When colouring with pencils, how should you build up tone?

  1. Heavy pressure from the start
  2. Scribble, then rub it smooth
  3. Light layers, darker where needed
Show the answer

Light layers, darker where needed

Start light and build up layers: colour is easy to add but hard to remove. Keep strokes in one direction for an even, smooth finish.
