Description Ok, since people seem to like the way I use colour pencils so much here goes a little tutorial!
Just as I promised! I hope it is helpful! ^^

PLEASE READ:
- IF YOU EVER RESORT TO THIS TUTORIAL OR USE TIPS FROM IT LET ME KNOW! ^^ I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE RESULTS!
- Sorry for the poor quality of the photos...
- This is just a SUGGESTION! I don't really know how to use pencils properly: this is just merely stuff I've learned from my own personal experience using this medium and I'm completely self-taught! I'm not saying that my way of colouring is better then any other!

Celiyasha In reply to ??? [2008-11-21 03:24:51 +0000 UTC]

Cool. I've been trying to teach myself to use color pencils. My problem is you can see the strokes. So kindergarten! I'm going to try your soft layering technique next time.

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

A-Xofia In reply to Celiyasha [2010-08-08 19:37:08 +0000 UTC]

the trick is to do very soft strokes, and layer them that way it takes longer but you can't see the stokes because they are so soft

Celiyasha In reply to A-Xofia [2010-08-08 23:06:52 +0000 UTC]

schizocyde [2008-09-25 23:23:49 +0000 UTC]

lol this is a lame question.. but do you color with a circle motion, and if so, do you go in small circles or wide?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

A-Xofia In reply to schizocyde [2008-09-27 12:20:39 +0000 UTC]

i tend to color with the wide motion

Sancosity-The-Hybrid [2008-09-25 17:43:12 +0000 UTC]

wow, this is one of the best tutorials ever!! But what paper did you use instead of printer paper?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

A-Xofia In reply to Sancosity-The-Hybrid [2008-09-27 12:22:18 +0000 UTC]

umm i use a type of paper that is made in portugal called "papel cavalinho" but i have no idea if it exists in other contries under a diferent name
it's just a little more thick and not so glossy as printer paper.

A-Xofia In reply to ajmadee [2008-07-20 17:59:57 +0000 UTC]

i dunno, i guess it's because it's so glossy >_>

ajmadee In reply to A-Xofia [2008-07-26 11:14:13 +0000 UTC]

O_o' oh.. cuz it's too smooth and doesn't pick up colors... >.< i'll use printer paper until i improve my technique cuz I don't have money for anything else and I don't want to waste paper...
