Colored pencil drawing is an art medium using wax- or oil-based pigmented pencils to create detailed, layered images with fine control over shading, blending, and texture. Hobbyists and professional illustrators favor it for its portability, precision, and forgiving nature compared to paint, often using techniques like burnishing and layering to achieve rich color depth. It's popular for botanical illustration, portraiture, and realistic still-life work.
