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.
2. I used Light Brown [wax based] for drawing original lineart.
Umm... May I ask...? Do you... recommend that I could have my finished works just on the sketch pad...? Or will that make things harder...? Or... do you think that it is better to have the finished work on another paper and the original line art is on the sketch pad...?
Umm... I-it's like... because... Ugh... How do I say this...? It's because... When I color on my drawing in the sketch pad... It will sometimes go "lumpy", the paper surface, I mean... and also... the art work will get damaged because of the page before the drawing... and other things... (nowthatithinkaboutit...it'shardtoexplain... TuT
Or is it just the same with an individual paper being used for the final artwork...?
Do you get what I mean...? (sorryifyoudon'tunderstandit... T^T
You can always 'burnish' your drawings. In a book I've read for coloring pencils, having that grainy look is natural. But you can lessen that grainy look by burnishing. Or by 'layering'. Shall I explain more?

Alrighty then. There are two basic techniques that you’ll need to know for working with colored pencils: layering and burnishing. Both can be applied too of course.
Burnishing can be very useful for shiny objects or for fixing a flat background. If you are near the completion of a layered piece and you feel something is missing, burnish the background to make your subject pop from the page.
Sometimes it is not easy to decide whether to layer or burnish. The good thing is, if you begin with layering, you can always choose to deepen your tones and burnish an area if it doesn’t turn out the way you want.

In a nutshell, burnishing means flattening the paper with your colored pencils so it has that shiny effect. And by flattening, you push a bit of a pressure on your pencil to flatten those tiny lumps on the paper to create that less grainy, and more shiny look. ^^
The harder you press, the less grainy it becomes. But please remember that a colored pencil drawing is supposed to have a little graininess in them

I just want to know... what you think...
