I have demonstrated several examples to walk you through the process of choosing Colors. Once you get the hang of it you can start the Class Project

For the Class Project we will be drawing Realistic Macarons

I have chosen this particular Illustration as it covers several Colored Pencil concepts like layering, textures, color mixing, light and shadow etc. The Class Project is designed such that you will be able to follow along and learn, yet be able to independently finish it later on without having to just copy what’s on the screen

Materials needed:

Colored Pencils of your choice (preferably a set of 48)
Paper suitable for Colored Pencils
White Gel Pen
Basic Stationary

I have explained in detail about different types of Pencils, Papers and other tools in my earlier Colored Pencils Class, but I will also be leaving a recommendations list in the Projects & Resources section for those who haven’t watched my earlier Classes

What you need to do:

Download the Reference Photo, Line Drawing from the Projects & Resources Section
I have simplified the Line Drawing and uploaded it so that you can print it out and trace it
I will explain the Colors that you need to use for the Project and will prepare a Color Chart first so that you have an idea of what colors to use. You can download it from the Projects & Resources section
Once you have the initial sketch and the Colors ready you can start the Class Project along with me
I will explain in detail a section of the Drawing along with the techniques to follow and you can draw along. Later you will have to complete another section of the Drawing in a similar manner
Please start a Discussion in the Class Discussions section if you feel stuck at any point or if you have any queries. I will try my best to help you out
Upload your finished Drawing in the Projects & Resources section so that I can provide feedback
