TIPS FOR WORKING WITH COLORED PENCILS

• Most styles requires a sharp point
• Your stroke has an effect on your pencil's sharpness
• Be patient. Draw using layers.
• Light strokes give you a chance to erase fully.
• Work with a good light source.

Untitled Slide

• When you sharpen your pencil, wipe the tip off a soft cloth
• Create a notebook to test a sample of all your colors
• Prefer a paper with good texture and quality. Smooth ones don't work
• Practice different color strokes.
