Wonderful, Kate! Love specially the kitties portraits. :D They are sooooo cute! =^.^=
ReplyDeleteI will try drawing mine in watercolor pencils too. I have a few colors but I think it's enough for something interesting. Let's see... :) Wish me luck! lol

Of course you can do it! I look forward to seeing them.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the video and the tips. I've had a set of the Derwent watercolor pencils forever but didn't really know how to get nice effects with them before.
ReplyDeleteI do have a question. How do you sharpen them? My regular electric sharpener doesn't seem to do a good job on art pencils.
Thank you! Get those out and play with them...
ReplyDeleteI use a Prismacolor hand pencil sharpener, it seems to be most controllable. It looks like an elongated black egg, sort of.
Really nice effects with the pencils. I like the combination of stroke and wash. I particularly like the last one of the cat.
ReplyDeleteThank you, they ARE very versatile...
ReplyDeleteLove this look, Kate. I have been doing this for awhile, but always oversketching with a non-watersoluble colored pencil to hold the line. Somehow I though all my lines would melt away, but you have shown me that's not true - thanks!
ReplyDeleteThey only melt away if you're using Albrecht Durers and scrub a bit! Otherwise you get that nice vibration. Fun, eh??
