whoa, you're so good!
do you have any tips on doing cubism?

[wiffy]

what kind of materials you use to color the apple?

and how to do shading? what materials again?

I use coloured pencils to do the apple . a range of colours . Say you notice that the lightest colour on an apple is yellow . YOu shade the whole apple yellow . The progressively add the other shades or colours lightest to darkest as and where needed

This same theory applies to black and white too . Whether you use a single 2B pencil to shade or a whole range of colours. The pressure of the pencil makes a difference too

With a cube you must determine where the mainlight source is . That side is the lightest tone .

reds for eg have differnt shades . there are blue reds( cool shades ) and yellow /orange reds( warm shades ) . look colsely at a 36 Piece coloured pencil set and you will know what I am referring to .

so if you want to darken certain spots on a warm toned object its best you use a dark brown thats almost black .. dont use black to darken your apple or it will look dead and flat

if the object is Blue then a dark purple is good for deepening the object . because purple is blue plus red .. this theory never fails . This way too you dont get clashes of tones

She may have rubbered it with her fingers to smudge it right?Anyway great pics,I drawed really bad and them all th sudden I did good,and now with this I'll do even better!

[cow32323]

I dont do smudging .

i just go layer over layer . the trick is to know where to colour where njot to .

and what pressure to use with the pencil you are holding

Oh!Awsome!I have never heard of that,I'll try it...but I am way so not as good as you!I mean it also your drawings are cool!

[Kelly_Bear]

mm..i love smudging...it turns out so cool

Cow:Have you ever tried burnishing? it makes your colored pencil paintings look a bit like oil paintings,and makes the colors more vivid..its very neat

[Maltesa]

wow they are so cool i could never draw like that

[Buffy_Bijou]

wow! I can't draw for beans! (lol)

[cippen]

i cant see the pics =\

[Dezilu]

Yeah, I can't either, but it's probably because this thread is from '04.
Sometimes, people delete pics from their online accounts, and then they don't show up if they've posted them anywhere ;)
