Description
Yay, my first tutorial!
This is especially done for my friend Dimitris aka ~tuomas0204 , but since there isn't so many traditional art tutorials on DA (especially colored pencil ones), I also wanted to put it on DA.This is a tutorial showing how I color a fairy step by step, skin, hair, dress and wings. I do NOT tell that I'm excellent or something in coloring, I just made this tutorial to show MY way of coloring.
Hope you find it helpful!
And take a look at the final version of the drawing if you want

your...soo..awesome!!! how big was the paper? o.0 -imagines a HUGE bristol paper-

It's not that huge, it's just a little smaller than normal A4 paper. But it was hard, regardless of the size, to color bit by bit

I know this is kinda late but I prefer you not to draw using Sketch Pad paper, as it is only for sketching. really. I prefer thick yet smooth paper like drawing book paper or any other paper that's smooth

I see, but I tried a lot of papers, and this kind was the best among them, so I kinda like it, even if it is for sketching

Oh, I thought it was just plain sketch pad

It's a wonderful tutorial!!
Yet, I think if you inked your lineart, the colors would stand out a bit more and seem more bold

Yeah I know that but still linearts mostly does not look that good to me, in my own drawings of course xD And thank you
