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!

HOLY MOLEY!

This is a great tutorial. I love how you include that you use different kinds of colours for various things (e.g skin) and that was fresh!

I'm faving it, and will be practising.

PS: Do you have any suggestions for people using commercially-avaliable colourpencils like the Faber Castell range?

I think most people Use different tones as I do with pencils, the just might forget to mention in tutorials...then again there aren't many colour pencil tutorials, which is a shame....
I think all pencils work the same, dispite of the brand, maybe some need more layers or something, but I think for the most part, the tutorial will work for all
Best of luck! ^______^

Now I want to get out my colored pencils and practice coloring this way! (I use Prismacolor - I love them, though I've never tried Caran d'Ache...)

I'm gonna favorite this for future reference. ^^

Jokz In reply to ??? [2007-06-22 12:21:40 +0000 UTC]

Now I have only 12 pencils from Derwnet, so it can be hard to try this way to color whit them But i really want to buy some Caran d'Ache pencils. But do i need every 120 pecil they have or vould it be enoght whit 40 or 80 pencils?

Thanks for the tutorial anyway

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

A-Xofia In reply to Jokz [2007-06-24 22:06:32 +0000 UTC]

it would be more than enough to have a 40 pencil set it doesn't really depend on the amount of colours you have (although it can help) but more on the way you use them ^^
Best of luch with your colouring! ^____^ Glad I could help!

Jokz In reply to A-Xofia [2007-06-25 11:37:52 +0000 UTC]

Ok, thank you. Well, if you only have 12 pencils it can feel a little little to use. If you know what I mean. But i Think I will get a box whit 40 Pencils. Is it the Caran d'Ache PABLO pencils you have used on your drawings?

ClassyKitteh In reply to ??? [2007-04-05 17:53:07 +0000 UTC]

Wow, this is very helpful!C: Um...for the colored pencils, you bought ALL of those colored pencils in the pack or something? Or um each one seperatly? If it was the pack, how much does it cost, and if its each one by one...then how much does it cost?n___n;; Thank you~!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

A-Xofia In reply to ClassyKitteh [2007-04-13 16:10:57 +0000 UTC]

I bought a 120 pencil box it's much cheaper if you buy them in a pack/box.
Mine are caran d'ache, which is a little expensive but really worth it. The box was 170 sothing euros at the time, I think.
thank you! ^^

insane-fluff In reply to ??? [2007-04-02 22:52:19 +0000 UTC]

Heheh, I usually don't use tutorials, but becuase Im usually stuck with crappy sketches, Ill try colouring them (due to lack of talent in Photoshop) with Pencil Crayons.

I can show you the finished picture once it's done, if you want.

Claro, até porque nas fotos acaba por parecer ainda mais suave porque é não é tao ao perto...mas com paciencia e muitas camadas suaves vai lá
Thankies! XD

Gosh I will try this now, *usually colours really dark heehee and is VERY impatient* and I shall show you the reults if you wish ^^. (Also I draw on printer paper and use no good-brand pencils..besides these derwent onces I have but I have only 12 I don't mind though cos I have a whole draw full or more of pencils)

A-Xofia In reply to Pinkamoo [2007-01-31 18:21:02 +0000 UTC]

Yes! : D I love to see the results of people using the tut! ^___^
Printer paper is a really big no no! D: it's too thin and, in many cases kind of glossy, which is terrible! >__< it doesn't have to be really good paper, just a little better than printer lol. the same goes for pencils the don't have to be the best to have good results, but if you ask me, caran d'ache and prismacolors are probably the best. for may years I only had a 30 pencil case and that's probably the best for beginners (it's not too much, not too little )
Thank yoU!

quanto ao efeito 3D é seguires algumas das minhas dikas, mas o meu principal aviso é : pratica

ehehe no fundo acaba por ter tudo semelhanças porque existem determinadas cenas que se pintam sempre de uma determinada maneira por instinto e quanto mais se pratica mais se xega a novas conclusões que melhoram o trabalho, por isso também é natural xegar-se a conclusoes parecidas ^^ lol
obrigado por veres o mey tut! ^^

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! It's really helpful! There aren't enough traditional artists out there!! I also have a question if you don't mind me asking! What colours did you use for the guys hair? I just recently dyed my bangs to that exact shade and I've been having a heck of a time finding pencil colours that match! It would be a super help! Keep up the great work!

A-Xofia In reply to Spookyhime [2006-02-17 21:17:06 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! ^____^ yeah, it's true: there are a lot of Cg ones and too little of traditional
On the guy's hair I used: blood red, dark red, wine colour,light orange, dark orange, black, dark brown and...that's all I think lol hope it helps!
