Read more CARING FOR YOUR COLORED PENCILS Once you have your brand new set of colored pencils, youll want to take care of them to ensure theyre useful down to the last inches! One of the best ways to care for your pencils is taking care not to drop them. Dropping a single pencil or a whole box can break the cores. If the core breaks, it may slide out during usage and become wasted lead. PREVENTING ERASER MOMENTS To avoid erasing, start with a regular, soft-leaded pencil and plan your drawing out. Make sure your drawing is exactly how you want before you add color. This includes checking the scale and proportions, and even planning where the highlights and shadows will be. MARK-MAKING TECHNIQUES When drawing with colored pencil, mark-making has many different purposes. Your marks can build texture, shadows, and layers; convey direction; and help a two-dimensional drawing look more lifelike and three-dimensional. In these two examples, you can see the difference that just one more layer of mark-making has in making a piece look complete and realistic. Read more FIGURE STUDIES FACIAL CHART This facial chart breaks down the many measurements we can use to capture the accurate proportions of a persons face. While there are variations from one person to the next, these general proportions are fairly accurate across most peoples faces. After sketching the outer shape of the face, draw a line straight down the center. This line doesnt necessarily mean the face is mirrored on each side, but it will help you get everything centered. FIGURE PROPORTIONS Some shortcuts will help you draw a figure more accurately. Knowing these shortcuts makes figure drawing a little less daunting. You can use the length of a persons head to measure their height accurately. Most people are between seven and eight heads tall. The width of a persons head can also help determine their shoulder width. Men tend to have shoulders that are three heads wide, while womens shoulders are generally two-and-a-half heads wide. GESTURE DRAWING Just like with animals, gesture drawings are a great way to capture a person in motion. Unless you have a model posing for you, people are generally on the go and dont maintain a position long enough for a detailed portrait drawing. Make quick strokes with your pencil to note the angle of their posture, the tilt of their head, the angle of their hips, and even the direction in which their feet are moving. Read more
