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.

You can use normal orange or brilliant red, try coloring with low hand pressure.

Incredible! If I had such talent at my disposal I would be even better than my brother, mother, and uncle's skills combined! Maybe.

AltairRia [2011-02-02 12:26:15 +0000 UTC]

what would be the closest color for the skin if you're using Faber Castell (classic)?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

emperpep In reply to AltairRia [2011-02-02 13:38:43 +0000 UTC]

I like using orange, red, and pink

All of them can be colored with low hand pressure for light skin tone and blush.

belinda-hime In reply to emperpep [2011-01-20 00:09:08 +0000 UTC]

Oh okay I see!
Another question, When you colored it, did you erase the pencil? Or colored over it?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

emperpep In reply to belinda-hime [2011-01-20 03:43:53 +0000 UTC]

I colored over it.

But I erased pencil line sometimes for bright sunlight effect.

annamei-chan In reply to ??? [2011-01-11 19:55:48 +0000 UTC]

Ah! Thanks
One question though, I kinda got confused.
So do you use the brown pencil to lineart at the end after coloring?
