How to Conceal Mistakes When Using Color Pencil
Sometimes, when you buy your paper you don't notice that the surface
has scratch marks or indents. Or in my case, I have a cat who likes
to jump on-top of my artwork and he sometimes leaves marks on my
paper. Here are a few tips to help out in concealing or hiding
these kinds of marks on the surface of your paper.
-
Barbara Newton's wonderful tip on how to conceal a scratch mark or indent on your
drawing: apply a little color over the area, then blend the color into the area with a colorless blender marker or pen and then add some more color till the mark is no longer visible.
-
To help hide a stain on your drawing: try using a color similar to the stain color or use an opaque medium such as white or
cream to cover it.
-
To cover a dark mark in a light area, try applying white pencil lightly over the area. Next apply the color that will blend in with the light color area. Might have to do this several times, till the mark is covered.
-
If your paper is white, try using a small amount of bleach or adhesive remover with a q-tip.
-
To cover a tear, try smoothing the area out by using a clear colorless blender marker and apply a coat of fixative.
