Drawing for Fun with Black, White, Brown and Grey Conte Pastels on Tan Paper

Using pastel pencils is very different from colored pencils.

Pastels are much softer, can cover an area much faster, and are super dusty. They do not hold a point as long as a colored pencil, and need to be sharpened often. They can create very painterly looks with a more controlled feel.

In the video below I am coloring this printed ink image of a hummingbird using only four colors. Please feel free to download and work along with me if you like. Enjoy!

Coloring with Faber Castell Pencils and Lolliz Gel Pens

Here is a video using a combo of Faber Castell Pencils and Lolliz Gel Pens in the book COLORING DREAMS.

I chose the page I did because there is a lot of white space in the flower and hummingbird, and I wanted to show how to enhance larger and somewhat empty spaces.

I used the gel pens to add highlights and detail for the most part.

Enjoy!
