Description
Here's my first colored pencil tutorial.Because a lot of people are asking me to do a tutorial of this media.
Here's some of my tips for colored pencil.
1. Always keep your pencil sharp.
2. Find some paper to place your hand on when coloring, This can prevent your hand from smudging colors on your artwork.
Link to the original work.

Here's something I forgot to include in my tutorial. : x
1. I used Faber Castel. Colleen. Staedtler student colored pencil.
2. I used Light Brown [wax based] for drawing original lineart.
3 Copy paper and Printer paper are the same.
4. If you don't have white gel pen, You can use white postercolor or gouache instead.

Did you draw the sketch with low hand pressure? 8 l
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but only because before when I pressed harder on the paper, the brown still showed underneath but as a thin line that didn't blend with the rest of the skin.
Hm... is the trick to press harder when drawing the lineart?

I was wondering, where do you get these inspiration in drawing?
OR you simply think of something and start drawing it?
(I need inspiration first, 'cause when I force myself to draw, it's result is bad >_> )

See, if I force myself, gosh, my drawing is totally bad
Glad someone is like me

But I really wish I can draw something without needing to get inspired by something though Q_Q
