How To Build Colour Depth with Coloured Pencil

We have been looking at colour in our children’s classes

and applying it to our dragon drawings.

Try these complex mixes to create vibrant colours:

green – add blue to darken and yellow to lighten 

orange – add red to darken and yellow to lighten

purple – add blue to darken and red to lighten 

To help with pencil work watch the following video and follow these rules:

No 1: Layers!  Build in layers

No 2: Pressure! Use plenty of Pressure!

No 3: Don’t just use one colour – blend!
