Lee Hammond's Lifelike Drawing in Colored Pencil

[damarcus008]

what if you have just crayon pencils?

@damarcus008 I use to use Crayola pencils and they are for people that are not really serious or beginners. I would go to a art supply store even if you can't get Prismacolor right now they are other brands that are much better. You would see the differance right away.

I want to do what she does for a living. I have several of her books, & although I hate grids, her instruction has worked wonders with my colored pencil & graphite pencil work. Trying to find a way to apply it to oil pastel, too. Lee Hammond rocks!

What you should do, after you have your graphite outlining, is replace the graphite with the actual outline color; if multiple colors are involved, use the lightest color.
