RE: Learn To Draw With Friends Is Back!!!.... Week Three ..... 35 SBD Prize Pool And Everyone Is Invited!! :{)
WOW! That came out nice. I have been trying to think through how I will tackle the lion. i was thinking pencil first then color pencil over it, not sure. You just went straight at it with color pencils?
I started with the black pencil to lay out the eyes and nose/ mouth, then started drawing fur. None of my pencils were sharpened, so I was drawing 'suggested' locks of hair more than individual strands.
Thank you - I will probably attempt this one tomorrow. I did the bird last night and started with pencil, then color. It did come out nice in the end, but it was more difficult for me then the drawing last week of just pencil sketches with no color.
One reason that I skip the pencil underneath is that the graphite mixes with the color pencils when they try to cover it up, and it takes some of the intensity out of the colors. I do sometimes pencil in the outlines of things, but it's very light so that it will disappear later.
Yeah, that was the issue I ran into with the bird last night. It ended up looking good, but it took some effort in the end to get the details back in with the two pencil types smearing together.
