I thank the KZfaq gods for recommending me this video. This guy was actually more insightful and helpful than my drawing lecture. THANKS, @Phil Davies Artist

Thanks much for the brilliant tutorial & I will definitely have a go on it! I am a beginner & just bought a set of Caran d’ache water soluble pastel obsessed by their vibrant colors! I would love for a tutorial step by step for the tips & techniques for it! Thanks very much 🙏🙏

Thank you *so* much. There are some great art videos around, but it's not often that I spend just a couple of hours watching and feel that my entire approach to art has just shifted and (potentially) been made so very much better. I love animals, and (with practice) will now be able to approach drawing them with a simple, reliable and non-scary process. Loved your friendly teaching style and verbal descriptions of the "what, how and why" of everything too. It'll be animal drawings for everyone around these parts for Christmas this year 🙂. Once again, thanks sooo much for these videos.

thanks🦓

I am just a colorist, beginner, this lesson taught me more about blending than any I have seen. Thank you. You’ve made me feel like I can learn and apply. I am 75, so who knows maybe I can be an artist!! I will follow you. Thanks

I love the whole series. Am so glad I found your channel. Thanks to these, I, the perfectionist, finally go "simplification" etched into my brain. But as far as following along... we don't have your Mad-Max-style "mash this" speed booster! Thanks a lot for everything, including the booklet. Subscribed.

Most people who have art videos lie about them being for beginners, but I feel like these tutorials have the perfect balance of both. Way to go!

What kind of paper are you using?

For crying out loud, this cannot be taught. It is simply for the naturally gifted. He just wants you to sign up for his courses and give him money. The simple reason I'm giving up watching these stupid youtube videos, and giving up art in general. It is simply talent, why can't people except this???

Fantastic 😍😍😍😍

Great lesson! Can't wait to have a go at the kingfisher!

It doesn't work I'm afraid, I tried this years ago. Art is simply talent, like I constantly keep saying.

Thank you. A very useful exercise. I did use a blender pen, however, because I unwisely (I'm still experimenting with paper) used a textured pastel paper. Even pressing hard left lots of paper showing through but the blender worked well. Can you recommend paper that works well with coloured pencils?

You mention in the video, the "drawing essentials" course. I can't find reference to this course anywhere.

Amazing! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for excellent steps and instructions. Very easy to follow for beginners in color pencils

This was extremely educational. Will be delighted to follow your next videos. Thank you!

Distinctive and professional, my friend ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

I used to watch your dad and you are a lot like him

Thanks! This was very helpful.

Неужели нет ничего более вдохновляющего для рисования, чем фастфуд?

The negative spaces between the pillars look like they are pillars, not negative space.

Thank you for the free book. You are awesome

i have crayola colored pencils in hand and im ready! Wish me luck... 🤣

this is awesome, thank you so much.

@phildavies hi I’m new to your chat.

Just found your channel, a really fantastic masterclass especially for a beginner like myself..thankyou!

What a great lesson to start,you make it look so easy.Wish I had seen it 50 years ago might have made an artist by now.Thank you.

Thank you Phil! You are one of the best drawing teachers and your didactic and methodical tips are just great. You limit yourself to the essentials and so any layman can keep up.

Thank you Phil for your generosity. Time you devoted for this free instructions indicate how generous you are and how much your love for capturing an image you have.

Excellent tutorial!

Amazing! I want to do your awesome drawing course. I have the money but my bank keeps asking me for proof I am me. Then they say I can go back to you but I can’t find your special course?

Great tutorial.

Thanks for sharing...

Bro ur art is in my art textbook

Great video, thanks. I've been sketching on canvas with graphite pencils and I've tried using different fixatif to protect my final sketches but I can't find anything that seals the graphite and it still smudges. Is there any finish I can try? Thanks.

Nice tutorial, lots of good advice. I think the white gel pen is not archivable - so if you are selling your work, it might not be the best solution. What do you think about using white gouache paint.

Loved it so much so shared on a color pencil art group to do this challenge.

I loved this tutorial. It is so clear. Thanks

I’m very new to colour pencil drawing, your tutorial is amazing. Thankyou for sharing your skills.

Most excellent! Simplicity in adding a bit of color to a sketch. 👍

Can i learn this with Just ball Pen?

Thank you so, so, soooo much!! I am an art teacher and your videos literally saved me (these are the videos I’ve been praying for!). Thank you beyond words for including the photo references….you are amazing!!

Love these exercises, thank you so much. I took this one and coloured it with aquarelle paint. It came out very lovely. Looking forward to the next one, the woods.

This looks amazing! My pastel pencils are on there way.

Try this for size 1888 street with a horse carriage parked up by the side. I’ve told you because I think it would be your type of art?

I liked the more dramatic pen drawing .

This , I really do like. Well done
