Here I am sharing a photo of my latest colour pencil drawing. I thought I had better expand from draying just the face to the full figure. I am reasonably happy with this next sketch. I will need to take my time a little more and focus on the detail perhaps. Maybe get the colours looking a little less like pencil and blend a bit more. I am still very new to the colour pencil as a tool so I may not even be doing it right. The spectrum noirs are advertised as being blendable but so far I am not seeing much blending going on. Perhaps I need a blending fluid or they do a blending pencil perhaps it is time to invest in a blending pencil. I shall do some more investigating on this one I think. Anyway here is the picture.
I admit I think I have done better in terms of colour but not a bad first attempt at a full figure. I used the draw simple shapes and angles then draw round them and erase lines no longer required technique. The pencil I was using for drawing was not sharp enough to get the finer detail but I will work on that at a later date :) The practise I have been doing will go towards the art journal page I am working on. I have a plan to use colour pencils to work on my page. So I want to be a little better at using colour pencils before I attempt the next layer to the page :) So watch this space :)
Thanks for stopping by
