In this beginner guide, I explain the core materials and techniques you need to start drawing confidently with colored pencils, using only a simple 12 pencil set. I begin by covering the key materials I use for colored pencil drawing, including pencils and paper, and why keeping things simple is especially important when you’re learning. From there, I explain the core techniques that make the biggest difference, particularly how to build up color lightly and smoothly in layers. To show how this works in practice, I talk through the full drawing process by creating a colored pencil drawing of pencils themselves. This demonstrates how much you can achieve with a limited color range, without needing a large or expensive set. This video is designed to be reassuring and accessible for beginners, especially if you feel overwhelmed by materials or unsure where to start with colored pencils.
