This is a basic tutorial that I made 2 years ago.
This is my first colored pencil tutorial for Prismacolor brand pencils.
You will need:
Prismacolor colored pencils
Colorless blending pencil
Bristol or heavyweight sketch paper
*light table optional
If you find this tutorial helpful and feel it may be useful to others, please add it to your favorites. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask them below.
Questions already asked:
Where can I buy a light table?
Any craft store or professional art supply store (like Jo-Ann Fabrics) or search Google.com to find all kinds.
Are Derwent pencils like Prismacolor?
I have no idea. I've never used that brand before, sorry.
What colors are used in the hair?
Crimson Lake, Crimson Red, Goldenrod and Burnt Ochre
Does the light table shine bright enough to see through something thick like Bristol?
Yes, you should be able to see your art under the Bristol paper, but it won't be as bold due to the thickness.
Where can I find colorless blending pencils?
Any craft store, like Jo-Ann Fabrics.
Or you can find them online: http://www.dickblick.com/zz205/08a/
You can see the same tutorial where I uploaded it in one piece originally over on my DA account:

Ohmy, I would totally love to get a light table someday...
I've used my TV as a "light table" before. ;3; That's pretty sad... It's a pain to have to stop every few seconds because the image on the screen isn't bright anymore. XD I've found that CNN tends to stay with bright images the longest... Ohgosh, I really need to invest more money in my art supplies. XD

clean windows,glass plates,or tabletops with a light behind/under them also work.there are clear plastic clipboards at some walmarts that work wonderfully with a flashlight.though with those you need to watch how you hold your arms or you might get sore joints after a few minutes...
I was looking for Prisma tutorials on DA and found this C: I must say I looove yo for making it! I've always used microns to ink my stuff, but the colored pencil always covered it up, and rendered my microns unusable afterwords. So I want to try it without inking like you do :D So thanks!
I use a lot of colored pencils in my work, have for years. It's nice to see this tutorial and sure would have saved me some headaches if I'd seen it a few years ago. I can help answer that Derwent/Prismacolor question as I use both brands. Derwents are a little bit bigger around than Prismacolors so the grip feels a bit different but not really so noticeable once you get used to them. The 'lead' also tends to be just a tad waxier or harder than Prismas so blending with them is a bit different though they'll actually blend well enough with Prismas that you can use the two together. One advantage of being able to use both brands is that Derwents have slightly different shades of many earth tones that compliment what you usually have to blend to acheive with Prismas. This can save a lot of time especially if you have a large field of some colors like tan which Prisma doesn't really have one good pencil for.
