Colored Lead Painting: From Zero Basics to Getting Started, My Experience in Getting Into the Pit (Please be careful with too many pictures)

My encounter with colored lead painting originated from a cat in a colored lead painting. I like cats very much. The cat in the painting is very lifelike, with watery eyes, and the painting is very detailed. How about it? I thought it was a real cat star. From then on, I fell into the pit of colored pencils and never wanted to get up again.

As a novice who has just started painting with colored pencils, let me tell you about my experience:

1. Colored pencil painting tools

①Colored pencils: water-soluble and insoluble, and insoluble ones are divided into dry and oily ones

Water-soluble: The tip of the pen is harder, and the color of the drawing is lighter. It can be smudged after dipping the brush in water. Water-soluble colored pencils draw like watercolors

Dry: The pen tip is harder, the colors drawn are lighter, the lines are clear, and the price is cheap

Oily: It is softer and the color is lighter Glossy, relatively colorful, easy to remove, the color will become lighter after erasing, oil-based colored pencils will look like oil paintings

(Tips: colored pencils include 24 colors, 36 colors, 48 ​​colors, 72 colors Colored, I think 24 colors are enough for beginners. It is recommended to buy Faber-Castell, which has good color rendering effect)

② Paper: sketch paper, watercolor paper, cardboard

Sketch paper, which is easier to color; watercolor paper, used when drawing with water-soluble colored pencils; if the painting is to be given to others, you can use cardboard, but it is more difficult to color, and the color will fade easily.

(Beginners are advised to use sketch paper, which is cheaper and easier to color)

③Eraser: ordinary eraser, pen eraser

Ordinary eraser: Used to erase wrong lines drawn with colored pencils

Pen eraser: used to make detailed modifications

④Colored pencil drawing reference books:

What I bought is The classic version of "Basic Color Lead Tutorial". Although I hate the slippery frog on the cover, I chose this one after comparing many books. It includes the selection of tools, basic knowledge of color, painting techniques, and a detailed analysis of the painting steps.

2. First experience of colored pencil drawing

Tools: colored pencils, pencils, erasers

①First draw a simple outline with a pencil, and then put the pencil Erase the traces and use No. 11 coffee color to outline.

② First use No. 12 khaki color as the base, and then use No. 11 coffee color to draw cross lines. (Pay attention to light and shadow)

③ Use No. 11 brown color to draw the kiwi circle in the middle, then use No. 19 light green to draw the green lines on the edge, and then use No. 18 color to trace one side.

④, because there is no deep black, so I suddenly thought of using a black pen to draw the black seeds (〃 〃) in the middle, and then traced it again with colors 18 and 19

④Deepen the flesh part of the kiwi fruit

⑤Overall modification

This is my first colored pencil painting. The line processing is rough and the color levels are also rough, but for me, a novice, Personally, I'm quite satisfied.
