Plus drafting film makes creating colored pencil art quicker and easier! Fall Pumpkin by Rhonda Dicksion is the perfect beginner intro to drafting film and all its advantages.

Drafting film is a fun, forgiving surface that makes your colored pencil work so much faster. Rhonda's easy to understand directions will guide you toward creating this intensely colorful pumpkin on a soft background, in her unique impressionistic style.

You'll draw on both sides of the drafting film and learn Rhonda's go-to strokes, the best way to erase and how to create bright highlights by withholding color.
