How to Shade With Prismacolor Pencils
Intro: How to Shade With Prismacolor Pencils
STEP 1: Shading: Draw a Circle
First draw a circle, we will be transforming this to a 3 Dimensional sphere. You can free draw a circle or use a template.
P.S. you don't have to use a circle template, you can use cups, cookie cutters, glue caps etc. Use your imagination!
I decided to Free draw it but if it looks a little off, don't worry! Next if you want to line it, you can. I like to ink it with a ultra thin sharpie or pen for practice.
If you don't ink it, skip this part.
If you inked your circle, erase your pencil/ sketch lines. MAKE SURE YOU LET INK DRY BEFORE ERASING!!
*DISCLAIMER* Look at finished product with inking before you outline shape! You may not like/ enjoy the outlines look :)
STEP 2: Shading: Initial Color
STEP 3: Shading: Darker Color
STEP 4: Shading: Shadow
STEP 5: Finished!
Lastly you can top it of my using small circular movements with the color "white" to really blend in the colors together. Be careful because it may lighten up your colors!Now you can keep on practicing! Now that I've finished it, I realize that I shouldn't have inked it. I will make sure to put a disclaimer! If you like the ball with a outline go ahead, but in my opinion, I wasn't that much fond of it. I hope that you understood me and enjoyed this little lesson, it was my first Instructable so I hope you guys like it!

Great job! Thank you for the useful tips. I like to use PC 996 Black Grape for shading. It looks great with any color.
