Progress

A little bit more progress on the sheet today...

Using Derwent Drawing pencils. These are by far the nicest coloured pencils I have tried so far for how I work. They are very soft and blend so well. I have the 12 set and the colours are a divine, muted kind of earthy tone.

If you prefer a sightly firmer coloured pencil though, I do recommend the 'Artist' range which have a slightly waxy texture and come in lovely jewelled colours.

Colouring In...

I am currently trying to complete my second set of flash artwork.
Here's just a small segment of progression.
I will post more as I go along to keep you all up to date.

I love using colour and these Derwent pencils are just my favourite.
The 'blending' pencil that they produce is fabulous. It smooths and really helps create a nice depth of colour.

Check out their stuff. They have a wide variety of products for you to look at! There are various links on this site to their website. You'll find 'em.

Adventures in Dog Walking

I have recently acquired a puppy!

She is a pomeranian named Toki and is about 3 months old now.
WHAT a hand full.
Having her in my life though, has encouraged me to get outdoors and enjoy the wild a lot more than I used to.
Getting out and about and going on adventures is just about the best thing ever. It gives me a chance to clear my mind and become inspired. Also, I find myself getting back into photography which is a much loved hobby of mine that seems to have been pushed to one side whilst I concentrate on furthering my career. I forgot it's a great way to gather reference material to draw from!

Here are a few of my recent snaps of my dog walking adventures.
