Blend Colored Pencils
Blending Colored pencils is always a challenging
job for an artist .We tried to simply your
efforts . Here are few best techniques how to
blend colored pencils.
3
Layering Pencils
  • One of the best possible and clear-cut approaches
    to blending pencil colors is to utilize pencils
    without any additional stuff. All that you got to
    do is evenly spread the layers of different
    colors over the surface. 
  • Keep the layers as light as possible when you
    start drawing and then gradually, you could
    overlap the colors to give it a finishing touch.

Use Water
  • Watercolor pencils are widely used by
    professional artists since it helps them create a
    beautiful piece of artwork without needing to
    utilize paints.
  • To blend your colored pencils with watercolor,
    the first step is to spread water onto your
    drawing paper filled with colored pencils.
  • Allow sufficient time for the first layer to get
    dry before brushing the water to the next layer.

Smudging
  •  Smudging process needs nothing but a paper
    product to blend your colors.
  • Blend your colors using plain paper, paper towel,
    soft tissue, and even a toilet paper would
    work. You can also use blending stumps to smudge
    your colored pencils properly.
  • The tortillons, though mainly utilized for
    charcoal, leaves your drawing paper with a fine
    blending and can also turn out to be a major
    addition to your color pencil kit. In order to
    smudge pencil colors, start with a dark pencil
    layer to boost the effect.

Solvents
  • Special method to maximize your blending effect
    is the use of solvents.  These solvents typically
    have to be rubbed over the top of your pencil and
    shouldnt be used in a delicate paper. 
  • Paper could resist the application of solvent, it
    is advisable to test the treatment on it by
    applying a small amount of solvent and checking
    if there is any damage caused to the sheet. 

7
Use Baby Oil
  • Baby oil can blend your pencil colors, enhancing
    the overall visual appeal of your drawing paper
  • All you need to have is baby oil, pencil colors,
    and some cotton swabs to dab the oil over the
    colored pencils and give it a finishing touch.
