Tutorial: Fan Art from League of Legends, Mecha Kha'zix

To start off this drawing is a copy of a original image, and it is a fairly accurate replication. What's important about this drawing is the sharpness of the outline. To create this you're going to have to spend a majority of your time perfecting the outline of what you're drawing. A good technique when copying something is to have it close to you where you can constantly keep referring to it, basically every time you draw a line on your own paper, you double check how that line looks on the original image.This way you can be more precise as you create your outline. Keep in mind the outline in this image is kept fairly thin, so it's ideal to keep the lines very light to start off so you can easily erase them if you mess up.

Shading with coloured pencils is fairly difficult to master, since the way you layer the shading can be made up of several colours and not just one. For example, on the majority of the blue armour on the drawing above, it is done through having a starting layer of light blue, then he switches pencils to a darker blue to add another layer, then black is also added if the shading is not dark enough. It's important to start with the lightest colour first, then you can add a variety of darker shades of that colour to create shading. Also I wouldn't use black pencil unless you can't find the darkest shade of the colour you want to create, since black is very overpowering.

Feel free to post your outcome in the comment section below, have fun!
