Drawing Using Colored Pencils

 I tried another coloring medium, the colored pencils.

And compared to other mediums, pencils are handy, 

easier to use, and cheaper. However, it would take more time 

and patience to see the outcome.

To start with, you have to choose papers with the right texture.

Some artists recommend materials with rough surfaces

while others prefer the smoother ones.

I experimented on both. Perhaps, it depends

on what you want to accomplish.

I usually make pencil sketches before applying acrylic,

gouache, and watercolor paints. But with colored pencils, 

I would do the same and then erase the dark areas

before filling them with colors.  

Then I would create thin layers by applying strokes

 in different directions,  left, right, and circular. 

The colors will slowly build up.

Apply less pressure at first and use light-colored pencils.

Then switch to pencils with darker shades. 

Remember the portion with highlights. 

Alternatively, you may use white gel pens 

for the highlights.

Displayed below are my finished artworks.

I also created video demonstrations and uploaded them

on YouTube. Feel free to subscribe. Thank you!
