Coloring Element Help

hey, iv been just drawing alot lately, and now im hoping to add some color. I have most of the materials i need(at least i think so anyways...), but i was wondering when or where you use the different elements. i think i remember aseanz and other great artists explaining how they use different types of materials on a single drawing. are there certain spots you use pencil, pastel or markers?

anythin would be great, i just want to know as much as i can before i try it on the drawing. i looked on the tutorials that have been posted but must have missed it or didnt see it. everything helps, thanks

ok here we go...

pencils for sketching out the basic lines

pens for tracing the lines

markers for the solid tones-this is the main part of your reflection in most cases

pastels for gradiating tones-sky usually

gauache paint for highlights

those are your basic materials but these are just basic..you can go all out if you want

wow, way to keep it simple...thats awesome, you should post that in the tut thread

thats exactly what i was looking for. thanks alot!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a little OT, but acoustic, what is your avatar?

my avatar? my last name is hartman, so it stands for that, and i usually incorporate into my drawings someway or another for fun. it was on the gt drawing on the license plate. yours is hilarious, whered you get that from??

i dont remember, ive used this avatar on a couple other forums, and i got it from one of my posts there

want me to post this in the tut section?

up to you
