Some things to think about... Experimenting and practicing with small areas of colour is essential when trying out a new technique. Try this exercise to find out what you can do with your pencil crayon when drawing flowers and plants.
Shading: Make a series of shaded areas using different pressures on your pencil crayon, how much variation can you get? how smoothly do two colours work together?
Hatching: cover an area with straight marks, making sure to keep them straight and avoid curving.
Cross-hatching: cover another area with regular hatching then hatch the opposite direction across. Experiment with areas of fine hatching and course hatching also. How does it look when you use similar colour to opposite colours? Try to overlay multiple colours.
Scumbling: Use regular even circles and random irregular circles. Try and use a variety of colour combinations.
Incising: Create two thick layers of contrasting colour over the top of each other, use a variety of implements that you have to hand to scratch away the top layer.
Here is a step by step printable handout on how to draw animals and pets using pencil
crayon. There are sections on creating different textures and fur using basic techniques with
annotations.
