I've been asked by friends how I do some of the gradient effects in my coloring so I made a quick demonstration on how I do this.
Let me know if this was helpful and if there's anything else you would like to have me demonstrate.

Truer words have never been spoken “I know what we’re like.” Us artists are PERFECTIONISTS, as well as our worst critics. And yes, those of us who color are definitely artists.

You are a great teacher, Calm smooth voice and you made the Technics you used look very simple. Sometimes we forget that this is supposed to calm us down or we are to just enjoy coloring and you showed us how we are to be calm and don't stress with the technics we sometimes forget how to do. Thank you very much Jeffrey.

Hi, thanks for doing this video. What I liked: You gave the exact pencil colour and brand you used every time, it’s very helpful information and you seem very likeable and kinda funny - I laughed at the “tough love” part 😄. The only thing I didn’t like quite so much was that you had background music, although it was much better music than some of the things you get where you just about have to mute the whole thing. It was kind of nice but a depressing sort of piece. But I find any background music on any instructional videos to be distracting. Because I’m about to go into pencils this year (last year it was gel pens but they can be a bit limiting) so I want to know what pencil sets to buy, could you please tell me, from the pencils you named and used in this video, what are the actual sets you used, as there’s many different Prisma and Derwent sets on the market? And also, do you have a recommendation for the Polychromos? I want to buy about three brands of the very large sets of the best pencils around and any suggestions would be really appreciated 👍 Thanks again for doing this video. Sending you some lovin’ from Australia 🇦🇺

As everyone said youre really good at teaching, thanks!! But I find using the dark color first (blend technique) then the light more logic because the lighter color blend the darker when you use it after... but the darker using after will just dark your lighter one...unless you pass the lighter after but Id have to try this.... Its just My proposition xD Im not saying is wrong to use the lighter color first!

@evillittlemcnuggets 4 жыл бұрын

Setsuna Pluto I did that too for the longest. I noticed that I would tend to overuse the dark color because I didn’t realize how little I needed. Both works fine, but I’m now more happy with my art when I use the light color first

@life_poet 4 жыл бұрын

I think using the light color first with oil colored pencils are easier... at least I did that with Marco Raffine (they said its oil) and it was easier... using the dark with prismas was better...I dont know... I find so hard blending both ways with the Raffine... maybe is the brand?maybe Im a crap 😢? I dont know... what brand do you use?

@CraftingWithJeff 4 жыл бұрын

This is why in later videos I tend to say that this is how I do it, but feel free to use, modify or ignore anything I say as long as you like the results you're getting. The idea here is for folks to enjoy what they're doing. That's the most important thing.

Dot from UK Some good tips there thank you for sharing, how do you sharpen your pencils and what do you do if you drop your pencil and the lead breaks especially when sharpening? Dot.

@CraftingWithJeff Жыл бұрын

I use a Prismacolor manual pencil sharpener which gives me a decent point. The sad thing about Prismacolor pencils is that sharp points break easily and if you drop a pencil you can break the lead. I've read you can put them in an oven and the leads inside will melt and reform, but I've never tried this myself. I'll have to do a video on sharpening.

I know this is off topic from the video itself, but I was wondering what technique you use to organize all of your pencils? By color or by brand, then color. I have 3 different brands and I want a 4th plus I have a couple of different marker brands and gel pen brands and I'm getting new ones one those as well. Anyone and everyone is welcome to answer. (loved The Doctor comment! Nice when you find fellow Whovians!) Great coloring tips! Thank you and please do share more.

@CraftingWithJeff 6 жыл бұрын

I sort my pencils by brand, then color. Since I use two different brands that use different pigment types (one's wax, the other oil) I prefer to keep them separate and then just keep them in semi-cohesive color groups. I also tend to keep my Tombows and Copics separate since they're different shapes and different ink bases (water vs. alcohol).

@CraftingWithJeff 6 жыл бұрын

I tend toward using Bristol cardstock or the thicker papers that a lot of coloring books use. I don't use watercolor pencils myself so I can't help you there. About the pressure, you're more likely to break the lead if you press too hard rather than ruin the paper.
