  1. If i were to use only watercolors for all my art- i wouldnt be able to draw ANYTHING, most of my ideas come when im school (and criminally bored) and i cant really pull out a whole watercolor set up with brushes and a cup full of water in the middle of math class😅

  2. It’s so interesting that you don’t like the paper to show underneath the artwork because I love it when you can see the paper. That just goes to show how many different and interesting opinions there are and how unique everyone’s taste in art is!

  3. I love mixing mediums. It can be a lot of fun. Colored pencils are my favorite traditional art supply but I really enjoy laying down a base color with alcohol markers and then working on top of that with my pencils. You can also use alcohol markers to blend colored pencils. I like using a colorless marker for that. I'm not too sure how lightfastness will be affected by thw markers though because I don't think the markers are lightfast.

  4. For the questions in the start I say.. experiment, just try, it's not a "you can't do it" thing in art, you can try everything, you can switch, you can mix, you can test. You can be free. Art is the best way to see someone's personality shine, see how they draw, what they can draw, what's hard for them to draw, what's not, their tips, their skill, their everything.

  5. I use weird things to blend my colored pencils and crayons! I can put them on any smooth surface if I put a layer of whiteout down first. I drew on my lip balm tin that way then used lip balm to blend it😅

  6. I used to be a purist in college. I did take one class that kinda helped us experiment with different mediums. But honestly seeing Scott's shorts I've pushed myself more to combine my mediums. I've been able to find other different mediums that have been a better go to for my work. I feel like im playing and being more creative like I was when I was in the single digits. I love combining copic markers with pen ink. The luminosity is just 🤌then adding the matte texture from guache or acrylic paint is just delightful.

  7. I always thought when I lineart something I can't shade it any more with graphite idk I thought once you used ink you can't use pencil but I combined the two one day and I was astounded how much I liked it now it's kinda "my style" now my two favorite mediums can be together

  9. Back when I was drawing all the time, I had these Faber Castell water colour pencils. I liked them because the colours didn't go super shiny when I had to saturate them for my crappy scanner. I never did use water with them, though.

  10. Art is about experimentation, taking risks, and self-expression. If you're conforming to what other people tell you to, you may be doing it wrong(and yes, I realize the irony of my statement)(this is not meant to be judgmental, it's meant to be encouraging)

  11. Omgg my theater class at school is doing Xanadu as our musical‼️‼️ I love your art work Scott, it inspires me a lot, it’s funny how I’ve seen this video before but didn’t think much abt who you were drawing until now because now I know what Xanadu is<33
