Definition

Colored pencil is a drawing implement that specifies fine colored lines, layered strokes, and paper grain as one image-control axis. It does not determine subject, composition, era, or creator.

In more detail

The image is structured through fine colored lines, layered strokes, and paper grain. Adjacent material, medium, process, and finished-appearance elements remain independently combinable, and named works or brands are outside its scope.
