in realistic style
Introduction:
Drawing on a toned paper can make your drawings look even more realistic, because
when we draw with bright colored pencils it looks even more outstanding than when we
draw with them on white paper. It’s good to remember that the drawn areas can be little bit
darker than they are on white paper, but we always can make them lighter with white
colored pencils.
In this book with 4 drawing tutorials you can find a lot of tricks and tips that you can
apply to your drawings. The most important is to keep practicing. Some artists draw area
by area, some start from the darkest parts, some from the lightest ones. You have to find
out what is the most appropriate for you. I’ll try to keep it simple and helpful.
Few advices that I want to give you that might be helpful:
- The more detailed, the better drawing.
- Don’t compare yourself with those who draw worse than you. This way you can be
satisfied although you still have a lot to improve.
- Patience. If you just throw your pencil saying “It’s not for me!” of course you won’t
develop and improve. If you want success you have to work on drawing with patience.
In this book we won’t use much colors, only 2-3 colors per drawing, so that can be simple
even for beginners.
We are going to make a strong contrasts on our drawings so they can look really realistic:
To make a 3D illusion with heavy shadows:

So let’s get started.
Tools:
This book is about colored pencils, but I would recommend a white ink gel pen, which is
very useful for drawing over already drawn dark areas. We can achieve it with white
colored pencil, but it’s really difficult, so this pen is great.
I would recommend a two types of colored pencils: for the thinner parts and hair use the
harder colored pencils such is Faber-Castell and for creating a smooth textures (smooth
surfaces, larger areas) use a soft colored pencil such is Prismacolors. It’s easier if you use
the smoothest paper. You can also use a colorless blender, but for blending the drawn areas
you can use even a white colored pencil.

Using the grid method:

As a first you should always draw a sketch and make it as proportional as possible.
Take time and patience for drawing a main lines, because it is a base of your drawing. If
it’s difficult for you to get a proportional sketch, you can use a grid method, which many
artists use. In the next image you can see how it works, I’ve made one sample from my
drawing. Draw a grid, with mechanical pencil using a ruler, over a reference photo and
draw a grid on a blank paper. Draw a main lines from the squares of reference photo to the
squares of your paper. Once you’re finished with sketch, erase the grid lines.
Dice - drawing tutorial
As a first draw the main lines using a grid-method. In the next image you can see a sample
that I’ve made about grid. If you are advanced drawer, you can use only 1-2 lines in your
grid.
You should draw a grid and main lines with H graphite pencil, because it can be easily
erased. If you press hard this lines will stay visible even under the colored pencils. So,
press gently with pencil; you need this line only for orientation.
As you can see I’m drawing it on a grey paper which is little bit green, but you can choose
any other color.

Let’s start with white color, so you can see what are the benefits of drawing on a toned
paper. With white colored pencil draw the spots and the shining on the dice.
With red colored pencil draw all the red parts. This is not difficult, but has to be drawn
carefully. I used Faber-Castell for the red parts next to do white areas, because
Prismacolors are too soft for drawing such a precise parts.
