Welcome to the “Color Pencil Drawing: Beginner to Advanced” course!

This course is designed to teach you all the basics and techniques, different tips for drawing with color pencils, as well as teaching you how to observe your subject and draw portraits in your own style.

With this medium, you require a good understanding of colors, this is why we teach you all about the color wheel and how to mix them perfectly together. You will then learn about different color combinations, tones and more importantly textures. Learn how your pencil and hand pressure control affects your result on the paper.

This course is designed to break the traditional perspective of color pencil as a slow medium. This is why we focus on teaching color pencil drawings with a modern twist.

What is more exciting about these tutorials is that you will get access to all freebie drawing outlines for each course but also each lesson will teach you how to draw in free hand style without tracing or measurement tools. So you will both improve your drawing skills as well as color pencil techniques.

Different techniques such as burnishing, layering and hatching are all taught in this course with carefully designed step by step tutorials and downloadable guidance for each lesson.

Then, you will get to know more about the source of light and how it affects the subject you are going to draw, teaching you how different shadows are created in color pencil drawings. If you want to find out what you may be doing wrong in your drawings, we have a do’s and don’ts lesson in this course which will teach you about the main things to avoid in your color pencil drawings.

Later on in this step by step tutorial, we will apply the acquired skills from the previous lessons onto a still life sample, before then going through the different facial features.

This course will cover all human facial features from the basics all the way through to modern realistic drawing with faster hand movements. This will include eyes, lips, nose and different hairstyle colors. Each of these features have been taught in two different brands so you can compare and learn more about them, such as Faber Castell and Caran d’Ache.

We all know skin tone colors have always been confusing but now you will get to know how to create all different skin tones with color pencils. Let’s unlock all the different colour combinations together by mixing multiple pencils to create a variety of skin tones.
