But everything depends on how effectively one uses them. 

 

This’s because there are probably a million ways anyone can get it wrong and end up with something unexpected. Hence, understanding the correct process and learning some tricks is always helpful. 

 

In this article, I’ll tell a few tips & tricks to effectively use watercolor pencils to make any cat painting easy.

 

 

 

 

1. Find the correct sheet to get going. This’s important because it serves as the platform where everything gets dumped. Hence, look for a Hot press paper which can provide a smooth surface and withstand water easily. A cold-press paper also works, but it has a bumpy texture. Hence, depending on the requirements, choose one to get started.

2. Wrapping of the sheet can cause many problems. Hence, try tapping down the sheet. Get a drawing board, perhaps a plywood, which provides an easel. 

 

3. Take all the time in the world to draw a good sketch of the cat. This’s because applying the colors on a rough sketch may lead to color wasting resulting from continuous sketch revisions.

 

4. Now pick up a color from the tip of a pencil using a wet brush. A good tip is to create a color palette before colouring the sketch. This provides a good deal of options to decide from. Finally, wet the swatch with light water and start painting.

 

 

Let’s go through a few tips & tricks to get the best results.

 

1. Use an electric sharpener to sharp the watercolored pencils and turn the sharpener instead of the pencils to avoid any breakage.

 

2. Use the watercolored pencils like dry pencils to create various aspects of the cat. For instance, the hatching technique, to give a furry and the scumbling technique for a textured effect.

 

3. Another useful trick to get precision is to dip the tip of the pencil in water and tap colored dots on the sketch outline to create the muzzle of the cat.

 

4. A glassy look is possible by dry sketching with the pencil until the sheet gets covered with color pigments. Then liquify the dried layers.

 

5. A white pen helps to create bright highlights.

 

 

 

This is a step-by-step tutorial with tips and tricks to draw a cat painting easily using watercolored pencils. Every step is critical and provides a unique element to the overall sketch. Using watercolored pencils can get tricky, but these steps can help to get the effective results.
