Coloured Pencil Techniques

STIPPLING
1. Make tiny dots beside each other to fill
the space.
2. Place the dots close together on one
side of the box.
3. As you move to the other side of the box
gradually let the spaces between the dots
get bigger.

SCUMBLING
1. Make small, scribbly, circular marks
without lifting your pencil.
2. Build up layers of colour in part of the
box to change the value from light to dark.

HATCHING
1. Make separate, parallel lines to fill the
space.
2. Make some of the lines close together
and others farther apart to change the
value from light to dark.

CROSS-HATCHING
1. Make hatched lines going in one
direction.
2. Then make another set of hatched lines
going in a different direction on top of the
first set.
3. Keep adding new sets of hatched lines
to change the values.

IMPRESSED LINE

drawing paper.
2. Draw on it with a ball point pen.
3. Press hard to make indented lines on the
drawing paper under it.
4. Remove the paper.
5. Colour across the impressed lines on
the drawing paper.
