5 Must have materials for colour pencil pet portrait artists
I am a self-taught colour pencil artist and I have been using colour pencils every day for the last four years to create my portrait commissions and develop my skills. I have learnt a lot about the types of colour pencils out there and which ones work best with my style of drawing. When I first started drawing I used a small tin of Derwent drawing pencils. These were ideal to get me going and are an inexpensive way to start developing your skills as a colour pencil artist. But as I started experimenting with other brands I realised the significance of more expensive pencils and they were so much better in terms of saturation and depth.
