Description Hmm. Dunno if this is supposed to go here or under Mixed Media tutorials...

I just remembered about this so I may as well post it up.
This is a simple tutorial (if that's even the right way to describe it) or how I colour when using pencils. It's just the way that I do things and is only really a guide, so don't take it as Gospel.
Oh yes, pardon the picture quality. These were taken on my phone's camera.

The finished pic's in the scraps by the way.

I did something like this, but not nearly so sophisticated. Oh, I miss my Prismacolors...

I figured it out through trail and error, and reading a fair few tutorials for both pencils and digital colouring. Nothing idiotic about not figuring it out yet at all

I like using my blender colorless markers to make smudges on my pictures, and get this weird blend.

Good tutorial on the red, since it's a somewhat hard color to pull off correctly! But that's just me, since I love shading blues, and greens.

It seems like reds need the most work to get looking right - in my experience, anyway.

ShadoHejjihoggu In reply to funkyalien [2008-08-09 16:51:03 +0000 UTC]

Agreed.

People literately think; well beginners will go straight to a crimson red, rather then doing the yellow, or a pink hue.

Which really, it's baby steps towards blending the color.
