Description
Does anyone know how I can use a rubber eraser, and colored pencil, to put colored lighting on this creature? I'm tired of only uploading colored pencil drawings that have no background. I as well want to learn how to shade-and-light a black colored pencil matrix on paper.He was colored with colored pencil, including his black fur "shawl". He comes from the animated feature "the Quest for Camelot".
Now, I know to rub the pencil-laden eraser on another piece of paper, to get the colored pencil off, thereby tinting that paper, and cleaning the eraser.
I want him to be lit by blue light from above, so that the top of his black shawl is hit by blue light, and his black shawl and wings to be hit by purple light below...
or at least, something like that.

*L* I just rub the eraser on my jeans... quicker and doesn't waste paper.
Also, one of the tricks I use is to use a white or light-colored pencil over dark for highlighting. It's a little harder if you've already got thickly laid-down pencil... I've taken to using this technique over marker, though, and it comes out stunning.

Thanks a lot for the marker-tip. I also tried what you told me, on blue-colored eyes yesterday on a drawing, and it actually did work some. I had previously lost faith in white pencils up until this point. Thanks so much!

I'm not sure how much help I'll be, but I'll try based on what I do.
If you know where you want the special lighting/shading erase some of the colour from those areas, so you have a noticeable difference. Then take the colour you want there on. You may have to layer the original colour back over the new to help it blend.
As for the way you're wanting to do the background another option is go over it lightly in the direction you want and then pull your eraser over it one sweep per it's width. That will help get rid of your direction lines and lighten the colour some.
Hopefully this can help you some and needless to say it may take you some time to get it the way you want.

"...it may take you some time to get it the way you want." This is true. I thank you for actually commenting in an attempt to aid me. I will attempt what you say, and other commenters, for what others say may be similar to your advice.
The only thing I worry of is how the paper which has had an eraser put over it will be able to accept colors in the same richness as before.

You're welcome. I'm glad I was able to assist you a bit. ^u^ I hope you'll find a way that works best for you and give you you're desired effect.
I personally think that will depend on the paper. 🤔 Some should and will accept it pretty easily. Others may not. At least from my own experiences.
