draw a lizard in colour pencil, try out black drawing paper!

Good morning everyone, I created another colour pencil drawing tutorial for you!






I also created a template sheet that you can use to draw the sketch with. You can download it underneath.

The reference photo I used is this one:




Drawing on black paper is a lot of fun and it brings it's own new challenges. Instead of adding darker colours to white paper we work the other way around and we add the highlights to the dark paper.

As a lot of beginner artists do not make their darks dark enough it can be a great way of adding some extra contrast in your drawing and that can be a great lesson in your art journey!


I hope you enjoy it! let me know if you tried it!
