learn how to draw using Prismacolor colored pencils! IF you want to practice how to draw a marble or how to draw a sphere, this will be a great video for you! The key to making a marble look three dimensional using colored pencils is to draw with high contrast and use bright whites for the reflections. If you’re trying to get better at drawing or you’re a beginning drawing student, o I will walk you through a bunch of strategies you’ll be able to apply to all your drawings. I discuss a bunch of tips including how to shade, how to layer and blend, how to burnish with colored pencils and how to get the right level of details in your drawing.
I recommend Prismacolors colored pencils. Crayola generally won’t give you as rich colors.
These are the prismacolor colored pencils I used in this marble drawing:
