How to Elevate Your Coloured Pencil Drawings with Value | Raven Drawing Tutorial

It’s all about the values, with these 5 easy steps.
An in depth tutorial where I show you how to use values to create art that wows with depth and shadows deep in darks and white highlights as I draw a low and high value raven.
From choosing and fixing poor images, finding your light source, understanding value scales, applying level of values and a fun squint and flip technique at the end.

Great tutorial! Thank you, Jeannette. I found it very helpful watching how you approached each tonal layer while explaining your process. I initially thought you had used black paper for the second drawing, and when I saw you added the deep tones of the background (and within the raven, of course) that in itself was such an 'aha' moment. Just discovered your channel and loving it. Of course, I subscribed 🙂
One question, you had the colour and pressure in the top left corner, but I'm not sure what the numbers meant and if you ever go beyond 2. You also had a letter 'B' at one point and unsure what that meant as well. If you have another tutorial that talks about all this, could you point me to it? Thank you! Delighted to have discovered you and your work!

Hi and thanks for the comment. As for pressure, I have a video here czcams.com/video/qyiLzLFrWLU/video.html that does show a pressure list. Basically it’s 1-4 1 is a whisper, 2 writing pressure, 3 heavier and 4 lots of pressure. Yes I do go beyond 2, but in this drawing because I used a blending marker it didn’t have to. The B stands for blending - pencil, marker or solvent. You can also download the pressure guide I have at this link on my website, look for the mouse template the pressure guide is located right under the outline of the mouse. Cheers and thanks for watching and commenting. www.jeannettesirois.com/about-4
