’m from India... 😱 OMG.. Left hand Drawing.. OSM...Simply Superb...👍💐 Thank U..Now that I have brushed all my ordinary pencils and stopped investing on the costlier ones...😊

HANDS DOWN THE BEST TUTORIAL HERE! Thank you!

This video made me realize that I don't have to buy the biggest set of Prismacolor Premier color pencils. Thank you!

Having watched countless tutorials about blending coloured pencils, this is a masterclass, at least for a beginner like me. I was wide-eyed with amazement that you could create such subtle skin tones with so few pencils. Whenever I get stuck in the future, this will be my 'go to' reference. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to show us the fruits of countless hours practice. You are amazing and inspirational. Ray

This video was made 7 years ago.. I can't believe that you can create such a masterpiece just with 12 colours wonderful!!

The best tutorial I've ever watched here in youtube.

Very impressive. This tutorial is everything I need. This KZfaq channel deserve more subscribers and views.

you're a savior. finally, i found a great tutorial how to blend and color skin correctly. good job.

Luisina ; please always do this type of tutorial because we can actually learn something. those fast motion speed drawing or speed painting is so fast no one can learn anything. They don't communicate what is actually being done by the artist. please reconsider this new tutorial style for all your future tutorials so that we can really learn from you. A million thank-yous for taking the time to teach this tutorial. It is so worth it for us. All your hard work is really worth it. If I ever have anything worth making a tutorial ,I will do the same and pass it forward thank-you

Gifted!!! Totally remarkable tutorial!!! The best!!!

Yes, I just found you too and you have done an amazing job. So explicit! Thanks so much.

Thank you for such a detailed tutorial. There a are so many speed drawings out there that you don't learn a thing from. You took the time to add every color you used and it was so helpful. It's amazing what you can accomplish with only 12 colors! You are a gifted artist. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for taking the time to make a thorough video! It is extremely helpful!

Thank you so much! You're tutorial is the only one I found that was actually helpful in understanding how to layer colours and use the white coloured pencil properly.

Thank you for the tutorial. You're totally amazing. I would have never realized what can be done with those few colors. I can't wait to get started. Thanks again.

This is one of the best colored pencil tutorials I have seen. Thank u so much for sharing

First truly educational portrait tutorial, excellent color tutorial! I'm amazed! Thank you!

Such a beautiful drawing for a beautiful person 😄👏🏽👏🏽

Amazing! I just started drawing Portland was using watercolour to colour them after I spent hours sketching. As a result I felt I lost some detail and could not get the realistic look I wanted. I thought about Prismacolor pencils but didn’t know how they would look and they are expensive! To see you do this beautiful lifelike drawing with only 12 pencils was inspirational and encouraged! New subscriber!!

Learned so much watching this tutorial. Thanks so very much!

You make it look so easy wow what a talent!!

This is amazing I am shocked at what you can do with 12 color pencils I bought the 24 pack of prisma colors and just looked at it because I was scared I wouldn't be able to do much but you gave me hope I hope you can do more videos like this one because it's so inspirational

I have been seeing this video in the suggestions for a while now. I have the 24 premier set as a birthday present and I haven't touched it because I always thought that I don't have enough colors. this will really help me out as an amateur. Thank you! subscribed

Had to subscribe immediately! I was saving money to buy the complete set, but now I've changed my mind :) Thank you! Very beautiful and talented!

thats amazing thank you i just bought the set of 12 as this is what i can afford for now. its encouraging!!!

I've learned something new after watching this video, fine illustration... !

I admit I like the softer feel of prismacolor but I have no problem working with crayola. I am able to charge much less for my portraits while still making a profit and retaining the value my customers expect from me. I love how you show us we can create the shades and colors needed with fewer pencils, that is very helpful.

Im really impressed with how u use colors. I am definitely learning a lot from you!

Thank you! I have the hardest time blending realistic skin with my 12 set, I will be moving on to the skin shades soon, but this is perfect for now.

Your drawings are sooooo amazing and incredibly inspiring!!!!!!! I also love ur cat she's so cute!

You are SO amazing!!! THANK you for this tutorial!!!!🙏🏾💕💕💕

thank you for this tutorial. I've just started using prismacolor pencil, 24 set. Great to know that you can actually do portraits with only 12 set. I hope you do more tutorials like this one.

Thank you for such an awesome video Luisina. I'm surprised I haven't seen this before now. I love how you break it down and show you can do a portrat with just the 12 set.

This video is super helpful. I've been struggling with using colour pencils even though I'm good with black and white. Thank you!

Thank you so much for helping a fellow artist out! I thought I needed one of those colorless blending pencils to blend my primsa color, because they tend to be very grainy, but i see we can use white ! :)
