Coloured Pencil Series: Class 2 - Polychromos and mixed media

Always wanted to learn how to use coloured pencils? Confused with all the different types of coloured pencils out there? Then start this wonderful journey into the world of coloured pencils in my new series for beginners!

This is the second class of the series which will utilise the techniques we learned in class 1 (click here to watch class 1 if you haven’t already!).

In this class, we will look at how Polychromos coloured pencils interact with:

• Graphite
• Carbon
• Ink
• Alcohol marker
• and watercolours!

You will learn simple techniques on how to apply polychromos pencils to the above mediums and produce small illustrations that you can apply these techniques to.

You will be able to apply and practice the techniques demonstrated on your own complete piece of artwork.

This class will give you the structured direction and make the process easy for you to quickly get started using Polychromos pencils.

This class and series is aimed at beginners with no prior knowledge required of coloured pencils – however it is very important that you go through the basic techniques outlined in class 1 if you are a complete beginner to coloured pencils.

All materials used and demonstrated will be explained and links will be provided in the resource sheet to enable easy access.

My name is Imran Mughal, and I’m a graphic designer, illustrator and artist and have worked with coloured pencils for many years. I want to make this process as simple and easy for anyone wanting to start in the world of coloured pencils.

You can get in touch with me on my social media channels and can ask me any question you like on this class and series.

So sit back, relax, and lets get started!
