The Humble Coloured Pencil
The Importance of Making the Right Choices
It is often said that good tool choices make a great craftsperson. As with all other media, that axiom is as true when learning how to draw with coloured pencils. The selection of the right tools, in this case, your pencils of choice or the paper you will use can have a tremendous impact on the results of your efforts.
Coloured Pencils are probably the medium I struggled with a great deal when I started out, as information were few and the Internet hadn't a lot of information at that time. And yet, it became the medium I used predominantly within the 15 years I worked as a commercial illustrator before I turned to teaching. That is why I emphasise in instructing my students on the tools available for this trade and provide information they need to make sound decisions when choosing the right pencils for their masterpieces.
