Most of us have dabbled with colored pencils as youngsters, but they are far more versatile and sophisticated than you might think. Join Brooklyn-based illustrator and graphic designer Sasha Prood as she teaches the extensive range of one of her favorite mediums. Using colored pencil, you’ll explore the range between bright, bold designs, to soft, transparent imagery. Layer colors like you would with watercolor and define edges like you would with a marker. Sasha walks you through the ins and outs of graphite, colored pencils, and watercolor pencils. Day by day, you'll alternate between learning a new pencil technique in a practice swatch and then drawing a small composition using that technique, steadily building your skills from making marks like hatching and stippling to layering colors and creating gradients. This is your chance to play, experiment, and push pencils to the next level.
