Artists: What's your (non-digital) medium of choice for drawings that include sharp lines, a wide variety of color saturations and values, and both flat and gradient colors for larger areas?

I've had the most luck so far with colored pencil when I need color. Graphite pencil is better when I need precision or value variety.

A photo of an open  black paper sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by a paint brush, paint tubs, coloured pencils, branches, leaves, flowers, and crystals. The sketchbook page features a painting of a tree with blue foliage, almost glowing teal at the rim. The trunk is separated in two at the basem forming a rounded hollow in which a few small glowing blue mushrooms shelter. The trunk refuses towards the top. At the base of the tree lush greenery surround the roots.

Colored pencil sketch playing with color on toned paper! This medium requires a lot of patience and tons of layers of colors. Was a challenge to make the colors pop with the toned grey paper, I was going for a luminous look!

Colored pencil drawing of a redheaded woman looking at the viewer and facing to the left. She has a vibrant red bob and is wearing a dark green collared shirt. The date 9/7/25 is written on the left of the drawing.

I finally declared my Lempicka study finished.

Y'all. I am so happy!

This took me over a year - not just the hours of work but bc I'd get scared I'd ruin it so I'd leave it untouched for months.

“Eldritch Spirits”
Painting nr.3 for the challenge I host over on ig.

#TraditionalArt #MixedMedia #Gouache #ColoredPencil #DarkArt #FolkHorror

A photo of a portrait-format painting placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by a paint brush, coloured pencils, part of a sketchbook, hag stones, and conifer branches. The painting features the silhouette of an enormous shadowy creature with thin curved horns and abnormally long arms rising out of the mist in a grassy valley bordered by conifers. A few rocks overgrown with moss and lichen are visible in the foreground.
