Hi GirlBear, are these pencils a water base type pencil? It looks like you have some blending going on down at the bottom of the page. The only thing with doing a car in colored pencil is to work from light to dark. Apply light layers and work over them till you get to where you want to be. By applying one heavy layer you lose the depth of the color. By the way, not a bad sketch from memory.

Thanx 4 the info. I usually go dark then use paint to do lights. Never actually works the way I'd like it too. But what u said makes sense. Um and the mixing, like I said it was hard to use only pencils. So i cheated with some paint and some pens. Its just instinct. Im gonna practice with the colored pencils. But I have a feeling Im gonna be sticking to ink and regular#2's .

hey GB,

nice drawing!! is it allready finished or are you going to draw the whole car? well...like this its allready very good looking!!

I would say leave it as it is. Nice work!

cool work ,keep practicing with the coloured stuff dont give up youll love it when you master them

That's a good effort for a very late night/early morning practice with a new (to you) media. Keep working on those pencils!:grinyes:

Nice work, it sure does look like you can do some magic with colored pencils.

not bad at all.
