Great to Get You Started with Colored Pencils
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Small but packed with how-to for the colored pencil artist. I particularly liked the Technique and Practice section where I learned about using hatching, ringed shading, and using the direction of the stroke. The advice is practical, compact and to-the-point, and the illustrations show what can be accomplished with this medium. I'm trying to do nature journaling and was pleased with the help it gave me for drawing flowers and animals using tones and surface textures.
