Simple Colored Pencil Drawing
A colored pencil drawing involves creating images with colored pencils, a medium combining the precision of graphite with vibrant colors. Artists build images using layers of light, controlled strokes to mix colors and create rich tones. Techniques include layering, blending, hatching, crosshatching, and pressure shading to achieve various textures and values on paper. The choice of paper, the pressure applied, and the sharpness of the pencil significantly impact the final appearance, allowing for everything from rough sketches to highly realistic, finished works.
