Derwent Inktense Tutorial | How to Mix Colors | Leila Duly's Beautiful Planet
Learn how to mix Derwent Inktense pencils like a pro – even if you're just starting out! In this beginner-friendly tutorial, I share simple color mixing tips to create nuanced, lifelike shades that give your coloring a beautiful, realistic feel. Instead of single colors, you'll see how mixing just two or three pencils can add natural variances between each petal and leaf for a more interesting and realistic result.
We also explore basic underpainting (nothing complicated!) and how it can instantly enhance your page. As a bonus, I show you how to layer Polychromos colored pencils over the top of Inktense for extra depth and detail.
