colored pencil
Colored
pencils allow artists to work with a drawing tool that has the
control and precision of a hard-point pencil but obviously these
pencils are “in color,” as opposed to a graphite or charcoal
implement. The popularity of colored pencil art has increased greatly
in recent years, and there is a variety of them on the market.
Artists should always look for colored pencils with rich color, that
are lightfast, and with no gritty feel to them. Colored pencil
techniques are similar to those of other drawing media, including
hatching and crosshatching to create complex colors and tones on
paper, and mastering how to build up color gradually while working
with the white of the drawing surface, which is usually paper.
