Question How to get better saturation with coloured pencils?

1.4k Upvotes

I’m following the tutorials in a book called Super Realism, and I think my drawings are coming out pretty well, but I can’t get the depth of colour they do in the book (see second photo for a comparison of the avocado).

Is it my pencils or paper, do I need to press harder or is it something else? I’ve done a lot of layers with medium pressure and it doesn’t seem to help much, but then pressing hard, like I’ve started doing on the dark part of the chocolate chip cookie top left, just makes a solid waxy layer so I don’t want to keep doing that and mess it up!

I’m using Castle Arts Premium Soft Touch coloured pencils, if anyone has any experience with those.

I’ve consistently practicing the human figure recently. Are there any areas in which are in need of improvement (specifically for proportion)?

Also, feel free to suggest any techniques or tips that you think would be helpful.

Thank you :)

Question Is there anything I need to work out first before I make the leap?

I'm going to move on to basic oil painting, and I want to be sure I've covered my bases, so I figured I'd come to you guys for assistance. For those more experienced artists, is there anything I should work on before taking the leap?

I've added a few of my anatomy drawings for reference. Thanks!

Question I’m an illustrator but I’m trying to start out some comic stuff since really like it. This is my last one, any advices about ANYTHING will be awesome! Also, I only find things to study for graphic novels, not this type of comics, if you have some nice material about it would help a lot! Thank you

Question How can I make the skin look more realistic?

655 Upvotes

I'm trying to recreate my first attempt of realism and I just can't figure out how to make it look like a photo. My goal in drawing is hipper realism but as much changes as I do it still looks like a drawing. I never had anyone to teach me how to draw and there are not a lot of tutorials to watch about realism or hipper realism, worse if its digital. Any help is welcome. Thanks :')

Question (not my art) anyone knows how to draw something like this? (I already have a basic understanding of perspective and shading, but no matter what I fail to draw something as close as this masterpiece)

Question Is it possible to draw portraits like these digitally? I cannot find any tutorials on how to draw these pencil-drawn portraits digitally. Most of them just color the portraits. I am trying to learn to shade and I love these pencil sading styles.

I tried doing a portrait study of Hailee Steinfeld to improve my watercolor skills. The result doesn't match the vision I had in mind, and I can't quite figure out what's missing!
