What You Will Learn?

  • Colored Pencils is a popular medium for Photorealistic Drawings. But, analysing a Reference Photo and choosing the appropriate Colors can be quite tricky for a beginner. In this Class I have simplified this process with the help of several examples. I will walk you through the steps that I follow while Drawing from a Reference, starting from where to find the perfect photo to how to get make your Colored Pencil Drawings detailed and realistic. We will then apply all these learnings and draw realistic Macarons which will be our Class Project.
  • In this Class I will explain:.
  • You don’t have to be a pro at Colored Pencils for taking this Class! If you have tried Colored Pencils before and would like to use them for Photorealistic Drawings, then this Class is a perfect fit for you. If you are totally new to this medium, then as a pre requisite please watch my previous Class: Introduction to Realism with Colored Pencils so that you are well equipped with the basics.
  • By the end of this Class you will have improved your Colored Pencil skills and will be able to approach a Reference Photo with a new found confidence. Other than that, I am sure you will enjoy the process, as Colored Pencils is a slow & relaxing medium.
  • Alright! Grab your Colored Pencils, Paper and join me in this Class!.
