Drawing with Colour pencils

Derwent Colour pencils


Skin Tones


Love my Derwent Pencils
Before , after and the picture I used
Last week I brought some Derwent Skin tone Pencils, when I have been doing my drawing in the past I have always experimented with different paints and pastels but never thought to try colour pencils. When I draw it has to be a clear picture as now I am 30 my eyesight is no longer 100% lol , so when I went to a speedway meeting I purchased a photograph of my favourite rider as it was a very clear perfect picture. I attempted the drawing a couple of weeks ago but I felt it needed some improvement and was not happy with it, my dad kindly let me borrow a book of his all about colour pencils just to get a few tips and see where I was going wrong, I also got some handy tips off my dad too with using a white gel pen for highlights with the eyes and black fine liquid pen for eye lashes, so I tried again. Although it is not completely finished due to not having the colours I need I am very happy with the outcome. From this I have a custom order from someone at work who has asked me to do a portrait of their dog which I am very chuffed about. Think I need to get more pencils before I do, so I have some begging to do with Paul as they are expensive...So close to the wedding I think I know what the answer would be lol.
