This week, I focused more on using color to portray my objects. I did a glass bird and a glass with orange juice with hard colored pencil. Unfortunately, the pastel pencil order got canceled, so I couldn’t use blend-able pastel colors. Any advice are welcome!<\/p>\n

For my self-reflection, I found that coloring with colored pencil was not as hard as I had thought, though I have never used colored pencils much. Drawing approximate ‘areas’ that divide the different colors before adding in the colors helps me with mastering the general look of the objects. The gradient effect and shades could be made with layering colors on top of each other (just like mixing colors in oil painting). It took me a little while to get used to blending colors in this manner. However, though layering dark colors over light colors was not difficult, it was a different story for doing the reverse. It was impossible when I was trying to add white highlights to the bird and the glass, so I did the highlights in eraser instead. I would like to add more touches of pastel pencil onto the colored pencil drawing to make better blends in the colors for next week. (If my pastel pencils arrive!)<\/p>\n
