What a stunning drawing I found
blousing the internet!
When using any coloured
medium, you should ALWAYS mix colours.
Coloured pencils are no different.
For example, if you are drawing grass, do not just grab that
manufactured green. Instead, use blue
and yellow, and green.
If you like to outline, wait
and do it when you are finished drawing the object. Coloured pencils can overlap themselves very
easily, enabling you to outline objects last. (Do not use black to
outline)
Coloured Pencils are a medium
that demands time. You must work
deliberately. It takes time to create a
well-drawn coloured pencil image.
By taking a white coloured
pencil or a colourless blender, you can smooth the colours and values out to
make a consistent texture and solid finish.
How funny that I would see this tonight. Before I left for work I just had to do some drawing, and while I have paints and brushes at the place I stay on the weekends I could not find a single pencil, except for a new pack of colored pencils I bought many years ago. I guess I'm a bit prejudiced against colored pencils because my attitude was, "well, I guess I can use these!" Anyway, Evette, thank you for sharing this. Beautiful work, by the way.
