    Solid Techniques to Develop Impressive Colored Pencil Drawings
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2008*

I was immediately struck that the author uses Prismacolor Professional Colored Pencils, my own brand of choice.  This made it easy to practice her techniques using the same colors as stated by each image. I learned the best way to layer color - basic tonal layering, heavy pressure layering, two layer approach, spot layering (basic, bold, blended), plus doing the single layer approach.  Other techniques covered are the lifting of color, covering large areas, using various colored paper for special effects and so much more that it would take another paragraph to fully describe the multitude of methods the author covers in this book. This book has steered me on the path to produce interesting works of art with colored pencils, where before I managed to use my college art classes to some degree, but not in the quality I really wanted to see my work develop.  This is a good book for beginners and intermediates, maybe even good review/reference for the advanced artist.  I am so pleased with this book over other colored pencil technique books that I am sure that the others will get dusty from lack of use, while this one will become a true tool to help me with my future artistic endeavors.

    WOW, I can't put it down
  

*by L***J on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2012*

I'm just starting to work in colored pencil.  I was basically drawn to this book by the beautiful artwork included.  I love the author's work and wish I owned one of her pieces.  I've been ordering a LOT of new art instruction books.  When I receive them I always skim thru them until I have time to sit down with them and try out the exercises.  But with this one I find I just want to sit down now and read it cover to cover.  Each time I pause I learn something.  The author presents tons of useful information in a very easy to follow manner.  I'm thrilled to have this as part of my new library of books.  I actually went to the author's website to see if I could purchase a print of one of her pieces.  No luck, but I did discover that she offers online tutorials.  I may end of doing one or those as her books are amazing!

    Lovely and informative: a very helpful resource book
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2008*

I read the reviews on all the colored pencil technique books on Amazon and chose this one. I taught myself watercolor and had been doing some colored pencil illustrations, but needed some help! This book shows all the tricks and tips I could ever need and the steps are usually broken up into understandable stages of a drawing - but not always. I would have liked to see more of the tools at work in the instructional photos. Sometimes just "use an eraser for this effect" doesn't make sense without the eraser right there, doing it. I am actually creating my art using Corel Paint with the colored pencils and this book is a terrific help!
