I loved drawing this one :)
Line art, ref and materials list are all attached below.
Can't wait to see how you get on with him :)

This is the full, two and a half hour, real time video talking you through drawing this lovely pony on Fabriano Black Black paper.
The paper is very black, it's tricky to video so this image above looks more grey, but you'll see once you get into the video how black the paper is.
The size is approx A4, and I used A3 paper.
Reference photo and line art are attached, and the mat...

So this is the last video, again I'm so sorry no sound, but you should be able to see exactly what I'm doing. Going over the neck with a tombow and picking out the tiny highlights, and using the Luminance Buff titanium to just lighten up areas - yes it works over the darks which is good - well to a certain extent.
I do hope you've enjoyed this one. Please do credit me as the tutorial orig...

This is a really fun tutorial, from a gorgeous photo by Rose of Daydream Equine Art and Photography. This is her pony Dolly :)
I've used Fabriano Black Black A3 paper, but you can use any really black paper - even anthracite pastelmat if you want to, but I'd recommend a smoother darker paper or mount board.
I've suggested a few whites, but in the end stuck with pablo and museu...

The materials list is attached below for this little piglet. I had a lot of fun with this tutorial, it was relatively quick! I have used quite a few pencils, but don't get bogged down if you don't have the same ones - just choose colours that match and you should be fine. The only ones Id suggest are the pinks for the nose - and the museum aquarell white - as that's the secret weapon for the sh...

Second to last video - this one again is the neck and huge apologies, no voice over, but it still takes you through the drawing in real time, I'm using mostly burnt sienna and burnt ochre luminance. Very light pressure, increasing slightly for darker areas of shadow.

Sorry it's taken a while! These last three videos have little to no narration. I've given you the information you need however so you're not completely on your own.
2019-12-30 21:25:04 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve had a few people ask about the rest is Brandy - and there are still a couple of videos to come. Apologies it takes a while to edit and I’ve been so busy. They will be uploaded by the end of the year though 🥰

Another speedy tutorial - just two white pencils and a putty eraser! And a tiny but of black just for the spots. A good exercise to concentrate on values and form 🥰 will be available from 2nd January.
2019-12-29 17:13:13 +0000 UTC View PostSo sorry but I’m going to have to cancel the q&a tonight. I don’t like cancelling anything but I’m having issues with internet connection. I’ll do the q&a as a video for you and upload rather than it being live. I do apologise. Bonny xx

This is the marketing link for last nights live stream, it's not highly technical, but I share some quick wins you can start doing immediately, and some ideas to finding your voice.
I'm making this available to all tiers, I do hope it's useful.
Merry Christmas everyone :)

I'm holding a live marketing session on Sunday for the $20 and up tiers, but will be sharing the link to all tiers afterwards.
Marketing is a very scary word, but it doesn't have to be. If you just think of marketing as being you then it's much easier. But finding out who you are can have its own challenges.
I'm sharing a couple of things here that might be useful - a link to a quiz...

Next part of the Brandy Tutorial. I'm so sorry about the lack of audio for the first hour because of my mic troubles - I've written a caption at the start to explain what processes and pencils I was using (as best as I can). Hope it's enjoyable nonetheless x

Some of you may be aware, some not, that I worked in leadership and management for a few years, and helped businesses and individuals with motivation and improved production.
One of my favourite workshops was the strategy planning - so I translated what I used to do for telecoms companies into something for artists.
With the help of the amazing Vicki Evans, you may remember her feat...
