How to draw starry sky with colored pencils, more details

1. Cut grass. The mountain peaks are outlined in black and the lake is drafted in dark blue. Start drawing the small tree from the top of the mountain. Don't worry about the details of the small tree. Cover it with dark green later and it will look more natural. Finally, strengthen the mountain and lake surface. Please see the renderings.

Extended information

1. Painting method with wax colored lead

Composition: First draw the outline of the object with a pencil.

Coloring: The basic painting methods of colored lead painting are flat painting and arranging lines. Shape it with the lines of the sketch. Since colored pencils have certain strokes, when arranging lines and painting them flatly, you must pay attention to the direction of the lines, which must have a certain pattern, and the weight must be moderate. Because the wax colored lead is a translucent material, when coloring, follow the order of light colors first and then dark colors, otherwise the dark colors will turn up.

Modification: Use an eraser or knife to process the bright surfaces and highlights of the object.

Basic techniques of water-soluble colored pencils

3. Water-soluble halo reduction method: Taking advantage of the characteristics of water-soluble colored lead being soluble in water, the colored lead lines are fused with water to achieve the effect of halo reduction.

2. Types of colored pencils

Waxy colored pencils: Most are based on wax, with rich colors and special performance effects.

Water-soluble colored lead: Most of them are carbon-based and water-soluble. However, water-soluble colored lead is difficult to form a smooth color layer and is prone to color spots. It is similar to watercolor painting and is more suitable for painting buildings and sketching. .
