Lesson 3
How to Make a Full Color Drawing
When choosing a place to begin a drawing, start with the main object, like the horse. Once the object is drawn on the page in the right place, draw what is around that object. When adding color, work on the object and then skip to the colors in the background to see how the colors look when sitting next to each other. Go back and forth from object to background.
Begin full color drawings by placing outlines within the space of the page. Change lines as needed by erasing and redrawing. Notice that the lines are not all the same thickness or value. Shaded areas have darker lines. Place colors in certain areas, without bringing them to a finished point. The horse is not finished before putting in the green trees or blue sky. Small areas are colored all over the picture. Continue to work this way until the space has as much color as desired. SOMETHING TO TRY: Make a full color drawing as explained above. Vary the lines. Color the entire picture space before finishing any one area so that you can see color relationships.
