Christmas Sleigh
I ordered his tutorial to learn more how to draw gold. His gold looks more realistic! Hope he is doing better.

Mark Menendez Christmas Sleigh
Loved this one! Mark's method is not nearly as tedious as some others I have found for colored pencil. He does promote layer after layer of color. Starting with a tobacco-colored paper greatly sped up the process. The instructions were easy to follow, I had all the pencil colors he listed, and my drawing ended up worthy of framing!
