Drawing a Monochromatic Portrait in Coloured Pencil

I love working with colour, as a coloured pencil artist, but sometimes it's nice to do a monochromatic piece as it really helps with your values!
In this video, I share some tips and techniques for how to draw this monochromatic portrait, which also happens to be my latest tutorial available in the Ignite Membership.

Great video Bonny!! :D

Fantastic drawing 👍 I'm pleased to hear I'm not the only one who gets bits of debris off my colour pencils! I'd never heard anyone else talking about this before . It's near impossible to remove it once it's there. It seems to happen at least once on every drawing I do

Die Zeichnung gefällt mir sehr gut 😊

Are you preferring single pencil strokes to circles or have you found the ( possible ) need for both? Wonderful as always! 💖

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

I’ve found the single pencil strokes on this to work better

I love this. How did you keep making the line art disappear, Bonny?

the outline is placed beneath the film, and a separate piece of paper can be place between the outline and the drafting film, to hide the outline
