Part 1: The Monkey Color-Along

In this video, color along with Jones as she colors the monkey from Beautiful Creatures and shows you the key techniques for coloring long fur. You will find the monkey in the practice coloring page you downloaded above. 

For this tutorial, Jones used Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils. Jones chose these pencils because of their ability to hold a nice point. This helps with coloring the long strands of fur. The color chart is below.

Really would have participated by listening and coloring along to learn but I'm sorry to say the music was to distracting and there was no way of lowering the music and being able to listen to the facilitator at the same time.

I'm so sorry about the sound! Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. When I originally edited the video my kids were running around making lots of noise so I didn't properly assess the volume levels!! I have edited the video to make the music volume while Jones is talking waaaay lower. I hope it's better. The revised video is now linked to from this post.

I really like music but this music was too loud. I found it distracting.

Hi Carol,

As I said to Sandra above: I'm so sorry about the sound! Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention.

I'm just getting started on this guy, and I have one question about the colors. On the dark naples yellow. ......is the number 185 correct? My only name choices are naples yellow (which is 185) and dark naples ochre...no dark naples yellow, so I'm assuming the pencil number 185 (naples yellow) is correct.

Jones, I can't thank you enough for these tutorials. They're wonderful, fairly easy to follow, and with Nicole's fabulous books I'm turning out some pretty nice stuff for this old lady that couldn't color as a child without making a mess. Again many thanks to the both of you! Please don't ever stop! !!

Hi Teri,

I'm so glad you are finding the tutorials useful!

Sorry for the confusion on the colors. I would recommend going by the color number of 185. That said, I checked the color chart Jones made and compared it to the Faber Castell color swatch chart. Naples Yellow (185) and Dark Naples Ochre (184) are fairly similar, therefore either could definitely work. What's important is that you are using some sort of dark yellow so I would recommend going with the one you personally prefer.

Happy coloring!
Nicole

I am nearly deaf so watching videos with no captioning does me very little good. Ditto for the constant ad interruptions. Is there some way of getting a hardcopy of this book? I am willing to pay for it, as opposed to having to print the entire thing out myself.

I'm assuming you are referring to the Grayscale Coloring Guide e-book. If so, there is no hard copy version of this book available through this website. However, I know of lots of people that have downloaded it and then had it printed & spiral bound somewhere like Kinko's or Office Depot.
