FAQ #1 (Patreon)

One of the frequently asked questions I hear is:
"Why do you/artists use red colour crayon in sketches?!"

Many reasons, I'll try to list a few:

- In digital editing softwares you can simply switch off any particular colour so if more than one is used, like in the sketch above red crayon and black pencil, with one click I can get rid of the red and keep the (let's say) cleaner lines I made after. I can make extra lines, construct the subject, try endlessly making mistakes as long as I still see what I'm drawing!
*(Keep in mind it's not the same as turning a picture to black and white, red is still showing as dark gray if you just do this)

- Many colours can be used - I tried before drawing a basic sketch with yellow, then more defined sketch with green, alternative pose with red and finished lines with pencil, all on one page - And I could then edit all colours out and keep the clean pencil sketch

- Livens up the dull one colour sketch - as simple as this!

- Can be a tool to mark the places where shadows should lay without ruining the sketch

- Crayons have often different texture to pencil, they can be soft, hard, oily or dry, all this gives a diverse mood and feel to the drawing

- Some may simply use their favourite colour because they like it :)
