Pastel Portrait Tips ~ How to Draw Paint Realistic Grey Hair... the Easy Way. ~ Pastel Pencils
Hi there, thank you so much for clicking the thumbnail and being interested in my work.
In this video, I share with you my techniques and tips on how I create grey hair.
Be sure to watch it right through to the end because here and there I'll be slowing things down in real time
so you can take a closer look.
So let's dive in and take a look.
Right, putting a centre point in the centre of my board there
and that's where I tend to work from when I'm using a freehand method
and just using imaginary angles
just focusing on getting the big shapes in first and then filling in the middle then
so do big shapes and then eventually get smaller and smaller and smaller
The pastel pencil I'm using is from the Carbothello range
and it's a 708, it's ideal for this really, it's just the right shade
so I use dark grey pastel matte board
and it's just a case of just feeling your way, mapping it out
ready for when you start doing the underdrawing
I'm keeping it simple now for the underdrawing
using the 708 and white
and also for the skin tones, these are the colours I'll be using
Now the purpose of the underdrawing is to correct my outline
so I'm using form, so I'm using light and shade
to create the right sort of flow and the balance
I'm trying to get the rhythm of the hair
and correcting things accordingly
and the skin tone I'm using brown and red
and yellow ochre
just for the initial sort of underdrawing
just keeping it simple
and then just moving things around like I say
just to get the right placement
I keep the pattern as close as I can to the reference image
so I don't get lost in it
and it helps to keep you relaxed
if you have it sort of similar to what you're looking at
so don't be too random with it
I don't try and get everything exactly the same
but it's close to it
It's just so I can understand more of the colour subtleties
and if you keep it the same sort of feel and shapes
it becomes easier then
Before I start adding the rich colours
I tend to actually have a play
just to see what greys are best
Carpathel has got an amazing selection of grey pencils
so I'm using a combination of two there
with a bit of lemon yellow
This will change into other things as you develop
but initially you've just got to get that
sort of first idea of what needs to be mixed
But before I do anything like that
I've got to get the highlights in
so I'm using the Faber-Castell white
which is really fresh in vibrancy
and adding that to the details on the highlights
and then using the Rembrandt stick as well
If you're enjoying this video
why not subscribe
It's absolutely free
and then you're sure not to miss any of my future videos
It's about having a play really
So what I'm doing is just putting a bit of
Faber-Castell because it's fresh white
and then glaze over with the grey
and then a bit of yellow
and that creates that greeny tinged feel to it
and a little bit of red
just to give it that warmth look to it
It's just a matter of
playing about really
and on the way of doing these sort of things
If you get distracted
in a way that you feel like you need to try something
I always do you know
So I always let instincts take over
But I'm putting the grey in here look
So I'm looking at all different colours
and I'm putting them in
and playing about
It's just building it all up to start with
Initially I'm using these two colours here
The black and the Payne's grey for the background
Got to get that darkness in there now
So that's the darkest area of the study
And then what that'll do then
Is to help me to judge
What sort of value and colour and subtleties
The grey area is
So without doing this
It would be difficult really to judge it
So I needed to get this background in
So I'll put it in very quickly for you here
You can see visually how I'm putting the background in
I'd just like to just take this opportunity
To thank all my Patreons
For their wonderful support
Every month
I can't thank you enough

And would like the benefit of longer
Slower and more in-depth videos
Please check out the link in the description below
For more details
So I've used the black and the light grey pencil
Now I'm putting blue and red in there as well
Just to sort of change it up in a bit of yellow
So I'm using the primaries over that basic
Sort of black and Payne's grey
For the flyaway hair there
I'm using the 110
It's like a light grey from the Carvathelo range
Ideal for this
Just mapping out where they go
Just getting ideas
That's all it is preparation
Here's the colours I'll be using for the skin tone
The rich stage
Just running through the skin tone quite quickly
Because I want to get onto the hair
Because that's what this video is about
So basically what I did is use a 5%
Caran d'Ache skin tone in there
And then went over them with a warm red
Yellow ochre
And then green to desaturate
But if you want to see more of my skin tone videos
I've got loads in my channel
So please check that out
So I just want to get through this quickly
So I can get on with the hair
So I needed to get the background done
I need to get the skin tone done
And then it would be so much easier then
To get the colours right in the hair
Just slowing down to real time
So you can see what pace I work at
It's quite slow and steady
But I'm using the edge of the point there
And just keep turning the pencil to find another edge
And that's Faber-Castell white pencil
Quite nice and fresh
So what I'm doing is mapping out these fine hairs
But first of all it's more of a blocking
Even though it's a rich colour blocking
It's still a blocking
The details will be later on in this video
But it's just a case now of
Getting the values, the chroma
And the placement right still
So I'm altering things around still
And making sure everything's all in position
And then once I'm happy
Then I'll go over the top with the details
Which you'll see me do later on
Just getting some pigment down now
Just freshening it all up
So I'm just blocking it up in areas
Using the fresh Faber-Castell white
You've got that sort of vibrancy
And the Carbothello white
When it's not so bright
And it's more subdued
So I'm swapping whites as I go
But then glazing over then
With the blue, lemon yellow
And a little bit of red now and again
Just to sort of change it up a little bit
So I'm just working in these colours
All this will be subtled out later
But just a case of just sort of
Putting all this colour down
Quickly
And then just readjusting it
And refining it
To a more of a detailed state later on
Just mapping out
Where these little sideboards are as well
And just getting a feel for where things are
Generally it's just the same as the underdrawing
But it's just using richer colours
To get the value, the chroma
And the temperature more like
Just ready for the details to go in
But this is a bit of a real time here
Just showing you how I'm putting
A few whisks here and there
And again the sort of pace I'm working at
And you can see I'm using the side of the pencil there
Turning it round
Find a new edge
And then all this will be glazed over
Once I've just done a few marks
So I do a few marks like this
Then glaze over
A few more marks
Glaze over
Until it's sort of
You know shapes up really
If you're enjoying this video
Why not give it a like
And share it with your friends
It would mean so much to me
As this would help the channel to grow
Just got to be patient really
And just allow that reference image
To come inside you
So you're drawing it from like inside you
Rather than going too far out
And like tunnel vision
Concentrating on it too much
That will keep you relaxed if you do that
But if you do find yourself
Being overwhelmed
By all the details
I suggest just taking a break
And just sitting somewhere
Taking deep breaths
And then just come back
With a new fresh outlook on it
My approach is not to connect
To any memories or expectations
And just be totally here and now
And then you find that it just happens
Everything just flows from you
And you just keep that sort of connection
And really feel the energy of the person
Even though I'm just doing this hair
There's energy in there
Of the person around it
So I absorb that into me
And allow it to go through the hands
And it's absorbed by just opening the heart
And just being open
And it'll just come into you
And out into your work
What I do is
I make the marks lighter than I want
And then when I do a glaze
It becomes the right colour
So that's why you're seeing it
A little bit too light here
But when I've glazed over it
It just sort of becomes the right colour
And that light shines through
And makes it shimmer
So you get that shimmery feeling to the hair
It looks a bit blue at the moment
But when I start putting burnt sienna over
Later on in this video
It actually becomes more of a natural grey colour
Because burnt sienna and blue together
Make lovely greys
So just letting you know that
This will sort of change
As the video progresses
But you just have to build it up
You have to leave it that colour
And work on the whole overall effect
And then come back to it
And then change it up
That's what I tend to do
I don't worry about it not looking right
At a certain stage
I just allow it to be
And just keep working in different areas
And just go with the instinct really
And eventually it all gets done
Now adding more white now
With the Rembrandt stick
So just find the edge
And just put that in
And that creates that real bright
Vibrant highlight then
And then that'll give that 3D effect
And it gives me more sort of
Variation for values
So you've got really extreme white there
And you've got the dark of the background
And then it gives me more scope
To get that sort of 3D look
If you want to know how I create shadows
And desaturate colours
I have got a free class
And the link is in the description below
I made it for sort of skin tones
It's a colour wheel
But it applies to everything I do really
So it's landscapes, pets, wildlife, whatever
It's the same sort of principle
So you're welcome to that
So please find the link in the description below
For more details
What I tend to do is work in big shapes
And it gets smaller and smaller
And eventually it gets really fine detail
So it's, you know, loads of big colour put down
Then refining it, reshaping it
And then until you get to really very fine detail
And that's what I'm tending to do now
Is just trying to get a little bit more detail in
And get that feeling of sort of aliveness
And the rhythm of the hair
As well as getting the energy of the person
Behind it as well, you know, around it
So there's a lot going off
It's just a case of just being open
And just let it flow from you
Slowing it down to real time now
So you can see what pace I'm working at
And just putting some broken lines in there
Because the hair is not one continuous line
It's like broken highlights
So I'm just sort of recreating that
Trying to get as much pigment down as I can
There's still tooth there for me to actually do that
So that's why I don't work heavy straight away
I build it up
And it's just here and there
Just putting them lighter areas
Just makes all the difference
And then what I'll be doing now
Once I've got this white in
Is to glaze over with the blue
And the burnt sienna
That's what I'm doing now
Don't matter about it going into background
So you can just glaze over it
And then just put a little bit of burnt sienna in there
And it creates like a nice warm gray in places
And then you can leave the colder gray
Which are more bluer in other areas
So that's what's great about using burnt sienna
And blue together
You can have a warm gray or a cold gray
Now at this point I'm looking in the mirror a lot
And just seeing it from a different perspective
I suggest taking it into a different room as well
In different light sources
Maybe turn it upside down as well
Just to see how it looks
And it gives you a different perspective on it
And it starts to bring out
Things that need to be worked on
Just going through now
Making the lines thinner in places as well
Just to get that feel right
Using a combination of burnt sienna
Also using the 708 gray as well
Using that in places
And then just glaze over it to change it up
So it's a really handy pencil that 708 gray
Now what I'm aware of at this stage
Is to get the temperature right
The value
The chroma
The edges
And I'm focused on the whole of the subject or portrait
Whatever you're working on
And trying to get the overall balance
I'm squinting my eyes to see the values
Open the eyes to see the colour
And just sense the temperature
Of what's warmer, what's cooler
And just get an overall feel for it
Don't name it as hair
Just see it as light and shade
Movement and flow
I'm just darkening this area here with black
It's a great black from Carbothella actually
It's not too brash
It's quite like a natural shadow
So it really comes in handy
But I always use a very light pressure with it
Now for the skin tone here
I'm just adding a little bit more colour here and there
And a shadow
Just to make it look more realistic
I know it's hair study
But just correcting the skin tone there a little bit
I'm not putting too much detail in
But enough just to give it a sense of reality
To help create the balance as well
I'm being aware of several areas at once
So I'm here and there
Just going from one place to another
Just getting a general balance
And making sure everything sort of feels at one
So everything is a oneness rather than separate
