Pokeleaf Rainbow Shading

Continuing our exploration of colored pencils using “Rainbow Shading” techniques, I created two more pictures. The first one is a sweet simple picture using only Pokeleaf, Fife and Crescent Moon tangles, this is the exercise Art Clubbers and I will develop during our Rainbow Shading Part 3 of the series.

On the left side of this next picture you can see one sample of the exercise we completed in Part 2 of the series. On the center and right side you see the real application of those techniques into a full pictures, using tangles Pokeleaf, Fife, Crescent Moon, Bales and Arukas (all Zentangle).

In this close-up you can see how the color variation is abundant in this picture, creating a rich color that is not just coloring, but instead, shading with color.

Here's a before and after coloring:

In this other picture I used Pokeleaf, Scena (both Zentangle) and Joki (Kim Aarts), using a similar technique of color shading:
