Description
I recently picked up some Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils at a ridiculously awesome discount, and was inspired to try them out on this piece of my character, Dia . I must say, these are the finest colored pencils I've ever had the pleasure of using. I did something very different for this piece by roughly sketching it in orange pencil, inking with a brush pen, and then coloring it without erasing the orange sketch lines. What fun!
Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils, Faber-Castell Pitt brush pen, & Sanford Col-Erase pencil (orange) on 6 by 8 inch Strathmore 400 Series Drawing paper.

I'm the Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencil user and I really love them, many of my colored pencil arts are drawn with my Polychromos colored pencils. I'm glad you encounter the good colored pencils.
on this art, I think it's rare to draw the portrait of the character, and it about to stick out the paper. before I try to use this like art but it's very difficult to make a good balance and I don't try this way, but you make it! this expressing way make the powerful mood, and this art really emphasize her hair style. I think she just aiming to something.

Thank you! I was thinking of you when I was coloring this and it's awesome to find out that you have Polychromos colored pencils, too. They really impress me. They're very different than the colored pencils I am used to and I love how vibrant they are even when coloring with a soft touch. I only used 9 pencils for this drawing.
I want to do more portraits like this of my characters.

This certainly caught my eye. It can be a real blast to just pencil something out without worrying about correcting any sketch lines. I like your choice of warm tones and you definitely have an eye for color harmony. My good friend, Magic Clam who colors my work sometimes uses Faber-Castell colored pencils and he loves them. They have a vibrancy that really stands out and I can see that they work beautifully with your style!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
The vibrancy of the Faber-Castell Polychromos really impresses me, especially since they give their brightest color with a light touch. I'm more used to mashing colored pencils into the paper to get the brightest color out of them. I always wondered how Clam achieved such brilliant color and soft texture at the same time. Skill for the most part, of course, but I can see why he loves these pencils!

Aw, thanks! I really enjoyed letting the paper texture shine through. Drawing this gave me powerful nostalgia because I had a phase wayyyyy back before my DA years where I was inking everything with chunky thick black lines and coloring softly with colored pencils. Except back then I was flatly flood-filling areas with a soft layer of the base color because shading hadn't occurred to me yet.

Thanks so much. <3 It was nice to color with a soft touch and let the paper texture shine through. These Polychromos are very vibrant and almost painterly the way they easily apply to the paper with the softest touch - They don't need to be mashed into the paper to get bright, saturated color. I love them.
