colored pencil

 

  • [18] Techniques Colored pencils can be used in combination with several other drawing mediums.

  • • Layering is usually used in the beginning stages of a colored pencil drawing, but can also be used for entire pieces.

  • When used by themselves, there are two main rendering techniques colored pencil artists use.

  • Student- and scholastic-grade colored pencils lack the high quality pigments and lightfastness of artist-grade products, and their color range is smaller, often limited to
    24 or 36 colors.

  • The pencils are known for their vibrant colors and are versatile enough for use on a variety of surfaces, making them a favorite among professionals for applications requiring
    precision and longevity.

  • Student- and scholastic-grade [edit] Colored pencils manufactured by Schwan-Stabilo Many of the same companies that produce artist-grade colored pencils also offer student-grade
    materials and scholastic-level colored pencils.

  • This technique can also be used to blend colors together, and many artists will apply both techniques in one art piece.

  • [citation needed] Types Several types of colored pencils are manufactured for both artistic and practical uses.

  • The pencils can be used dry—like normal colored pencils—or they can be applied wet to get the desired watercolor effect.

  • Finally, draw over it using colored pencil and the design should stand out.

  • Many artists use them for preliminary sketches, given that graphite pencils are not compatible with pastels.

  • Colored pencils are made in a wide range of price, quality and usability, from student-grade to professional-grade.

  • There is no general quality difference between wax/oil-based and water-soluble colored pencils, although some manufacturers rate their water-soluble pencils as less lightfast
    than their similar wax/oil-based pencils.

  • [13] Artist-grade pencils have the largest color ranges; 72 color sets are very common and there are several brands of 120 colors or more.

  • [14] Student-grade colored pencils also tend to cost significantly less than their higher-grade counterparts, which makes them more accessible for children and students.

  • [11] Although colored pencils had been used for “checking and marking” for decades prior, it was not until the early 20th century that artist-quality colored pencils were
    produced.
