Multi-part tutorial for how I go about the use of colored pencils. I admit straight off that I'm not terribly organized in my method and it generally consists of changing pencils every ten seconds or so. I'm not one of those people who can use one pencil completely, call it done, and then move on to the next one. No, I have my pile of pencils and constantly switch. It is not uncommon to see me with a few pencils in my mouth as I really get into it.
I hope this is helpful, or at least entertaining. This is part one of six. Images taken with Olympus Evolt E-500 digital SLR on manual mode. I used Pentax's digital spot meter to take the exposure readings, and it is an amazing little tool. The camera was mounted on a tripod and using very low exposure speeds.

Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Give him ramen noodles, and you don’t have to teach him anything.

You're most welcome as well. I have some other ideas that I need to execute that will hopefully prove useful as well.
It took me quite a while to get the hang of colored pencils and I think my best advise is still to layer and take it slow. While getting the vibrant full color of an individual pencil right away is exciting, you'll find that layering it down and slowly building it up will produce a much more vibrant and gratifying result.
If you have any specific questions I'm more than happy to offer advise. I know fumbling through on ones' own can be rather frustrating.
