Creating Colored Pencil Art: Tips For Beginners

Drawing with color pencils is not an easy art. The way we are supposed to use color pencils is highly different than that of graphite pencils in numerous ways. Despite their super success and tremendous popularity, many artists

refuse to consider them a piece of art.

Tip 1

It is important to take care of your hand hygiene while using color pencils. These pencils leave a lot of dirt while using.

Thus, it is imperative to wash your hands after the drawing, so as to prevent the dirt going into the eyes, mouth and

nose.

Tip 2

While creating your art piece, use a slip sheet to prevent the oil smudges, which can spoil the painting. Stay careful so as

to not smudge the painting as most of the paper can sensitive to the body oils.

Tip 3

Avoid placing your drawing sheet on an uneven surface. Put it on the flat surface and make sure you have adequate

space for the body movement and keeping the necessary things.

Tip 4

Get a clipboard of perfect length from the art stores. The ideal size of a clipboard is 18*18.

Tip 5

Find a comfortable seat for yourself and place the board in a way that you get a clear view of the paper. Correct sitting

posture will trigger pain in the neck and back region, and you will be able to concentrate better.
