Lilly - Part 5 (her nose)

Half an hour of drawing Lilly's nose - so one you could use as a focus video if you wanted to just dip in and out.

You'll see with my noses I don't go in and draw a load of shape lines, I tend to concentrate on the tonal values and create shapes that way.

Lilly - Part 4

This is just 23 minutes approx long. 

This is the top part of her head, I explain my pressure usage, and swap around from using the white Caran D'ache Pablo to using the white Caran D'Ache Museum Aquarell - in all honesty it doesn't really matter what white you use, as long as you're getting the effect you want.

And with this piece it's quite speedy as you don't have to concentrate on loads of details - you're concentrating on values which are so so important. Get your light grey Pablo ready - that's the magic wand in this piece :)

Oh, and it's a whopping 2 hours 10 minutes!

I use Clairfontaine Glassine Paper - I buy it in packs of 25 sheets which are approx 50x70cm from saa.co.uk If you use the pads of pastelmat, then each sheet has a gl...

Jonesy's ear

So, as you'll see Jonesy has multiple spellings of his name!! (My typing isn't up to scratch after much sleep deprivation lol) 

This video is approx one and half hours long and takes you through from the very first pencil stroke to building realistic looking fur on this little Jack Russell's ear. 

I've used lots of colours which are all noted in the briefing pdf for you.&n...
