Draw Tip Tuesdays - Draw Tip Tuesday: Hatching With Colour Pencils

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday. Today we are using black pen - it can be a fine liner or a rollerball like this one, and combine it with colour pencils. I choose to draw a pair of colorful shoes today - these are my blue suede shoes, and yes they were stepped on more than once! I put the shoes in front of me on the table, close one eye to filter out depth, and draw the outlines of the shapes. There aren’t too many distracting details, so I can focus on proportions when I draw the rims and the insides of the shoes. To add colour, I use color pencils. The past weeks have all been about the hatching technique here on Draw Tip Tuesday, so that’s what I will be doing today as well: I will hatch with my colour pencils, and curve my lines along with the shape, to emphasize the shapes. I hatch several layers, and on places where I want some more colour, I add a soft layer. The inside of my shoes are colorful too, and I use the same technique, following te curves of the shapes, and also making sure to leave plenty of white to indicate light and dark. Result is a playful drawing of a pair of favorite shoes! Why don’t you pick a colorful subject today and try this? By choosing simple every-day items, you can make awesome art!
