Gretchen Parker is the drafting film guru, and she'll show how easily you can use colored pencils to create these realistic peppers in vivid color! Is capturing translucency a mystery for you? Have you always wanted to try colored pencils on drafting film, or are you looking for your next drafting film project? In 30 detailed steps, veteran instructor Gretchen Parker will show you how to go from line drawing to finished artwork with ease. This lesson is done on .005 double-sided matte finish Grafix Drafting Film (GDF). It takes more pencil layers than Dura-lar. The double-side allows for creating interesting effects, colors appear vibrant, and pencil erases cleanly. Lift tiny details with waxed paper the same as using tape on paper. Work with the photo reference directly under the film or start from the line drawing. When framing experiment with different color backers to see which seems best for the work. No fixative is necessary; a quick buff with a tissue stops wax bloom. Using this popular, versatile, and forgiving matte surface, you'll learn how to use both front and back sides to create eye-popping color and shine, plus how to create that special plastic bag effect! Add a new surface to your colored pencil repertoire ...you might just fall in love with film. Draw... Frame... Bask in your talent!
