Layers of Color

Looking through my art books I've been noticing a very sad lack of color. I've always wanted to be able to do realistic drawings with colored pencil, but I've never been able to get the hang of coloring and getting a solid, realistic look. So, I'm trying out a new technique! For these pictures I used marker for the base colors to get a solid foundation. Now I'm going over the marker with colored pencil to add in the details and shading. Both the girl and the parrot have been sitting unfinished on my table awhile now so maybe if I put them up here it will remind me to actually finish them!
