Watch colored pencil tips and techniques while I draw a black cat, coral, and fish!
This cat and coral belong to Than of Tidal Gardens! This is also where I got all of my coral reference photos! I’m drawing in colored pencil using Polychromos, Derwent Lightfast, Derwent Drawing, and Luminance. I will show you how to blend and layer colored pencil along with other tips and techniques while we chat about art!
