I recently received the full set of Aqua Markers from Spectrum Noir, I decided to try two paintings, one was a botanical piece which I love doing with watercolor, or rather its all I can do and the other was this Spirited Away image from the popular Anime.
Caran d'Ache have been running a competition over the past week or so asking for artists to draw an original superhero. At first the instructions of the competition were a bit unclear, at least I picked them up wrong.
I wanted to draw something for Halloween and so thanks to my eldest daughter who is a massive Tim Burton fan, she came up with the idea to draw The Corpse Bride.
As a way of trying to keep everything under one roof so to speak, in this section I have embedded all the speed drawings I have done here, it is just another easy access way of getting to the various content I am trying to add onto the site.
I know, I know, I know, what is a forty something year old bloke doing drawing SpongeBob SquarePants. Well, I have just done a video talking about Art and Depression, which I hope to edit and upload soon, but in that video I talk about the importance of color in the healing process.
I was incredibly fortunate to have been sent some excellent markers, artliners and colored pencils from Spectrum Noir. I have completed a few different bits of art using Spectrum Noir supplies, however, this was the very first speed drawing I completed with them.
I am going to try an do more speed drawings and so as I complete a new drawing, I thought it would be perhaps beneficial to have a single page dedicated to them on The Art Gear Guide. I hope that this will make it easier for you guys to locate a particular speed drawing or simply just browse at you leisure.
