Hi,
Since the new year I have been attempting to sketch birds from photos I have taken and recently I have tried to use colour in the form of pastel pencils. ("Pitt" series from Faber Castell) either to add a touch of colour or complete colour sketches
I realise I can't use blacklead pencils to draw outlines when doing a colour sketch, which makes it more tricky, but can I still use, say a B4 to shade over colour to incorporate shadow? Up till this year I have had no experience in any form of sketching birds, or indeed anything. Any pointers would be great.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, Mods please move if that's the case
