With this tutorial I want to focus on creating the shading using coloured pencils. Here you can clearly see how the shading is created as all the different lines are noticeable. Firstly figure out where you are going to leave the white spaces to help define the lighting, as you cannot erase coloured pencils very well. Now Anna, the character that is drawn above is known for her large blue eyes and braided hair, so focus on recreating those if you are drawing Anna. To create a rough outline just use any lead pencil but preferably a light one, then only create a very soft outline since if you apply to much pressure it can be visible through the colour.
Once you have created the outline, you want to start using the lightest shade of the colour as a base for the obejct that you're drawing. Basically you always want to start light first, then go dark after. For example if you're colouring the skin you want to start by using a light pink-ish white. Then when you want to define the shading you get a darker shade of the same colour, and then you start layering on top of the light base colour you did earlier. You can also add other colours apart from a darker shade of the same colour, as shown by the red cheeks, the artist layered in red as well as brown to create them. I suggest never using black unless you have to, since it is a very strong colour and may ruin your drawing if not added correctly.
Feel free to post your outcome in the comment section below, have fun!
