r/ColoredPencils

Here’s my ongoing piece (it’s an Indian Roller). btw, this is my first attempt at drawing a bird, and it’s quite difficult ngl, especially the feathers. Nevertheless, I hope y’all like it!

Is it good? I love it very much and I enjoyed drawing it a lot. ❤🖤

The colors look interesting and I like other Tombow products but these have mixed reviews so I wonder what people think of them. I do like that you can buy the three sets one at a time and won't repeat colors, and the packaging looks nice.

Years ago I used to BST Prismacolor pencils as well as other brands. Here's my hidden stash

starting to get the hang of colored portraits! used faber castell super soft and prismacolor premiere to replicate a photo of my own face.

I’m a beginner with colored pencils, I am more used to regular pencils and paint so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. I have a set of prismacolor premier pencils and the lighter colors don’t seem to provide a lot of pigment, the light areas of this drawing were done using mostly negative space and the white pencil seems to be great for blending but not adding light where I need it. Is there a specific kind of colored pencil that can help me with adding lighter values?

Did this piece of a honey bee over the weekend. Nice subject to turn the head off and draw. It’s important to keep the hand moving regularly.
He’s A3 in size, drawn on Art Spectrum pastel paper with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils.

Finally feeling like I’m getting better at making realistic fur, but all the while torturing myself with a full colored pencil bokeh-ish background. A lot of the fur below kitties head is white and I had a hard time visualizing it against an all white background, so here we are. I know it’s not perfect, but I at least get the idea of background trees and blue sky. 🤷‍♀️

Prismacolors & Polychromos

Feeling unwell today so just drew. Red Kite and a Sparrow Hawk, UK birds. 🙂
