Colored Pencil Drawing Course From Beginner to Intermediate

Learn to craft a creamy sweets composition by building a primary sketch from simple geometric shapes, and create a color catalog to quickly select pencils across brands.

Choose colors from your catalog, match them to your sketch, and apply dark-to-light layered colored pencil with circular motions to avoid strokes, using blue for shadows and warm accents.

Continue coloring the creamy sweets with a realistic painting approach, building texture, shadows, and sponge holes while blending colors and using the eraser for lighter highlights.

Develop creamy sweets coloring using colored pencils, layering darker tones at edges and lighter tones toward the center, blending with purple and grey, and finishing with white highlights.

Select red, orange, and shadow tones from a color catalog, build a cohesive background with light pressure, layer for depth, and use spotting while referencing the model.

Select semi-professional colored pencils to elevate your work, then build depth with black and color 327, blending, and circular motions. Use an electronic eraser for highlights and cohesive berry texture.

Apply color 327 to deepen darkness and placement in the lower areas. Blend with main red and main purple, adjust hand pressure to build textures and shading.

Apply layered colored pencil techniques to render four berries with depth and perspective, including leaves, using reds, blacks, purples, blending shades, eraser highlights, and a background created with color 318.

Learn leaf coloring and finishing techniques with colored pencils, building textures and shading from dark to light, layering greens, blues, and purples to create veiny, lifelike leaves and berries.

Use the checkered method to transfer a glass bell pepper drawing, then color with colored pencils to achieve glass texture through high-contrast, non-blended borders and sharp detail.

Learn to render glass texture in colored pencils by building controlled darkness, following exact shapes and light areas, using blue underlayers and layered red tones to create depth.

Master the completion of a glass bell pepper through layering of red and green tones, building depth with darks, lights, and highlights using colored pencils, electronic eraser, and white pen.

Learn to render wet textures and water drops with colored pencils using the copy method to transfer a primary sketch onto cardboard. Build dark-to-light shading with pressure to avoid texture.

Color the first and second blueberries using dark and lighter blues, then add water drops with highlights to create a glassy, wet look.

Color blueberries in a stepwise, layered manner using colored pencils, building darkness with controlled hand pressure on circular shapes and adding water drops with blending and light erasing.

Finish coloring the blueberries by building deep volume with dark shades and highlights, then begin coloring the surrounding liquid with a dark-to-light color progression from the catalog.

Continue coloring the red liquid with a circular coloring method and layered palettes to build depth, contrast, and a shiny, splashed look while using eraser and white pen for highlights.

Finish coloring the red liquid with layered pencil shading, building darkness in key areas, adding splashes and highlights, and blending colors to convey translucency against blue blueberries.

Apply pink tones with color 325 and lighter shades with 319 to build texture, cover white textures with 392, and add lights with a white pen, using black for contrast.
