Considering the age of the art world,
colored pencils are fairly new. Encased in wood, these pigments are
used in various ways. Most commonly, an initial layer is drawn on the
surface and then a final layer is added on top to create the proper
shadings and look to the image. Different techniques used include hatching,
cross-hatching, scumbling, directional marking, incised marks, and
burnishing. Below are a few examples of drawings produced from colored
pencils.
