Here is the 3rd project I wanted to start this week. I just had to have a go at this one. It is so good to learn how each teacher puts their layers down on certain papers. This is how I will build up my own style. Combining different colour layering techniques my own way. …
Black Cat Part 2 In Coloured Pencil
I have always been scared to do black fur so when Becca said she was going to do this tutorial I just had to have a go. Plus I have a black cat called Friske and I would so love to draw her. I was up early (5.15am) to start part 2 of this tutorial. …

Blue Tit in Coloured Pencil

I am so proud of what I have achieved with my Zebra drawing. I finally finished it. It is a tutorial by Bethany Vere but to be honest I basically went my own way. I just couldn’t follow along like I could with other tutors. I find when I’m getting close to a finish on …
