This exclusive real-time tutorial was originally recorded as part of my Drawcember Challenge two years ago — a fun month-long series where I released one drawing tutorial every other day to keep artists motivated and experimenting with new ideas. What makes this tutorial special is that it was my very first time drawing on black paper, and you’ll see how the dark surface makes colored pencils glow with vibrant contrast and crisp highlights. Step by step, I’ll show you how to create realistic soap bubbles by layering blues, greens, pinks, and yellows, blending them smoothly, and finishing with sharp white accents for that luminous, transparent effect. You’ll also learn how to add subtle reflections and shadows that make the bubbles look alive. This was designed with absolute beginners in mind, yet it introduces techniques that can instantly elevate your colored pencil work. And as usual, the references of this tutorial are included in the Materials section.
