What pencils I use because that's the...
I dropped my phone
my hands are purple because of the cold weather
I hope you don't get distracted by them
HELLO!
This is like the 100th attempt to film this intro
and I don't know how to do it and I still don't like it
but... yeah...
deal with it
it's not important
today
I'm going to show you
what pencils I use!!
because that's the questions that you guys ask the most, everywhere
on instagram, on youtube, in all the comments sections
everywhere
even on my live streams there's people asking what pencils do you use
so today I'm finally answering in a video specially dedicated to this
because I think you guys deserve it
you deserve it
for all your support, for all your love
I'm going to share my biggest secrets
the pencils that I use are
too many
I use a loooot of pencils, different brands
but I started drawing thanks to these pencils
I mean I've been drawing my whole life
but I never tried drawing portraits
and when my mom gave me these pencils
I was like this is it, this is what I needed
I'll start drawing now
so in this video I'm going to show you guys exactly which ones I use
because I don't use all 36 of them
I'm going to show you
which ones I use, how I use them, how I mix them
for what I use each color
all your questions
everything, everything, you'll know everything today
so keep watching because this is going to get interesting
so now I'm going to show you what's inside of the box
it's pretty obvious which are the colors that I use the most
there are a bunch of them that I don't use
for example the green ones, they're pretty brand new, the blue ones too
the yellow and oranges are almost brand new as well
I haven't use them much because I don't really need them for my drawings
but over here
these are the top 5 colors that I use the most
and the white pencil too
a lot of people have asked me for recomendations
which box they should get
the 36 set, the 24 set, 12
and I have the 36 pieces box, but I use
6 colors
7
so maybe it's not necessary to spend a looot of money
on getting a bunch of colors
if you actually need just a few
also
I use other pencils
that are
right here
these two are also Polychromos
I bought them separately at a store
they're sold separately
so I went into a store and asked for a light brown
and a light pink
and these have worked really really really good
and this one is a common Faber-Castell
from the set that you would get to go to school
and this one
I don't even know the brand (CARAN d'ACHE)
I went into a store and asked for like a peach color, or a skin tone color, however you call it
I wanted to get one that was really really clear
and this is what they gave me
and it has worked really well
so I recommend you guys to do the same thing
if you need a color, go to get it at a store
because these are all sold separately
and keep trying different pencils because they're obviously not the same
not all of them work for what you want
so yeah
now I'm going to show you how to use them
in this blank paper I'm going to show you real quick
which ones I use, how I use them, how I mix them up
I use these two for the skin
they're obviously very different
this one is more orange-ish
and I like it because
it's more like realistic, more alive, more saturated
compared to this one which is like really really clear
but it depends on the portrait that I'm coloring
there's people who's really pale so I use this one
Sometimes I don't use this one
sometimes this one is the one that I don't use
it depends on the drawing that I'm working on
and on the person's skin color
sometimes I mix them together
sometimes this one is too dark
so I use a little bit of this one on top of it
and they KIND OF mix up
or this one is not dark enough
so I add some color
with this one, but it barely changes
trial and error
I bought this pink color becuase
even though the box already has a pink color
this one is too intense
so sometimes I wanted to colour just a little bit
like to add some blush to the face
but it was too intense or dark
so with this one, I was good
and also this one
when I try to mix it up with the skin
it was too much color
but the new one, gives it just a soft touch
which was exactly what I needed
so you just have to try
this one
I bought it to use it for shading
beacuse this brown is too intese/strong
so if I wanted to do a shading like... soft
it didn't work
but this one was like perfect for it
and when mixing it with the skin it's still soft
not like this one that's too dark
and the box already has a light brown in it
but
it is like yellow-ish
so, it didn't work for me
so...
I use this pencil a lot
I use it a lot to do all the shading, for the eyes, the nose, etc etc etc
I actually love it very much, I think it's my favorite pencil
the white one
I use it for example in these cases
when the colors are too sharp
when they don't blend well
I cover them with white to like blend them, to blur them a little
so the brown is not too strong anymore
look, I'm going to show you
I could leave this one like that
but if I add some white
the brown fades, it's like it blends
and that's something that I like
it's more realistic
the real skin doesn't have like sharp shades on it
so I like using the white pencil, sometimes it's necessary
sometimes
there are some shades that are darker
so
i use the grey pencils
and it also depends on the photo, the reference
if it has very very dark shades
or if you need a not so strong shade
you can barely see this one
but it does make the difference when I use it
so you just have to try
and now I think this is the moment that you've all been waiting fore
because it is also what you guys ask the most along with what pencils I use
you guys ask a lot for this pen
you guys are like "what's that white pen? how is it called?"
"where did you get it? I want to get it" etc etc
just like you guys, I used to see some artists using a white pen
so one day I went into a store and asked the lady like
"I'm looking for a white pen"
and she was like
"this is what we have"
with it you can coulour
anything
and this pen...
it doesn't work at the very beginning
in fact, I always try it on my hand or on another paper
until it works
and when it finally works it's not too strong
in fact, in my time lapses videos I always speed up even more the clips where I'm using this pen
because I have to use it for the longest time to make it visible
I don't know if this is the best one, but it's the only one I've found
and at least it works
so far, it works its magic
to add the sparkles in the eyes, the shinny hair
sometimes I mess up
I don't know, I'm colouring the skin
imagine this is a face haha
I'm colouring the skin
I'm adding some shades
I'm adding some shades
and idk I suddenly go too hard and I drew a line that I didn't mean to
so I take the white pen
and I cover it up
I colour on top of it
I let it dry a little
and I cover it again with the peach color
it's not going to work right now because I'm doing it too fast
but it does work for fixing problems
sometimes a draw an eye, I'm going to show you now
so sometimes I'm drawing
and I
draw a line over here
and then I realize I don't like it
so I cover it up with this pen
I cover it a looot of times, it's like layer after layer after layer
until the black color disapears a little
I mean, from up close you'll be able to see it's a little dark there
but sometimes, in cases of emergency
this helps
so I let it dry
and then I go and colour over it and you can get away with that
also you can use it on top of the colouring
to add the little sparkles that I want and I like that
so if you guys can get one of these pen, do it
because it is really really really good
and now. a quick recap
these are literally the pencils that I use THE MOST
I own the 36 pieces box, but I use like
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11.
so you don't NEED to buy the box of 36 colors
maybe you can save up some money and buy
6 Ploychromos
and some others from different brands
these two aren't Polychromos
and they work anyway, they're good
and maybe, if they were Polychromos they would probably be better
but if this is good enough... I'm not a demanding person
there's people who think that if they don't have the BEST pencils in the market they won't be able to draw well
but no. That depends on every single person
you set your own limits
if you get the polychromos box, don't stick to using only those pencils
because I bought this one separately, I bought this one separately, this one separately
so, you can do it too
if you think that the pencils you have are not good enough, go and buy ONE pencil
some people is like "why did you buy only ONE pencil?" and I'm like "because this is THE pencil that I need"
and that's it. I don't need to buy 24 pencils if I'm going to use just one
so take the risk, try it, fail
it can heppen, like it happened to me, that I bought this pencil and I didn't like it at all
and those are experiences, you can learn from that
so... yeah...
I think that's all I can say about the pencils that I use
