Coloured Pencil Tutorial - Your Opinions

Tue Jun 30, 2009, 6:18 AM
  • Mood: Apprehensive
  • Listening to: Bengara Koushi - Bleach Rock Musical Soundtrack
  • Reading: Robot Dreams by Isaac Asimov
  • Watching: Hairspray
  • Eating: Choco Pops
  • Drinking: Water
A while back I asked in a poll whether I should do a tutorial on how I use coloured pencils or not, and the result was a clear 'yes'. After that I've though on and off about it, and realised that if I intend to do it, I might as well do it properly or not at all.
Mainly because there are quite many things I can include, and I'm not even sure if I've covered them all so far.
So, I thought that I'd ask you about what you want to see instead, to be more effective :XD: (you are supposed to know that, yes, since you asked for it :P )
Do bear in mind that there is no guarantee that I will have space to include all your suggestions though, but just in case I've forgotten something it can be good to get some extra opinions.

As it is now, the tutorial is likely to be divided into three, since there are lots of basic things to mention - like tools and methods (so that people will stop asking me about it :XD: ) - and then more in depth look on various... things.

So far, the list of things I have is as follows:


Tutorial 1 - Tools and Tips
:bulletpink: Paper used
:bulletpurple: Pencils used
:bulletblack: Erasers used
:bulletpink: Blending stumps (they are useful)
:bulletpurple: Basic methods (drawing direction, blending etc.)
:bulletblack: Line art tips
:bulletpink: Other useful tips (patience, planning ahead)

Tutorial 2 - The Basics
:bulletpurple: Choosing colours
:bulletblack: Light effects
:bulletpink: Skin (including eyes)
:bulletpurple: Hair
:bulletblack: Clothes (folds etc.)
:bulletpink: Metal and jewels

Tutorial 3 - Background Elements
:bulletpurple: Stars
:bulletblack: Clouds
:bulletpink: Trees, leaves and flowers
:bulletpurple: Stone
:bulletblack: Blood and gore


I will show step by step how to draw these things, but some will take more space than others (since some of them are fairly simple after all) so that's why there is no even division of the bullets between the tutorials.

Anyways.
Your mission now is to look over that list and let me know if there is something you think I've missed or something you think I can skip. I don't feel like doing something that's not necessary just as little as I want to miss something really important ^^;

I will most likely try to start with the shit next week or so, which means that your opinions - if I'm going to have time to consider them - are welcome before that :)

On another note I can mention that I'm back in Slagnäs with my mother now, and our new puppy - Daisy - is even smaller than our other dog Diva :XD: She will of course grow, but at the moment she looks like a small, furry sausage or something. Which is... cute, I guess :XD:
She's very fond of licking people's noses anyway - especially if she can get inside their nostrils (which she does, all the time) - while Diva prefers licking people's tongues. Spike, our old dog, loved cleaning people's ears of wax.
. . .
Freaky dogs.
