If you’ve ever heard the term burnishing in coloured pencils and wondered what it actually means, this video is for you! Burnishing is one of the most important techniques for creating smooth, vibrant blends, but it’s also one that many beginners overlook.
In this tutorial, I’ll explain exactly what burnishing is, why it works, and when you should use it in your drawings. To demonstrate, I’ll be drawing cherries with Prismacolor pencils, a perfect subject for showing how burnishing can create shiny, polished surfaces.
By the end of the video, you’ll understand how to use burnishing to avoid scratchy pencil marks, bring richness to your colours, and make your coloured pencil art look more realistic.
