Basic Colored Pencilingby ~espers

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Miscellaneous

A request from a friend. Part one of a tutorial about colored pencils. This is basic coloring. Shading, more shading, gleam effects, and texturing to follow.

And maybe even more after that. Excuse the cutesy approach, as it's the only way I can make my technique make sense. (Trust me, I tried just -writing- a tutorial, but that didn't work at all)

Print it out and color on it! It's what it's made for

(Although I used Prismacolor pencils to color this, the technique works for any brand. Zoom in to read the text.

)

THIS IS PART ONE OF A SERIES!!

Part Two, Basic Colored Shading, is here:[link]

I used tan and peach on walls, and peach and light brown on the floor of a drawing... It made it look really cool xD

~espers Nov 7, 2007

Hmm, I probably used white or an off-white color. Maybe light grey or cream? HOWEVER, I encourage lots of experimentation. Don't just take my word for it...Find something YOU like.
