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 two of six.

And look! In this part we actually are putting the colored pencils to work!

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.

Animals may not be the same as humans, but they can still feel pain. Just because they can't tell you, doesn't mean they don't feel it.

Thankye! Of course, this is just one process with one medium, but I think some of the principles transfer well.

"You gain as much as you put in. Toss a small grain of sand in an oyster farm and you might get a small pearl back. Toss a little rock in an oyster bed and you get a larger pearl . . . toss in a boulder and you get a bunch of smooshed clams." ~CERT

Yes, and the way its broken down makes it much easier to follow than some others I've seen, those ones seem to skip large parts.

Y'know when you're working on a piece and get in a groove it is rather hard to stop and get a picture of it, I kept having to remind myself that I wanted to get progress shots. I'm glad to hear that it is easier to follow than other tutorials you've seen, means I just be doing something right *grin.*

I agree, you should definantly do another tutorial on character profiles, like in depth fur, you seem really good at it.

:D

Thanks! I'll have to consider that once I'm finished with school.
