As the most important tool in color lead painting, colored pencils, of course, need to be well understood. Today, I will teach you how to identify high-quality colored pencils from several characteristics, so that everyone can choose the Mr right that suits you, and you can better use the characteristics of colored pencils to describe your works.
Colored pencil is a kind of pencil that can paint rich colors. It has strong image expression and is suitable for a variety of works. The style is super realistic 3D painting, warm and healing small illustrations, sweet girly style, and beautiful ancient style. Perfect show. However, to use color lead well, you must first understand its three coloring characteristics.
The first point of color pencil is full and bright, and the brush strokes are delicate and soft, which can easily create exquisite picture details.
The second point color pencil is not like oil painting. Pigments such as gouache have strong coverage, and the color of color lead is translucent. When we stack two or more colors together, we will get a new color, so the stacking color becomes the color of the color. Methods of reconciling colors in lead painting.
The third point must be noted that under normal circumstances, the coloring marks of colored pencils cannot be completely wiped off by the eraser, and can only be wiped off when lightly colored. Therefore, when you want to create a blank screen effect, you must first vacate the blank area.
After learning about color pencils, it is necessary to choose color pencils, but it is easy for Xiaobai to be confused by a variety of color pencil brands. In the selection of color pencils at the beginning stage, it is necessary to distinguish the difference between professional and non-professional. First of all, let’s look at professional color pencils. We start from the coloring effect and cost-effectiveness of color pencils. I think there are two types that are very suitable for novice partners. Ash thickened. Red Box and Marco Renoir Iron Box Grey Boga Red Box are also the color pencils I used in this course. Let’s try these two color pencils.
Here I will teach you to judge the quality of color pencils from three aspects, one is the hardness of the refill, the other is the color rendering of the pencil, and the third is the color stacking ability of the pencil.
First test the hardness of the refill. Try painting with red and gray first, you can feel that its refill is hard, and the brush strokes are clear and obvious. When painting, you need to increase the stroke force a little bit. A hard refill like this will have more advantages in depicting details. This beautifully detailed realistic bell is done in red and grey.
Try Marco again, you can clearly feel that its refill is slightly soft, and the brush strokes are slightly blurred, and you can paint obvious colors with light strokes. This kind of soft refill is more effective when painting a large area. Advantage. This portrait of a beautiful girl with a large area of the atmosphere was painted with Marco.
Next, test the color rendering of the two color pencils, use them to color on two sheets of paper, and use the strength from blue to heavy to feel the color intensity of the pencil. It can be seen that the color of red and gray is very pure, and the color of Marco is also bright and rich, so the color rendering of the two color pencils is very good. Note that if you choose non-professional color pencils, you will find that the color pencils in your hand do not matter. No matter how hard you paint, you can only paint light colors. There is no way to paint bright and full works with such colored pencils.
Finally, let’s test the color of the plate. First select a few similar colors from two professional color pencils to paint. It can be seen that both red, gray and Marco can easily overlap multiple colors, and the colors after stacking are clear and obvious.
Generally speaking, the more layers of color pencils, the better the drawing effect. If it is a non-professional color pencil, you will find that it will not be able to draw with one or two layers. Using such pencils will affect the drawing effect. After choosing the brand, how many colors are better for beginners to buy? From the perspective of color richness and cost performance, 48 colors are more suitable.
Finally, color lead is divided into oily and water-soluble, so what is the difference between them? Which one to choose? In fact, the biggest difference between oily and water-soluble color pencils is whether they can be humidified. The water-soluble color lead can be painted with the effect of oil-based color lead when it is dry, and its refill pigment can also be dissolved by water when it is wetted. Use a brush to dab some water on the pattern, and drive the pen tip to smudge the strokes of the color lead. Open, it will produce a watercolor-like effect.
Everyone has to be right on their own. If you usually only use the tempering method, it is recommended to buy oil-based color pencils. There are actually a lot of high-quality color pencils, but it is recommended to use some cost-effective color pencils when getting started. Comfortable, in order to draw better works.
