What Weâll Be Drawing During Coloured Pencil Week

This yearâs subjects are so special and inspired by my upcoming trip to Africa. Weâre going on a little safari together…
Lion Cub – Soft Fur & Warm Tones
Weâll focus on those beautiful golden colours and how to layer them so they donât go flat.
Youâll learn how to:
- Build soft, realistic fur
- Work with warm colour palettes confidently
- Avoid that âmuddyâ or flat look
These are skills you can carry into any animal with soft fur.
Giraffe – Structure, Shape & Subtle Values
Giraffes are brilliant for learning how to really see.
Weâll explore:
- How to use subtle values to create form
- How to handle similar colours without losing depth
- How to simplify patterns without losing realism
Perfect if your drawings sometimes feel a little flat or unsure.
Elephant – Texture, Depth & Finishing Your Piece
This is where everything comes together.
Youâll work on:
- Creating realistic skin texture and wrinkles
- Using stronger values for depth
- Bringing a full piece together (including a simple background)
And most importantly⌠finishing your drawing so it feels complete.
