Colored pencil can look just like a painting, I’m going to show you how! It’s grainy, it’s gritty…it looks like you drew it with crayons and your feet. Colored pencil doesn’t need to look this way! It’s all in how we layer and blend. SOOOO much layering!
When you hit the point where it looks like a crayon, don’t give up! You’ve not ruined anything, it’s supposed to start this way! It’s just not finished! Let me show you how to take it from this crayon looking to painting looking!
