These professional pencils are rich in pigmentation and are designed for layered applications. They are pricey when compared to lesser brands, but the difference in quality is clear when they are applied.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/polychromos-colored-pencils.jpg\" alt=\"Polychromos colored pencils\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/polychromos-colored-pencils.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/polychromos-colored-pencils-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/polychromos-colored-pencils-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/polychromos-colored-pencils-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oil-based colored pencils differ from wax-based colored pencils in the binder that is used. Oil-based colored pencils have an oil-based binder (which holds the pigment together), while wax-based colored pencils feature a wax-based binder. Most colored pencils on the market are wax-based.<\/p>\n<p>Because the binder is oil-based, these pencils behave in a slightly different manner than their wax-based counterparts. <\/p>\n<p><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/oil-based-vs-wax-based-colored-pencils\">Wax-based Colored Pencils vs. Oil-based Colored Pencils<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The surface we&#8217;ll use is smooth Bristol paper by Strathmore. I love this particular surface and use it for a variety of media including pen and ink, graphite, and colored pencils.<\/p>\n<p>The tooth (or texture) of this artist&#8217;s quality paper is very smooth. This is both and advantage and a disadvantage.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage of this paper is the control that you have when applying colored pencils. Since the texture is less pronounced, you aren&#8217;t fighting against it to create intricate details. The pencil marks are smooth and well-controlled.<\/p>\n<p>The drawback is the lack of tooth. More tooth on the paper means more layers of colored pencils can be applied. Layering colored pencils builds depth in color, which results in more natural, realistic imagery.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>More on drawing papers&#8230;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/all-about-drawing-papers-and-surfaces\">All About Drawing Papers<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the specific materials used to create the art.

A hard graphite pencil, such as an &#8220;H&#8221; or &#8220;2H&#8221; will do. Try to avoid using anything harder than &#8220;2H&#8221; as it may create unwanted indentations in the surface of the paper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/Artists-pencils-graphite-pencils-explained.html\">Artist&#8217;s Graphite Pencils Explained<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Avoid using a softer pencil, such as a &#8220;2B&#8221; or darker. Darker pencils may leave too much graphite on the surface which may result in muted colors and bits of gray showing through the colored pencil applications.<\/p>\n<p>The image that follows has been darkened to allow you to see the sketch a little easier. Your sketch should be as light as possible.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sketch-doughnut.jpg\" alt=\"Doughnut sketch with pencil\" width=\"800\" height=\"623\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sketch-doughnut.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sketch-doughnut-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sketch-doughnut-768x598.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sketch-doughnut-385x300.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Adding Colors to the Doughnut<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ll begin with colored pencil applications on the doughy part of the doughnut. We&#8217;ll layer a few colors to build up depth. <\/p>\n<p>The first color that we&#8217;ll layer is Raw Umber. This color is carefully applied using a circular stroking pattern. This is followed by Cream, Terra Cotta, and Van Dyke Brown. The Cream applications are made primarily in the areas of lighter tone, while the Van Dyke Brown is applied mainly in the areas of darker tone.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coloring-the-dough.jpg\" alt=\"Coloring the dough on the doughnut\" width=\"800\" height=\"642\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coloring-the-dough.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coloring-the-dough-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coloring-the-dough-768x616.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coloring-the-dough-374x300.jpg 374w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Wax-based pencils can be burnished using a colorless blender while oil-based pencils are less receptive to a colorless blender. For this reason, we&#8217;ll blend the applications using a solvent. The solvent used in this drawing is Turpenoid Natural.<\/p>\n<p>Using a soft brush, just a touch of Turpenoid is applied to the applications. This dissolves the color slightly, resulting in a smoother, more even distribution of color.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding:0% 4% 0% 4%;\">\n<div class=\"promoinsert\">\n<div class=\"promoimage\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"promotext\"><span>The Colored Pencil Course<\/span><br \/>\n    Learn how to use colored pencils like a pro.

Remember, each candy sprinkle is a small form, meaning that is has highlight, mid tone, and shadow. Be sure to keep your shadows and highlights consistent for each sprinkle that you draw.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/drawing-candies.jpg\" alt=\"Drawing sprinkles on the doughnut\" width=\"800\" height=\"633\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/drawing-candies.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/drawing-candies-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/drawing-candies-768x608.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/drawing-candies-379x300.jpg 379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the sprinkles in place, we&#8217;re now ready to address the bite mark in the doughnut.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"featuredimage\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/members\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/artinstructionanyonecanunderstand2020.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"contentfix\">\n<p>We&#8217;ll begin by coloring in the entire shape of the bite mark with an application of Cream. This is followed with Raw Umber, drawing in textural marks to mimic the flakey dough. Strokes are mostly horizontal on the right side of the shape and are more circular on the left side. Be sure to leave bits of the Cream showing through &#8211; it&#8217;s the contrast that leads to the illusion of texture in a drawing.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll then darken the shadows in this area with a bit of Van Dyke Brown.
