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.

Very nice! I really feel like pinching her cheeks xD

I have a question though, I'm not sure what to do when I'm done sketching. Do you trace over and then erase the sketched graphite pencil marks?

emperpep In reply to oOvanillaOo [2010-10-24 14:30:48 +0000 UTC]

I drew a new lineart on paper without tracing the old sketch.
