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 five of six.

Continuing work on the character. I actually kinda enjoyed working on the clothes. I have never really spent this much time researching or rendering clothing before. However, I believe the time and effort was worth it.

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.

you use really sharp pencils right?

Most of the time, but especially when working in areas that require fine detail. I've been known to let them get a bit dull when working in large areas or laying down the first layers.
