How To Draw Bubbles With Colored Pencils

Have you lot seen those pictures where other colorists have added really cool details to their pictures like bubbles? Ever wondered how they do it or how you can add some really cool bubbles to your own ocean, bounding main creatures or underwater adult coloring pictures? It looks like it might be hard. Actually once you know how, information technology's actually piece of cake!

I learned how to draw bubbling from some other colorist, Selina Gascoigne, who had posted a step by step tutorial on a Facebook group I'm a member of, Coloring Books for Adults. I was blown away by how easy her technique was and just how brilliant the bubbles looked.

Hither's a film of my first attempt…

What Do You Demand to draw and How to colour bubbling?

• A white or cream colored pencil or a burnisher pencil to draw the circumvolve outline
• Colored Pencils for the highlights (pink, mauve, grey, silver, bluish, aqua, turquoise, white, cream)
• Soft Pastel chalk or eyeshadow in blueish and / or green tones
• White gel pen (I use a uni-ball Signo broad).

and then

1. Create the Bubble Outlines
2. Add the Background Color
3. Add together Shadows to the Bubbling
4. Add Shine to the Bubbles

In the pictures beneath I show four different color combinations for drawing bubbles using the tools listed above.

Step 1 – Create the Bubble Outlines

I am using Crayola Colored Pencils in Sand and White, a Derwent Burnisher Pencil and a Prismacolor Premier Colourless Blending Pencil.

To commencement off I draw some circles of different sizes. I make sure that the outlines are adequately thick lines. This lays down a waxy resist onto the paper so that when I apply my soft pastel or eyeshadow background, the circles stand out.

Step 2 – Add the background color

Here I have applied a groundwork color to look similar water.

I used Mont Marte ® Soft Pastel in a sea greenish colour. I applied the soft pastel to a cotton pad and then rubbed the cotton wool pad over my bubble outlines.

You can see that in all simply the Prismacolor Premier Colourless Blending Pencil quarter, the bubble outlines stand out clearly against the background.

You can also use eyeshadow instead of soft pastels which is what I accept used in the motion-picture show of my commencement attempt to a higher place.

Step 3 – Add Shadows to the Bubbles

Now I add together some shadow colors to the circle to add some depth and dimension to the bubbles.

In the Crayola pictures I used a Crayola Mauve colour pencil to describe a moon shape forth the inside left hand side of the chimera. Next I used a Crayola Silverish colour pencil direct beneath the mauve to fill up in more of the circumvolve. To create a shadow under the bubble shapes I used a Crayola Cerulean color pencil. I colored a thick line along the exterior right hand side of the chimera to create a shadow.

For the Derwent bubbles I used Crayola Pink and Mauve for the inside shadows and a Crayola Turquoise for the outside shadow.

For the Prismacolor Premier Colourless Blender motion-picture show I used a Crayola Mauve and a Crayola Silver color pencil for the inside shadows and Crayola Cool Grey colour pencil for the exterior shadows.

Pace 4 – Add Shine to the Bubbles

The final step is to add some highlights (shine) to the bubbles. I used a white uni-ball Signo gel pen for the highlights.

Inside, towards the superlative left of each bubble I draw a longer curved white line and then a small white dot beside it. This adds the shine to your bubbles.

One time this small-scale white highlight detail has been added to your circles, they magically look similar existent bubbles!

I love how the cream and white Crayola Colored pencil bubbling look. I also love the upshot created by the Prismacolor Premier Colorless blender bubbles as to me, they look like h2o aerosol. On a green background they could wait like dew drops on a leaf.

Why don't y'all experiment with this basic technique using the above guidelines on how to color bubbling and use a range of different background and shadow colors? I know I will be experimenting with them further in my own coloring.
