No matter what anyone may tell you, drawing is a very learnable skill, no different than reading, writing, or riding a bike. It’s simply a question of having someone show you what to do and then practicing so you improve.
In today’s lesson we’re going to start with the most basic drawing skill that EVERY artist needs to learn. All you’ll need for this tutorial are some pieces of paper and a pencil, no other fancy supplies. Inexpensive computer printer paper and a plain old number two pencil will do just fine.

Almost all colored pencil instructional books cover topics like varying pressure, burnishing, blending, edging, lifting, and etc.
These techniques are great for learning how to “paint†with the medium. . . but coming up with super-realistic colored pencil drawings takes a different skill.
For realistic drawings, you should first be able to make a detailed contour outline.
