What is colored lead drawing ?
Color-leaved painting is a painting form between sketch and color. Its uniqueness lies in its rich and delicate colors, which can show a lighter and transparent texture. This is something that other tools and materials cannot achieve. Only works that fully utilize the uniqueness of colored lead can be considered a true colored lead painting.

Drawing skills for colored lead painting
Colored lead coloring means being patient and drawing that delicate feeling. First, you have to sharpen the pen, and then layer by layer, the different colors of colored lead will form another color. If you have the foundation of gouache painting, then just draw more and you can find the feeling. Remember to draw colored lead, and you cannot apply hard. If you want to draw layers and where the colors are heavy, you can pay attention to the effect of using several colors together, such as: if you draw black hair, don’t just use black colored lead to apply. When applied to the end, it will be flat, without three-dimensional, and it feels very dead. If the shadows on the drawing plate are very dark, don’t apply black. You can try to superimpose the colors of purple and red. If you are using water-soluble colored lead, first use colored lead, then use brush and apply it in water, and the color will be rendered. Anyway, don’t be afraid of painting badly. Try to match different colors to create a feeling. Painting layer by layer, don’t paint with one color.
color lead painting color matching and application of
color lead painting color is what we need to pay attention to most. The quality of the color directly determines the fate of this painting. This is also the hardest thing for novices, because colored lead is difficult to wipe off perfectly. Once the color remains on the screen, it cannot be completely wiped clean, and it is easy to get dirty when covered with the color. So I think the key point is here.
In order to prevent the screen from getting dirty, please do not modify the color after deciding at one time. Even if you want to modify it, you can cover it with a color with a color tone temperature that is almost the same. For example, pink can be covered with red, and yellow can be covered with brown. However, after using the dark color to cover the originally intended color, you will feel that the color is out of tune, so please be careful to color.
The primary color matching secrets you must know:
1. Three primary colors: red, yellow, blue
2. Complementary colors: red + green, yellow + purple, orange + blue
3. Composite colors: red + yellow, red + blue, yellow + blue, orange + green, green + purple
The coloring order of color lead is generally from light to deep. You can leave blank for some inaccurate grasp of some areas, and then color it after thinking about it. When painting, please apply the color evenly whether it is the line or the flat line. If it needs to be darkened, then consider stacking the same color.When applying color, if the color is outside the outline (non-shaded part), you can do not rush to wipe it, which will have a better effect on the picture. When darker, the force should be controlled well. The side close to the shading area, the shadow close to the light source is gradually changed from inside to outside from dark to light. If a light color is painted in advance, then use a light force to gradually change to the appropriate color. Next, when painting, you need to understand the contour relationship between the characters. For example, when coloring your wrist, you can use cross line to color it according to the curvature of your wrist. For example, hair can gradually change the color from the edge of your hair according to the curvature.
