Colored Pencil Step by Step: Explore a range of styles and techniques for creating your own works of art in colored pencils (Artist's Library) Paperback – January 1, 2003

This is a good book for teaching drawing techniques.

I’m recently retired, and I want to try all kinds of art...art...art! This is my introduction to colored pencil drawing, and it is a real eye-opener! I had no idea that you couldn’t just push harder to get darker and to shade...or just add yellow to blue to get the green you want. This is a little book, and it doesn’t have hundreds of lessons; but, for me, it was a nice introduction. It suited my goal.

Begin with a simple handful of pencils, then find a hobby or arts store, and on to your ability. In the art store when you bought the book, ask the staff... They like to talk, and to show you books that you'd like.

This book is excellent. I have been giving them as gifts to others.

I ordered a new book. I received a book that's used. The pages are bent and the binding is crease where it was used. The book it's self has a thin grass coating on the front and back cover

I am somewhat new to colored pencil art and the beautiful, creative artwork that I've seen using this medium.I had no idea that is the medium of choice for so many talented artist.I want to learn how to be creative in the art of using colored pencils. This book gives simple explanationsof the several terms and definitive techniques central to the beginner. It gives great points on materials the newcomer will need. These items are quite inexpensive as compared to materials needed for painting, photography, etc.I'm just playing around with the things shown in the book and having a good time from the start!

I have loved graphic arts for most of my 65 years. I copied Dr. Seuss drawings on tracing paper as a child. I buy books like this to look for techniques and tricks I may have not seen before. I didn't really see anything new here, but I did see a very well organized, very DENSE tutorial covering miles of color theory and application, starting with the most basic basics. Modern colored pencils provide the artist with the ability to approach the effects of oil or watercolor. This book is one of my favorites< and I recommend highly to anyone wanting to explore colored pencil art.

I'm still learning from it
