Do you like to draw? Do you doodle? Have you thought of taking art lessons but didn't want to spend a lot on materials? Colored pencils are the answer!
How I Doodle - Just A Doodle, If you are like me you have notebooks filled with doodles. I have often wondered if I should keep my doodles or just through them out. Thanks to the internet, blogs and social networking sites, your doodles can be shared with anybody. All it takes is a camera. Good! Now choose another colored pencil color to fill in the image(s). Now think of the surrounding area of the doodle as the background or environment for your images. Keep in mind that you want to emphasize the image. How can you do this?
Simple doodle - To take a good picture of your doodles you should switch to the Macro mode of your camera. This allows better quality pictures of close up things, like your sheet of paper. I also recommend turning off the flash. The flash can cause the picture to be way too bright. You can use a normal point and shoot camera or your camera phone. You must choose certain areas to fill in with various colors. For example, if you found, in your doodle, a shape that looks like a fish, color the fish in, than color the area surrounding the fish with various colors. It will change your ideas in drawing easy step by steps.
Doodle face - The next step is to upload the pictures to your computer. You can do this in a variety of ways depending on your camera or phone. It is a fun way to share and appreciate doodles from all over the world. So you've done the doodles and are beginning to learn what your colored pencils can do. If you didn't experiment with making certain areas solid colors or play around with shading several colors together, now is your chance!
Doodle art - They are soft and submissive. Among their beautiful colors are vibrant blues, sunny yellows, rich greens, glowing purples and juicy oranges. They come in pretty tins, sporty nylon carrying cases and polished wooden boxes. They smell good. Their enameled bodies fit your fingers well and respond to the paper with a willingness that excites inspiration. These are good quality colored pencils--not your normal pencil in any way, shape or form. To grasp one, touch its point to paper is, well, a sensual, artful experience.
Doodle name - Maybe you've spent some time drawing--nothing much: caricatures, Disney characters, doodles, etc. Perhaps you've even gone so far as investing in a drawing pencil. If you did, you found out that a drawing pencil is quite different from a regular pencil. Its lead is soft and creates dark blacks, solid medium grays and ethereal light grays. Now you have sharpened your colored pencils and you have your sketchpad. What's next? Start with a doodle. On a new sketchbook page, and draw swirls, lines, dots, dashes, whatever comes to mind. Cover the whole sketch book page. Just take a minute to do it. It is like anime drawing and manga drawing. It needs a good patient in drawing it.
Maybe then you began to think of color, wishing your drawing pencil could be colorful as well. It can be! Out there on the market today are good quality colored pencils that respond well to shading, layering of several colors, blocking in solid colors and making sinuous, expressive lines. Now look closely at the doodle you have done. See what you can find. Trees? Birds? Faces? Whatever you find, delineate the image by going over the image lines by making them darker.
The added attraction of colored pencils, beyond their soft, heavily pigmented leads and willing response to the paper, is their price. A tin of twelve, good quality colored pencils and a good quality sketchpad will be well under twenty dollars. And you are on your way to producing beautiful, brilliant, rich colored drawings that will retain their permanency and color integrity for decades.
