Have been spending some time on tutorials that talk about how to use colour pencil to draw fur. I think the first attemps weren't too bad, but definitely need to re-watch and practice more!

very excited to learn. #tradart #TraditionalArt #sketchbook
page from my sketchbook working on small pieces to make them feel like fluffy fur texture -- and the one on right is more to get feather like feeling. drawn with multiple colours and built over layers and layers.

Made another version of the Golden Oriole (the colour pencil piece) I'd worked on last week but used water color this time. There's also pen + some parts with pencil color used for shading.

So I have been looking at vintage art to use as reference, and to help me try something new (in terms of the final result, media)

Here's an Indian Golden Oriole that I sketched with colour pencil, and then used black ink.

practicing sketching and doodling on rough paper really reduces the anxiety of putting pen to paper cause it doesn't feel like using a page of a good sksetchbook...

#TraditionalArt #doodlepractice #sketchingpractice #SilentSunday
a page with line drawing and cross hatching practice. the lower half has an attempt at drawing a face and a funny mug

Also the key here is I'm trying to commit to the ink even mark if i make mistake, and then rework to fix it.
