 :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:  these pencil only cost 10.95 gbp for 48 because the box was broken - amazon warehouse they are chinese very pigmented though if you compare say the dark blue with a holbein blue there is no contest but then holbein are a hybred mix of wax and oil and extremely pigmented also extremely expensive..

I have been working on this picture 3 out of the last 4 days. I have been wanting to do this picture for ages but kept putting it back as too hard. This is my first attempt at it.

Title: Practice pieces#11
Post by: Abbietaya on November 07, 2019, 10:00:32 PM
I have been working on this little guy all week. The paper is from a pad called ‘paint on it’ it was a free sample. It has a tooth - its not bad - it was free - jury is out on it.
I made the mistake of taking the top page out, when i got down to work on the jacket i found there were indented diagonal lines which stop my plan of doing a tartan style pattern.
I wasn’t sure whether to add a background or not!

Post by: nolan on November 10, 2019, 07:55:09 PM
beautiful job Abbie :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:

I don't think a background is required. The current colour works well as a complimentary background O0
Title: Re: Practice pieces
Post by: Abbietaya on November 11, 2019, 03:00:29 AM
Thankyou, i was going to play on a piece of rough paper to see best colour for background but i agree to leave well alone.

Title: Practice piece #13
Post by: Abbietaya on January 15, 2020, 09:59:54 PM
I fell foul of a nasty virus , run a fever and couldn’t eat for nearly 31/2 weeks , so feeling sorry for myself i decided to just draw. Instead of concentrating on drawing  or trying to draw realistic portraits i sat down to draw a picture - this is a couple of pics i found in a box i have been looking through i  don’t know where they came from.. i decided to use all the blue shades in polys i own plus cold and warm greys and gold. I hoped / thought the blues would convey the cold ..
