Description So, you asked for it. I'm SO bad at tutorials!! D: I hope it helps you and you learn something from it. I forgot to say, the colorless blender goes on when you are done using the regular colors to blend and saturate! Sorry! And pictures are bad because I took them with my phone.

heya ^^ first off neat tutorial, it shows the most important to color nicely, not too much side info and not to few to leave somehting out, really well done.
I have faber castell polychromos, theyΒ΄re good but the colors arenΒ΄t so glowy i wanted prismacolors for long already but theyΒ΄re not available in my country so i need to ship them here while shipping alone costs 30 dollars... i just wanted to ask you if these were the right ones [link]

how many colors do you use for one type of fur color, /shades, hilights midtones/ do you just use a few colors and press differently, or do you use more colors?

earthsea-23 In reply to Swiftfleet [2010-02-18 11:56:53 +0000 UTC]

Depends on what I have at hand. Here, I used about five shades in the orange area because I had my huge prismacolor set. When I only have my bag of random colors, I will press harder and use many of my blues and purples.

yeah i know. And Im trying to learn colored pencils. Starting with Crayola to practice with haha. I guess ill learn eventually right??

earthsea-23 In reply to RebelLuna [2010-02-18 01:27:09 +0000 UTC]

Crayola is ok to practice with but horrible for actual pieces! It doesn't layer well cause it has hard lead. But that's how I learned. I raught myself and looked at other artists works.

RebelLuna In reply to earthsea-23 [2010-02-18 03:51:05 +0000 UTC]

yeah i cant afford the good prismacolor colored pencils at the moment so im just trying to find a good technique with crayola for now. I really only draw for fun but i want the pieces to at least be comment worthy

You can try derwent. They are pretty affordable. And you can always by a 24 set of prismacolor. If you have a Micheal's, use a coupon. lol

RebelLuna In reply to earthsea-23 [2010-02-18 19:54:38 +0000 UTC]
