In this video, I'm breaking down the simple, repeatable process I use for every coloured pencil drawing, from start to finish. This isn't about drawing one specific subject - it's about learning a method you can apply to ANY drawing.
This is the same process I use in all of my realistic coloured pencil tutorials, and once you understand it, coloured pencils become much easier and very enjoyable to work with. If you're a beginner, or you've been drawing for a while but feel like something isn't clicking, I hope this video helps you approach your next piece with a clear plan and more confidence.
