Star Wars C3PO

I wanted to make sure that this was just a colored pencil piece and nothing else added such as Marker which would be my usual goto medium with colored pencils. I used Prismacolor Premier and Caran d’Ache Luminance. In theory, it doesn’t really make much sense to use both these pencils along side one an other and that is because one is highly lightfast and the other not so much so financially speaking it doesn’t make sense

The Nun Halloween Art

This piece was completed on Strathmore Bristol Smooth 400 Series using Copic Markers, some Art-N-Fly markers and Prismacolor Premier pencils for the detail. Just a fun piece for Halloween and I hope you enjoy it.

Staedtler Mars Lumograph Ballet Pointe Shoes Artwork

This is an art piece created with the Staedtler Mars Lumograph Graphite Pencils and the Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black Carbon Pencils to help demonstrate both of these products together. Graphite is a very forgiving medium and one easy to work with on the right paper.

Spectrum Noir TriBlend Brush Markers Halloween Art Work

A while back Spectrum Noir sent me a 24 box of their Tri-Blend Markers which I tested and reviewed and had a lot of fun with, the first Tri-Blend marker they came out with sported the bullet nib, quite similar to the nib in their Graphic Markers. Now they have come out with a new version of the Tri-Blend, this time with their gorgeous brush tip

Lyra Polycolor Horses Eye Artwork Demonstration

In this refreshed edition of the Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor, as my understanding and knowledge of colored pencils and art in general has improved over the years, I have been able to hopefully provide a much more comprehensive review of the Lyra Polycolor as well as providing real time tests which can be viewed on the YouTube video review.

Caran d'Ache Fancolor Robin and Blue Tit Painting

The Caran d’Ache Fancolor are a children’s based art product, at least this is the market Caran d’Ache have aimed the Fancolor toward, however, it is important to remember we are talking about Caran d’Ache here. As is the case with many of their products, a children’s art product can sometimes match that of a student grade product or even artist grade product for other companies.

Arrtx Coke Tin Artwork

After testing and reviewing the set and enjoying the Arrtx markers so much I will definitely be purchasing the 36 Grey set. Another thing worth mentioning is that the Arrtx markers work very well with other Alcohol based markers.

Castle Art Graphite Eye Artwork

Castle have provided some excellent products at very low prices without compromising on the quality and the Castle Art 40 Piece Drawing Set is no exception. They sell smaller sets of a similar ilk, however to see the other sets and what they comprise of as well as a more detailed look at the Castle Art 40 Piece Drawing Set, check out my YouTube Video review or my written review. I have also completed a quick speed drawing of the eye art created if you would like to see how I created this piece.

Daler Rowney Botanical Art With Watercolour Pencils

When I first started to review these Daler Rowney Watercolour Pencils, if you read the full review on The Art Gear Guide or watch the YouTube video review, you will see that I really wasn’t looking forward to reviewing them never mind creating some artwork with them.

Art Work Using Eberhard Faber Colored Pencils

The paper I used for this drawing was the Strathmore 400 series Mixed Media paper, although I use Strathmore paper all the time, the 400 and 500 series Mixed Media paper is quite new to me. Since using this Mixed Media paper I have absolutely loved it, there is enough tooth on the paper to layer until your hearts content but at the same time, there is a smoothness to the paper allowing for beautiful blends with alcohol markers such as Copics, ProMarkers, Art N Fly and lots of other such mediums.

Artwork of Arteza and Castle Art Colored Pencil Comparison

In order to make sure that both images were identical, I simply sketched out the drawing on the left and then traced it onto the opposite side of the paper. Although it is impossible for me to use the exact same pressure with both pencils throughout the entirety of the art work, I have tried my best to make both images identical.

Star Wars General Grievous

I think this period in our lifetimes has been incredibly challenging, COVID-19 or Coronavirus I think has really taken the world by surprise and has also shaped and new world for many people, some for the better and some not so good. When the lockdown was announced I thought that I would be able to get a lot of reviews done and help to keep you guys entertained. However, I have to be honest and tell you all that it has effected me and my family perhaps a lot more than we could have ever imagined.

Baby Yoda And The Mandalorian

Baby Yoda and the Mandalorian are perhaps the most popular characters on the internet at the minute and whilst we all know who they are, those of us in the UK still can’t access the Disney stream until March this year I believe. With the amount of reviews I have coming up, comparison videos and other projects I want to try, I don’t get as much time to draw, not nearly as much time as I would like.
