Colored Pencils is a popular medium for Photorealistic Drawings. But it is a slow medium and one needs to have a lot of patience to capture all the details. That’s why many beginners tend to give up this beautiful medium just because it is quite time consuming

In this Class we will find a way to speed up our Colored Pencil Drawings with help of another medium: Alcohol Markers. I will explain to you how to use Markers to create an underpainting for your Colored Pencil Drawings. We will apply the techniques learnt and create three realistic food illustrations for our Class Project

Following topics will be covered in this Class:

Using Alcohol Markers for creating an underpainting or the initial base layers
Using Colored Pencils for subsequent layers, details and texture
Techniques to follow while combining Markers with Colored Pencils
Using Markers to make your Drawings more vibrant and smooth
Colored Pencils Tips & Techniques to create realistic drawings
Application of these concepts to complete three realistic food illustrations (Tomato, Apple, Popsicle) which will be your Class Project

No prior experience with Markers is necessary to take this Class. Also, you don’t have to be a pro at Colored Pencils for taking this Class! If you have tried Colored Pencils before and would like to use them to speed up your Photorealistic Drawings, then this Class is a perfect fit for you. If you are totally new to this medium, then as a pre requisite please watch my previous Class :Introduction to Realism with Colored Pencils so that you are well equipped with the basics

By the end of this Class you will have improved your Colored Pencil skills and will be able to complete your drawings faster using Alcohol Markers. This Class will also let you experiment with Mixed Media by combining the best features of both mediums.
