Colored Pencil Demonstration Video
Here is a great step by step colored pencil demonstration by artist Veronica Winters.
During this video tutorial, Veronica will share lots of tips and techniques for creating a stunning colored pencil drawing.
Veronica uses colored paper for her drawings as it speeds up the drawing process and makes her drawings appear brighter and more vibrant.
She uses smooth paper that doesn’t have much tooth to it. She uses Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils. These are a high quality colored pencil with a lot of pigment in them. Well worth the investment if you are looking to produce vibrant high quality work like Veronica’s.
She is working from a reference photo that she took in Italy.
She begins with a drawing that she lays out using a graphite 2HB Pencil. She lays in the drawing very lightly as she doesn’t want the graphite to show through in lighter areas of her finished piece. After finishing her initial drawing, she will smooth out harsh lines with a kneaded eraser. While she is creating her initial drawing, she is focusing on creating a great composition.

Preparing Your Paper For Use With Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils
Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils are water-soluble and made of professional artist quality grade pigments. They are sold individually or in sets of 12, 24, and 36 pencils. Used with or without water, the smooth and rich colored leads lend themselves to creating dynamic drawings. Additionally, all Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils precisely match the color palette of Prismacolor’s other products – Premier, Verithin, and Art Stix.
The technique to using water-soluble pencils is up to the individual artist’s imagination. There is no wrong way to use these pencils, except to avoid over saturating paper with water, which can lead to tearing, especially when using light weight paper. Artist grade watercolor paper is recommended, rather than drawing paper.
An alternative to watercolor paper is cold press illustration board, which is a thick, high rag content paper similar in thickness to cardboard. It has what artists call, tooth, which means that the surface is textured and not smooth. The textured surface will absorb water better, allowing for greater artistic control.
