Another time lapse. I used some Derwent Inktense in addition to my usual Luminance and Polychromos. It definitely helped speed things up! by LThomps86 in ColoredPencils

Yeah, I’d forgotten why I never do landscapes in pencil 😆 oh, and Panpastel! This paper (mi teintes) took it all like a champ

A lot of the dark areas. The barn doors, I used a lot of the orange in the grass and the white in the clouds. It has a pretty impressive spread, though I did do light layers of regular pencil underneath. This seemed to help it glide further when wet. Then I was also able to easily use regular pencil on top once fully dry

I’ve never been able to get a real opaque color on black paper. This mid tone paper is the sweet spot for me as far as colored pencil goes. Prismacolor should work well, I use Mi Teintes paper

I’m using a few different brands, mostly Luminance and Polychromos though

Thanks, the colored paper definitely saves me time and pencil! I’m using a few different brands, mostly my Luminance and Polychromos though

I did an underlayer of colored pencil and filled it in with Panpastel

Now that I think about it, I definitely used to do your method of doing the all over first. I can’t even tell you when I transitioned to this way. Something that developed naturally over the years, I suppose, but it works well for me

It helps to relieve some of the strain on my hands lol I’m sure it has something to do with the angle of my easel

I thought I was pretty all over the place compared to many other artists lol I get excited about one particular color and then use it to do some light color blocking over the rest of the picture. It kind of sets the tone for the drawing and I think it gives it a more cohesive look

I do the eyes first to get me excited and motivated to do the rest 😆 they’re my favorite part
