Why Use Colored Pencils?

Colored pencils offer several benefits for professional artists. Some of the many reasons why artists love using this medium are:

• They allow you to achieve precision with every stroke.
• With these pencils, both detail and depth can be drawn.
• It’s easy to achieve a light, soft look by pressing down lightly or a strong, bold look by pressing down harder.
• Their size is convenient and easy to transport.
• Colored pencils make it possible to create art nearly anywhere.

What Colored Pencils Are Best for Blending?

Soft colored pencils are the best for blending. Many artists prefer to use wax-based colored pencils because they are creamier and their texture results in easy blending. When blending colors, it is important to keep your pencils sharp and maintain a light pressure as you apply color to the paper or drawing surface.
