Drawing with Color

Saturday February 4, 2006
Drawing doesn't have to be just black and white. The purists might argue about whether pastels are painting or drawing (personally, I think they are either, or both - it depends on how you use them) - and lets face it, drawing and painting are pretty interdependant arts.
Colored Pencil is a great way to get started - a small set is quite affordable. Do make sure you get the best you can afford, as cheap ones can be scratchy and hard - very frustrating to use. Start off trying some colored pencil basics. You might like to try drawing a flower in colored pencil or pastel
