Part 3.
7 minutes in a good bit about adding shadow to hairs and layers.
36 minutes in for some reason I talk about Nanny Mcphee and her wart - I think it's to do with the little round area on the side of the head.
41 Tonal values - best way to get realism
1 hour 4 mins working on the head, less is more.

Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, and to those who have bought the kit already - I've sold half of them in just two hours which is amazing. There are only 50 left - and I don't want to do a big sell lol, but these launch outside of Patreon tomorrow, so if you did want one I think now is the time.
I have some other things happening next week too - another very special one for Patr...

Part 2
Some good points if you don't have time to watch the whole video:
37 minutes in I talk about noses and tonal values
44 minutes in the importance of getting your darks in because it sets the scene for the highlights and mid tones
Judith Green has very kindly sent me this information. She bought the Pico Genie 550 Plus 2 that I recommended, and has found a fab overhead rig so it's easy to use.
Pixapro table stand £19.99 from essentialphoto.co.uk
Small rig clamp 14.99 from Amazon

October's focus video, the German Shepherd fur focus. You'll find the materials list attached below with the reference photo plus the blurred version of the ref photo.
I've used Polydraw .050 drafting film, if you don't have polydraw you can use grafix drafting film or duralar - however the duralar doesn't work so well with the slice.
You can try this on smooth paper, but the ...

Part 1 of the puppy.
I've included the colours I've used, and will try not to add any more. If you don't have the lighfasts, replace with the luminance and Polychromos - taupe/sepia 50% fossil grey/sepia 50% Arctic/Cold Grey 1 Denim/Dark Indigo

I will be exclusively revealing all to you on Sunday 4th October - it will be top secret so absolutely no sharing outside of Patreon, as I'm launching to everyone else on the 5th.
I will be sharing a post at 2pm Sunday afternoon UK time.
It is exclusive to me and a limited edition.
Keep those guesses coming ;)

Well not really lol!! Some idea of perhaps some packaging?
All will be revealed on Sunday afternoon (uk time) exclusively here on Patreon 🥰

Another little clue - you’ll be getting a Patreon exclusive launch on Sunday the 4th. And then other things are coming to make your lives so much easier 🥰

Making a start on the Weimaraner puppy 🥰 white pastelmat board but you can use hot press paper if you wish. I want to concentrate on softness, lost edges and tones. Obviously we’ll be looking at colour and getting that pinky grey sheen 🥰

You all know I'm working on some projects at the moment, and am launching something quite special on the 5th.
Just thought you'd like to see a little sneak peak from a load of video footage take today for a new welcome video I'm creating.
Trying to create a professional video with three crazy dogs is quite hard - so I thought well just keep it real as per usual and let them co...

Ohhhh you are going to love this one 🥰 such fun, speedy and loads of slice action. Polydraw drafting film, half a dozen polychromos and a slice tool. And you don’t even have to trace an outline - it’s all freehand 🥰

I mentioned this pdf last night in my live stream. It's excellent!!
One of my patrons, Cass created this, and I used it for the Look Out line drawing. I know not all of us have photoshop, but if you do this is an easy step by step guide in how to create a really useful line drawing.
I know these are sold out, however if you did want to purchase these as a separate set, these are the colours that were included : Oh and don't forget the discount code for the Coloured Pencil Shop BSFA10

Yesterday in Art Club, I talked about the necessity of creating a clean background when getting your images ready for print.
I use old fashioned ways of using photoshop, but promised I'd have a search to find a video that would help.
Well here it is! Fantastic, easy to follow and very easy to listen to :)

The full tutorial will be this adorable Weimaraner puppy - the colouring is going to be very interesting, I'll do a video before hand talking through how I'm going to choose my colours. This one will be on pastelmat this month :) not decided if it will be white or dark grey.
The focus tutorial will be the German Shepherd fur, and this will be on drafting film, because I'll be using the sl...

I'm so sorry it's taken ages to review this projector.
The video is a little rushed, but shows how the projector works, and shows how clear the image is and how amazing it is. It has a smart focus, so no trying to focus the image whilst trying to keep the projector still, it does it all for you - and from as little as around 6-8 inches away from your surface!!!!
