A thorough introduction to working in coloured pencils on a variety of subjects to create works of tremendous subtlety and delicacy. A comprehensive techniques section introduces the materials needed, and demonstrates in step-by-step sequences, essential techniques such as blending and shading. Features 12 step-by-step projects of varying complexity so readers can build skills and confidence gradually, starting with subjects such as cat's eyes and feathers, and working through to more complex illustrations such as a full nature study. Each project is accompanied by a reference photo, a black-and-white outline sketch and a colour key.
