Using Black Coloured Pencils | Tips For Artists

A lot of coloured pencil artists say not to use black pencils but I use them in a lot of my drawings and actually think they’re really important and key for drawing realistic black animals.
So in this video, I briefly explain a couple of different black pencils that I use regularly.

I love the Derwent drawing pencils. The different effects you can get depending onwhich colour you lay down first are just amazing. Love how you combined the polychromos black which is more transparent with the deliciously opaque Derwent Drawing Black.
