Artist's Comments

Here's my first colored pencil tutorial.
Because a lot of people are asking me to do a tutorial of this media.

Here's some of my tips for colored pencil.
1. Always keep your pencil sharp.
2. Find some paper to place your hand on when coloring, This can prevent your hand from smudging the color on your artwork.

Link to the original work.


*****
Here's something I forgot to include in my tutorial. : x

1. I used Faber Castel. Colleen. Staedtler student colored pencil for this work.

2. I used Light Brown [wax based] for drawing original lineart.

3 Copy paper and Printer paper are the same.

Actually, I have a question. What brand of pencils did you use on this? Did they come in a set, or did you hand pick the individual colors?

Thanks in advance!

Amazing.

I have always wondered how you work with pencil.

It actually helped ME out a TON.

Thanks so much for posting.

Well I carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I let it you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
I’d serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me

Glad to hear it won't cost a limb to experiment and practice. xD

really really good, it´s great to know that another person think the same about the material, it doesn´t matter how expensive could be the material if you don´t know how to use it.

Like the entire tutorial (even the advice of the materials)

Your #2 tip- thanks for sharing that, I've always looked for a way to stop smudging and never found a good one! I'll try that paper thing.

I love how you used materials accessible by everyone for this piece- because its not just the materials, its the artist that affects the work as well (:

This is really helpful, thank you for taking the time really for posting this up for us!
