Sketch for a card. The recipient, her parents, and possibly her grandparents won't have a clue what it is!!

Carolina Wren — the wren I hear most often in the ravine: loud and clear! Coloured pencil on hot pressed paper. Thanks to Paul Reeves for the use of his wren photo as a reference. #ColouredPencils #BirdArt #WildlifeArt #WildlifeArtist

I finished the young foxes. They can now run free as I scrub the pencil dust off my hands and desk (and clothes) 😏 Thanks to Bonny Snowdon for the fox tutorial. Photo credits: Pixabay (foxes) and me (background). #WildlifeArt #Foxes #ColouredPencils

When/if I finish this piece, I’m going to have to clean a lot of pencil dust out of my skin and hair, and maybe get a new kneadable eraser 😛 Still, one fox done, 2/3 of a fox to go … Photos from pixabay (foxes) and me (logs); fox tutorial by Bonny Snowdon #WildlifeArt #ColouredPencils #RedFox

I’ve begun a drawing that uses my own photo as a ref for the background and one from pixabay as a ref for the fox kits, while following a tutorial on the kits (Bonny Snowdon). The loose sketching is freaking me out, lol. I usually draw in detail, section by section, but am making myself try this new (to me) method of sketching in tonal values across the foxes before adding detail. It’s good to experiment — even if you’re rubbish at sketching, as I am 🫣 #ColouredPencils #WildlifeArt #RedFox

Finished! Male pileated woodpecker feeding his young. Such a good dad! Ref photo: iStock #BirdArt #WildlifeArt #ColouredPencils #CanadianArtist

On this dreary, rainy day am drawing tree bark. Brownish-grey bark cheers me up — what can I say? Ref photo: iStock #BirdArt #WildlifeArt #CanadianArtist #ColouredPencils

The realism some #artists accomplish in #ColoredPencils #ColouredPencils boggles my mind. Sheer mad props for artmaking badassery! I struggle against defaulting to realism (happily I'm not that good!). I'm most practiced at #watercolor & that's the approach I bring to colored pencil as I learn it. (In fact I got colored pencils this year so I could work in color while lolling on the couch with a cat on my lap--not feasible with wet media IMHO). Choosing subjects/refs a challenge right now.

This wolf was a huge pleasure to draw — except for the last ten minutes when I got impatient to finish 😄 With thanks to Bonny Snowdon for the tutorial and Susan Richardson for the reference photo! #WildlifeArt #Wolf #Wolves #ColouredPencils #Pastelmat #CanadianArtist #WildlifeArtist

I finished this rhino just in time for my husband’s birthday. I kept having to untape it from my drawing board and replace it with the wolf picture before he walked in the door. It was a relief to just give it to him and be done with it 😏 Ref photo: iStock #WildlifeArt #ColouredPencils
If you are in London do go to this brilliant exhibition -

I pretty much hated Pastelmat (a cellulose-based surface) until I began working on this wolf. It is giving me so many options for texture — which is ideal for wolf hair. I love it!

I’m at that stage of drawing Mr. Red, like reading a good book, where I want to rush to the end but don’t want to stop reading 😏 Posted with permission by the owner and photographer. #ColouredPencils #DogArt #Vizsla #DrawingBoard #AmDrawing

So I've started playing around with those watercolour pads I picked up on Friday, And my grog, there's more tooth in this than the second Aliens film.
Back when I was trying to be an animation student and draw everything with line, I drew on smooth paper only. So this is WAY outside my comfort zone, and that's a good thing.
Top left is blending blue and yellow, while the rest is a skin tone exercise, but trying out rubbing alcohol to blend.
