Description oh my god, i'm so sorry computer for making you send this gigantic file...

you might want to download this to see it better...

while you wait for this behemoth to load, i suggest you go to the automated carwash and clean the winter gunk off of your car. they have lovely colored soaps that surround your car that you can watch. it's like an acid trip, but much less brain damaging.

anyway, here's a tutorial on prismacolor colored pencils coloring. I hope it answers some of the questions people have been asking me lately.

Thanks! The pencil colors will blend themselves depending on the pressure you put on the points when drawing.

Ooh, thank you so much for this. ^^ I'm often times seeing these amazing colored pencil pictures and thinking "man, I wish I could do that, but I don't know how to get that effect". So it's nice to finally find a very good tutorial on colored pencil coloring. ^^ Many, many thanks and I hope to use this in the near future.

I found this a while ago and used the dark shades first/light shades last skin technique tonight (I only used three different shades of peach/brown though XD) as opposed to the usual light to dark. It turned out great! Thanks for posting this!

I know my comment is a little late, but I was able to get my Prisma pencils for just under 40 cents each at a college bookstore. Not a bad price, IMO, and you can build your collection a little at a time.

How nice of you to be patient enough to put this together! I always thought making atutorial would be nice, but I either forget to take pictures at a certain stage or I lack the aforementioned patience. This is very thorough, though.

i've had to replace a few grays, and black and white, but all but about 4 colors have been in the same set.

Prisma colors? Well they sure are awesome, but quite hard to find I think. I mean... the usual art store I go to sell literally everything an artist might need, except for prisma coloured pencils! I should sue them for limiting my artistic possibilities.

I'm really glad you posted this tutorial. Many coloured pencil n00bs (like me) really need some guidance in using these babies. Very well explained, excellent work!

EatToast In reply to Cataclysm-X [2008-12-27 16:05:45 +0000 UTC]

prismacolor pencils are the ONLY things down here! you can find them at the walmarts, the art stores, and the office supply stores, and probably in toilet stores. (?!?!) it's kind of annoying, actually. but if you do get some, i suggest you get them online, as they'll be a lot cheaper.

when and if you find them, you'll be owning me in no time, they're so much fun to use, and you learn really quickly with them! i hope it helps!

hmm well I'm getting a whole bunch of Van Gogh pencils for my birthday, so I guess I'll be fine

lmao it's weird you can get them anywhere over there. Stupid dutch art stores!

EatToast In reply to Cataclysm-X [2008-12-27 17:08:40 +0000 UTC]

i've never tried the van gogh kind. i've seen them in magazines though. i can't wait to see what you'll do with colors! it's funny, in that cloud pencil drawing that i've been neglecting for the past week, i've noticed that it's taking WAY longer to do in black and white! who knew!?
