Hi everyone!! Welcome to a new colored pencil class here on Skillshare. In this class I’ll be demonstrating step-by-step on how to draw this stargazer lily flower realistically with colored pencils.

I’ll be sharing all the techniques and tools required that I have learned over the years in my artistic journey. In the end your art will look more like a painting than a drawing with all these techniques.

My main technique with this medium is Layering and I love to achieve a smooth painting like texture on my drawings with lots of layers blended together.

As with every medium, colored pencils also work best on a suitable surface. Use of appropriate paper/surface, colored pencils and some tools can make this journey relaxing and enjoyable. You don’t have to buy super expensive pencils initially in the beginning but a good artist and professional grade will go a long way. Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils are great pencils to start with as they are suitable for any subject. As for paper, I prefer Strathmore Bristol vellum surface or hot pressed watercolor paper as they are smooth and have some tooth and give a good grip to colored pencils.

IMPORTANT: In the List of materials document provided, I have mentioned the alternatives to Caran d’Ache Pablo and Luminance pencils in case you don’t have these pencils and assuming you have Polychromos. But if you don’t have either of these brands, then just match the pencils you have with the reference picture and you are good to go.

As always, a line drawing will be provided for you to trace from, along with a copyright free reference image, my final drawing image and a list of materials document.
