pressure plays an important role in how a colored pencil will behave on a surface. therefore it's important to consider the amount of pressure you apply when you're making marks on a surface. logically, an infinite range can be applied when you are using a colored pencil. but for this video series we'll simplify it into three categories: light pressure, medium pressure, and heavy pressure.

EBOOK

The pressure placed on the pencil will greatly affect the marks that are made and the behavior of the medium on the surface.

Light Pressure Medium Pressure Heavy Pressure

Varying the pressure placed on the pencil will affect the value and intensity of the color that is applied. By varying the intensity, the artist has complete control over the marks and the color.

Hatching with varied pressure

Cross hatching with varied pressure
