Colored Pencil Tutorials

Colored Pencils offer a lot of control for the new artist. The ability to erase, redraw, and erase again is one of the big advantages of colored  pencils over fine arts such as watercolors. Colored pencil projects can also be put down for long periods and then  restarted with no loss of quality of work. All in all, colored pencils are a very flexible medium to work with.

In case you have no training in using color pencils, here are some color pencil tutorials to get you started.
