This combination of drawing media works extremely well together. The markers act as an underpainting, allowing us to cover broader areas in a shorter period of time. The colored pencils allow us to develop details and strong contrast.

In fact, the surface plays an important role in any drawing that you create. The surface we&#8217;ll use is marker paper by Canson. This surface is designed to accept marker applications while minimizing bleeding. Even though this surface is very smooth, it&#8217;s still suitable for accepting a few layers of colored pencil applications over the top.   <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/marker-paper.jpg\" alt=\"Marker paper\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/marker-paper.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/marker-paper-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/marker-paper-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/marker-paper-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/all-about-drawing-papers-and-surfaces\">All About Drawing Papers<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll first develop an underpainting using alcohol-based markers. The alcohol-based markers we&#8217;ll use are by Prismacolor. There is a broad spectrum of markers available and you are welcome to substitute any brand that you wish. However, it&#8217;s important to work with alcohol-based markers since water-based markers will not behave in the same manner. <\/p>\n<p>Alcohol-based markers are easily layered and are semi-transparent when applied. This characteristic allows us to gradually build up intensity in the color and gives us greater control over the values.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Markers.jpg\" alt=\"Alcohol-based markers by Prismacolor\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Markers.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Markers-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Markers-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Markers-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll use wax-based Prismacolor Premier colored pencils to enhance the colors and develop the details.

Here&#8217;s a look at the photo reference that is used. You don&#8217;t have to work from this image. Instead, you can use what you learn from this lesson and apply it to your own drawing.    <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sports-car-photo-reference.jpg\" alt=\"Sports Car Photo Reference\" width=\"800\" height=\"413\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sports-car-photo-reference.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sports-car-photo-reference-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sports-car-photo-reference-768x396.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sports-car-photo-reference-500x258.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Pencil Sketch &#8211; Transfer or Use a Light Board<\/h2>\n<p>With a drawing like this, accuracy is very important. For this reason, we&#8217;ll begin with a light board transfer. Marker paper is somewhat transparent making it an excellent surface for use with a light board. However, if a light board is not available, you may use a graphite transfer or the grid technique to ensure accuracy in your sketch.<\/p>\n<p>A light H graphite pencil is used to create the transfer. The addition of values (or shading) is avoided. A very light touch is used in order to avoid indentations in the paper and to minimize the amount of graphite on the surface. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pencil-sketch-of-sports-car.jpg\" alt=\"Pencil sketch of the sports car\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pencil-sketch-of-sports-car.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pencil-sketch-of-sports-car-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pencil-sketch-of-sports-car-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pencil-sketch-of-sports-car-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/> <\/p>\n<h2>Marker Applications<\/h2>\n<p>Markers are great for covering larger areas in a drawing. They are quick but it&#8217;s difficult to develop details. For this reason, we&#8217;ll use the markers as an underpainting. Over the top, we&#8217;ll layer colored pencils to increase contrast, broaden the range of value, and develop the details.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll begin with our first marker applications on the body of the car. A bit of Poppy Red, Blush Pink, and Crimson Red is applied. Poppy Red is used for the bulk of the body of the car, while Blush Pink is used as a transition color near the highlights. Crimson Red is applied in the darkest areas of shadow.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to be mindful of the highlights. Leave open spaces for them since it is difficult to make these areas lighter later in the process.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/marker-applications-on-car.jpg\" alt=\"First marker applications on the body of the car\" width=\"800\" height=\"421\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/marker-applications-on-car.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/marker-applications-on-car-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/marker-applications-on-car-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/marker-applications-on-car-500x263.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/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.

Warm grays are used mainly behind the seat, on the windshield, and the larger shadow under the car. Cooler grays are applied in the areas of darkest shadow right underneath the body and on the tires. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good idea to start with lighter grays and progressively layer darker versions.

We&#8217;ll begin on the left side of the drawing and progressively work our way to the left and downward. <\/p>\n<p>One of the advantages to working with the same brand of colored pencils and markers is that the same colors are found in both marker and pencil form.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll begin on the body with Poppy Red, intensifying the highlights with white. In the darker areas, we&#8217;ll use Scarlet Lake. A dark warm gray is applied around the headlight. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/first-layer-of-colored-pencils.jpg\" alt=\"First applications of colored pencils\" width=\"800\" height=\"483\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/first-layer-of-colored-pencils.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/first-layer-of-colored-pencils-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/first-layer-of-colored-pencils-768x464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/first-layer-of-colored-pencils-497x300.jpg 497w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll continue working our way down the body of the car, alternating between Poppy Red, white, and Scarlet Lake.

To create a more natural &#8220;black&#8221;, we&#8217;ll layer Dark Umber and Indigo Blue. This combination of colors gives us control over the temperature of the black that we create. For a cooler black, we can allow the Indigo Blue to dominate. For a warmer black, we can allow the Dark Umber to dominate.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, we want the tires and the darkest shadows around them to have a cooler appearance. To achieve this, we&#8217;ll apply the Dark Umber first followed by the Indigo Blue.<\/p>\n<p>We can then enhance the highlights on the tires with a light warm gray.   <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/adding-color-to-the-tires.jpg\" alt=\"Adding color to the tires\" width=\"800\" height=\"385\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/adding-color-to-the-tires.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/adding-color-to-the-tires-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/adding-color-to-the-tires-768x370.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/adding-color-to-the-tires-500x241.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll continue with this approach underneath the car where we see the strongest area of cast shadow.

The addition of these highlights helps to create the illusion of a reflective surface that is shiny.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/adding-highlights-with-gouache.jpg\" alt=\"Adding highlights with gouache over colored pencil applications\" width=\"800\" height=\"392\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/adding-highlights-with-gouache.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/adding-highlights-with-gouache-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/adding-highlights-with-gouache-768x376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/adding-highlights-with-gouache-500x245.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the highlights have been enhanced, we can use a kneaded eraser to clean up any stray marks and carefully brush away any remaining fragments of colored pencil.

Accuracy, of course, is extremely important. To ensure accuracy, use a transfer technique or a grid to get the contours in place.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to work on a surface that is suitable for this particular combination of media. This will make a big difference in the finished appearance.  <\/p>\n<p>Be patient as you add each layer of color with the markers and colored pencils. Your patience will pay off. Use a variety of different versions of the same color to gradually build up the intensity and the value range within the drawing.            <\/p>\n<p>Tackle subjects that challenge you and push your limits. Doing so will make you a better artist.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding:0% 4% 0% 4%;clear:both;\">\n<div class=\"promoinsert\">\n<div class=\"promoimagenews\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"promotext\"><span>Like This Lesson?<\/span><br \/>If so, join over 36,000 others that receive our newsletter with new drawing and painting lessons.
