In this course, he teaches the foundations of working in colored pencil, showcasing techniques like building color gradients, creating contrast through shadows and highlights, and even foolproof methods for transferring reference images for projects. After working through numerous exercises with Macedo’s guidance, you’ll be creating realistic colored pencil art in no time.
