Throughout the semester we've been working on different methods and different materials to work on. I've had a wonderful time working with the different methods but, only one method caught my eye the most. Working with artist grade colored pencils would be my favorite method because, I've learned so many different ways to use it and different designs to put into it. I've learned that these colored pencils are different from colored pencils you would use when younger. They contain higher degree of wax and pigment. It allows for rich, deep and Luminescent color. The colors can be easily blended together. The different techniques you can use in colored pencil is magnificent. Theirs so many different ones. You have stippling, hatching, cross-hatching, back and forth stroke, scumbling, shading, incised marks, basic overlay, and burnishing. I learned all these techniques and tried my best to use every single one in my pieces. Its great being able to learn how to blend and put your picture together so well. You should never press to hard with the color pencil because it will start to make a very waxy surface and makes it hard to cover or to blend into things after pressing to hard with it. Color pencil would have to be my favorite just because, I’ve learned something I'm good at without even knowing. (Attached to this post is the first colored pencil drawing I did this semester.)
