Got these Caran d’Ache Neocolor Aquarelle pencils as a gift from a friend and had to try them out immediately!
My verdict, they are amazing and so much fun to draw with!
I’ve used plenty of watercolour pencils before, it was my preferred medium during my teenage years, but these are different. The colours are so vivid and rich. It’s a lot of fun to draw with. I just need to practice a bit to get the hang of them.
Have you tried these ones before?
And the final dog drawing.
Checking if I can still draw… After all good intentions of sketching daily, I did not open my sketchbook once during the last 6 weeks of travel…
Now back home, I got my desk cleaned up, spent another 30min looking for my pencil case, and eventually started out with a number of 5 min animal sketches. This one was 25 min from start to finish.
When even the dogs are sweating. Let’s call it teamwork….
Have a great weekend everyone!
This forest scene is inspired by the little mushroom person that came out of nowhere in the last drawing…
I´m experimenting with adding a bit of colourful highlights to my ink drawings. What do you think?
I have also decided to spend Inktober to explore new and old characters.
This is what happens when you want to use all your new coloured pencils at once. A coloured mess.
Oh well. At least I tried them all out. I will try again. But I am also on the way to buy a few more coloured pencils. Just in love with them!
Watercolour and pencils. Bought beautiful Caran d’ache Luminance pencils and their colours are simply amazing.
Now I just need to learn of how to use them properly.
Sometimes it feels good to blow off steam.
