Description
This is my first colored pencil tutorial for Prismacolor brand pencils.
You will need:
Prismacolor colored pencils ([link] )
Colorless blending pencil
Bristol or heavyweight sketch paper
*light table optional

Intro:
This tutorial is for Prismacolor brand colored pencils created in an attempt
to share my personal technique and use of this media. It is for learning
purposes only and may best benefit those with some experience with using
colored pencils. There are several scans below that were made as I colored
a past badge commission. Each will be arranged below in order with a paragraph
to explain what was being done at that stage.
If you find this tutorial helpful and feel it may be useful to others, please add it
to your favorites. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to add them
via comment below the deviation.

What are Prismacolor pencils?

Prismacolor is a brand name just as Crayola and RoseArt are. I was introduced to Prismacolor
markers and colored pencils during college and prefer to use them over other brands due to
the softness of the pencil and its high blending ability. There are several pros and cons to
Prismacolors; While the colors are very rich and blend best with a colorless blending pencil,
you may be aware that this brand is also very expensive and if too much pressure is applied
the tips can break easily during use. I feel that if taken care of like any variety of art tool,
a set of Prismacolor pencils can last many years under average use.

^^ Enjoy
