Description
Maybe you´ve seen her arround in my sketchdumps but I never introduced her, this time I decided to do something elaborated about her, my love for this secondaery character of mine has been increasing more and more in the past few months so...
at least you know the colors now!Most of the moles are provisional because I still din´t a proper study of this OC and need to decide some things
and also the colors of the dress are not the exact ones, I don´t have more colors in my pencil case :_D but at least are aproximated!Krucha (c)

She looks so beautiful. Seriously. So detailed... And you have a very attractive drawing style! That's just the sort of balance of realism and stylization that I just love
I love Krucha's skin. The moles look very realistic and make her an all the more unique-looking girl. I have to be braver and try giving my own characters more detailed skin...
I like that haircut very much, too, and I think the way you've drawn Krucha's nose and eyes is absolutely beautiful. Her earring is colored in a lovely way as well!

Hi! First of all I want to say thank you
oh I have to try a lot of different skins yet and try to improve it as well as shadows and high lights! and I encourage you to try! It was funny to do something different
thanks again

You're very welcome
I think I can understand you on that... I usually feel my own drawing style is not realistic enough for people who prefer that, but it's still too realistic for people who prefer a more stylized style XD But your style is very appealing, trust me

You're welcome. There's one thing according to your color pencil coloration I always wanted to ask.
I looked up several tutorials when I did that traditional headshot of Avis and it's always "pressure, slight pressure, pressure" when you color an area - that's also clearly visible in your piece. I did my coloration with sharpened color pencils and my question is: Do you also color with sharpened color pencils only? I mean, the colored areas look so consistent and smooth and personally, I can't manage looking my pencil colors like that. My pictures always look so... well, "hard". :/
God, I hope my question is understandable. >_>'

yes, the fact about the pressure is true and I also work coloring always in circles(I don´t know if you already do this) to make the colors looks consistent and smooth, with this technic, personally, I think the colors blend perfectly and all the areas looks that consistent!
and about the sharpened color pencils, I only use sharpened pencils when I´m coloring little details or areas, where I need presission, the rest of the drawins is mostly colored with a less sharppened ones, I think that decreased the risk of scratch the the colors(I mean that you can see the traces of the color pencil) and let you have more contronl on the pressure. Hope you understand all
and maybe if you try new paper with a different texture, now I use a more textured paper(similar to watercolor paper), at first I thought ''whoa coloring in this paper is hard, I won´t be able to fit the colors...'' but two or three drawings later I was used to it and now I love it

Never thought of coloring in small circles but it sounds good. I may try this out, thank you.
Using another kind of paper doesn't seem to be such a bad idea, too.

really hope it helps
But overall only the practice can make it perfect, I think I have colored tons of drawings with color pencils, maybe more than one hundred, because for a long time it was the only tool that I had so I´m really used to them. I´ve spent like six years only coloring with color pencils, since I was a child, till the past year that I also bought the copics
And theese are from the first year that I bought the actual color-pencils, like 3 years ago,[link] in regular paper) the colors still not blend enough :I
So I`m trying to tell you that you need to have patience, keep practicing and never quit, then, one day you´ve improved without even have noticed it^^

It really looks like there's a difference between the pencils. How much did you pay for professional pencils? I'm just curious because sometimes everything art related is so fucking expensive. X_x'

I bought this Bruynzeel colors pencils, concrete this box: www.google.es/imgres?um=1&hl=e... , www.google.es/imgres?um=1&hl=e... , I was looking the price in internet and I see prices arround 300 and 360 $, but I only paid 35€ for them, the dependant of the shop said that them had a little disccount but I don´t think they really cost that much ¬¬ Bruynzeel are profesional color pencils but aren´t the most expensive ones, I found the official web of prismacolor(pretty good color pencils) and I think you can use it as a guide for the prices:www.google.com/search?q=Prisma... theese are more propperly in my opinion : )
yep, art tools are always so expensive u.u That´s why I´m always so broke

Your tips are indead very helpful for me. I'm always afraid to ask an artist too much questions but I'm often very interested in how they manage some effects and work in general. Sometimes I'm just afraid that I'm too anoying.

Wow, Prismacolors is pretty espensive. O.O' But your set looks interesting. I was asking because I need new color pencils and I'm still thinking of which ones I should buy. I guess soon I'll be broke, too.
Thank you for your answer and all the links.
