Veronica Winters Demonstrates Realistic Colored Pencil Techniques in Donut Drawing Tutorial

publication · 2026-03-24

Artist Veronica Winters has published a detailed tutorial on creating realistic textures using colored pencils, featuring a step-by-step demonstration of drawing multiple donuts. The tutorial explains advanced techniques such as shading, texture creation, and color harmony, rather than basic drawing methods. Winters describes her process of working on all donuts simultaneously by layering colors after first completing the background to establish contrast. The project required approximately five hours per donut and over eight hours for background shading on a 12x14 inch light gray printmaking paper. The tutorial promotes her instructional book 'The Colored Pencil Manual' and video course 'Complete Colored Pencil Techniques in 90 days,' which include a full demonstration of ten donuts.
