Hi! My name is Leslie Moselle and I'm from Tampa, Florida. On behalf of Expert Village,
this is the essentials of scrapbooking. Chapter twelve: colored pencils. Although colored
pencils are a classic and a lot of people don't always use them anymore, they're still
a fun way to decorate your scrapbook. Just to show you a great way to use it here, I'll
just go ahead and draw an example. My friend loves frogs so I drew a little picture of
a frog. This is the best method of using your colored pencils. I like to use the dark ones.
Just do an outline just like this. Colored pencils are very easy to use. You can get
nice detailed lines. A lot cleaner than markers. Make sure you keep your sharpener around to
keep you pencils nice and sharpen. They work a lot better when they have a sharp edge.
You just outline your frog or whatever you decide to use. You can use multiple colors.
Plenty of colors to choose from in your colored pencils. Then use the lighter shades to fill
it in. The best thing about colored pencils is you can really get details with different
colors and get a more realistic looking picture. Of course, the best part is it's erasable.
