Colored Pencil Painting Portraits provides straightforward solutions to the problems that artists face in creating lifelike images and will prime readers on the intricacies of colour, texture, shadow and light as they interplay with the human form. This comprehensive guide packed with step-by-step demonstrations considers working from photo references versus live models; provides guidance on posing and lighting, as well as planning and composing a work; discusses tools, materials and revolutionary layering techniques; and offers lessons on capturing gesture and expression and on rendering facial and body features of people of all age groups and skin tones.

Alyona Nickelsen's work has been featured in numerous publications, including American Artist, The Artist's Magazine and American Art Collector.
