What You Will Learn?

  • Colored Pencils is a popular medium for Photorealistic Drawings. But it is a slow medium and one needs to have a lot of patience to capture all the details. That’s why many beginners tend to give up this beautiful medium just because it is quite time consuming.
  • In this Class we will find a way to speed up our Colored Pencil Drawings with help of another medium: Alcohol Markers. I will explain to you how to use Markers to create an underpainting for your Colored Pencil Drawings. We will apply the techniques learnt and create three realistic food illustrations for our Class Project.
  • Following topics will be covered in this Class:.
  • No prior experience with Markers is necessary to take this Class. Also, you don’t have to be a pro at Colored Pencils for taking this Class!
