Mastering Shading Techniques with Coloured Pencils
If you're looking to bring more depth and dimension to your artwork, mastering the art of shading with coloured pencils is a must. Shading can turn a simple drawing into a realistic masterpiece and is a technique that can be used by artists of all levels. One technique to try is layering, where you build up multiple layers of colour to create depth and texture. Also, consider the pressure you're applying to the pencil - a softer touch can create a lighter shade, while a harder pressure results in a darker hue. Using a cross-hatching technique, where you create shading through intersecting lines, can also add an interesting texture to your work. Lastly, experimenting with different types of pencils can yield different results, so don't be afraid to try a variety of brands and styles from The Sydney Art Store's extensive collection.

Different projects require specific features in coloured pencils, making selection a key step in the creative process. For fine art pieces, artist-grade pencils with high pigmentation and lightfastness are essential for achieving professional results. Casual sketches or studies may benefit from budget-friendly pencils that still offer smooth application. Watercolour effects can be achieved with water-soluble pencils, while traditional wax-based pencils are perfect for blending and layering. Oil-based pencils provide exceptional control for detailed work and are favored for their durability. Evaluating your project’s requirements, including the desired finish and surface type, will help you choose the most suitable coloured pencils, ensuring optimal performance and beautiful results.
