In this video, I finally am getting back into doing some color since I know a lot of you are wanting to learn how. It feels nice to get back into it again. So, lets talk about what I will be using during the rest of this video series. The main pastels that I have is a 72 set of Derwent pencil pastels. I also have some Prismacolor Nu pastels and Sennelier pastels as well. The other 2 brands are cheaper and they come in a set of about 24 for a pretty cheap price. They work really well though.

I picked out 3 shades of blue as well as some white for the sky. Using the light white for the bottom and working darker and darker towards the top is the way I generally like to color my skies in. Then just using some white pastel, I started to make some puffy clouds that will be floating off to the sides of the drawing. I also used a bit of darker brown to get some shadows into the clouds as well. You can do this if you like or you can just leave the bottoms of the clouds a bit of a darker blue color. That works as well.
