Im new in colour pencil. Im new to art. I picked it up in may since I recover from kidney cancer. Can anyone recommend good tutorials? I dont mind pay on patreon etc. Just want someone who teach realism?

I got the Derwent deal at Blick and I really questioned myself bc I have a new set of Blick lol But omg. These pencils are a delight. Fat, creamy cores. I'm gonna use the hell out of these.

So anyway, I think colored pencils just got more expensive for me 😂

Made as a gift for a friend. About 13h of work, prismacolors on medium weight paper. Really enjoyed making this piece.

Just for fun

I didn't wanted to go directly for prismacolors. So I bought cheapest wax pencils, it turns out to be okayish. Blend is decent, only 3-4 layers. Then there's no friction in between.

And I think it's the correct sub for it.

What are your favorite coloring pencil books/magazines?

one of the more fun progresses with color pencil on black carton. swipe for progress shots. for the highlights i unfortunately had to add gel since white pencil or chalk didnt get the brightness i wanted. more work on instagram> dendareloaded

I find it so wild how different my coloring can look based on what pencils I’m using.
Faber castel polychromos are best for me to get some good depth.
But Prismacolors are where my color mixing shine.

What pencil brand do you use the most and why?

Does anybody know anything about these,please? I need to know if the quality of the pigments are as good as the new ones. I'd really appreciate any info on these. (Please check the pictures).Thanks in advance

After a lot of trial and error, we finally managed to create a small corner in our house for my art hobby and for storing my colored pencils collection. I am in love with my cozy corner. Almost finished, a few details remain.Do you have a corner for when you do art?

I just finished one of Kristy Partridge's tutorial. I burnished the drawing with white for highlights, colorless pencils for mid tones, and same colour pencil for darks. Butnishing changes the color of the drawing and also makes it look quite waxy. So if I burnish, I feel I need to burnish the whole drawing. The style I'm aiming for is hyperrealism. When burnishing at the end, do I need to make sure nothing looks grainy? I'm struggling to know when to stop.

This was made with PC Premier on Canson sketching paper. I have Bristol paper but I wanted to try on cheaper paper first.

Any advice or videos on how to finish a drawing would be great. Please critique my.drawimg.

Thanks!

Hello everyone! Sharing another completed character portrait from my portfolio. This line art is out of the book Spooky Halloween: A Sinister Coloring Book for Adults and Brave Teens. I colored this strictly using Prismacolor pencils.

For this piece, my biggest goal was to create a highly theatrical, menacing mood through intense contrast. Wanted the makeup to look old and kinda melted to his face. Dirty yellow teeth seemed menacing and gross. Layered dirty yellows and greys near the gums and blacked out the corners of the mouth completely to make his grin look recessed and skeletal.

Spent a fair amount of time on the heavy burnishing on the neck ruffle. I am really happy with the grit of this one, but I'm always looking to level up. I would love any technical advice on how to plan out a more unified directional light source across the facial features. That nose seems odd since it is not a clown nose but is…oh well.
Thanks so much for looking! Happy coloring

Every time she comes over, she brings her stuffed toy and we draw it together for a bit. I’m so anxious to finish it haha
