Four Colored Pencil Sketches

I’m experimenting with toned paper. The shell and grapes are from tutorials.

I’m into fruit lately.

Mineral paper, in this case 16 pt. Terraskin, has a smooth surface and creates a luminous quality.

These Caran D’Ache Luminance pencils have a dry quality but the color is vivid.

I’ve grown fond of the pear after drawing it three times this weekend.


The left views are Caran D’Ache pencils, and the right are the same only with Inktense as a background. I’m using Yasutomo mineral paper.

It works! I’m really pleased with the way colored pencil works on my Terraskin paper. I used Prismacolors (an old set) and the effect is super smooth, especially when I put down a layer of white first or used a Derwent blender. I find I can put down about six layers of pencil without any problems.
