Many colored pencil kits for learning skills have a drawing in Grizaye (gray scale already printed). It’s a great way to learn how to get the most of your colored pencil. I’m trying my own Grizaye (gre si) before adding color pencil.
Missed lesson 5 and just caught up. Loved your inspirational talk on talent and desire. It was exactly what I need to hear today! I have been doubting this gouache cow I am working on but I am going to keep going and I can do it! So glad you are feeling better.
Hi Matt, I missed the live lesson last night. When are the replays generally available?
Photoshop, since I just tried to get it, is now $20.99 a month.
Paint.Net does the same thing as photoshop
Is there any way I can download a lesson, so when I’m away in my RV van I can watch without the internet?
Is there a reason why the whole car contour is not done first rather than focusing on a specific part of the car?
Hi Sean,
I’m trying to understand your question. The contours are the outlines. These lines are drawn before applying color and value with graphite.
